Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical design we
have developed a geometric effect that increases the light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we can better reproduce
the three basic colors (RGB) required for color reproduction on a single
DMD. This means superior brightness, smaller size, and lighter weight.
• Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual
pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear reproduction of
small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference
in quality!
• Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors when
reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality data/video
sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays.
DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the true image
display quality of the unit.
• Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to
the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of
vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of vision,
image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the keystone correction
function.
• (U3-1100WZ, U3-1100W, U3-1100SF)
Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using advanced

The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or XGA
(eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their
local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By
turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit
more like the real VESA or XGA signal.
(U3-810WZ, U3-810W, U3-810SF)
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or VGA (Video
Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local
LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By turning off
your notebook display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the
real VESA or VGA signal.
Outputting Notebook Type Personal
Computer External Output Signals
When a notebook type personal computer is connected for use in
projecting, a certain amount of knowledge is necessary for cable
connection, startup and the succeeding operations. Please refer to
the instruction manual of your notebook type personal computer
when performing the following operations.
1. Make sure that this device is receiving signals
from your notebook type personal computer.
The external signal may not be output even though the LCD
screen of the notebook type personal computer indicates such
output. Check by using the INFORMATION menu displayed
by this device (page 20, 21).
If 0kHz is displayed, there is no external output signal from the
personal computer.
2. If the notebook type personal computer is not
outputting the external signal, perform the following operation.
For IBM PC/AT machines, press either the [Fn] key or one of
the [F1] - [F12] keys.

Adjusting the projected image from
the computer
The unit selects the most suitable resolutions as shown in the “Timing Chart” below according to the incoming signals from the RGB/YCbCr
connector. However, you may need manual adjustment depending on the computer. If you have any vertical banding, noise, dot interference,
or crosstalk on the projected picture, adjust the clock frequency with “PICTURE ADJ” then the clock phase with “FINE PICTURE” (see page
24). You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the image (see page 24).
When adjusting manually, you can choose to project the image at the original size of the incoming signal resolution (see page 27). (Normally,
the image is enlarged or reduced to the most suitable size automatically.)
(U3-1100WZ, U3-1100W, U3-1100SF)
The resolution of the unit is 1024 × 768. Other resolution images (e.g. 1280 × 1024) are compressed into 1024 × 768. In such a case, projected letters
and lines might appear unevenly.
(U3-810WZ, U3-810W, U3-810SF)
The resolution of the unit is 800 × 600. Other resolution images (e.g. 1024 × 768) are compressed into 800 × 600. In such a case, projected letters

Troubleshooting
Please check the following before requesting repairs.
Symptom
The power will not turn on.
No image
Distorted images
Procedure
• Is the power plug connected to the power outlet?
• Is the lamp cover correctly installed?
• Is the internal temperature too high? A protective feature prevents the
power turning on when the internal temperature is too high.
• Has the lamp usage time exceeded 1100 hours? The power will not turn
on when 1100 hours have elapsed.
• Any high-tension noise to the power line with extremely high pulse can
stop the projector. If it happens, unplug the power cord from the outlet
once and then plug it again.
• Has the connected input been selected?
• Is the cable correctly connected to the input jack?
•Are the brightness and contrast set to minimum?
• Is the sliding lens cap closed?
• Is the lamp blown?
•Has the lamp usage time exceeded 1100 hours?
• If a notebook type computer is being used, was the computer power turned
on after the projector was connected? Is the computer set to disable output to the external RGB jack?
In many cases, when a notebook type computer is connected to the projector, a signal will not be output to the RGB OUT jack unless the computer power is turned on.
• Does the STATUS indicator blink?
• Is installation correct?
•Was the Keystone adjustment performed correctly?

The STATUS indicator blinks
• Is the lens properly focused?
•Are the screen and projector positioned at the correct angle?
• Does the projection distance place the screen outside the focus range?
• Is there condensation, dirt, etc., on the lens?
Condensation on the internal optical system is possible when the projector has been stored in a cool place and then is used in a warm place. In
such cases, wait several minutes for the condensation to evaporate.
• Correctly adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the screen.
• Is the clock frequency correctly adjusted?
•Are the resolution and frequency correct for the input signal? Check the
resolution of the personal computer.
• Does the send indicator (LED) light? If it does not light, the batteries are
exhausted. In such cases, replace with fresh batteries.
• Is there any obstacle between the remote control and the photoreceptor
of the main unit?
• Is the remote control being used outside its effective range?
• Is there a fluorescent light or other strong light source close to the photoreceptor?
• Is the MOUSE jack of the main unit and the personal computer correctly
connected?
•Was the personal computer started after being connected to the MOUSE
jack of the main unit?
• Check the STATUS indicator list.

Replacing the lamp cartridge
The rated lamp life is about 1,000 hours. The rated lamp life is the average
life of the lamps produced and tested (under the test conditions of our
company) for a long term, however, it may become shorter depending on
the conditions of usage.
After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours or longer, the STATUS
indicator on the control panel will light and the “LAMP USAGE” icon
which shows hours of total lamp usage will be displayed on the screen.
When this happens, turn off the unit and replace the lamp cartridge with a
new one. The unit will not turn on after 1100 hours. (It will go off if it is in
use.)
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been
used. It will be extremely hot. Allow at least one hour for the
lamp to cool before handling.
• DO NOT LOOSEN ANY SCREWS except for those mentioned in the instructions below. There is danger of electric
shock.
