Important
Information
CAUTION:
POWER
When disconnecting the power cord, be sure to hold the power plug and power connector.
If the power cord itself is pulled, the lead will become damaged, and re, short-circuits or serious electric
shocks will result.
When not using the projector for an extended period of time, disconnect the power plug from the wall
outlet and remove the batteries from the remote control.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet before carrying out any cleaning and replacing the unit.

When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts.
Doing so may damage the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
Do not use under the following conditions.
Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may damage the internal parts
and result in malfunctions.
Near the exhaust of an air conditioner or near lights (studio lamps, etc.) where temperature changes greatly
(Operating environment Æpage 99): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the
outer case and malfunctions.
Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
Be sure to ask a specialized technician when installing the product to a
ceiling.

J
Qualied cable is required for DIGITAL LINK connection, be sure to consult
a specialized technician or your dealer.
Imperfect wiring may cause poor performance of cable transmission, such as distorted or choppy image and
sound.
J
The interface box may not work properly due to strong radiowave from the
broadcast station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radiowave, near the installation location, install the
interface box at a location sufciently far from the source of the radiowave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to
the <DIGITAL LINK> terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
J
When using the projector in the elevation of below 1 200 m (3 937 ft), make
sure [Fan control] is set to [Off].
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
J
When using the projector in the elevation of above 1 200 m (3 937 ft) and
below 2 000 m (6 562 ft), make sure [Fan control] is set to [On 1].
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfunctions.
J
When using the projector in the elevation of above 2 000 m (6 562 ft) and
below 2 700 m (8 858 ft), make sure [Fan control] is set to [On 2].

Important
Information
Disposal
When disposing of the product, ask your local authority or dealer about the correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authorities or dealer
about proper disposal of the unit.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions or your local disposal rule or guidelines.
Cautions on use
J

z
z
J
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected
onto the screen.
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, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air
conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen.
Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners ow
between the projector and the screen.
The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing may not
be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes and
longer.
Do not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hand
J
LCD Panel
The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of highprecision technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that
this is not a malfunction.
Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display
the all white screen in the test pattern for an hour or more.
J
Optical components
Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke
will reduce the service life of the optical components, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may
necessitate their replacement within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.
J
Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
z
The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
z
The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specicities and usage conditions. In particular,
z
continuous use over 12 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and
affect the lamp life.
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
z
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the
z
lamp unit consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (Æpage 82))
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
z
It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
z
It is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.
z
J
Avoidance of damage to connection terminal resulting from static electricity
Please pay attention to the following points when connecting the signal cable. Failure to do so may cause a
failure in the product.
When connecting the cable to the projector or to the external devices connected to the projector, touch a
z
metallic object in your vicinity to discharge any static electricity from your body before handling the cable.

Any other projection distance can be obtained according to the screen dimensions (m) using the following
calculations.
The calculated distance may contain a certain error.
If the screen dimensions are written as “SD",
Screen height (SH) = SD(m) × 0.6 = SD(m) × 0.490 = SD(m) × 0.530
Screen width (SW) = SD(m) × 0.8 = SD(m) × 0.872 = SD(m) × 0.848
Minimum distance (LW) = 0.11461 × SD(m) - 0.02936 = 0.10402 × SD(m) - 0.02936 = 0.10122 × SD(m) - 0.02936
Maximum distance (LT) = 0.18465 × SD(m) - 0.03190 = 0.16764 × SD(m) - 0.03190 = 0.16311 × SD(m) - 0.03190

Connections
Before connecting to the projector
z
Read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected.
z
Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
z
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
z
Video 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.
z
The projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. Level) and
digital signal.
z
Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
z
When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image
will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.
