Precautions
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.
•Be careful not to catch your fingers with the
adjusters when you lift up the projector. Do not push
hard on the top of the projector with the adjusters
out.
•Be sure to grasp both sides when carrying the
projector.
On preventing internal heat build-up
After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key on the
Remote Commander or on the control panel, 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) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust)
on the front. 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 cleaning
•To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean
it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed
with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent
solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner,
benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will
damage the cabinet.
•Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens,
use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth,
detergent solution, or thinner.
•Clean the filter at regular intervals, every 300 hours.
On repacking
Overview
On illumination
•To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen
should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.
•Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use
a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the
contrast ratio.
•Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque
draperies.
•It is desirable to install the projector in a room where
floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If
the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is
recommended that the carpet and wall paper be
changed to a dark color.
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.
About the LCD projector
The LCD projector is manufactured using highprecision technology. You may, however, see tiny
black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green)
that continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is
a normal result of the manufacturing process and does
not indicate a malfunction.

Features
Features
High brightness, high picture quality
•High brightness
The 200 W UHP lamp optical system provides
brightness levels of as much as 2000 ANSI lumens
and excellent picture uniformity.
•High resolution
Three 0.9-inch, approximately 790,000 pixel, XGA
panels provide a resolution of 1024 × 768 dots for
RGB input and 750 horizontal TV lines for video

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 or cause picture
degradation. When pulling out a cable, be sure to
pull it out grasping the plug, not the cable itself.
Connecting to a Computer
This section describes how to connect the projector to
a computer.
For more information, refer to the computer’s
instruction manual.
Notes
•The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, and
SXGA signals. However, we recommend that you
set the output mode of your computer to XGA mode
for the external monitor.
•If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to
output the signal to both your computer’s display and
an external monitor, the picture of the external
monitor may not appear properly. Set your computer
to output the signal to only the external monitor.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied
with your computer.

About the preset memory No.
This projector has 37 kinds of preset data for input
signals (the preset memory). The memory number of
the current input signal and the signal type are
displayed when the preset signal is input. This
projector automatically detects the signal type. When
the signal has been registered in the preset memory, a
suitable picture is displayed on the screen according to
the signal type. You can adjust the picture through the
INPUT SETTING menu.
This projector also has 20 kinds of user memories for
each INPUT A/B. When an unpreset signal is input
for the first time, the memory number is displayed as
0. If the input signal is adjusted in the INPUT
SETTING menu, the setting made via INPUT A/B is
stored. When more than 20 user memory items are
registered for each INPUT A/B, the newest memory
item is automatically stored over the oldest one.

Notes for Installation
Notes for Installation
Unsuitable Installation
Do not install the projector in the following situations.
These installations may cause malfunction or damage
to the projector.
Poorly ventilated
•Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
When internal heat builds up due to blockage of the
ventilation holes, the temperature sensor may
function, a warning message will be displayed, and
the power may be turned off automatically after one
minute.
•Leave space of more than 50 cm (19
around the unit.
•Be careful that the ventilation holes do not inhale
tiny objects such as pieces of paper.
3
/4 inches)
Very dusty
Avoid installing the unit in a location where there is a
lot of dust; otherwise, the air filter will clog. The dust
blocking the air through the filter may cause the
internal heat level of the projector to rise. Clean the
filter periodically.
Unsuitable Conditions for Use
Do not do any of the following.
Toppling the unit
Avoid standing the unit on its side as the unit may
topple over. This may cause a malfunction.
Tilting the unit more than 15 degrees
Highly heated and humid
•Avoid installing the unit in a location where the
temperature or humidity is very high, or the
temperature is very low.
•To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the
unit in a location where the temperature may rise
rapidly.
