Installation

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 perip heral equipment before turning the projector on. (See pages 15-17 for connection.)
CAUTION
