IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY NOTES
n 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.
Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
2.
control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields,
isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical
insulators, etc.
To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
3.
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 Sk ohm, 10 watt
resistor paralleled by a 0.15yF 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.

SAFETY NOTICE
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 “8”
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 pieces, electriques et mecaniques,
dans les projecteur a LCD presentent des
caracteristiques speciales relatives a la securite, qui
ne sont souvent pas evidentes a vue.
Le degre de protection ne peut pas Qtre necessairement

Inserting the batteries
1. Press in and downward on the arrow mark (v)
and remove the battery cover.
2. Insert four AA size batteries making sure their
polarities match the + and - marks inside the
battery compartment.
3. Insert the side tabs of the battery cover into their
slots and press in the cover until properly seated.
Incorrect use of batteries may cause them to leak or burst.
Insert the batteries with the + and - polarities as indicated.
Do not mix different brands of batteries. The life expectancy of the new batteries will be shortened and the old
batteries may leak.
Maintain the batteries in clean condition.
Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be
used for an extended period of time.
When the batteries have been used up, remove them
immediately to prevent leakage and damage. Leaked
battery fluid may irritate the skin. Remove any battery
fluid by wiping with a cloth.
Due to storage conditions and the shelf life of the supplied batteries, they may run out after a short time.
Should this occur, replace them with new batteries as
soon as possible.

The unit is designed to keep its power off when the lamp has been used for 1400 and 1500
hours. This is to protect the lamp fixture. Replace the lamp with new one and take the following
resetting procedure.
Resetting the lamp operating timer
1. Hold down the “ADJ.W’ and “VOLUME@” buttons on the unit, and turn on the main power switch (located

CONVERGENCE AND FOCUS ADJUSTMENT
l Start the convergence and focus adjustments with the top cabinet and the signal
shield removed but the power on. Use the remote control to adjust the image. Take the
following procedures.
1. Focusing the projection lens
(A) Replacing all the 3 LCD panels
1. Before replacing all the 3 LCD panels, project an image on the screen and bring it into focus.
2. Replace the panels with new ones. But until the focus has been completely readjusted, be careful not to
change the distance between the set and the screen, nor to move the projection lens focus and zoom
rings.
If the focus is readjusted with a different positional relation, the relation between the projection distance
and the screen size is affected. In other words, a short-distance image (40 WIDE, for example) may
get out of the focus range, or a long-distance image (300 WIDE, for example) may come out of focus.
(B) Replacing 1 or 2 of the 3 LCD panels
1. In adjusting the focus after replacement of one or two LCD panels, project an image on the screen and
turn the projection lens focus ring to get the non-replaced LCD panel into focus.
2. But until the focus has been completely adjusted for the new LCD panels, be careful not to change the
distance between the set and the screen, nor to move the projection lens focus and zoom rings.
(If the distance has been changed or the projection lens readjusted, repeat the above steps 1 and 2.)
2. Adjusting the G-LCD panel
(A) Focus adjustment. (Make this adjustment on the white-only screen.)
Loosen the lock screws “b” and “c” and insert the eccentric screwdriver into the notch and hole “b” or “c”.
Turn the screwdriver until the right and left halves on the screen get into focus.
First get the right and left halves in balance. Then improve the accuracy while making the adjustment
2 below.
2. Top-center-bottom focus adjustment (OX and Z directions).
Loosen the lock screws “a” and “b” and insert the eccentric screwdriver into the notch and hole “a”. Turn
the screwdriver until the top, center and bottom on the screen get into focus.
bottom focus, temporarily tighten the lock screw “b” to fix the 8Y direction adjustment.
3. Repeat the above steps 1 and 2 to finely adjust the focus. Finally tighten up all the lock screws.
Notes :
@ Carefully proceed with the focus adjustment because the adjusting directions are correlated.
@ In adjusting the convergence and focus, do not move the projection lens zoom and focus rings until the
end of all the adjustments.
(B) Convergence adjustment
l The G-LCD panel has no convergence adjustment mechanism. Use this panel as convergence adjustment
reference.
3. B-LCD panel adjustment (the same for the R-LCD panel)
(A) Focus adjustment
l Take the same procedure as for the G-LCD panel focus adjustment. Note that the adjustment range is
small in the Z direction. If the convergence is quite different between the B-LCD and G-LCD panels,
roughly adjust the convergence first and then the focus.
(B) Convergence adjustment
l Use a crosshatch pattern signal for this adjustment.
Make the adjustment just for the G-color and the relevant color.
Loosen the convergence lock screw “d”.

Notes :
The eccentric cam is used for convergence adjustment. This means that the cam’s turning and the linear
0
movement are not always uniform.
This model is not equipped with the LCD image adjustment mechanism. This is because the dichroic
0
prism is used for image formation. When the LCD panels all get into the best focus, the images are
almost completely converged.

Replacing the LCDs
With the top cabinet removed
(1) Remove three screws off the output shield.
(2) Disconnect the LCD flat cable from the output PWB connector.
(3) Remove the lock screws “b” and “c”. Detach the R/B adjusting plate or the G adjusting plate together with the
LCD panel.
(4) Separate the LCD panel from the adjusting plate.
(5) Mount a new LCD panel in the reverse order of the above steps (l), (2) (3) and (4).
* Readjust the convergence and focus. Note that the G LCD panel needs no convergence adjustment and has
a small adjustment range in the Z direction,
