shocks to occur.
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
uorescent 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.
Do not use projectors with the adjustable
feet or lens cover removed.
If this not observed, the sets will not operate correctly
or accidents will result.

NGLISH - 9
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 owing from air conditioning.
Do not touch the surface of the
projector lens cover with your
bare hand.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and
projected onto the screen.
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.
z
The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by
z
shocks or chipping damage.
In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the rst use.
z
The possibility of its bursting increases when the
z
lamp is used beyond the replacement time.
If the lamp bursts, gas inside the lamp is released
z
in the form of smoke.
The life of a mercury lamp varies according to the
z
individual difference or conditions of use.
In particular, turning the power on and off frequently
z
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
When connecting the projector to a computer or
external device, use the power cord supplied with the
corresponding device and a commercially available
shielded interface cable.
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 42.
Security

You can calculate more detailed screen dimensions from the screen diagonal.
The results below are approximate and may 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 (m) × 0.0152 = SD (m) × 0.0125
Screen width (SW) = SD (m) × 0.0203 = SD (m) × 0.0221
-
Minimum distance (LW) = 0.0292 × SD (m)
Maximum distance (LT) = 0.0351 × SD (m)
0.036 = 0.0318 × SD (m) - 0.022

0.044 = 0.0383 × SD (m) - 0.046
Note
z
For the best quality of the projection image, install a screen where sunlight or room light does not shine directly
onto the screen. Close window shades or curtains to block the light and turn off the lamps.
z
Do not use the projector at a raised or a horizontally tilted position. Doing so may cause malfunction of the
projector.
You can tilt the projector body approximately ±30 ° vertically and ±10 °
horizontally.
Overtilting may result in shortening the component’s life.
