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 ?/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.

Précautions

Sécurité

• S’assurer que la tension de service de votre

projecteur est identique à la tension locale.

• Si du liquide ou un objet quelconque

venait à pénétrer dans le boîtier,
débrancher le projecteur et le faire vérifier
par un technicien qualifié avant la remise
en service.

• Débrancher le projecteur de la prise

murale en cas de non-utilisation pendant
plusieurs jours.

• Pour débrancher le cordon, le tirer par la

fiche. Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon lui­même.

• La prise murale doit se trouver à proximité

du projecteur et être facile d’accès.

• Le projecteur n’est pas déconnecté de la

source d’alimentation tant qu’il reste
branché à la prise murale, même s’il a été
mis hors tension.

• Ne pas regarder dans l’objectif lorsque la

lampe est allumée.

• Ne pas placer la main ou des objets à

proximité des orifices de ventilation. L’air
expulsé est brûlant.

Remballage

Conserver le carton d’emballage original et
le matériel d’emballage ; ils seront très utiles
si l’on doit un jour expédier l’appareil. Pour
assurer une protection maximale, remballer
l’appareil tel qu’il avait été emballé en usine.

Prévenir l’accumulation de chaleur
interne

Après avoir mis l’appareil hors tension au
moyen de l’interrupteur I/1 (marche/veille),
ne pas le débrancher de la prise murale tant
que le ventilateur de refroidissement tourne.

Mise en garde

Le projecteur est doté d’orifices de
ventilation (prise d’air et sortie d’air). Ne
pas obstruer ces orifices et ne rien placer à
proximité car ceci risquerait de provoquer
une surchauffe interne pouvant entraîner une
altération de l’image ou un endommagement
du projecteur.

Remarques sur l’entrée du signal DVI-D

Le projecteur ajuste à un signal Compléte (0-255) la plage dynamique RGB de l’appareil
raccordé à l’aide du câble DVI.
Lorsqu’un signal Limité (16-235) est entré, le symptôme suivant peut se présenter.

• Lors de l’entrée d’un signal vidéo, la gradation colorimétrique de la zone sombre ou de
la zone claire peut perdre en clarté. Le cas échéant, permutez la plage dynamique RGB
de l’appareil raccordé sur Compléte (0-255). Si ce réglage n’est pas disponible, réglez
«Lumière

» ou « Contraste » dans le menu Image du projecteur. (1 page 41).
