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.

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:

• Remote control (1) and Size AA (R6) batteries (2)

• AC power cord (1)

• ImageDirector3 CD-ROM (1)

Inserting the batteries into the remote control

Insert the batteries E side first as shown in the illustration.

Push and slide to open.

Inserting them forcibly or with the polarities reversed may cause a short circuit and may generate heat.

• Lens cap (1) When you have purchased the projector, the lens cap is put onto the lens. Remove this lens cap when you use the projector.

• Operating Instructions (this manual)

Connections and Preparations

Step 1: Installing the Projector

The projector displays pictures output from a VCR or other device. The lens shift allows you to have broader options for placing the projector and viewing pictures easily.

Before Setting Up the Projector

Unsuitable installation

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

Poorly ventilated location

Leave space of more than 30 cm (117/8 inches) around the unit.

Hot and humid

Installing the projector in such a location may cause a malfunction of the unit due to moisture condensation or rise in temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may occur.

Very dusty and extremely smoky locations

Install in a location away from walls

Allow at least 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) between the projector and walls.

Tip

For details on the location of the ventilation holes (intake or exhaust), see “Location of Controls” on pages 8 to 9.

Tilting front/rear and left/right

15° or more

Avoid using the projector tilted at an angle of more than 15 degrees. Do not install the projector anywhere other than on a level surface or on the ceiling. Failing to set this mode when using the projector at high altitudes may result in uneven color uniformity and reducing the reliability of the effects of the lamp.

When installing the unit at altitudes

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, set “Cooling Setting” in the Setup

menu to “High” (1 page 46). Failing to

set this mode when using the projector at high altitudes could have adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain components.

15° or more

Positioning 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 and c in the table on page 15 as a guide.

To project an image, connect video equipment to the projector. (1 page 17)

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.

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; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor picture quality. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.
