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.

Using the Menus

About the Preset Memory No.

This projector has 42 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 and DVI
channels mainly for the computer signal into which you can save the setting of
the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal, respectively.
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 71 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
is displayed in black.

Making Fine Adjustments to the Horizontal
Picture Position

Note

For details on how to make fine adjustments of the horizontal picture position, consult
with qualified personnel. When the lens is scratched, there is a charge for repair.
Also, do not look into the lens while you are adjusting the picture position.

You can adjust the lens position right or left by about 1 mm from the center of
the lens.

1 Remove the ring (washer) attached around the lens by turning

it counterclockwise.

2 Loosen the four screws located at the position indicated with

an arrow by turning them counterclockwise with a Philips
screwdriver.

3 Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the lens adjustment groove

located at the left bottom (when the projector projects the

image when placed on the floor, on a desk, etc.), and turn it in

the direction in which you want to move the lens.

If you turn it to the left, the lens moves to the left, and if you turn it to the

right, the lens moves to the right. (The range of movement is

approximately ± 1mm.)

Précautions

Sécurité

• S’assurer que la tension de service de votre

projecteur est identique à la tension locale.

• Si du liquide ou un objet quelconque

venait à pénétrer dans le boîtier,
débrancher le projecteur et le faire vérifier
par un technicien qualifié avant la remise
en service.

• Débrancher le projecteur de la prise

murale en cas de non-utilisation l’utiliser
pendant plusieurs jours.

• Pour débrancher le cordon, le tirer par la

fiche. Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon lui­même.

• La prise murale doit se trouver à proximité

du projecteur et être facile d’accès.

• Le projecteur n’est pas déconnecté de la

source d’alimentation tant qu’il reste
branché à la prise murale, même s’il a été
mis hors tension.

• Ne pas regarder dans l’objectif lorsque la

lampe est allumée.

• Ne pas placer la main ou des objets à

proximité des orifices de ventilation. L’air
expulsé est brûlant.

Remballage

Conserver le carton d’emballage original et
le matériel d’emballage ; ils seront très utiles
si l’on doit un jour expédier l’appareil. Pour
assurer une protection maximale, remballer
l’appareil tel qu’il avait été emballé en usine.

Prévenir l’accumulation de chaleur
interne

Après avoir mis l’appareil hors tension au
moyen de l’interrupteur I/1 (marche/veille),
ne pas le débrancher de la prise murale tant
que le ventilateur de refroidissement tourne.

Mise en garde

Le projecteur est doté d’orifices de
ventilation (prise d’air et sortie d’air). Ne
pas obstruer ces orifices et ne rien placer à
proximité car ceci risquerait de provoquer
une surchauffe interne pouvant entraîner une
altération de l’image ou un endommagement
du projecteur.
