Before use
Cautions when moving the projector
Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the
projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and
shocks. When moving the projector, use the accessory
carrying bag. When placing the projector inside the carrying
bag, position it so that the lens is facing upward.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration
or shocks.
The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause
malfunctions or accidents.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines
or near motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified
technician to carry out all installation work.
You will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model
No.ET-PKC80). Furthermore, all installation work should only
be carried out by a qualified technician.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1400 m),
set the FAN CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 43.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any
fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent outside light or
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare
hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or
anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the
screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the
lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.
About the screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause
discolouration to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or
damaged.
About the lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables
such as individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and
the installation environment, especially when the projector is
subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the
power is frequently turned on and off.

projector operation may not be
possible. Place the projector
as far away from light sources
as possible.
B If facing the remote control unit
toward the screen to operate
the projector, the operating
range of the remote control
unit will be limited by the
amount of light reflection loss
caused by the characteristics
of the screen used.

condition. To prevent this from happening, you can set “AUTO
KEYSTN” in the OPTION1 menu to “OFF”. (Refer to page 42.)
B Keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the angle of tilt for the
projector. However, the greater the correction amount, the more the
picture quality will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve
a good level of focus. To obtain the best picture quality, set up the
projector and screen in such a way that the amount of keystone
correction required is as minimal as possible.
B The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion
is carried out.
Use the F and G buttons on the

for details.)
ON
The pixel resolution of the input
signal is converted to the same
resolution as the LCD panels before
being projected. For signals with
lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels
are automatically interpolated into
the picture before it is projected.
This may sometimes cause
problems with the quality of the
picture.
OFF
The picture signal is projected at its
original resolution, with no pixel
conversion. The projected picture
will be smaller than normal, so
adjust the zoom setting or move the
projector forwards or backwards to
adjust the picture size if necessary.
If set to “OFF”, some features, such
as D.ZOOM (digital zoom),
keystone distortion correction or

when selecting the aspect ratio.
B
If using this projector in places
such as cafes or hotels with the
aim of displaying programs for

B
If a normal (4:3) picture which was
not originally intended for widescreen viewing is projected onto a
wide screen, distortion may occur
around the edges of the picture so
that part of the picture is no longer
visible. Such programs should be
viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper
consideration to the aims and
intentions of the original program’s
creator.
