Introduction
Copyrights to Images
When projecting images using the projector, be careful not to infringe the copyright of protected
materials.
The following are examples that may infringe the copyright of protected materials.
• Broadcasting images or movies for commercial purposes
• Modifying images or movies using functions such as freeze, magnify, or zoom to broadcast images
for commercial purposes or public viewing
• Varying the aspect ratio of images or movies using a function that changes the screen size to
broadcast images for commercial purposes or public viewing
Important
In no event will the company be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
as a result of handling or operating the machine.
The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of
parts other than genuine parts from the manufacturer with your office products.
Notes to Users Viewing 3D Images
Pay attention to the following points when viewing images using 3D glasses with the projector:
• You need 3D glasses to view 3D images. The projector uses DLP Link technology to synchronize
with 3D glasses. You need to use the optional 3D glasses that support DLP Link (PJ 3D Glasses
Type 2).
• How 3D images are viewed may vary according to the individual.
• Do not use 3D glasses for viewing any material other than 3D images.
• Before viewing 3D images, make sure to read the manuals provided with your 3D glasses and 3D
compatible content.
• Avoid viewing 3D images for a long period of time. Take a break of 15 minutes or longer after
every hour of viewing.
• If you feel sick while viewing 3D images, stop viewing them. If you continue to feel sick, consult a
doctor.
4
• When viewing 3D images in a room where an LED lighting system or fluorescent lights are used,
you may feel that the light in the room flickers. If this is the case, dim the lights until you do not
notice any flickers, or turn off the lights.
• If you or any member of your family has a history of light-sensitive seizures, consult a doctor before
viewing 3D images.
• To view 3D images, sit in front of the screen so that your eyes are parallel and level with the screen.
• Viewing 3D images from a place that is too close to the screen may result in eye strain. The
distance between the screen and you should be at least three times the height of the screen.
• Adult supervision is required for children using 3D glasses.
• Viewing 3D images is not recommended for children under 6 years old. It may negatively affect
development of their vision. Consult a doctor before using 3D glasses.

1. Preparations for Using the Projector
This chapter explains the names and functions of the different parts of the projector and remote control,
and how to use them. It also explains how to position the projector and how to connect it to other
equipment.
Precautions for Using the Projector
• Do not use any power sources other than those that match the specifications shown in this
manual. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances.
Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric
shock.
• Do not look into the projection window or vent when the machine is on. The bright light may
damage your eyes. Be especially careful in an environment with children.
• Do not place low heat resistant material near the exhaust vents. Hot air may come from the
exhaust vents, resulting in damage to the machine or an accident.
• Do not place the power cord and connection cable in a way that might cause someone to trip
and fall. The machine might fall over and cause an injury.
• Push the power plug all the way into the power outlet. Do not use a power outlet with a loose
connection. Doing so may result in heat buildup. Plug the power cord in the correct direction
into the base. If they are not plugged in correctly, it could result in smoke, fire, or electric shock.
9
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord.
Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire
or electric shock.
• Do not block the projection light when it is on. If you do so, the part that is blocking the
projection light may get quite hot and deform, deteriorate or cause a burn or fire. The reflected
light may make the projection window hot and cause a machine failure. To temporarily
suspend projection, select the AV mute function. To suspend longer, turn off the machine.
• Do not increase the volume unless you are listening while increasing the volume. Also, lower
the volume before turning off the power, because a loud sound may be emitted when the
power is turned on and cause hearing damage.
• Power Source
• (mainly Europe and Asia)
220–240 V, 1.7 A or more, 50/60Hz
• (mainly North America)
120 V, 3.7 A or more, 60Hz
Please be sure to connect the power cord to a power source as above.
