IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY NOTES (for USA)
Ë Service work should be performed only by qualified service technicians who are
thoroughly familiar with all safety checks and servicing guidelines as follows:
WARNING
1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit
should be attempted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.
BEFORE RETURNING THE PROJECTOR:
(Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the projector to the user, perform
the following safety checks:
1. Inspect lead wires are not pinched between the
chassis and other metal parts of the projector.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields,
isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical
insulators, etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
current leakage in the following manner:
» Plug the AC cord directly into a 120-volt AC outlet,
(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).
» Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt
resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in parallel
between all exposed metal cabinet parts and earth
ground.
» Use an AC voltmeter with sensitivity of 5000 ohm per
volt., or higher, sensitivity to measure the AC voltage
drop across the resistor (See Diagram).
» All checks must be repeated with the AC plug
connection reversed. (If necessary , a non-polarized
adapter plug must be used only for the purpose of
completing these checks.)
Any reading of 0.3 volts RMS (this corresponds to
0.2 milliamp. AC.) or more is excessive and indicates
a potential shock hazard which must be corrected
before returning the unit to the owner.
Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD Projector
have special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual
inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be
necessarily increased by using replacement components
rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical
components having such features are identified by “å”
and shaded areas in the Replacement Parts Lists and
Schematic Diagrams. For continued protection,
replacement parts must be identical to those used in the
original circuit. The use of a substitute replacement parts
which do not have the same safety characteristics as
the factory recommended replacement parts shown in
this service manual, may create shock, fire or other
hazards.
AVIS POUR LA SECURITE
De nombreuses pièces, électriques et mécaniques, dans
les projecteur à LCD présentent des caractéristiques
spéciales relatives à la sécurité, qui ne sont souvent
pas évidentes à vue.
Le degré de protection ne peut pas être nécessairement
augmentée en utilisant des pièces de remplacement
étalonnées pour haute tension, puissance, etc.
Les pièces de remplacement qui présentent ces
caractéristiques sont identifiées dans ce manuel;
les pièces électriques qui présentent ces particularités
sont identifiées par la marque “å” et hachurées dans la
liste des pièces de remplacement et les diagrammes
schématiques. Pour assurer la protection, ces pièces
doivent être identiques à celles utilisées dans le circuit
d’origine. L’utilisation de pièces qui n’ont pas les mêmes
caractéristiques que les pièces recommandées par
l’usine, indiquées dans ce manuel, peut provoquer des
électrocutions, incendies ou autres accidents.
WARNING: The bimetallic component has the primary
conductive side exposed. Be very careful in
handling this component when the power is on.
AVERTISSEMENT: La composante bimétallique dispose du
conducteur primaire dénudé. Faire
attention lors de la manipulation de cette

Pour votre sécurité, nous vous prions de respecter
les points suivants:
1. Toujours porter des lunettes de soleil lors d’un

Lamp Precautions
1. Be sure to disconnect the AC plug when replacing
the lamp.
2. Allow one hour for the unit to cool down before
servicing.
3. Replace only with same type lamp. Type BQCPGC20X//1 rated 79V/150W.
4. The lamp emits small amounts of UV-Radiation, avoid
direct-eye contact.
5. The medium pressure lamp involves a risk of
explosion. Be sure to follow installation instructions
described below and handle the lamp with care.
3. Ne pas faire fonctionner plus de 2 heures avec le
coffret retiré.
Précautions pour les radiations UV
et la lampe moyenne pression
1. Toujours débrancher la fiche AC lors du

Lamp Replacement
Note:
Since the lamp reaches a very high temperature
during units operation replacement of the lamp
should be done at least one hour after the power
has been turned off. (to allow the lamp to cool off.)
Installing the new lamp, make sure not to touch the
lamp (bulb) replace the lamp by holding its reflector

Remarque:
Comme la lampe devient très chaude pendant le
fonctionnement de l’unité, son remplacement ne doit
être effectué au moins une heure après avoir coupé
l’alimentation (pour permettre à la lampe de refroidir).

the lamp. The lamp's total operating time can be checked on the screen. If noticeable color irregularities are
found after replacing the lamp, make the color irregularity correction on page 21.

Adjusting the mirrors
This adjustment is needed when any of the optical parts of the optical mechanism has been replaced.
1. Disconnect the flat cables from all the LCD panels.
2. Light up the lamp.
3. Project a white-light image and check to see if there is any color tint in any direction. If any , loosen the incident-light
fly-eye adjusting plate lock screws and readjust the fly-eye to get the image uniformly whitish. Tighten up the lock
screws.
4. If by any chance the above step 3 fails, use the M1, M4 and M5 adjusting levers.
5. Before moving the M5 adjusting lever, shield the G and B color beams. (For shielding them, use reflective sheets
that reflect the incident lights.)
6. Loosen the adjusting lever lock screws, make adjustments, and tighten up the lock screws.
7. Before moving the M4 adjusting lever, shield the R and G color beams.

Correcting color irregularities on white-only screen when replacing the lamp
If color irregularities are found at the right and left on a white-only screen after replacing the lamp, it is necessary to
readjust the optical axis of the new lamp. Take the following steps.
1. Open the lamp cover and loosen the screws A, B and C at the bottom of the lamp.
2. Using a screwdriver or the like, move the U-shaped groove at the window D in the arrow direction.
3. Temporarily fix the screws A, B and C, close the lamp cover, and check the white-only screen again for color
irregularities.
4. Repeat the above steps 1, 2 and 3 until there will be no color irregularities. Now tighten up the screws A, B and C.
5. Finally secure the lamp cover back in position.

Replacing the prism holder unit
1. Remove the three lock screws, and take the prism holder unit and the projection lens assembly out of the optical
unit.
2. Remove the four lock screws, separate the prism holder unit and the projection lens assembly from each other.
3. Replace the prism holder unit with new one. Take the above steps 1 and 2 in reverse order.
Note: Even if just one of the LCD panels is defective, it is necessary to replace the entire prism holder unit. Do not
replace just the defective LCD panel only.

ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENT
Hook up a signal generator, or a DOSV or Mac personal computer to the projector in order to feed the
signals specified in the Adjusting conditions.
ADJUSTMENT PRECAUTIONS
1 Precautions for initializing
It takes 5 seconds to get the memory initialized and the initial settings rewritten. T o go through the initialization, the
onscreen display background on the process menu screen turns red and the message "INITIALIZE" appears
onscreen for 5 seconds after pressing the specified key. Finally turn off the AC power (unplug the power cord).
2 Initial factory settings (S4, S5)
It takes 5 seconds to get the initial factory settings written. Do not turn off the main power during this procedure. To
ensure this waiting time, "S4" or "S5" appears on the onscreen display for 5 seconds. When this sign disappears,
you can keep on the power or turn it off.
3 Video adjustment
Be careful not to cut off the signals during the video adjustment.
1. Turn on the power (with the
lamp on) and warm up the
set for 15 minutes.
