When installing the projector on the ceil ing

Be sure to fasten the end of the safety wire of the Lens to both the projector and the PSS-610 Projector Suspension Support i n s te p 6, a s il lustrated below. In this case, use the screw (M5×12, with washer) supplied with the PSS-610. First, place the PSS-610 ( 1 ) on the projector, then place the safety wire ( 2 ) on the PSS-610.

4 Turn the Conversion Lens clockwise until

you hear it click.

Note

If the Conversion Lens is hard to turn, turn it slightly counterclockwise first, then turn it clockwise.

5 Place a thick cloth (e.g., a cushion)

beneath the projector. Place the projector face down.

Notes

• You cannot install the Conversion Lens on the projector’s lens with the Cinema Filter attached. Remo v e the Cine ma Filter when you install the Conversion Lens.

Step 2: Connecting the Projector

When making connections, be sure t o do the following:

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out f rom the plug , not the cable itself.

• Refer to the ope rating i nstructi ons of the connecte d equipment.

• When you connect your projector to PJ MULTI or DVI connector, select the input signal with the “Input-A Signal Sel.” or “Digital Signal Sel.” setting in the SET SETTING menu. (1 page
