Features

• Newly developed LVDS (Low voltage differential signal) chip eliminates Color Breaking phe­nomena common with previous generation DLPTM projectors

• Use of high-output lamp realizes both high color purity and high brightness. Natural images
made possible by high color reproducibility can be created with high-brightness, powerful
expression capabilities

• Realizes vivid images using the latest image quality circuitry

• New I/P conversion algorithm enhances the performance of the motion detect I/P conversion

• Extensive improvements on the jagged edges or slanted lines in moving images

• New Edge Up-Scaling

• As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines,
even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480i/p can be projected by converting them to
1280x720 resolution images

• New Film Mode Function

• 3:2 pull down enhancement for not only 480i and 576i signals, but HDTV 1080i signals as well

• White balance

• Use of a DVI-HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and projec­tion to be performed digitally, resulting in the realization of all-digital projection without any
data loss due to analog conversion. This is also supports the building of home theaters using
HTPC

Adjustable Leveling Foot

Use the adjustable foot to level the projector
when it is placed on an uneven surface or
when the screen is slanted.

The projected image can be made higher by
adjusting the projector when it is lower than
the screen.

Hold the projector firmly and screw the

1

adjustable foot to adjust the projector
to the desired angle.

Lift the projector to the desired angle

2

and screw the adjustable foot to fix the
level.

• If the screen is at an angle, the adjustable

feet can be used to alter the angle of the
image.

Notes

• The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5-degrees from the standard position.

• When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on

the relative positions of the projector and the screen. See “Layout Menu” on page 25 for details on
keystone correction.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an
optimal image.

Notes

• The projector lens should be perpendicular (square-on) to the screen. If the horizontal line passing

through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing
difficult.

• For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling
directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close curtains and dim the lights
when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

 Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See

page 16)

About the Lamp

The projector lamp has a life span of approximately 3000 hours. Maintain proper ventilation to
keep the lamp operating throughout its lifetime. Do not subject the projector to unnecessary
vibrations to ensure that the lamp does not break.

 It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 3,000 cumulative hours

of use or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The number of hours
the lamp has been used can be checked with “Lamp Timer” in the “Options” menu on the menu screen.

 For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest authorized service center or dealer.
 The actual lamp service life may be less than 3000 hours depending on the environment in which the

projector is used.

Caution Concerning the Lamp

 This projector uses a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure is

caused by excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to usage.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and
the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

 When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated or are flashing, it is

recommended that the lamp be replaced immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.

 If the lamp breaks, glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be

vented into the room from the exhaust vent. As the gas in this lamp contains mercury, ventilate the room
well if the lamp breaks and avoid exposure. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as
possible.

 If the lamp breaks, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside the projector.

If this happens, it is recommended you contact your nearest authorized dealer to remove the damaged
lamp and assure safe operation.

Replacing the Lamp

CAUTION! Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The
lamp will be hot and touching it may cause injury. Wait at least one hour after the power cord
is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing.

Temperature LED (Temperature Overheat Alarm)

The temperature LED acts as an alarm to alert you when the
projector lamp becomes too hot.

If the LED illuminates during operation, the lamp shuts off and
the cooling fan continues to run for approximately two minutes.
You should ensure that the airflow around the projector is
sufficient and that the cooling fan intake vent is not clogged to
ensure that the projector has proper ventilation.

Please pay attention that the cooling fan and intake vent are
not clogged. Please see “Projector (Front and Top View)” on
page 3 for their location.

Notes

•

This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD)
mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data
in “CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s
operation manual.

• When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.

• When projecting video images of an interlaced video signal, the intended image may not be projected

when using the RBG input. In such cases, use the component input, S-video input or video input.
