Package Contents

Open the package and ensure that you have the following items:

Features

• Newly developed 0.95” 1080p DMD™ chip provides significantly improved optical efficiency

and excellent contrast ratio.

• Newly developed LVDS (Low voltage differential signal) chip eliminates Color Breaking
phenomena common with previous generation DLP™ LED projectors.

• Use of high-output LED realizes both high color purity and high brightness. Natural images
made possible by high color reproducibility can be created with high-brightness, powerful
expression capabilities.

• New i/p conversion algorithm enhances the performance of the motion detect i/p conversion.

• Extensive improvements on the jagged edges or slanted lines in moving images.

• New Edge Up-Scaling.

• As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines,
even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480i/p can be projected by converting them to
1920X1080 resolution images.

• New Film Mode Function.

• 3:2 pull down enhancement for 480i and 2:2 for 576i signals, and HDTV 1080i signals as well.

• Use of an HDMI/HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and
projection to be performed digitally, resulting in the realization of all-digital projection without
any data loss due to analog conversion. This also supports the building of home theaters
using HTPC.

CONNECTIONS AND SETUP

Using the Adjustment Feet

Adjusting the Lens

Using the Lens Shift

• The height of the projector can be adjusted using the

adjustment feet when the projector is placed on the
uneven surface or when the screen is slanted.

• The projection of the image can be made higher by
adjusting the projector when it is in a location lower
than the screen.

• If the screen is at an angle, the adjustment feet can be
used to adjust the angle of the image.

Note

• When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image

may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the
relative positions of the projector and the screen.

See

page 37 for details on keystone correction.

Info

• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your

finger caught in the area between the adjustment foot
and the projector.

The image is focused and adjusted to the desired size
using the on-screen Focus menu and Zoom menu.

1

Press on the remote control.

2

Follow the instructions on both menus to
focus and adjust the image size.

The height and width of the projected image
can be adjusted to be within the shift range of
the lens by rotating the lens shift dial at the left
side of the projector.

Note

• Do not forcibly turn the lens shift dial beyond

the range. This may cause the projector to
malfunction.

CONNECTIONS AND SETUP

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

 Place the projector at the required distance from the screen

according to the desired picture size.

An Example of Standard Setup

Note

• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through

the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.

• For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling
directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the
lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.

• The distance from the screen to the projector may

vary depending on the size of the screen.

• The default setting can be used, when placing the
projector in front of the screen. If the projected
image is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to
“Front” for “PRJ Mode” in the “Options” menu.

• Place the projector so that an imaginary horizontal
line that passes through the center of the lens is
perpendicular to the screen.

Note

2D Lens Shift Ability:

• Short throw lens shift:
1/2 of screen height: Up 120%, Down 50%
1/2 of screen height: Left 15%, Right 15%

• Long throw lens shift:
1/2 of screen height: Up 120%, Down 50%
1/2 of screen height: Left 15%, Right 15%

• It is recommended that images be projected onto the
dashed line octagonal area for fine image quality.

• There is a tolerance of ±5% in the formula above.

Basic Operation

Use this option to determine how the color components of an input signal are decoded for accurate color on
the display. In most situations, the Auto setting produces the most accurate colors. If it does not, try the other
settings and select the one that does.

To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image, choose White Balance from the
Picture menu and press ENTER.

Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image.

Offset: Use the Offset controls in the White Balance sub-menu to correct color imbalance in the dark areas

of the image.

This control compensates for incoming elevated black levels present in certain video signals. For some types
of video, you may want to override the setting. Set it to 0 IRE if blacks appear elevated (dark gray). If blacks
appear “crushed” (too dark), set it to 7.5 IRE.

Authorized technician should perform the installation only.

When using the ceiling mount bracket, the safety instructions provided with the bracket must be strictly
observed. Placed the projector at the desired distance from the screen: the size of the projected image
depends upon the distance between the lens and the screen and the zoom setting.

For ceiling/wall installation, by means of suspension bracket, carefully follow the instructions and safety
instructions recommended by the manufacturer in the bracket's literature.

Note

• Your projector comes with 4 screws in the bottom.

• Don't remove screws if you do not use ceiling mount.
