image of 16:9 aspect ratio (i.e., output size 848⳯480) is projected to fill a screen width of 4:3 aspect ratio.

Determine the screen size after checking the height and width of the room in which the screen will be installed as well as checking that there are no obstacles located in the path between the lens and the screen.

* The larger the screen size becomes, the darker the image will be.

Placing the projector to the rear of the screen to project the image will require the use of a translucent type screen.

The height from the feet of the main unit to the center of the lens is 72 mm (2.8 inch).

The projection table is based on an aspect of 4:3 (i.e., the ratio of screen width to height).

* There is a tolerance of ±5% due to design values.

This projector uses an output size of 848⳯480 pixels for home theater applications and enables the projection of a high definition 16:9 aspect ratio. The 16:9 aspect ratios marked with a [*] in the above table are values with an output size of 848⳯480. When establishing a fixed installation, please exercise care since the projection distance will be shorter than that of the normal 16:9 aspect ratio (800⳯450 output size). Note that when an installation has been established to project a full screen at this setting, other input screens will be projected smaller than the screen size.

Note:

* Do not install in location that will reach high or low temperatures. [Operation temperature: within 5˚C (41˚F) to 35˚C (95˚F)] * To raise the projection screen position, place the unit on a stable and strong support. * Bright light that enters the remote control sensor may prevent proper remote control operation.

* Make efforts to ensure that sunlight or room illumination does not strike the screen. The more such extraneous light is shielded, the higher the contrast and more

attractive the image that will be obtained.

Adjustment of the Projection Screen

Operations include the adjustment of the image position that is projected to the screen and the adjustment of the focus as well as the input selection and the selection of the aspect ratio. Perform these operations with the power of the connected equipment switched on and the video signal input to the projector.

6 Projection Screen Position Adjustment

Adjust the projection image to the screen

(1) If the image is shifted to the left or right, move the main unit horizontally. (Align the center of the screen and the center of

the lens of the main unit.) (2) If the image is shifted vertically, move the image up or down with the adjuster. (3) A projection image such as that illustrated in the diagram is the result of the projector not being perpendicular to the

screen. Set the projector so that it is pointing straight toward the screen. (4) If the image shows keystone distortion, adjust using menu operations. → Page E-33 "Adjustment of Keystone Distortion"

Cleaning

Attention!

* Be certain to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning. * Do not spray or otherwise expose the projector, lens, or screen to volatile substances such as insecticides. Doing so

could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings may peel, etc.

Cleaning a Soiled Projector Main Unit

* Wipe with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth.

When very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been moistened with a diluted neutral detergent, then finish with a dry cloth. If a chemically-treated cloth is going to be used, please follow any written warnings.

* Do not wipe with thinner, benzene, or other solvents. Doing so could cause them to undergo qualitative changes or the coatings

may peel, etc.

* When removing the dust of the outflow and intake holes, use the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner to clean out the dust.

Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.

* Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will cause scratches.

Dirty Lens

The lens surface has been treated with a special coating. Consult your PLUS dealer for cleaning.

Dust of the Intake and Outflow Holes

Dust that collects in the intake and outflow holes will obstruct the ventilation and cause the internal temperature to rise which could cause damage. Clean this area carefully. As a guideline, clean at least every 100 hours.

* Switch off the power with the ON/STANDBY

button and check that the POWER/ indicator has changed to a steadily lit orange, then switch off the main power with the POWER switch of the main unit. Finally, disconnect the power cord.

* Clean out the holes from the outside using a

vacuum cleaner. Use the brush adapter of the vacuum cleaner to do this. Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter.
