Important Information  
If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:  
Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.  
The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper  
operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.  
In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the in-  
stallation must be in accordance with any local building codes.  
Please consult your dealer for more information.  
CAUTION:  
When shipping the projector, remove the optional lens beforehand. The lens  
and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper

Important Information  
Fire and Shock Precautions  
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent  
the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space be-  
tween your projector and a wall.  
Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated  
while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned  
off.  
Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your  
projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do  
not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your project. If some-  
thing should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object  
removed by qualified service personnel.  
Do not place any objects on top of the projector.  
Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical  
shock or fire.  
The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz.  
Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your  
projector.  
Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could  
result.  
Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The  
light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal ob-  
jects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome  
such as fire or injury to the eyes.  
Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on.  
Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the  
heat emitted from the light output.  
Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector  
lens or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting  
your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust.  
Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause elec-  
tric shock or fire.  
Do not use any power cables other than the one supplied by NEC.  
Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.  
Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.  
Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.  
Do not heat the power cable  
Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

Important Information  
Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by  
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.  
If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or  
water.  
If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions  
described in this user's manual.  
If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for  
service.  
Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.  
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for  
an extended period of time.  
When using a LAN cable:  
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might  
have excessive voltage.  
Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or re-  
placing the lamp.  
CAUTION:  
Always carry your projector by using the carrying handle.  
Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses  
such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projec-  
tor can cause damage to the projector.  
Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo  
shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.  
Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the pro-  
jector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of  
the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.  
To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a  
power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.  
The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned  
off.  
Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated  
while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned  
off.  
Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and  
while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature  
lamp failure.  
Do not place your hands near the lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting  
the lens could pinch your fingers or hands causing injury.

Important Information  
Remote Control Precautions  
Handle the remote control carefully.  
If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.  
Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.  
If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.  
Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.  
Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.  
Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.  
Lamp Replacement  
To replace either of the lamps, follow all instructions provided on page 112.  
Be sure to replace the lamp when the following is displayed on the screen:  
If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the  
lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not  
touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.  
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.  
Important Lamp Characteristic  
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.  
A characteristic of mercury lamps is that brightness gradually decreases with age. Also  
repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of reduced brightness.  
CAUTION:  
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no  
one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been  
burned out.  
CAUTION:  
In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during normal operation and cause  
glass dust or shards to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent.  
Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in  
injury.

Important Information  
[Important 1] Operating the Lamp Continuously  
If using the projector continuously for a long period, use of the menu (OSD) is recom-  
mended in order to properly cycle the lamps as described below.  
To use the projector continuously in the dual lamp mode  
Allow 2 hours per day of non usage time per lamp. Do this for both lamps at the same  
time or for “Lamp 1” and “Lamp 2” at separate 2 hour intervals.  
To use the projector continuously in single lamp mode  
Use the two lamps (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) alternately in a cycle of 24 hours or less.  
Allow 2 hours or longer per day of no-use time for each lamp.  
Contact your dealer for more details.  
Note:  
If using the menu, select "Off" for "Lamp Interval" from the on-screen menu  
(see page 82).

Important Information  
[Important 2] Clearance for Installing the Projector  
Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below.  
Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed  
at the projector.  
Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens,  
the temperature inside the projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature pro-  
tector to automatically turn off the projectors power.  
Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector.  
Note:  
The drawing shows the  
proper clearance required  
for the front, back and top of  
the projector.  
Example 2 – If there is a wall behind the projector.  
(1) For floor installation:  
Note:  
The drawing shows the  
proper clearance required  
for the back, sides and top  
of the projector.  
(2) For ceiling mounting:  
Note:  
1. The drawing shows the  
proper clearance required  
for the front, sides, back and  
bottom of the projector.  
2. If suspending the projec-  
tor 30 cm/12 inches away  
from the ceiling, allow ample  
clearance for all four sides  
and the under the projector.

1. Introduction  
Important:  
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-  
frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.  
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projec-  
tor. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the  
remote signal off certain reflective surfaces such as projector screens.  
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corre-  
sponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the  
functions based on the remote control.  
Note:  
*To turn off the projector, press the Power OFF button twice.  
**To turn on the projector, press and hold the Power On button for a minimum of  
two seconds.

1. Introduction  
Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control  
The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and  
within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.  
The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the  
sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote  
control from properly operating the projector.  
Remote Control Precautions  
The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.  
Handle the remote control carefully.  
If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.  
Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.  
For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries.  
Ensure that the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.  
Do not use new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries to-  
gether.  
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

age can occur if the projector falls to the ground.  
Do not use the projector in an environment where extreme temperature  
occurs. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41 degrees  
Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees  
Celsius).  
CAUTION  
Screen damage will occur if the projector is exposed to moisture, dust or  
smoke.  
Do not cover the vents on the projector. Proper ventilation is required to  
dissipate heat. Damage to the projector will occur if the vents are cov-  
ered.

2. Installation and Connections  
r Replacing Color Wheel  
The NP4100/NP4100W projector comes with a four-segment color wheel installed. An addi-  
tional six-segment color wheel comes included. To replace the color wheel (located under the  
lamp cover adjacent to lamp 1) refer to the following guide.  
Note:  
• Before replacing the color wheel, be sure to turn off the projector, wait until the  
cooling fans stop, and turn off the main power switch.  
• Wait until the lamp house and the color wheel cool off.  
• Do not touch the disk of the color wheel. Doing so may scratch the disk or leave  
fingerprints, causing the image quality to degrade.  
• Heed the following information if you own two or more NP4100/NP4100W  
projectors:  
When replacing or re-installing the color wheel, the original color wheel pre-  
installed or supplied as an accessory must go back to its original projector. Your  
color wheel and projector color wheel cover are given an identification number. Be  
sure to use the color wheel pre-installed or supplied with your projector to match  
its identification number.  
If you remove a color wheel from one NP4100/NP4100W projector and re-install it  
into another NP4100/NP4100W projector, performance may be compromised.  
• Be sure turn off the main power switch before replacing the color wheel. Failure  
to do so may result in electrical shock or damage to the projector, and cause an ir-  
regular color of the projected image.  
Loosen the captive  
screw (A) on the lamp  
cover.  
1.  
Remove the lamp cover  
by sliding in the direc-  
tion of the arrow (B).

2. Installation and Connections  
Making Connections  
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer  
Enabling the computer’s external display  
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs  
a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function  
keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the Fn-key  
along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For  
example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to  
toggle through external display selections.  
To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to the projector, refer to the following guide.  
1. Connect a computer to the projector through one of the three available input data  
connections before turning on the PC or the projector. The best signal order  
(from best to least suitable) is as follows:

requirements. Select High Altitude when using the projector at altitudes ap-  
proximately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher. The built-in fans run at a high  
speed.

projector. Select Horizontal for angles of range from 45° to 315° and from  
135° to 225° indicated in gray. Select Vertical for the other angle ranges.  
When the projector is mounted on the ceiling at the installation angles  
from 45° to 135°, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass  
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.  
CAUTION  
Note:  
Set Fan Mode to High Altitude when using the projector at altitudes approxi-  
mately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher.  
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher  
without setting to High Altitude can cause the projector to overheat and the protec-  
tor could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the  
projector.  
Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters  
and setting to High Altitude can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to  
flicker.  
Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5000 feet/1500 meters or higher  
can shorten the life of optical components such as the lamp.  
Your setting will not be affected even when Reset is done from the menu.

6. Maintenance  
Cleaning the Filters  
The projector uses three filters to keep the fans free of dust and other particles, and  
should be cleaned every 500 hours of operation. In dustier environments, it is recom-  
mended to clean the filters more frequently. If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector  
may overheat. When the message below is displayed the filters must be cleaned.  
Note:  
When the Please clean filter message is displayed, please clean or replace  
all three filters at the same time to synchronize the hours used display.  
The Filter Message item should be enabled in the Options menu. Refer to Op-  
tions on page 100.  
Refer to the following guide to clean the filters.

6. Maintenance  
Replacing Consumable Parts  
During the course of normal usage, consumable parts become worn out resulting in reduced  
performance. The following guides detail how to replace the various consumable parts within  
the projector quickly and safely.  
Before replacing any of the parts, please take note of the following:  
Ensure that the projector is turned off and disconnected from the power supply.  
Ensure that the projector is in a clean, stable position before replacing parts.  
Allow at least one hour after shutdown for the projector to cool before attempting to  
replace any consumable parts.  
Do not interchange Lamp 1 and Lamp 2 after the projector has been used once.  
Doing so will not allow the projector to display the correct lamp usage hours.  
A minimum space is required for replacement. See pages 27 and 111 for more de-  
tails.  
Replacing the Filters  
When the lamps are replaced, the filters should also be replaced, not cleaned.  
Refer to the following guide to replace the filters.  
CAUTION:  
Do not drop the projector on your hand or fingers while lifting the projector to  
replace the filters. Doing so could injure your hand or fingers.

6. Maintenance  
Replacing the Lamps  
When a lamp reaches the end of it’s usable life, the following message is displayed. Re-  
place the lamp.  
The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be re-  
placed with a certified replacement part (NP12LP), contact your local dealer if unsure.  
Note:  
1. Lamps are positioned differently. Take care not to force the lamps when replac-  
ing.  
2. Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate  
the projector in dual or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed,  
the projector's lamp will not turn on and will appear as a lamp failure  
3. Lamps last approximately 2000-2100 hours (3000-3100 hours in Eco mode)  
and the End of lamp life message is displayed during the lamps' final 100 hours of  
operational life. Please replace during 2000-2100 hour.  
Important:  
1. The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of ac-  
cording to local ordinance regulations.  
2. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: doing so may shorten its op-  
eration life.  
3. If the lamp’s useful life ends and projector could not turn on over 2100 hours,  
please have the projector serviced.  
Note:  
The projector turns off and goes into standby mode after 2100 hours (up to 3100  
hours in Eco mode) of service. In this condition you cannot clear the lamp hour  
meter using the menu. Should this condition exist, press the HELP button on the  
remote control for 10 seconds to reset the lamp clock back to zero.  
Ensure the lamp is replaced before performing this operation.

Operation Using HTTP Browser  
Overview  
The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser  
without the installation of special software. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Ex-  
plorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser. (This device uses “JavaScript” and  
“Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method  
will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other  
information provided in your software).  
Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying the following address in the  
entry column of the URL:  
http:// <the projector’s IP address> /index.html  
http:// <the projector's IP address> /lanconf.html  
Note:  
The display or button responses can be slowed down or operation may not be ac-  
cepted depending the settings of your network. Should this happen, consult your  
network administrator. The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly  
pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you  
still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.  
Preparation Before Use  
Make network connections, set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before  
engaging in browser operations (see Network Settings on page 93 for more information).  
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on  
the type of proxy server and the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be  
a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be displayed  
depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may  
not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it  
is unavoidable.  
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser  
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL col-  
umn when operation of the projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is  
when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been regis-  
tered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name  
corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the  
computer being used.  
Example 1:  
When the host name of the projector has been set to pj.nec.co.jp,  
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL.  
Example 2:

When the IP address of the projector is 192.168.73.1, access is gained to the HTTP  
server functions by specifying http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the en-  
try column of the URL.
