1. Introduction

Introduction to the Projector

This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.

Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector

This projector is one of the very best projectors available today. The projector enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Mac computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player, or document camera.

You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen, and the projector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The remote control can be used wirelessly.

*1 Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself.

The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.

Features you’ll enjoy:

•Quick start (3 seconds*2), Quick Power Off, Direct Power Off

3 seconds*2 after turning on the power, the projector is ready to display PC or video images.

The projector can be put away immediately after the projector is powered down. No cool down period is required after the projector is turned off from the remote control or cabinet control panel.

The projector has a feature called “Direct Power Off”. This feature allows the projector to be turned off (even when projecting an image) by using the Main Power Switch or disconnecting the AC power supply.

To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.
