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.

JJOptical 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.

JJLamp

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” (Æpage 80))

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.

zzIt is recommended to have authorized engineer or your dealer replace the lamp unit.

Operation Basic

Powering ON/OFF

Turning Off the Projector

1111	Press the			> button on the control panel or
	on the remote control, and Power off? appears
	on the screen			Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.
2222	Press the			> button again to turn off the
	projector. The <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> indicator
	starts to blink orange, and the cooling fans keep
	running. At this time, you can unplug the AC
	power cord even if the fans are still running.
3333	When the projector has cooled down enough, the
	<ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> indicator stops blinking
	and you can turn on the projector.

Note

zzDo not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled enough.

zzWhile the <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> indicator is blinking, the lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait until the <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> indicator stops blinking to turn on the projector again.

zzThe projector can be turned on after the <ON(G)/ STANDBY(R)> indicator turns red. The waiting time to restart will be shortened when the normal power-off processing for fan cooling is completed, compared with the time the AC power cord is immediately unplugged after the power off.

JJDirect Power Off function

You can disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or turn off the breaker even during projection

without pressing the			> button.

Note

zzWhen using the Direct power Off function, you can not restart the projector immediately after the power is disconnected. The lamp remains high temperature and needs to be cooled, so it sometimes takes longer time than usual for the lamp to light up again.
