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.

ꢀ

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.

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.

Important Information

(3) Upward or downward projection:

When using the projector in an upward projection angle, allow 1 m/ 40 inches or

greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.

When using the projector in a downward projection angle, allow 0.5 m/ 20 inches or

greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.

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.

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.

ꢃReplacing 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.

Note:

The filters on the side and the rear are located on the bottom.

Gently slide the filter

covers in the direction

shown.

Lift the foam from all

three filters in the

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

Common Problems and Solutions

These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the

projector. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.

Often the problem is something as simple as a loose connection. Check the following

before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.

•

Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.

Ensure the projector is turned on.

Ensure all connections are securely attached.

Ensure the attached device is turned on.

Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode.

Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display.

(This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)

Tips for Troubleshooting

In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you

to solve the problem more quickly.

Try to pinpoint the problem to avoid replacing non-defective parts.

For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries

back and go to the next step.

Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be use-

ful when calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

ꢈOperation 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:
