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 ?/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.

Unpacking

Check the carton to make sure it contains the following items:

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

Inserting the batteries into the remote control

Insert the batteries E side first as shown in the illustration. Inserting them forcibly or with the polarities reversed may cause a short circuit and may generate heat.

• AC power cord (1)

• ImageDirector3 CD-ROM (1)

• Operating Instructions (this manual) (1)

• 3D glasses (including the batteries) (2)

• Pouch for the 3D glasses (2)

• Filter attachments for the 3D glasses (For the customers in the U.S.A.)

Regular size (4 kits)

Small size (4 kits) (For the customers in other countries and regions)

Regular size (2 kits)

Small size (2 kits)

• Conversion cable (RJ45 y 3D SYNC) (1)

Push and slide to open.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. When you dispose of the battery, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.

Installing batteries

Two size AA (R6) batteries are supplied for Remote Control. To avoid risk of explosion, use size AA (R6) manganese or alkaline batteries.

Caution about handling the remote control

• Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind onto it.

• Do not place the remote control in a location near a heat source, a place subject to direct sunlight, or a damp room.

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 (11 7/8 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

To maintain the performance and reliability of the projector, 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 page 8.

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. Installing the projector in such a location may result in uneven color uniformity or reduce the reliability of the effects of the lamp.

When installing the unit at high altitudes

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, set “Cooling Setting” on the Setup menu to “High” (1 page 59). 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

WARNING

When installing the unit, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or connect the power plug to an easily accessible socket-outlet near the unit. If a fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or disconnect the power plug.

Positioning the Projector and a Screen

The installation distance between the projector and a screen varies depending on the size of the screen or whether or not you use the lens shift features.

1 Determine the installation position of the projector and screen.

You can obtain a good quality picture if you position the projector so that the center of the lens is within the area indicated in gray in the illustration. Use the values L, x and y in the table on page 16 or 17 as a guide.

Screen

* Installation position not using lens shift (x = 0, y = 0) ** Example of installation position using lens shift (x, y)

Connections and Preparations

L: Distance between the screen and the front end of the projector’s lens. x: Horizontal distance between the center of the screen and the center of the

projector’s lens.

y: Vertical distance between the center of the screen and the center of the projector’s

lens.

For installation of the projector on a ceiling, see “Ceiling Installation.” (1 page 93)

For details on the lens shift feature, see “Step 2: Adjusting the Picture Position” (1 page 19).
