• 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.

Safety precautions when using 3D Glasses

Warning

• Do not put the 3D Glasses in a fire.

• Do not disassemble the 3D Glasses.

• Do not use, charge, store, or leave the 3D Glasses near a fire, or in places with a high temperature, e.g., in direct sunlight, or in sun-heated cars.

• Use only the supplied USB cable.

• Do not allow water or foreign material to enter the 3D Glasses.

Safety precautions

• Use only the type of 3D glasses included with this unit. You should only use the 3D glasses for watching 3D video images. Do not use the 3D Glasses with other equipment, such as TV.

• If you observe flickering or flashing, turn off the lighting in the room.

• Not for use by children without proper adult supervision.

• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in hinges of the 3D glasses when bending the temple frames.

• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.

• If these glasses are broken, keep broken pieces away from your mouth or eyes.

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.

: 3D sync signal flow

Tip

Place the optional 3D Sync Transmitter directly facing the 3D glasses. Also, in order to stabilize operation of the 3D glasses, it is recommended that you place the 3D Sync Transmitter near your viewing position.

3D Sync Transmitter (not supplied)

CAUTION

Be sure to use straight-type LAN cable of up to 15 m labeled TYPE CM, and do not use an extension cord.

Notes

• The 3D SYNC connector is dedicated for the optional 3D Sync Transmitter. Do not connect computers or other network devices, to avoid malfunction.

• You can use a 3D Sync Transmitter separate from this unit, using an optional LAN cable (straighttype). If the usage environment has interference of a continuous specific frequency, synchronization of 3D image signals and the 3D glasses may be lost. In this case, use a LAN cable labeled Category 7. When watching 3D images in an environment that has even more interference, use the internal transmitter.

• Be sure to use cable of up to 15 m, and do not use an extension cord. Also, keep the LAN cable away from any AC power cords as much as possible.

• Only one 3D Sync Transmitter should be connected to the unit. Connecting multiple 3D Sync Transmitters may cause a malfunction.

• When connected to the 3D Sync Transmitter, the built-in 3D Sync Transmitter feature of the unit will turn off. You cannot use both at the same time.

Step 4: Selecting the Menu Language

You can select one of 16 languages for displaying the menu and other on-screen displays. The factory default setting is English. To change the current menu language, set the desired language with the menu screen.
