Step 2: Connecting the Projector

When making connections, be sure to 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 “D VI Signal Sel. ” setting in the SET SETTING menu. (1 page 34)

Note

Before you change the “DVI Signal Sel.” setting, disconnect the DVI cable and turn off the digital tuner, etc.

Use LMP-H180 Projector Lamp as the replacement lamp.

When replacing the lamp after using the projector

Turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord. Wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.

Caution

The lamp becomes a high temperature after turning off the projector with the [/1 (on/standby) switch. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger.

Notes

• Do not put your hands into the lamp replacement spot, or not fall any liquid or object into it to avoid electrical shock or fire.

• Be sure to use the LMP-H180 Projector Lamp for replacement. If you use lamps other than LMP-H180, the projector may cause a malfunction.

• Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.

Disposal the used lamp

The used lamp contains Mercury, dispose according to local, state or federal laws.

As the materials used in this lamp ar e simi lar to those of a fluorescent lamp, you should dispose of a used projector lamp in the same way as a fluorescent lamp.

Replacing the Air Filter

3 Remove the air filter fro m the project or b y

holding the tab on the filter cover.

The air filter should be replaced periodically. When “Please re place the filter.” appears on the screen, replace the air filter immediately.

Notes

• Replacing the air filter is very important to maintain the high efficiency of the projector and to prevent a malfunction. When the replacement message appears on the screen, replace the air filter without delay. It is recommended to replace the air filter approximate ly every 1000 hours of use.

• When removing the air filter from the projector, be careful that no dust or object gets into the inside of the projector.

1 Place a protective sheet (clo th) beneath

the projector. Turn the projector over so you can see its underside.

Note

Be sure that the projector is stable after turning it over.

2 Open the filter cover while pushing the
