Important safety information
Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of the unit and to prevent re and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation
For best results, use the unit in a darkened room. Place the unit on a at, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture. Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components. Handle the unit carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components. Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
Power Supply
The unit is designed to operate on a power supply of 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply ts these requirements before attempting to use the unit. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or re. Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the power outlet after using the unit. Before disconnecting the power cable, make sure that the indicator of the POWER/STANDBY button lights in orange (not ashing or in blue).
Cleaning
Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the unit. Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong deter­gents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens. Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated dust blocks the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the unit to malfunction. Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice tool, to pre­vent the damage to the unit.
Lamp Replacement
Be sure to replace the lamp when the LAMP indicator comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours of usage, the lamp will turn o.
Fire and Shock Precautions
Ensure that there is sucient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Al­low at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space between the unit and walls. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve any ob­jects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If something should fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object removed by a qualied KAGA COMPONENTS service person. Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.
Carrying around
When carrying the unit around, please use the soft case that comes with it and, to protect the lens from scratches, always shut the lens shutter. Also, do not subject the unit to strong mechanical shock.
CAUTION – HOT!
The area around the exhaust vents is hot during and immediately after image projection. To avoid burns, keep your hands away from this area. Wait until the exhaust vents area cools o before touching it.
Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

Helpful Hints
Convenient functions for the use of this product
I would like to use the projector in a simple manner.
This product is equipped with an auto focus function and an auto keystone correction function. (Only the KG-PS232Xh/232X have the auto focus function.) When shipped from the factory, both of these functions are ON. When using this product, just press the POWER/STANDBY button and set the image size with the zoom ring to allow the image to be projected simply. See “Basic Operation” for details. See Page E-21.
I would like to project a clear image in conjunction with the projection location. (Example: I would like to project onto a blackboard, etc.)
A projection mode to suit the purpose can be selected with Projection
Mode under Simple Menu. For example, by selecting the Blackboard
mode a color adjustment that suits blackboards will be made automatically, allowing a clear image to be projected without making detailed settings. Other modes include Graphics and Presentation modes. See “Projection Mode Selection” for information about operation from the remote control. See Page E-41. See “Projection Mode” for information about operation from the menu. See Page E-52.
I would like to stop the projection temporarily.
The projection can be stopped temporarily during a presentation or class. By using Still Image (FREEZE), or Blank/Mute (BLANK) the projection can be paused, or the video can be made blank temporarily. See “Temporarily Blanking/Muting the Video/Audio”, or “Pausing the Video” for information about operation from the remote control. See Pages E-40 and 41. See “Blank/Mute” or “Still Image” for information about operation from the menu. See Page E-57.
What is the automatic keystone correction function?
When the projector is tilted up or down when projecting, the picture will appear distorted.
There are two types of keystone distortion, in the horizon­tal or vertical direction. This projector has a function that manually o r automatically corrects the distortion in the vertical direct ion.
See “Auto Keystone,” and “Keystone” for details. See Pages E-53 and 54.
Technical Point
What is the projection mode?
This projector is already equipped with projection modes that suit the application. This permits an immediate color adjustment to suit the purpose without p erforming detailed adjustments such as Gamma Correction, Color Tem-
perature, or White Level.

Technical Point
What is an RGB connector?
This is a connector used for transferring video signals to a monitor or other equipment. The three colors R (red), G (green), and B (blue) are separated and trans ferred as an analog signal with this system. The display of a personal computer is expressed by the RGB color sp ace, and synthe­sizing the three colors pe rmits all colors to be reproduced. These conn ectors mainly use a standard called mini D-Sub 15-pin that describes their form, and control signals used for signal synchronization, as well as other si gnals, are trans­ferred at the same time as the RGB color signal.
What is a Video Connector, an S-connector, a YCbCr Connector, and a YPbPr Connector?
Several types of connectors are used as video connectors including composite video connectors, sepa rate vide o con­nectors, and compone nt video connector s.
Composite video connector s are usually called pin jacks or RCA jacks, and they are mainly included on video decks, document cameras, etc.
Separate video connectors are most t ypically called S-video, and because they take the form of mini DIN 4 -pin connec­tors, mini DIN 4-pin may also be used to describe S-vide o.
Component video conn ectors are called color-dierence input connectors. The u sual NTSC (480i) signal connector that transfers the C color signal which is divided into the B-Y color-dierence signal Cb (Pb), and the R-Y color-dierence signal Cr (Pr) is described a s Y/Cb/Cr. Connectors that can be used for video formats above NTSC may be described as Y/Pb/Pr.
Note
A commercially-available component cable is re­quired to make connection with equipment hav­ing YCbCr connectors such as DVD players, etc.
A commercially-available component cable is required to make connection with equipment having YPbPr connectors such as high denition video equipment, etc.

What are supported frequencies?
Supported frequencies is a term that indicates the breadth of the scanning frequencies that this projector supports. The scanning frequencies express the speed when the display is drawing the screen. The number of lines that can be drawn in 1 second are called the horizontal scanning frequency, and the number of times the screen is overwritten in 1 second is called the vertical scanning frequency. The higher th e scan­ning frequenc y, the higher the resolution or the greater the number of simultaneously expressed colors can will be pos­sible, and a display having little icker ca n be produced. As an exampl e, a display having a vertical scanning frequency of 70 Hz can draw the screen 70 times i n 1 second.
Technical Point
This projector is equipped with two COMPUTER IN connec­tors. When two personal compu ters are used in meetings or classes, they can bot h be connec ted to the projector at the same time.
One RGB cable is supplied with this projector. Whe n the projector is used with two computers, please purchase an additional commercially- available RGB cable.
When two personal computers are connected, the video that is detected rst will be projected. To switch the video, press the SOU RCE button of the projector or the remote control and switch the input.

Separate video connectors are most t ypically called S-video, and because they take the form of mini DIN 4 -pin connec­tors, mini DIN 4-pin may also be used to describe S-vide o.
Component video conn ectors are called color-dierence input connectors. The u sual NTSC (480i) signal connector that transfers the C color signal which is divided into the B-Y color-dierence signal Cb (Pb), and the R-Y color-dierence signal Cr (Pr) is described a s Y/Cb/Cr. Connectors that can be used for video formats above NTSC may be described as Y/Pb/Pr.
Technical Point
What is a ferrite core?
These are accessories that are used to reduce the radiated noise from the interface cables of digital equ ipment and other devices. When a high frequency current that is the source of n oise ows in a cable, it will generate a magnetic eld and noise will be emitted. The ferrite core absorbs this and converts it to heat which is radiated. Attaching a ferrite core will reduce the deterioration of the pictu re.

Basic Operation
Connecting Personal Computers and Video Equipment
Using YCbCr Connectors or YPbPr Connectors
Use a commercially-available conversion cable to connect with the COMPUTER IN 1/2 connector of the projector. The factory default input setting of the COMPUTER IN 1/2 connector is set to
Auto; however, if there is no projection, change the input setting with Advanced Menu Input Computer 1/2. See “Input” for details. See Page E-74.
When projecting the YCbCr signal or YPbPr signal, if the color of the overall im­age strongly leans toward being greenish or another color, change the setting under Advanced Menu Color Color Space. See “Color Space” for details. See Page E-72.
