ACCESSORIES

Do not use the old lamp unit.

If used it could cause lamp explosion.

If the lamp has broken, ventilate the room immediately. Do not touch or bring your face close

to the broken pieces.

Failure to observe this will cause the user to absorb the gas which was released when the lamp broke and which contains nearly the same amount of mercury as fluorescent lamps, and the broken pieces will cause injury.

If you believe that you have absorbed the gas or that the gas has got into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

Ask your dealer about replacing the lamp unit and check the inside of the projector.

CAUTIONS WHEN TRANSPORTING

When transporting the projector, the leg adjusters must be housed and do not hold them.

When transporting, keep the projector in the provided carrying bag with the lens cover on it.

•Face the lens of the projector in an upward direction and put it gently into the carrying bag.

•Do not put anything other than the projector and its accessories in the carrying bag.

CAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING

DO NOT USE UNDER THE FOLLOWING

CONDITIONS.

•Do not set up the projector outdoors.

The projector is designed for indoor use only.

•Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.

If the projector is installed in a place where vibrations are transmitted or mounted in a car or a vessel, vibrations or impacts will result in damage to the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product in a place free from vibrations and impacts.

Precautions with regard to safety (continued)

Cautions on use

IN ORDER TO GET THE PICTURE QUALITY

Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen. Depending on where the projector is used, air exhaust vents or the warm air from air conditioning can cause a shimmering effect on the screen. For this reason, take care not to shield the air exhaust vents and consider the direction of the air flowing from air conditioning.

DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE

PROJECTOR LENS WITH YOUR BARE HAND.

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Please put the standard lens cover on the projector when you do not use it.

DO NOT MOVE THE PROJECTOR WHILE IT IS OPERATING OR SUBJECT IT TO VIBRATION OR IMPACT.

The service life of its internal components will be shortened.

THE PROJECTOR HAS A HIGH PRESSURE MERCURY LAMP THAT IS

CHARACTERIZED AS FOLLOWS:

•The brightness of the lamp will decrease over time.

•The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by shocks or chipping damage.

•In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first use.

•The possibility of its bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time.

•If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released in the form of smoke.

•The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the individual difference or conditions of use.

•In particular, turning the power on and off frequently and/or repeatedly as well as continuous use for

10 hours will greatly affect the life cycle. Provide a lamp for replacement in advance.

CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL DEVICE

OPTICAL COMPONENTS

It may be necessary to replace the optical components such as Liquid crystal panels and Polarizing plates

in less than 1 year if using the projector in a high temperature environment or in a very dusty, oily smoke or tobacco smoke environment. For more details, please contact your dealer.

LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL

The Liquid crystal panels are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit, but this is not a malfunction.

Do not project the same image for long periods of time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See “TEST PATTERN” on page 41.

You can calculate detailed screen dimensions from the “Screen diagonal”. The unit of all the calculation results is m. (The results below differ slightly from the actual measurements.)

If the projection size is SD,

		For 4:3 aspect ratio	For 16:9 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH)		= SD (") × 0.0152	= SD (") × 0.0125
Screen width (SW)		= SD (") × 0.0203	= SD (") × 0.0221
Minimum distance (LW)	PT-LB3	= 0.0292 × SD (") - 0.025	= 0.0318	× SD (") - 0.011
	PT-LB2V/PT-LB1V	= 0.0302 × SD (") - 0.035	= 0.0330	× SD (") - 0.041
Maximum distance (LT)	PT-LB3	= 0.0351 × SD (") - 0.033	= 0.0383	× SD (") - 0.035
	PT-LB2V/PT-LB1V	= 0.0358 × SD (") - 0.035	= 0.0391	× SD (") - 0.040

NOTE:

•For best projection image quality, install a screen where sunlight or room lightings do not shine directly onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the light and turn off the lightings.

•Do not use the projector at a raised or horizontally tilted position. It may cause the projector to malfunction.

However, you can tilt the projector’s body approximately ±30 ° vertically and ±10 ° horizontally.

Over tilting may result in shortening the component’s life.

+30 °

-30 °

•Do not cover the air outlet port and air intake ports or place anything within 50 cm (20") near them as this may cause damage or injury.

Connections

Preparations

•Read and follow the operating instructions of each peripheral device and turn the peripheral devices off prior to making any connections.

•Prepare the selected peripheral devices with the connection cables that correspond to the projector’s terminals.

•All peripheral devices and cables used for the connections are sold separately unless indicated otherwise.

•If the input signal is affected by signal jitter, the projected image may have poor image quality and timebase correction is effective.

•Confirm the types of video signals, see “LIST OF COMPATIBLE SIGNALS”. ( page 52)
