AC Power Cord for the United States and Canada:

AC Power Cord used in the United States and Canada is listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and certified by the Canadian Standard Association (CSA).

AC Power Cord has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the plug will fit into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature. Should you be unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician.

AC Power Cord for the United Kingdom:

This cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating, marked thus ASA . If the fuse cover is detachable, never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available from the Parts Department indicated in your User Instructions.

If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed. The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted.

WARNING: A PLUG WITH BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED IN A LIVE SOCKET OUTLET..

The Wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green-and-yellow ············ Earth Blue ································· Neutral Brown ······························ Live

Connecting the AC Power Cord

This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 V or 200–240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct

input voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of power system.

If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult your authorized dealer or service station. Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning it on.

CAUTION

The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily accessible.

Note:

Unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not in use. When the projector is connected to an outlet with the AC power cord, it is in stand-by mode and consumes a little electric power.

Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the projector.

NOTE ON THE POWER CORD

AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector. Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used. If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

Basic Operation

Turning On the Projector

1	Complete peripheral connections (with a computer,
	VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.
2	Connect the projector’s AC power cord into an AC
	outlet. The POWER indicator turns red. Open the lens
	cover.
3	Press the POWER ON/STAND-BY button on the
	remote control. The POWER indicator becomes green
	and the cooling fans start to operate. The preparation
	display appears on the screen and the count down
	starts.
4	After the countdown, the input source that was

selected the last time and the Lamp control status icon (see page 46) will appear on the screen.

If the projector is locked with a PIN code, a PIN code Input Dialog Box appears. Enter the PIN code as instructed below.

Enter a PIN code

Select a number by pressing the Point ▲▼ buttons, and then press the Point ► button to fix the number and move the pointer. The number changes to "". If you fixed an incorrect number, move the pointer to the number you want to correct by pressing the Point ► button, and then select the correct number by pressing the Point ▲▼buttons.

Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number. "1234" is set as the initial PIN code at the factory.

After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to

"Set" by pressing the Point ► button. Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.

If you entered an incorrect PIN code, "PIN code" and the number () turns red. Enter the correct PIN code all over again.

What is PIN code?

PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting the PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 47–48 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

CAUTION ON HANDLING THE PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Take a special care in setting a new PIN code; write down the number in a column on page 68 of this manual and keep it on hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

Basic Operation

Turning Off the Projector

1	Press the POWER ON/STAND-BY button on the
	remote control, and “Power off?” appears on the
	screen.
2	Press the POWER ON/STAND-BY button again to turn
	off the projector. The POWER indicator starts to blink
	red, and the cooling fans keep running. (You can select
	the level of the fans’ quietness and running speed. See
	page 49.) At this time you can unplug the AC power
	cord even if the fans are still running.
3	When the projector has cooled down enough to be
	turned on again, the POWER indicator stops blinking.

TO MAINTAIN THE LAMP LIFE, ONCE YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.

DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST. CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.

Note:

•When the On start function is “On,” this projector is turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC outlet (p. 46).

•The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the temperature inside the projector.

•Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled enough.

•If the WARNING indicator blinks or emits a red light, see “Warning Indicator” on page 51.

•While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait until the POWER indicator stops blinking to turn on the projector again.

•The fan rotation will terminate directly if the AC power cord is unplugged immediately after the projector is turned off.

•The projector can be turned on after the POWER indicator turns red. The waiting time to restart will be shortened when the normal power-off processing for fan cooling is completed, compared with the time the AC power cord is immediately unplugged after the power-off.

Power off?

“Power off” disappears after 4 seconds.
