TotheOwner
Before installing and operating this projector, read this
manual thoroughly.
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions.
Operating the projector properly enables you to manage
those features and maintains it in good condition
for many years to come. Improper operation may
result in not only shortening the product-life, but also
malfunctions, fire hazard, or other accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this
manual again, check operations and cable connections
and try the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section on
pages 63-65 of this manual. If the problem still persists,
contact the dealer where you purchased the projector or
the service center.
– This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens. Do not stare directly into the lens, otherwise eye
damage could result. Be especially careful that children
do not stare directly into the beam.
– Install the projector in a proper position. Improper
positioning may reduce the lamp life and result in
severe accident or fire hazard.
– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,
and rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper
air circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimension
shown here indicate the minimum space required.
If the projector is to be built into a compartment or
similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be
maintained.
– Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat
build-up can reduce the service life of your projector,
and can also be dangerous.
SIDE and TOPREAR

– If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug
the projector from the power outlet.
– Do not project the same image for a long time. The
afterimage may remain on the LCD panels by the
characteristic of panel.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them
for later use. Unplug this projector from AC power
supply before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
projector.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This
will prevent damage due to lightning and power line
surges.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool,
etc...
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand,
or table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury
to a child or adult, and serious damage to the projector.
Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the projector. Wall or shelf
mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions,
and should use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the
cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable
operation of the equipment and to protect it from
overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or
other materials, and the bottom opening should not be
blocked by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. This projector should never be
placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a book case unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into this projector
through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the projector.
Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of
air-conditioning equipment.
This projector should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your
authorized dealer or local power company.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow
anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this
projector where the cord may be damaged by persons
walking on it.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as
opening or removing Covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the projector to normal operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change
in performance-this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
projector, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the projector is in safe
operating condition.

AC Power Cord Requirement
The AC Power Cord supplied with this projector meets the requirement for use in the country you
purchased it.
AC Power Cord for the United States and Canada:
AC Power Cord used in the United States and Canada is listed by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL)
and certified by the Canadian Standard Association (CSA).
AC Power Cord has a grounding-type AC line plug. This is a safety feature to be sure that the plug will
fit into the power outlet. Do not try to defeat this safety feature. Should you be unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician.
ACPowerCordfortheUnitedKingdom:
This cord is already fitted with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on
the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse must
be used of the same rating, marked thus
the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible
on the pin face of the plug (i.e. red or orange). Fuse covers are available from the Parts Department
indicated in your User Instructions.
If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and destroyed.
The end of the flexible cord should be suitably prepared and the correct plug fitted.
The Wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green-and-yellow .....Earth
Blue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Neutral

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
