1. COMPLIANCE OF SAFE REPAIR
Be sure to read this Service Manual before providing services. In the projector, full consideration is taken
to ensure the safety for a fire, electric shock, injury, harmful radiation, and substance. Therefore,observe the notice described in this Service Manual so that the safety is kept whenproviding services. Moreover, be sure toobserve the notice described in the Instruction Manual. Pay attention to the followingduring service inspection.
1-1. Cautions during disassembling and assembling
1.This equipment contains parts under high voltage. When making repairs, etc. Be sure to pull out the power plug beforehand to insure safety.
2. Parts may be very hot immediately after use. Make sure the equipment has cooled off sufficiently before carrying out repairs.
3. Make sure that parts and screws and wiring, etc. are returned to their original positions. Tube, tape andother insulation materials have been used for safety reasons. The internal wiring has been designed to avoid direct contact with hot parts or parts under high voltage when using clamps or other tools.
4. The parts used in this device have special safety features such as flame-resistance and anti-voltage properties. When replacing parts, always use parts supplied from the factory.
5. After finishing operations make sure that all parts and wires have been returned to their original position and that there has been no deterioration of the area around the location that was worked on.
6. Be sure to use an earth band (wrist band) during repair and inspection.
1-2. Lamp
During current conduction, the lamp is in the high-temperature state. In this case, pay careful attention because a high voltage is used. When replacing a lamp, replace it after confirming that the lamp has gotten cold sufficiently.
1-3. Lens
Do not look through a lens during projection. This damages your eyes.

2-8. Remote Control Parts
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turnedon. Certain high-frequency fluores-
cent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projector. If the path be-tween the remote control and the projector is obstructed, you can bounce the signal off certainreflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corresponding buttons onthe remote control. This user’s manual describes the functions based on the remote control.

2-11. Explanation of the block diagrams
1. Input signal processing
1-1.RGB & Component & DVI inputsystem
The RGB(5BNC) and COMPONENT inputsignals are led throughthe multiplexer
circuit. After these signals and DVI signal have been convertedinto 10-bit digital signals
of RGB each at the A/D converter (U201) incorporated in theVIDEO amplifier,the
resultant signals are output to the scaler (U400).
1-2.Video inputsystem
The VIDEO inputand S-VIDEO inputsignals are decoded into the Y/CbCr (brightness
and chroma)signals at the video decoder (U702).The decoded signals are further
converted into 10-bit digital signals ofY/ CbCr, and then output to the scaler(U400).
2. Digital video signal processing
2-1.Scaler (U400)
• The Y/CbCr signals are processed forpicture quality improvementand matrix
processing at the Scaler circuit, and then converted into the RGB signals.
• The RGBand VIDEO input signals are switched over at the selector. After passing
through the signal adjusting circuit of color space processing, auto-adjustment, etc.,
these signals are writtenin theRLDRAM.
• The videosignalscalled up from the RLDRAM, pass through the definition converter
circuit, ON-screen display, error diffusioncircuit forDLP, V-T compensator circuit, and
such signal processing circuits, and are then output to theoptical engine unit (DLP
formatter board).
• In the frame memory consisting of the RLDRAM and the FIFO locatedin the scaler,
frequency conversion is conducted for the WRITE system and the READ system.
Therefore, the video signals canbe output to the optical engineunit (DLPformatter
board) always at the constanttiming.
• According to the conditions of projector installation, the trapezoidal distortion
compensation of the video signals are also effected through the frame memory.

THETRUSTEDSOURCEFORPROJECTORLAMPSANDACCESSORIES
3. Audio signal processing
• The audio output is generatedfrom the speakers via the amplifier (U900) provided witha
volume control.
• The volume control is conducted by theDC output from the D/Aconverter (U900).
4. System control
The scaler (U400) controlsall ofthis system.
5. Power circuit
1.Mainpower supply
• In the state of standby, the power issupplied 5V tothe scaler, scaler peripheralICs,
and FLASHROM.
• After the power is ON, the power at2.5V, 3.3V, 5.7Vand13V is fed to the analogcircuit,
fan,formatter board, etc.
2. Lamp power supply
• The lamp is lit with POWER ON.
• Unlighting detection is performed.
6. Safety design
• Fan circuit detection
• Lamp cover detection
• Lamp house temperature detection
• Thermal protector for the lamppower supply
• Lamp replacing time
