Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations.

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you
select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a
suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and
the rest of your equipment.

1. Floor Front:

Select this location with the projector
placed near the floor in front of the screen.
This is the most common way to position
the projector for quick setup and
portability.

2. Ceiling Front:

Select this location with the projector
suspended from the ceiling in front of the
screen.

Purchase the original Projector Ceiling
Mount Kit from your dealer to mount your
projector on the ceiling.

*Set Ceiling Front after you turn the
projector on.

3. Floor Rear:

Select this location with the projector
placed near the floor behind the screen.

Note that a special rear projection screen
is required.

*Set Floor Rear after you turn the projector
on.

4. Ceiling Rear:

Select this location with the projector
suspended from the ceiling behind the
screen.

Note that a special rear projection screen
and the proper Projector Ceiling Mount Kit
are required for this installation location.

*Set Ceiling Rear after you turn the
projector on.

*To set the projector position:

1. Press MENU on the projector or remote control and then press / until the
System menu is highlighted.

2. Press / to highlight Projector Position and press / until the correct
position is selected.

Positioning your projector

11

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video
format each factors in the projected image size.

The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and
positioned directly perpendicular 90° right-angle square) to the screen. This prevents
image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). If
the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down.

If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size
increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.

When determining the positions of the screen and projector, you will need to account
for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly
proportional to the projection distance.

This projector is equipped with a movable lens. See "Shifting the projection lens" on

page 16 for details. You can see the diagrams on pages 14 and 15 for the vertical offset

values in the dimension tables that are measured when the lens is shifted fully up or
down.

How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size

1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen.

2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns
labelled "Screen dimensions". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find
the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled

"Average". This is the projection distance.

3. Decide the exact position of your projector according to the position of your screen
and the adjustable lens shift range.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch, 4:3-aspect-ratio screen, please refer to "The

screen aspect ratio is 4:3 and the projected picture is 16:9". The average projection

distance is 668 cm.

How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance

This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and
would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.

The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.

1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen.

2. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the
screen. This is the projection distance.

3. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average
distance from screen column labelled "Average". Check that your measured
distance is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average
distance value.

4. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen
diagonal listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that
projection distance.

12

Positioning your projector

For example, if you have a 16:9-aspect-ratio screen and your measured projection
distance was 4.5 m (450 cm), please refer to "The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the

projected picture is 16:9". The closest match in the "Average" column is 455 cm. Looking

across this row shows that a 100-inch screen is required.

Checking the min and max projection distance values in the columns of "Projection

distance <D> [cm]" on page 14 indicates that the 4.5 m measured projection distance

will also fit the 90 and 110-inch size screens. The projector can be adjusted (using the
zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes at the projection distance. Be
aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values.

If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to
tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image
distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting

picture distortion" on page 22 for details.

Preparations

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1. Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

2. Use only the correct type cables for each source with proper type plugs.

3. Ensure that all cable plugs are firmly fitted to the equipment jacks.

Note that all cables shown in the following connection diagrams may not be supplied with the projector
(See "Shipping contents" on page 5 for details). Most cables are commercially available from electronics
stores.

Connecting HDMI devices

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data
transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over
a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience. You should use
an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

Be sure to match the corresponding colors between the cables and the terminals. The
RCA type component video jacks are provided for connection to video output devices.
You should also connect the separate audio cable to a suitable audio amplifier.

Connecting S-Video or video devices

You need only connect S-Video or composite Video cable from the same device, never
both at the same time. You should also connect the separate audio cable to a suitable
audio amplifier.

• If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and the video
source device, you need not connect to this device again using an S-Video or composite Video
connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. You need
only connect using a composite Video connection if both Component Video and S-Video are not
supplied on the video source device (for example, with some analog video cameras).

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video
source has been selected, please check that the video source device is turned on and operating
correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Adjusting the projected image

Adjusting the projection angle

There are four adjuster feet on the bottom of the projector. These can be used if
necessary to change the projection angle. Screw the feet in or out as appropriate to
aim and level the projection angle.

If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes
vertical trapezoidal. To correct this problem, see "Correcting picture distortion" on page 22 for details.

Correcting picture distortion

Keystoning occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen and is where
the projected picture displays visible as a trapezoid shape like either of the following:

• Two parallel sides (left and right, or top and bottom) but is noticeably wider on either
side.

• No parallel sides.

To correct the picture’s shape, you can perform the following steps.

1. Adjust the projection angle. Move the projector to be in front of the center of the
screen with the center of the lens level with the screen.

2. If the picture is stilled distorted, or the projector is unable to be positioned as
described above, you will need to manually correct the picture.

• Using the remote control

i. Press one of the Arrow/Keystone keys on the remote control (Left / , Up / ,

Right / , Down / ) to display the Keystone page.

ii. See step iv below for further operation.

• Using the OSD menu

i. Press MENU and then press / until the Display

menu is highlighted.

ii. Press to highlight Keystone and press ENTER. The

Keystone page displays.

iii. Highlight 2D Keystone and press ENTER. The keystone

correction page displays.

iv. Press the key whose keystone icon is opposite to the

shape of the projected picture. Continue pressing the
same key or press the other keys until you are satisfied
with the shape.
The values on the lower portion of the page change
while pressing. When the values reach their maximum
or minimum with repeated key presses, the picture’s
shape will stop changing. You will not be able to
change the picture further in that direction.

Adjusting Brilliant Color

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and
system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while
providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. When set to

Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in
classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where
building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms,
lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color
management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color
reproduction, should you require it.

28

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible
viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a
set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not
provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide
you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted to favorite
colors. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its color range and
saturation according to your preference.

The "aspect ratio" is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Digital TV is usually
in 16:9 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and most analog TV signals and DVDs
are in 4:3 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can
dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the
image input source. Images can be stretched in a linear manner so the whole of the
image is stretched equally, or non-linearly, which distorts the image.

To change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect
the source is):

• Using the remote control

Press one of the aspect ratio keys to suit the format of the
video signal and your display requirements.

• Using the OSD menu

1. Press MENU and then press / until the Display menu is
highlighted.

2. Press to highlight Aspect Ratio.

3. Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of
the video signal and your display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

1. Anamorphic (ANA): Scales an image so that it is displayed
in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This
setting stretches and resizes linearly, except that it treats the
vertical and horizontal dimensions independently. It
stretches the height of the source image until it reaches the
full projected height, and stretches the width of the source
image until it reaches the full projected width. This may alter
the projected aspect, depending upon the original aspect
of the source image. Anamorphic is most suitable for
images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them
without aspect alteration.

2. 4:3: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of
the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3
pictures like computer monitors, standard definition TV and
4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect
alteration.

3. Letter Box (LB): Scales a picture to fit the projector’s native
resolution in its horizontal width and resize the picture’s
height to the 3/4 of the projection width. This may produce
a picture greater in height than can be displayed, so part
of the picture is lost (not displayed) along the top and
bottom edges of the projection. This is suitable for the
display of movies which are presented in letter box format
(with black bars on the top and bottom).

manner, that is, the edges of the picture are stretched more
than the center of the picture to prevent distortion of the
central part of the picture. This is suitable for occasions

height. Some widescreen movies have been produced with
their width squashed down to the width of a 4:3 aspect,
and are best viewed when restretched back to their original width using this setting.

5. Real: This setting displays the image in a one-to-one pixel
mapping without alteration or resize in the center of the
projection. This is most suitable for use with PC source inputs.

• The black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active
areas.

• OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.

Operating in a high altitude environment

We recommend that you activate High Altitude Mode when your environment is higher
than 1500 meters (around 4920 feet) above sea level, or whenever the projector will be
used for extended periods of time (>10 hours) without shutdown.

To activate High Altitude Mode:

1. Press MENU and then press / until the Setup menu is
highlighted.

2. Press to highlight High Altitude Mode.

3. Press / to select On. A confirmation message displays.

4. Highlight Yes and press ENTER.

Operation under High Altitude Mode may cause a higher
decibel operating noise level because of increased fan
speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and
performance.

If you use this projector under other extreme conditions
excluding the above, it may display auto shut-down
symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from
over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High
Altitude Mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is not
to state that this projector can operate under any and all
harsh or extreme conditions.

Additional information

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you have to do on a regular
basis is keep the lens clean. Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp.
Contact your dealer or local customer service center if the projector fails to operate as
expected.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Before you attempt to
clean the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several
minutes to cool completely.

1. Use a clean soft lens cloth to remove dust. (Available from building hardware or
photographic suppliers.)

2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a proper photographic lens brush or
moisten a clean soft lens cloth with lens cleaner to gently wipe the lens surface.

3. Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials
or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in
damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.

Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels can
damage the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning solution.
Do not attempt to clean the lens while the projector is switched on or is still hot from previous use.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you attempt to clean the case, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable,
and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

1. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

2. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral
detergent. Then wipe the case.

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Storing the projector

If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please:

1. Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the
recommended range for the projector. Please refer to the Spec. page in this manual
or consult your dealer about the range.

2. Retract the adjuster feet.

3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

4. Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

Getting to know the lamp hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of
lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer.
The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as
follows:

Equivalent lamp hour
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 3/2 (hours used in

Normal mode)

See "Setting Lamp Power as Economic" below for more information on
Economic mode.

To obtain the lamp hour information:

1. Press MENU and then press / until the Setup menu is
highlighted.

2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press ENTER. The
Lamp Settings page displays.

3. The lamp hour information is shown in the row of
Equivalent Lamp Hour.

4. To leave the menu, press MENU.

Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you
can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

• Setting Lamp Power as Economic

Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption. If the Economic
mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected
pictures.

Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp life. To set Economic
mode, go to the Setup > Lamp Settings > Lamp Power menu and press / .

• Setting Auto Off

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if
no input source is detected after a set period of time.

To set Auto Off, go to the System > Auto Off menu and press

/ to select a time period. The time period can be set from
5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time
lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable.
The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.

Replacement lamp

The projector does not require internal adjustment. There are no user serviceable parts
inside the projector. To replace the bulb or any other repairs, contact your local service
centre, whose engineers will be happy to efficiently solve any problem.

Accessibility Requirements for Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 508

Manufacture's commitment to accessible products allows us to support government in
making accessible technology choices manufacture's LCD monitors and projectors are
compliant with Section 508 guidelines by including the assistive features as below:

• Manufacture's monitors have colored "Power" indicators. While the indicator shows
green, it means that the monitor is using the full power. While the indicator shows
yellow or amber, it means that the monitor is in suspend or sleep mode and is using
less than 2 watts of electricity.

• Manufacture's monitors have a variety of settings of pre-programmed flicker-free
timing to make the screen shown on the monitor readily accessible. The default
timing setting is automatically turned on every time the monitor is powered up, and
thus reduces the hassle of user intervention.

• Manufacture's monitors and projectors have options for brightness and contrast
adjustments that text and images could be displayed differently to meet the
demands of the visually impaired. Other similar adjustments are also available by
using the On-Screen Display (OSD) controls on the products.

• Manufacture's monitors and projectors include user-selectable color controls, such as
color temperature selections (Monitor: 5800K, 6500K and 9300K, Projector: 5500K,
6500K, 7500K and 9300K), with a wide range of contrast levels.

• Manufacture's multimedia monitors and projectors usually have one or two speakers
for audio performance which allow users (including hearing impaired) to interact
with the computer systems connected. Speaker controls are typically located on the
front-panel.

• Firmware of manufacture's monitors and projectors contain unique product
information that helps computer systems to identify manufacture products and
activate their Plug-and-Play function when connected.

• All manufacture's monitors and projectors are compatible with the PC99 standard.
For example, connectors are color-coded to help users easily connecting products
to computer systems correctly.

• Some models of manufacture's monitors and projectors contain additional USB and
DVI ports for connection to more devices such as a special headphone to assist the
hearing impaired.

• All manufacture monitors and projectors come with user manuals on compact discs
which could be easily read by commercial software such as Adobe Reader via a
connected computer system. These documents are also available on the
manufacture's web site. Other types of documents may be available upon requests.

• Manufacture's customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers
through phone calls, facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
