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 before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet i f 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 ne ar 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 t he lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the
adjuster when you adjust th e heig ht o f th e
projector. Do not push hard on the top of
the projector with the adjuster out.
On illum ination
• 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) and ven tilation 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 cleaning
• To keep the cabinet looking new,
periodically clean it with a soft cloth.
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 remove 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.
On LCD projector
• The LCD projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the LCD projector.
This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not
indicate a malfunction.

various convenient keys, including the D
ZOOM key for zooming in on the image,
the FREEZE key for keeping the image
projected even if the equipment is
disconnected, and the D KEYSTONE key
for correcting trapezoidal distortion of the
picture.

• Scan converter loaded
This projector has a build-in scan
converter that converts the input signal
within 800 × 600 dots .
• Compatible input signals
This projector accepts video signals of

About th e P res e t Me mory No .
This projector has 25 ty pes of p reset da ta for
input signals (the preset memory). When a
preset signal is input, t he projector
automatically 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 displayed in the INPUT
SETTING menu. You can also adjust the
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 number is displayed as 0.
When you adjust the d ata of the signa l in the
INPUT SETTING menu, it will be
registered to the projector. If more than 20
user memories are registered, the newest
memory always overwrites the ol dest one.
See the chart on page 3 8 to find if the si gnal
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 adjusting SIZE
H. Make fine adjustment by adjusting
SHIFT.
