Chapter 1 Preparation
This chapter describes things you need to know or check before using the projector.
14 - ENGLISH
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components
or malfunction.
f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate in rare cases due
to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air. Make sure 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.
f Places with sharp temperature uctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may result in deformation of the
projector body due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) when using it at
elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it at high
altitudes (1 400 m (4 593') or higher – lower than 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
f Place where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP
chips.
rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the projector to
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
Model No.: ET-PKR100H (for High Ceilings), ET-PKR100S (for Low Ceilings), ET-PKR100P (for portrait)
rAsk a qualied technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGITAL LINK
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a
location sufciently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN>
terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
rFocus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period
just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the focus.
rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
rWhen installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30° vertically, set
[COOLING CONDITION] (x page 79).
Failure to observe this may shorten the life of the components or result in malfunctions.
ENGLISH - 15
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
rDo not use the projector with the connecting terminal side up.
Using the projector at an angle that exceeds the available angle of 210° may result in malfunctions. If setting up the projector
at an angle that exceeds 210° is required, consult your dealer.

Cautions on use
rTo get a good picture quality
f In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. 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.
rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected onto
the screen.
rDLP chips
f The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that
such phenomena does not indicate malfunction.
f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP chips.
rLight source
The light source of the projector uses LED and lasers, and has the following characteristics.
f The luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The runtime until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half differs depending on the setting of the
[PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [LIGHT POWER]. It is approximately 27 000 hours when [LIGHT
POWER] is set to [NORMAL], approximately 61 000 hours when set to [ECO1], and approximately 87 000 hours when set
to [ECO2]. These hours are the estimated durations when the projector is used without change in the setting of [LIGHT
POWER], and these vary depending on individual differences and usage conditions. The runtime is not the warranty time.
If the light source goes off or the brightness reduces noticeably, ask your dealer about replacement of the light source unit.
rComputer and external device connections
f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and
shielded cables as well.
f When inputting digital signals to the <DVI-I IN> terminal, use a commercially available cable with a ferrite core.
rViewing 3D images
The projector can display 3D image signals that are input through various systems such as “frame packing” and “side by side”.
You need to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which are
compatible with your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, see the instruction manuals of external
devices you use. Connections vary depending on your 3D system.
Refer to “List of 3D compatible signals” (x page 135) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projector.

Chapter 2 Getting Started — Connecting
Connecting
Before connecting
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static
electricity from your body before performing work.
g Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the
more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
g When connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
f Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is either not supplied with the device or not
available as an option.
f If video signals from AV equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may randomly wobble or waver. In this case, a time
base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
f The projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
f Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
f Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
f Refer to “List of compatible signals” (x page 133) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector.
