B Overview

Precautions

are of reflecting material, it is
recommended that the carpet and wall
paper be changed to a dark color.

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 fro m the wall outlet 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 ha nd or objects ne ar the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.

• Be careful no t to have yo ur fin gers caug ht
by the adjuster. The powered tilt adjuster
of this unit automatically extends when the
power is turned on, and is put away
automatically when the power is turned
off. Do not touch the unit while the
adjuster is in operation. Adjust the
powered tilt adjuster carefully after its
automatic operation is completed.

• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the
unit.

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 th e scr een
with opaque draperies.

• It is desirable to install the unit in a room
where floor and walls are not of light­reflecting material. If the floor and walls

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 unit 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 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 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 LCD data projector

• The LCD data projector is manufactured
using high-precision technology. You
may, however, see tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously ap pear on the LCD data
projector. This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not
indicate a malfunction.

6 Precautions

Notes on Installation

Unsuitable Installation

Do not install the projector in the following
situations. These installations may cause
malfunct ion or damage to the unit.

Poorly ventilated

• Allow adequate air circulation t o prevent
internal heat build-up. Do not place the
unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilatio n holes. When the
internal heat builds up due to the block-up,
the temperature sensor will function with
the message “High temp.! Lamp off in 1
min.” The power will be turned off
automatically after one minute.

• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11
inches) around the unit.

• Be careful that the ventilation holes may
inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.

Highly heated and humid

7

/8

Subject to direct cool or warm air
from an air-conditioner

Installing in such a location may cause
malfunction of the unit due to moisture
condensation or rise in temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may be cause d.

Very dusty, extremely smoky

Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or
extremely smoky environment . Otherwise,
the air filter will become obstructed, and this
may cause a malfunction of the unit or
damage it. Dust preventing the air passing
through the filter may cause a rise in the
internal temperature of the unit. Clean the
filter periodically.

Overview

• Avoid installing the unit in a location
where the temperature or humidity is very
high, or temperature is very low.

• To avoid moisture condensation, do not
install the unit in a location where the
temperature may rise rapidly.

Notes on Installation

Unsuitable Conditions Usage in High Altitude

Do not use the pr ojector unde r the follo wing
conditions.

Toppling the unit

Avoid using as the unit topples over on its
side. It may cause mal function.

Tilting the unit to the right or left

Avoid tilting the unit to an angle o f 15°, and
avoid installi ng the unit in any way ot her
than placing on th e floor or susp ending fro m
the ceiling. Such installation may cause
color shading or shorten the lamp life
excessively.

When using the p rojector at an altitude of
1,500 m or higher, turn on “High
Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING
menu. Failing to set this mode when using
the projector at high altitudes could have
adverse effects, such as reducing
the reliability of certain components.

Note on carrying the projector

The unit is manuf actured using high­precision technology. When transporting the
unit stored in the carrying case, do not drop
the unit or subject it to shock, as this may
cause damage. When storing the unit in the
carrying c ase, disc onnect the AC power cord
and all other connecting cables or cards, and
store the supplied accessories in a pocket of
the carrying case.

Note on the screen

When using a screen with an uneven surface,
stripes pattern may rarely appear on the
screen depending on the distance between
the screen and the projector or the zooming
magnifications. This is not a m alfun c tio n of
the projector.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Avoid using a thick-piled carpet or anything
that covers the ventilation hole s (exhaust/
intake); otherwise, the internal heat may
build up.

For details on the ventilation holes (intake/
exhaust), see “Location and Function of
Controls” on page 12.

About the Preset Memor y No.

This projecto r has 45 types of pr eset dat a for
input signals (the preset memory). When a
preset signal is input, the 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 INFORMATION
menu (See page 40). 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 data of the signal in the
INPUT SETTING menu, it will be
registered to the proj ector. If more than 20
user memories are registered, the newest
memory always overwrites the oldest one.

See the chart on page 53 to find if the signal
is registered to the preset memory.

“Side Shot” and “V Keystone”
Adjustments

With “Side Shot” (horizontal keystone adjustment) provided for the projector, you can
project the picture from the side of the screen.
When projecting with “Side Shot” adjustment only, you can adjust the horizontal

When projecting with both “Side Shot” and “V Keystone” (vertical keystone adjustment),
you can adjust the vertical ( ) and horizontal ( ) distortion of the screen.

Notes

• If “V Keystone” is set to “Auto,” the “Side Shot” adjustment area may be narrow.

• “V Keystone” of the INSTALL SETTING menu is set to “Auto” at the factory, and the vertical
distortion of the picture is automatically corrected. However, the distortion may not be perfectly
corrected depending on the room temperature or the screen angle. In this case, set to “Manual,”
and correct the dist or t ion using values.
