Notes on Handling and Storage ........................................................................2
Be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid malfunctions, operating errors or damage to the projector.
Notes on Handling and Storage
• Do not set up the projector near high-voltage electrical wires or sources of magnetic fields.
These may interfere with correct operation.
• Do not touch the lens with bare hands.
If fingerprints or grease get onto the lens, it can interfere with the quality of the projected images. Attach the lens
cover to the lens when the projector is not in use.
• During projection, some points (dots) may appear lit at all times, or they may be dark at all times.
This is caused by the characteristics of the LCD panel, and is not a sign of a malfunction. The LCD panel is
manufactured using extremely high-precision technology. However, black dots may appear on the panel, or some
red, blue or green dots may light extremely brightly at times. Furthermore, sometimes stripe-shaped color
irregularities or brightness irregularities may also appear.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control before storage.
If the batteries are left in the remote control for long periods, they may leak.
• Always attach the lens cap to the lens when not using the projector, to prevent the lens from becoming dirty or
damaged.
• The mercury lamp that is used as the light source for the projector deteriorates as a result of impacts or
damage, and also naturally over time as it is used. It may explode with a loud noise or stop illuminating, or the
flickering may increase or illumination may stop, and these indicate the end of the lamp's operating life.
At such times, the amount of time remaining before the lamp breaks or stops working may vary greatly depending
on the individual lamp characteristics and the operating environment. These are normal characteristics of mercury
lamps. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
• YAMAHA takes no responsibility for loss or damage caused by damage to the projector or operating failures
outside normal service warranty conditions.
Lamp Operating Errors
The mercury lamp that is used as the light source for this projector may stop operating on occasions. This is a normal
characteristic of mercury lamps. If the lamp does not turn on when the projector's power is turned on, remove the
lamp and check if it is broken. If the lamp is not broken, reinstall it. Refer to "Replacing the Lamp" on page 53 of this
manual for instruction on removing and reinstalling the lamp.
If the lamp is broken, replace it with a new lamp. It is recommended that you have a spare lamp ready at all times in
case it is needed.
Notes on Carrying the Projector
• Turn off the projector power and then disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Furthermore, check that all other cables have been disconnected.
• Attach the lens cap to the lens.
• Retract the adjustable foot.
Notes when transporting the projector
When packing up the projector in its container for transportation, use the lens shift function to lower the lens fully.

Features of the Projector
Image appearance can be selected to match the
projection environment (Picture Mode)
The projector is equipped with a unique CB (color balance) filter that enhances the color reproduction of
images.
It is ideal for use in providing the optimum image effects for the projection environment when viewing images
such as games, sporting competitions and movies. It makes other troublesome color adjustments unnecessary.
(p.18)
Equipped with a wideangle lens shift function
The lens shift function allows you to adjust the
position of the projected images vertically and
horizontally without distorting the images.
This allows the projector to be set up with greater
freedom,
even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at an angle
to the screen. (p.12)
Wide range of brightness
adjustments
The image brightness can be adjusted within a wide range. Optimum images can be obtained even if using
the projector in a bright environment for watching videos or games, or in a dark environment such as when
creating the atmosphere of a home theatre. (p.30)
Electronic zoom and focus adjustment
The projector's control panel and the accessory remote control can be used for easy zoom and focus
adjustments.
For zoom adjustment, a high magnification lens is provided to allow images to be increased in size by up to 1.5
times, so that images can be projected onto an 80" screen even at a distance of approximately 2.5 m (8.2 ft.).
(p.11, 16)
A variety of image setting functions
Many other functions are available as follows.
Progressive and Motion Detection functions allow you to obtain ideal results both for images with large
amounts of movement and for still images. (p.32)
An aspect function that allows images to be viewed in wide-screen format. (p.19)
Memory functions that allow adjustment results to be stored and later retrieved easily using the remote control.
(p.26)
Key lock function that locks the control panel so that settings cannot be changed accidentally after
adjustment. (p.34)
Adoption of a special high-resolution DCDi video circuit developed by Faroudja. This circuit greatly reduces
the jagged edges that resulted from conventional progressive conversion. (p.32)

Adjusting the Screen Image
Projection image position adjustment (Lens shift)
The lens shift function can be used to adjust the position of projected images when the projector has been set
up in places such as the following.
•••• When the projector is suspended from a ceiling
•••• When the screen is higher than the projector
•••• When the projector is at an angle to the screen so that people can sit directly in front to view the screen
•••• When the projector is on top of a desk or similar
The lens shift function can move the lens horizontally and vertically to adjust the image position without
causing keystone distortion. Use the two lens shift dials to adjust the position of the projected images.
* At the time of shipment from the factory, the vertical lens shift position is set to the lowest position, so
move it to the center position before carrying out adjustment.
Horizontal lens shift: The projector can be set up
anywhere between the left and
right edges of the screen.
Vertical lens shift: The projector can be set up anywhere
from the top edge of the screen to half
the height of the screen below the
bottom edge.

The aspect ratio of the images being input
is maintained, and the images are
projected into a 16:9 screen area.
If projecting images in 4:3 mode such as
normal TV broadcasts and computer
images, black bands will be displayed at
the left and right as shown in the
illustration at left.
If projecting HDTV images,
they will be projected in 16:9

Viewed using the projector
This is used when projecting images that
have been recorded in squeeze mode using
a video camera or DVD recorder.
When viewing images recorded in squeeze
format on a 4:3 TV, the images will
compressed in the horizontal direction and
elongated vertically. If squeeze mode is
selected for the projector, the images can
be projected in their original wide format
(16:9).
When the projector's squeeze
mode is applied
When images output in 4:3 format are
projected using the projector's squeeze
mode, the images will be extended
horizontally and the image will appear
elongated.
20
Letterbox imagesResized to 16:9
Images in letterbox mode from equipment
such as a DVD player will be cut at top
and bottom by a fixed amount and resized
to 16:9 format.
If this causes captions to be truncated from
images that have them, use the "Zoom
Caption" menu command to adjust. (p.33)
Page 26
Smart Zoom mode
4:3 image
Adjusting the Image Quality
Images in 4:3 format such as normal TV
broadcasts are extended horizontally, with
less elongation in the middle and more
elongation at the edges.
This is useful for when 4:3 images are
projected onto a wide screen. Because
there is almost no distortion due to
enlargement in the middle of the images,
the images appear close to what they
would be at their original size. And
because both ends of the images are
enlarged, movement at the edges of the
images appears faster and gives an
impression of greater speed, making it
ideal for viewing sporting events.
*If keystone correction has been carried
out, Smart Zoom mode cannot be
selected.
Basic Operations

If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720
dots or less, the images are projected onto
the screen with the input signal resolution
unchanged. Because of this, the size of the
displayed images will change depending
on the input resolution.
The picture quality will be the clearest for
portions of the image that have not been
resized horizontally or vertically.
If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720
dots or less, the input signal resolution is
elongated horizontally and the images are
projected at an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Because of this, the size of the displayed
images will change depending on the input
resolution.
The portions that are not vertically resized
will appear with higher image quality.

Adjusting flesh tones
The CB (color balance) Filter will be applied
automatically so that flesh tones will appear in natural
tints in accordance with the "Picture Mode" setting. If
you would like to adjust the flesh tones to your own
preference, use the "Flesh Tone" setting to adjust. If a
large value is set, flesh tones appear greenish, and if a
smaller value is set, flesh tones appear purplish.
RGB adjustment
The image brightness can be adjusted by adjusting the individual R (red), G (green) and B (blue) components
of the dark areas (offset), bright areas (gain) and intermediate areas (gamma) respectively. Because such
detailed adjustments are possible, images with greater depth can be obtained. (p.31)

108–1672 cm (3.6–54.9 ft.) for a screen size of 4:3. Set up the
projector so that the projection distance is within this range.
(Setup Guide)
Decrease the projection angle to reduce the amount of keystone
correction. (p.13)
If the projector is suddenly taken from a cold environment to a
warm environment or if sudden ambient temperature changes
occur, condensation may form on the surface of the lens, and this
may cause the images to appear fuzzy. Set the projector up in the
room approximately one hour before it is to be used. If
condensation forms, disconnect the power cord and let the
projector stand for a while.

control panel has been pressed to the projector off. Do not disconnect the power cord while cool-down
is in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool-down period is not
allowed to finish normally, the projector's lamp and internal components will remain at high
temperatures, and this may shorten the useful life of the lamp or cause problems with the operation of
the projector. The cool-down period lasts for about 30 seconds. The actual time will vary depending on
the external air temperature.

Connecting to a Computer
Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer
before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at
the time of connection, damage may result.
Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports
before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to
fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals,
damage to the connector or port may result.
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer,
or projection of images may not be possible even if actual
connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you intend
to use satisfies the conditions given below.
Condition 1: The computer must have a image signal output port.
Check that the computer has a port such as an RGB port, monitor port or video
port which can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if
using a laptop computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the
projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output
port. Refer to the OWNER'S MANUAL for your computer under a heading such
as "Connecting an external monitor" or similar for further details.
Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must
be listed in the "List of Supported Signal Resolutions".
Some computers may have functions for changing the output resolution. Refer to
the OWNER'S MANUAL for the computer and change the setting to within a
range given in the list of supported resolutions.
You may need to purchase a separate adapter to connect the computer
to the projector, depending on the shape of the computer's monitor
port. Refer to the OWNER'S MANUAL for the computer for details.
The optional Mac Adapter Set is required in order to connect the
projector to a Macintosh computer.
