Owner's Manual

TO THE OWNER

As the owner of a new Multimedia Projector, you are probably eager to try out your new projector. Before you do, we suggest that your spend a little time reading this manual to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures, so that you will receive maximum satisfaction from the many features included in your new projector.

This owner's manual will acquaint you with your projector's features. Reading it will help us too. Through the years, we have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our projectors. They were caused by problems that could have been prevented, if the owner had followed the instructions in the manual.

You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your projector fails to work properly, see "TROUBLESHOOTING" section on pages 36 ~ 37 and try the solution marked for each problem.
