14 - ENGLISH

Precautions for use

Cautions on use

■■In order to get the picture quality

zzDraw 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, in order to obtain high-quality images with higher contrast. zzDepending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate due to the hot air from the air exhaust port or

the heated or cooled air from the air conditioner.

Take care so that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.

zzThe projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period just after switching on. Focus stabilizes 30 minutes after video projection starts.

■■Do not touch the surface of the projection 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. Please put the lens cover (accessory) on the projector when you do not use it.

■■LCD panel

The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. This is not a malfunction.

Also, projecting a still image for extended periods of time may lead to afterimages on LCD panels. Please be aware that in some cases these afterimages may not disappear completely.

■■Optical components

If using in an environment with a high temperature, or where dust or tobacco smoke is present, the replacement cycle of optical components such as LCD panels and polarizing plates may shorten even after less than one year of use. For more details, please consult your dealer.

■■Lamp

The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure. A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.

zzThe brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage. zzThe lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.

zzThe life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specificities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.

zzIn rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.

zzThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit consistently.

(When to replace the lamp unit ( page 101), Replacing the lamp unit ( page 102)) zzIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke. zzIt is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.

■■Projection distance calculation formula

You can calculate projection dimensions from the projection screen size SD (m) using the formula below. The unit of the formula is “m”. (All values obtained using the formula below are approximate and may differ slightly from the actual values.)

	Screen aspect ratio 16:9	Screen aspect ratio 4:3
Projection screen height (SH)	= SD (m) x 0.490	= SD (m) x 0.6
Projection screen width (SW)	= SD (m) x 0.872	= SD (m) x 0.8
Minimum projection distance (LW)	= SD (m) x 1.1503 - 0.056	= SD (m) x 1.4098 - 0.053
Maximum projection distance (LT)	= SD (m) x 2.2951 - 0.041	= SD (m) x 2.8106 - 0.037

Adjusting adjustable feet

In order to make the projection screen rectangle, place the projector on a flat surface with its front surface parallel to the screen. If the screen is tilted lower, extend the adjustable feet and adjust the angle to make a rectangle screen. If the projector is tilted horizontally, also use the adjustable feet and adjust the angle to keep the projector flat. The adjustable feet can be extended by turning it as shown in the figure, and it is retracted by turning it in the reverse direction.

Adjustable range

Adjustable feet: 16 mm (5/8")

Attention

zzHeated air is expelled from the air exhaust port. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when adjusting the adjustable feet. ( page 20)

Note

zzTighten the adjustable feet until you hear them click into place.

Lens shift and positioning

If the projector is not positioned right in front of the center of the screen, you can adjust the projected image position using the lens shift function.

■■Adjusting the lens shift

1) Remove the lens shift cover.

zzRefer to “Removing the lens shift cover” ( page 20) for how to remove the lens shift cover.

Note

zzPosition the projector directly in front of the screen and move the lens shift lever to the center to obtain the optimum projection image quality.

zzWhen the lens shift lever is at the horizontal limit of the shift range, you cannot move the lever to the vertical limit. Likewise, when the lens shift lever is at the vertical limit of the shift range, you cannot move the lever to the horizontal limit.

zzThe focus may change when the lens position is shifted out of the adjustment range. This is because the movement of the lens is restricted to protect the optical parts.

zzIf the projected image cannot be fit into the screen using the lens shift function alone, adjust the projection angle using the adjustable feet ( page 26), and then correct the keystone distortion using the [POSITION] menu → [KEYSTONE] ( page 54).

Connections

Before connecting to the projector

zzRead carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. zzTurn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.

zzIf any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for the connection of the device, prepare a necessary system connection cable.

zzVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.

zzThe projector accepts video signals, S-video signals, analog RGB signals (with TTL sync. Level), and digital signals.

zzSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.
