Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is
not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat buildup
After you turn off the power with the I/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything
near these holes, or internal heat build-up
may occur, causing picture degradation or
damage to the projector.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.

Step 1: Installing the Projector
The projector displays pictures output from
a VCR or other device.
The lens shift allows you to have broader
options for placing the projector and
viewing pictures easily.
Before Setting Up the Projector
Unsuitable installation
Do not place the projector in the following
situations, which may cause malfunction
or damage to the projector.
Poorly ventilated location
Leave space of more than 30 cm (117/8 inches)
around the unit.
Hot and humid
Installing the projector in such a location
may cause a malfunction of the unit due to
moisture condensation or rise in
temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
Malfunction of the sensor may occur.
Very dusty and extremely smoky
locations
Install in a location away from walls
Allow at least 30 cm (11 7/8 inches)
between the projector and walls.
Locations subject to direct cool or
warm air from an air-conditioner

reliability of the effects of the lamp.
When installing the unit at altitudes
When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500
m or higher, set “Cooling Setting” in the Setup
menu to “High” (1 page 46). Failing to
set this mode when using the projector at high
altitudes could have adverse effects, such as
reducing the reliability of certain components.

of the screen.
1 Determine the installation position of the projector and screen.
You can obtain a good quality picture if you position the projector with the center of
the lens within the areas indicated in the gray areas in the illustration. Use the values
a, b and c in the table on page 15 as a guide.

Step 2: Connecting the Projector
When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or
poor picture quality. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not
the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.
