Safety Precaution
WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens. Do not stare directly into the lens, otherwise eye
damage could result. Be especially careful that children do
not stare directly into the beam.
Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may
result in a fire hazard.
Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,
and rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper
air circulation and cooling of the unit. The diagrams
shown here indicates the minimum space required. If
the projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, these minimum distances must be maintained.
Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat
build-up can reduce the service life of your projector, and
can also be dangerous.
If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the
projector from the power outlet.
Do not project the same image for a long time. The
afterimage may remain on the LCD panels by the
characteristic of panel.
CAUTION ON HANGING FROM THE CEILING
DO NOT SET THE PROjECTOR IN GREASy, WET,
OR SMOKy CONDITIONS SUCH AS IN A KITCHEN
TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF
THE PROjECTOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH OIL OR
CHEMICALS, IT MAy BECOME DETERIORATED.

cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.
Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of air-
conditioning equipment.
This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord
may be damaged by persons walking on it.

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the projector to normal operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.

Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered.
CAUTION
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. When using or
installing the projector, the following precautions should be
taken.
Do not put any flammable object or spray can near the
projector, hot air is exhausted from the air vents.
Keep the exhaust vent at least 3’ (1 m) away from any
objects.
Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent,
especially screws and metallic parts. These areas will
become hot while the projector is being used.
Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put on the
cabinet will not only get damaged but also may cause
fire hazard by heat.
Cooling fans are provided to cool down the projector.
The fans’ running speed is changed according to the
temperature inside the projector.
Exhaust Vent
(Hot air exhaust)
Air Intake Vent
Air flow
The projector uses a lamp which generates significant
heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to
dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and the
filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust from
getting inside of the projector.
In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular
cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has
accumulated on the projector.
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting, a
Filter replacement icon (Fig. 1) appears on the screen and
WARNING FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up (see
below), indicating that the filter replacement is necessary.
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and
no scroll is left in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge
replacement icon (Fig. 2) appears on the screen and
WARNING FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up (see
below). Stop using the projector immediately and replace
the filter cartridge.
Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector uncleaned
for a long time may not only damage the projector and may
require costly repairs but may also cause accidents or fire.
For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter” on
page 62 and “Maintenance and Care” on pages 63-65.
Damages to the projector caused by using an
uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will void the
warranty on the projector.

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
on the projector.

Basic Operation
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 a
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 page 59-60 for locking operation
of the projector with your PIN code.
CAUTION ON HANDLING 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 84 of
this manual and keep it on hand. Should the PIN code
be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service
center.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the
STAND-BY button on the remote control, and Power off?
appears on the screen.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU
TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST FIVE
MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD WHILE
COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE THE
POWER INDICATOR LIGHTS GREEN AGAIN.
OTHERWISE IT WILL RESULT IN SHORTENING OF
THE LAMP LIFE.
3
When the projector has cooled down enough, the POWER
indicator lights green and then you can turn on the projector.
To unplug the AC power cord, wait until the projector is
completely cooled down.
Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.
Note:
• When the On start function is set to On, the projector
will be turned on automatically by connecting the AC
power cord to an AC outlet (p.58).
• 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 TEMP. indicator blinks red, see
“Warning Indicators” on page 69.
• The projector cannot be turned on during the cooling
period with the POWER indicator turned off. You can
turn it on again after the POWER indicator becomes
green again.
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.
