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.
On preventing internal heat build-up
After you turn off the power with the 1 key on the
1
Remote Commander or the I /
panel, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet
while the cooling fan is still running.
Do not block ventilation holes
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust)
on the front. Do not block or place anything nearthese holes, or internal heat build-up may occur,
causing picture degradation or damage to the
projector.
key on the control
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.
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.
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.
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.
•Air polluted by tobacco smoke, etc., may have a
negative effect on the projector.
Be sure to avoid tobacco smoke, etc., from directly
getting in to this unit.
Ventilate well when using this unit in a closed room.

About the preset memory
This projector has 45 kinds of preset data for input
signals (the preset memory). When a preset signal is
input, this projector automatically detects the signal
type. When the signal is registered in the preset
memory, a suitable picture is displayed on the screen
according to the signal type. The type of input signal
is displayed in the INPUT SETTING menu. You can
adjust the preset data through the INPUT SETTING
menu.
This projector also has 20 user memory locations for
each INPUT A/B. You can register a new type of
signal that is not preset. When an unpreset signal is
input for the first time, the adjusted setting made using
INPUT A/B in the INPUT SETTING menu 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.
