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 I/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.

6 Precautions

This manual covers models VPL­HS51A and VPL-HS60.
The illustrations of the projector used in
this manual are those of the VPL-HS60
unless the model name is specifically
mentioned.

Connections and Preparations

This section describes how to install the projector and screen, how to connect
the equipment from which you want to project the picture, etc.

Unpacking

Check the carton to make sure it contains the following items:

Connections and Preparations

• Remote control (1)

• Size AA (R6) batteries (2)

• AC power cord (1)

• CD-ROM (Application software)
(VPL-HS51A only) (1)

• Air filter (for replacement) (1)

• Operating Instructions (this manual) (1)

Inserting the batteries into the remote control

Insert the batteries E side first as shown in the illustration.
Inserting them forcibly or with the polarities reversed may cause
a short circuit and may generate heat.

Step 1: Installing the Projector

The projector’s lens shift feature allows you to choose a variety of installation
locations for your projector. You can enjoy home entertainment with this
projector in the following situations.

Enjoying home theater

Watching sports, etc. with your
company

Enjoying video games on a large
screen

Viewing images shot by a digital video
camera on a large screen

8 Step 1: Installing the Projector

Before Setting Up the Projector

Do not place the projector in the following
situations, which may cause malfunction
or damage to the projector.

Poorly ventilated

Very dusty and extremely smoky

Connections and Preparations

Make a special attention to the following
while using the projector.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Highly heated and humid

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

Ventilation holes
(intake)

Ventilation holes
(exhaust)

Tip

For details on the location of the ventilation
holes (intake or exhaust), see “Location of
Controls” on pages 60 to 62.

When installing the unit at altitudes

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500
m or higher, set “High Altitude Mode” in the
Installation menu to “On.” (1 page 41)
Failing to set this mode when using the
projector at high altitudes could have adverse
effects, such as reducing the reliability of
certain components.

Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.

9Step 1: Installing the Projector

Installing the Projector and a Screen

The installation distance between the projector and a screen varies depending
on the size of the screen.

1 Determine the installation position of the projector and screen.

You can obtain a good quality picture if you position the projector with the
center of the lens within the areas indicated in the gray areas in the
illustration. Use the values a, b, c, d and e in the table on page 11 as a guide.

Screen

a

b

a: Minimum projection distance between the screen and the center of the

projector’s lens

b: Maximum projection distance between the screen and the center of the

projector’s lens

c: Vertical distance between the center of the screen and the center of the

projector’s lens when using the maximum vertical lens shift feature*

d: Horizontal distance between the center of the screen and the center of

the projector’s lens when using the maximum horizontal lens shift
feature*

e: Maximum vertical distance between the center of the screen and the

center of the projector’s lens when using both the vertical and
horizontal lens shift features with the horizontal lens shift set to the
maximum value*

* The distances c, d and e indicated in the illustration show those in the lower

or left direction. The same distances in the upper or right direction are
appropriate for installation.

Note

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 malfunction of the projector.

12 Step 1: Installing the Projector

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 from the plug,
not the cable itself.

• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

About the Preset Memory No.

This projector has 32 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory).
When the 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.
You can also adjust the preset data through the Signal menu.
This projector also 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 Signal menu,
it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are
registered, the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 55 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.

Note

When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen

Adjusting Picture Quality of a Signal from the Computer

You can automatically adjust to obtain the clearest picture when projecting a
signal from the computer.

1 Project a still picture from the computer.
2 Press the APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) button.

When the picture is adjusted properly, “complete!” appears on the screen.

Notes

• When “Smart APA” is set to “On,” the APA function is automatically activated.

• Press the APA button when the image appears on the whole display area of the
computer. If there are black edges around the image, the APA function will not
function properly and the image may extend beyond the screen.

• If you switch the input signal or re-connect a computer, press the APA button again
to get the suitable picture.

• To restore the original screen, press the APA button again during the adjustment.

• When a signal of which the timing is the same as the “Memory No.37” or the
“Memory No.55” signal (refer to the “Preset Signals” chart) is input, if the polarity of
the synchronized signal is different, the input signal may be misjudged and the image
may not appear properly (incorrect aspect ratio or lack of a part of the image). In this
case, press the APA button to adjust the image. This APA processing time may be
longer than the APA processing time of signal in another case. If the image does not
still appear properly, input the signal as described in the following example, then
press the APA button again.

Example:

Display of multiple icons or Windows bar in the lower part on a whitish wallpaper

• The picture may not be adjusted properly depending on the types of input signals.
