ASTA or BSI to BSI362.
Always replace the fuse cover after
changing the fuse.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

Moisture Condensation

Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the
lens and the crucial internal parts. Do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an
extreme or sudden change in temperature to prevent the unit from possible damage.

Place and Manner of Installation

•

Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.

•

Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening
their lives, and darkening the screen.
Do not use this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than 20° from

•
level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product.

•

Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.

•

Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may cause
condensation on the lens or internal parts. If you continue to use it in that situation, it may
malfunction. Wait until the condensation naturally disappears.

•

In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use the
projector with [Fan mode] set to [High].

•

Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use with the power cord’s specified voltage
range. Do not overload extension cords or power strips as this can result in fire or electric
shock.

•

Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip over it.
The projector may fall down, which could result in severe injury.

•

Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not
place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged.

•

Before using the batteries, be sure to observe the Safety Precautions described in
previous pages.

•

Remove batteries from remote control when not using for extended periods.

•

If the remote control stops working, or if its range decreases, replace all the batteries
with new ones.

•

Keep the batteries away from the reach of children.
Batteries are choking hazards and can be very dangerous if swallowed. If the batteries
are swallowed, seek medical assistance immediately.

WARNING

Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•
when placing the unit. Attempting to clean and replace the lamp in a high location
by yourself may cause you to fall, resulting in injury.

If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer

•
to do so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold
separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector
to fall, resulting in an accident.

If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in

•

case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Projection Distance and Size

Use the figures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and projection distance.
(Projection sizes are approximate values for full-size picture with no keystone adjustment.)

Turning the power off

N

Press the ON/STANDBY button.

1

When the setting of beep sound is
on the screen
press the ON/STANDBY button again. If you do not wish to shut off the power, wait for a
while without conducting any operations. This message will disappear after a moment.
(This operation is no longer valid after the message disappears.)

2

Press the ON/STANDBY button again.

When the setting of beep sound is [On], the projector beeps, and the screen
disappears, but the internal cooling fan continues to operate. Then, the projector goes
into standby mode.
During cooling, the ON/STANDBY indicator flashes. While the
indicator is flashing, the power can not be turned back on. There is
no problem with unplugging the power cord in this state.

3

Turn off the main power switch.

4

Replace the lens cap.

After use, replace the lens cap.

Note

The projector consumes about 11 W of power in

•
standby. We recommend that you unplug the power cord
if you will not be using the projector for an extended
period.

Precautions

When you wish to restart the projector again right after turning off the power, give the

•
lamp time (about 5 minutes) to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats, it
may fail to light.
Right after turning off the power, the unit may become very hot, especially air exhaust,

•

Precautions

Lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fl uctuate slightly.

•

•

The DLP® chip is made using extremely advanced technology. There may be black spots
(pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. These
are intrinsic characteristics of the technology and are not malfunctions.

Notes

A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and

•
the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The
lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)
Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals

•
supported by this projector (XGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image
quality slightly. To view high-quality images, set the computer’s external output to XGA.
With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images

•
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information
on how to turn off the LCD display, see the computer’s owner’s manual.
If no signal is being input from the connected equipment or signal input is stopped while

•
projecting, the “No signal” message will appear.
If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupported signal” message

Correcting the keystone distortion

■

When the projector placement angle against the screen is changed while projecting the
image, the picture will undergo keystone (trapezoidal) distortion.
This projector is capable of correcting this keystone distortion.

•

The keystone distortion will be corrected automatically based on the projector’s
placement angle.

Notes

•

Depending on the amount of keystone adjustment
and the content of images, some information may
be lost, or the picture quality may suffer.
Even if [Auto keystone] is set to [On], keystone distortion can be adjusted

•
manually. Note that if you change the position or angle of the projector, automatic
keystone correction will be performed again.
When [Auto keystone] is set to [On], the automatic keystone correction will be

•
performed each time the power is turned on.
The keystone correction settings are memorized after the power has been turned off.

•
Therefore, it is recommended that you set [Auto keystone] to [Off], if the case is that
the projector placement angle against the screen remains unchanged and you do not
wish to change the keystone adjustment that you set.
Some adjustments using both digital zoom and keystone correction while displaying

•
an input image with a 16:9 aspect ratio, may affect displaying the menu properly. In
such a case, reset either digital zoom or keystone correction to use the menu.
