ENGLISH - 15

Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use

Cautions on use

rrTo get a good picture quality

ffDraw 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.

ffDepending 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 flow between the projector and the screen.

ffThe 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.

rrDo not touch the surface of the projector lens with your bare hands.

If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.

Attach the supplied lens cap to the projection lens when you do not use the projector.

rrLCD Panel

The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of high-precision 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.

rrOptical 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.

rrLamp

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

ffThe brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.

ffThe lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.

ffThe 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.

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

ffThe 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 97))

ffIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke. ffIt is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.

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

Chapter 2 Getting Started - Connecting

Connecting

Before connecting to the projector

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

ffTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.

-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.

-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.

-When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.

ffIf 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.

ffVideo 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.

ffThe projector accepts video signals, S-video signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signal.

ffSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.

ffWhen 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.

ffFor details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (Æpages 107-108)
