Connections
Before connection to the projector
Read and follow the operating and connecting instructions of each peripheral device.The peripheral devices must be turned off.Use cables that match each peripheral device to be connected.If the input signal is affected by signal jitter, the projected image may have poor image quality and timebase
correction is effective.
Confirm the type of video signals. See “List of compatible signals” on page 46.Only one audio system circuit is available for each of the COMPUTER AUDIO IN and AUDIO IN L-R
connectors, so if you change the audio input source, you will need to remove and insert the appropriate
plugs.
If the signal cables are disconnected or if the power supply for the computer or video deck is turned off while
“DIGITAL ZOOM” or “INDEX-WINDOW” is being used, these functions will be cancelled.

aspect ratio and the size of the image.
• You can correct the keystone distortion manually when
“REALTIME KEYSTONE” is set to “ON”.
However, when you turn on the power, the amount of
correction will be reset and “REALTIME KEYSTONE”
will function again if the tilt is different from the last time
you used the projector. If you correct the keystone
distortion manually when “REALTIME KEYSTONE” is
set to “OFF”, the amount of correction will be stored by
the projector even after the power is turned off.

Care and Replacement
Cleaning the projector
J Before cleaning the projector
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.Unplug all the cables from the projector.
J Cleaning the outer surface of the projector
Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a soft cloth.
If it is difficult to remove the dirt, soak a cloth in a neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well
and then wipe the projector. Dry off the projector with dry cloth.
If you use a chemical treated wipe, follow the instructions supplied with it.
J Cleaning the lens
Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a lint-free cloth.
Make sure no dirt or dust remains on the surface of the lens. It will be enlarged and projected onto a
screen.
J Cleaning the air filter
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature of the projector will rise, the TEMP indicator
will illuminate and the projector’s power will turn off (the TEMP indicator will flash after the power is turned off).
The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any accumulated dust.
NOTE:
• If the dust cannot be cleaned by a vacuum cleaner, remove the air filter and soak it in water, and then wash out the dust by
hand. Be sure to install the air filter after it has dried.
• Do not use detergent when washing the air filter.
• If the dust cannot be removed by cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Please consult your dealer.
Furthermore, if the lamp unit is being replaced, replace the air filter at this time also.
Replacing the air filter
J Before replacing the Air filter
Maintenance

Replacing the Lamp unit
J Before replacing the Lamp unit
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.Make sure the Lamp unit and the surroundings are cooled enough.Prepare a Phillips-head screwdriver.Contact an Authorised Service Centre to purchase a replacement Lamp unit (ET-LAB50).When the projector is mounted in the ceiling, do not work directly under the projector or put your face closer
to the projector.
NOTE:
• Prior to replacing the lamp unit, allow it to cool down to prevent the risk of burns, damage and other hazards.
• Do not attempt replacement with an unauthorised lamp unit.
J When to replace the Lamp unit
The Lamp unit is a consumable product. Even when the full life of the bulb has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light will gradually decline. Therefore periodic replacement of the lamp is necessary.
The intended lamp replacement interval is 2 000 hours, but it is possible that the lamp may need to be
replaced earlier due to variables such as a particular lamp’s characteristics, usage conditions and the
installation environment.
Early preparation for lamp replacement is encouraged.
The lamp will automatically shut off after approximately 10 minutes when 2 000 hours of use have been
reached because of a much greater chance of it exploding after this time.

J Replacement procedure
NOTE:
• If the lamp usage time has passed 2 000 hours (when “LAMP POWER” has een set to “STANDARD” and when “AI” has
been set to “OFF”), the projector will switch to standby mode after approximately 10 minutes of operation. The steps 7 to
12 should thus be completed within 10 minutes.

standby mode (approximately 90 seconds after the indicator switches off).
Be sure to wait until the lengths of time mentioned above have passed before sending the command.
If sending multiple commands, check that a response has been received from the projector for one
command before sending the next command.
When a command which does not require parameters to be sent, the colon (:) is not required.If an incorrect command is sent from the personal computer, the ER401 command will be sent from the
projector to the personal computer.
