About this manual ................................1
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC/PAL/SECAM
video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation and displays a
large image from a short distance.
O High Brightness
Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean enough
for use in bright rooms.
O Low Noise
WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise for quieter operation. It is
perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more important than
brightness.
O Compact Body
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim, which
gives you more flexibility and usability to use it where you want.

Using the remote control
About the filter cover for bottom-up use
CAUTION ŹBe careful in handling the remote control. Incorrect handling could
cause damage or malfunction.
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won’t be using the remote control for an extended period.
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
• When strong lights such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such
as from an inverter fluorescent lamp) hit the projector’s remote sensor, the remote
control may not function correctly. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light
from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.
30° approx. 3 meters
30°
• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60 degree range (30 degrees to the
left and right of the remote sensor).
• Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is difficult to
send a remote signal to the sensor directly, please try.
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class1
LED), be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block
the remote control’s output signal to the projector.
WA R NIN G ŹDo not replace the filter cover and/or air filter during use or
immediately after use. Handling while the projector is in a high temperature could cause
a burn and/or malfunction to the projector. Before operating, make sure that the power
switch is off, that the power cord is not plugged in, and that the projector is cooled
adequately.

adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not
be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows. Then
the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or
LCD monitors to change the resolution.

Maintenance
Lamp
WA RN I NG
►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that
each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start
using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into
the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.►About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in
trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.
For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US)
For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the
US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, call your dealer.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug
the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement
lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the
Disconnect
the plug
from the
power outlet
projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to
clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate
the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the
projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power cord, then
wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while
hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This
is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when
the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask
your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing,
make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in
damage or injury.
• Use only the lamp of the specified type.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that
there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens,
contact your local dealer or a service representative.
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section
“Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as
soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the
replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a
cause of breakage.
HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
When the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp, replace the lamp as
soon as possible.
1. Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. Allow the lamp to cool for at
least 45 minutes.

NOTE • A lamp has a finite product life. Lamps are characterized by the fact that, after
long hours of usage, a lamp will no longer light up, or the lamp will break or burst, etc.
This projector is equipped with an automatic shut-down function, such that the power
will automatically be turned off when lamp usage time has reached 2000 hours. Please
be aware, however, that among lamp types, there are major differences in product
lifetimes; a lamp may thus fail to light even prior to the functioning of the automatic
shut-down function of this projector.
Regarding the indicator lamps
Lighting and flashing of the POWER indicator, the LAMP indicator, and the TEMP
indicator have the meanings as described in the table below. Please respond in
accordance with the instructions within the table. If the same indication is displayed after
