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, unpl ug the unit an d ha v e it
checked by qualified personnel befo re
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit fro m the wall ou tlet if it is
not to be used for sev e ral 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 lam p is
on.
• Do not place your han d or objects ne ar the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the
adjuster when you lift up the projector. Do
not push hard on the top of the projector
with the adjuster out.
On illumination
• To obtain the best picture, the front of the
screen should not be exposed to direct
lighting or sunlight.
• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is
recommended. Use a cover over
fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the
contrast ratio.
• Cover any windows that face the screen
with opaque draperies.
• It is desirable to install the projector in a
room where floor and walls are not of
light-reflecting material. If the floor and
walls are of reflecting material, it is
recommended that the carpet and wall
paper be changed to a dark color.
On preventing internal heat buildup
After you turn off the power with the I / 1
key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall
outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ven ti lation
holes (intake) on th e bottom side and
ventilation holes (exhaust) on left and rear.
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 cleaning
• To keep the cabinet looking new,
periodically clean it with a so ft cl oth.
Stubborn stains ma y be removed with a
cloth lightly dampened with a mild
detergent solution. Never use strong
solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or
abrasive cleansers, since these will
damage the cabinet.
• Avoid touching the lens. To remo ve dust
on the lens, use a sof t dry cloth. Do no t use
a damp cloth, dete rgent solution, or
thinner.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals.
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 th e factory.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 37 types of preset data for
input signals for INPUT-A (the preset
memory). When a preset signal is input, the
projector automatical l y detects the signal
type and recalls the data for the signal from
the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum
picture. The memory number and signal type
of that signal are displa ye d in the INP U T
SETTING menu. You can also adjust th e
preset data through the INPUT SETTING
menu.
This projector has 20 types of user memories
for INPUT-A into which you can save the
setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset
input signal.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first
time, a memory num ber is displayed as 00.
When you adjust th e data of the signal in the
INPUT SETTING menu, it will be
registered to the projector. If more than 20
user memories are registered, the newest
memory always overwr ites the oldest one.
See the chat on page 39 to find if the signal
is registered to the preset memory.
Since the data is recalled from the preset
memory about the following signals, you
can use these preset data by adjustin g SIZE.
Make fine adjustment by adjusting SHIFT.
