If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected
onto the screen.
J
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.
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.
LCD Panel
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 78))
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.

If there are any obstacles between the remote control
z
and the remote control signal receiver, the remote control
may not operate correctly.
You can operate the projector by reecting the remote
z
control signal on the screen. The operating range may
differ due to the loss of light caused by the properties of
the screen.
When the remote control signal receiver is lit with a

Preparation
Setting Remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each
projector individually using single remote control, if unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set the same ID number to the remote control.
There are 7 different ID codes (ALL, Code 1~Code 6), the initial ID number is [ALL].
Open the cover1 ) Install batteries and close the cover2 )
z
(Insert the – side rst.)
Remove the batteries in the reverse order of
installation.
J
Setting the ID number
1) While holding down the <MENU> button, press the <IMAGE> button. The number of times you press
the <IMAGE> button corresponds to the desired ID code number.
The number of times to press the <IMAGE> button is as follows:
Code 1= Once, Code 2= Twice, Code 3= 3 times, Code 4= 4 times
Code 5= 5 times, Code 6= 6 times.
2) The ID code is changed when the <MENU> button is released.
J
Resetting the ID number
The ID code is reset to [ALL] (default) by pressing the <MENU> button and <IMAGE> button at the same
time for 5 seconds or more.
Attention
z
If the <IMAGE> button is pressed 7 times or more, the ID code
cannot be changed (the operation is invalid).

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.
