Safety Precaution  
• The product should be placed more than one foot away from  
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and  
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventila-  
tion.These ensure reliable operation of the product and pro-  
tect it from overheating.These openings must not be blocked  
or covered. (The openings should never be blocked by plac-  
ing the product on bed, sofa,rug, or similar surface. It should  
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or  
rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the manufac-  
turer’s instructions have been adhered to.)  
• When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and per-  
sonal computers, you should turn off the power of this prod-  
uct for protection against electric shock.  
• Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For exam-  
ple, cloth, paper, matches, aerosol cans or gas lighters that  
present special hazards when over heated.  
For proper ventilation, separate the product from other equip-  
ment, which may prevent ventilation and keep a distance of  
more than 11-7/8” (30 cm).  
• Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination lamp  
is turned on. Exposure of your eyes to the stronglight can  
result in impaired eyesight.  
• This product should be operated only with the type of power  
source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type  
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or  
local power company.  
• Do not look into the inside of this unit through vents (ventila-  
tion holes), etc. Do not look at the illumination lamp directly  
by opening the cabinet while the illumination lamp is turned  
on. The illumination lamp also contains ultraviolet rays and  
the light is so powerful that your eyesight can be impaired.  
• This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug  
will fit only into a grounded power outlet. If you are unable to  
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to in-  
stall the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of  
the grounded plug.

ries.  
• Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not  
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or  
against them.Pay particular attention to cords at doors, plugs,  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.  
• For added protection of this product during a lightning storm,  
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of  
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable  
system.This will prevent damage to the product due to light-  
ning and power line surges.  
• The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high pres-  
sure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the light-  
source lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult your dealer.  
• Do not “ceiling-mount” the projector to a place which tends  
to vibrate; otherwise, the attaching fixture of the projector  
could be broken by the vibration, possibly causing it to fall or  
overturn, which could lead to personal injury.  
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience  
receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of  
fire or electric shock.  
• Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to pre-  
vent shock.  
• Never push objects of any kind into this product through open-  
ings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short  
out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.

trast on a screen. The video image could be burnt into the  
D-ILA device.  
● Dirt in the cabinet  
Please wipe the cabinet clean with a soft cloth. In case of  
heavy soiling, please wipe it with a damp cloth soaked with a  
neutral detergent.  
● Since the cabinet may in time, get damaged or deteriorate in  
condition, (eg. peeling paint):  
• Do not wipe with a stiff cloth.  
Use special care when projecting video games or computer  
program images.  
There is no problem with ordinary video cassette playback  
images.  
• Do not wipe with force.  
• Do not wipe with thinner or benzene.  
• Do not spray chemicals like insecticide.  
Viewing conditions  
• Do not allow it to come into contact with rubber or vinyl ma-  
terials for an extended period of time.  
● Brightness of the room

screen. Images can only be well projected if the room is dark.  
● Cleaning the lens  
Please use lens-cleaning paper (for cleaning spectacles, cam-  
eras etc) sold in the market for cleaning.  
● Do not view the screen continually for a long time  
Looking at the screen continually for a long time will cause  
your eyes to be tired. Please rest your eyes sometimes.  
Please do not use liquid-type cleansers as it may cause the  
coating mask on the surface to peel off.  
● Image flicker due to installation condition or the environment  
Please do not view flickering images for too long as this causes  
poor eyesight.  
Please do not knock the surface of the lens as it damages  
easily.  
Using the screen mode switch function  
• This projector is equipped with a screen mode switch function that sets the screen size (aspect ratio and resize). If the setted  
screen aspect ratio and size differs from that of the inputted images (eg images from TV programs), the projected image  
screen will differ from the original. Please bear this in mind when you choose the screen mode.  
• Please keep in mind that making use of the screen mode switch function to alter screen images(aspect ratio and resize) in  
restaurants/ hotels etc, for public viewing, in the pursuit of profit may constitute an infringement of the Copyright Act.

Beware of the following:  
• Do not mix new and old batteries.  
• Do not mix different types of batteries as they are differ-  
ent in characteristics.  
• Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated on  
the cartridge.  
• Be sure to insert the minus · end in first to avoid short-  
circuiting.  
• Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them.  
• Use only designated batteries.  
• Remove the batteries if the remote control is not to be  
used for a prolonged period.  
2. Load the batteries  
Battery Life  
Place the two supplied batteries (AA/R6-size) into the re-  
mote control as illustrated below. To prevent short circuit,  
be sure to insert the minus · end of the battery first.  
Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use.How-  
ever, the batteries supplied are for confirming operation and  
may not run that long. When the remote control starts fail-  
ing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones.  
Battery Leakage  
When the batteries are totally exhausted and can no longer  
be used, replace them immediately.  
Leaving the batteries in the battery compartment causes  
battery leakage which in turn causes malfunction.  
Further, in cases where the leakage comes to contact with  
the skin, wipe it away with a cloth, otherwise skin problems  
may occur.  
3. Close the back cover  
Close the back cover by inserting the end first and press-  
ing down until a click is heard.

Installing the Projector  
Precautions for Installation  
Please read the following properly when installing the projector.  
Installation Environment  
Precaution for Usage  
Please do not install or use this projector in the follow-  
ing places as it is a precision device.This could cause  
fire or a malfunction.  
This projector uses a light-source lamp which becomes  
high in temperature when projecting.  
Please DO NOT use it in the following ways as it may  
result in fire or malfunction.  
• Where there is water, humidity or dust.  
• Where the projector may be subjected to oil, smoke or  
cigarette smoke.  
• Lay the projector on its side when projecting.  
• Project outside the specified angle.  
• On a soft surface such as a carpet or cushion  
• Where the projector may be subjected to direct sunlight.  
• Where temperature is high or low.  
Do not use the projector while it is set more than 5˚  
horizontally (left/right), or more than 25˚ vertically (up/  
down). This could cause color variation or shorten the  
lamp life.  
Allowable operation temperature range : +5˚C to +35˚C  
Allowable relative humidity range  
: 20% to 80%  
(no condensa-  
tion)  
• Block the exhaust vents.  
Allowable storage temperature range : –10˚C to +60˚C  
• Any room in which there is smoke and grease.  
Even where smoke and grease level is minimal, prolonged  
exposure would affect the projector. The projector emits  
heat and cools the optical components down by taking in  
large amount of air. When the optical path is soiled by  
grease/dirt, images become dark and color projection de-  
teriorates, such often being the cause of damage. Re-  
moving grease/dirt totally from the optical parts is not pos-  
sible.  
Minimum Space Required  
Do not use a cover which may enclose the projector  
air-tight or block the exhaust vents. Allow sufficient  
space around the projector. When the projector is en-  
closed in a space of the following dimensions, use an  
air conditioner so that internal and external tempera-  
tures are the same.

Up to approximately 30˚ upward  
and downward from the horizon-  
tal line.  
Mounting the Projector  
When mounting of the projector is required, do it using the embedded three screw holes (M6 nuts) at the bottom of the projector.  
Precaution for ceiling-mount  
• To ceiling-mount and adjust the projector, special exper-  
tise and techniques are necessary. Be sure to ask your  
dealer or specialist to perform the work.  
• Do not mount on places that will be subjected to knocks  
and vibrations.  
• As the depth of the screw holes is 10mm, use screws  
shorter than 10mm but longer than 6mm. Otherwise, the  
screws will damage the internal parts of the projector  
causing malfunction.

Projection Distance and Screen Size  
• This projector uses 1.3x manual zoom lens for projection.  
• The range of projection for good focus is approximately 1.6m to approximately 12m when the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3.  
Install the projector within this range.  
• If the KEYSTONE is adjusted, the screen becomes smaller. (☞ page 30)

The video signal output port is generally called ‘RGB port’, ‘monitor port’, or ‘video port’. In the case where the computer  
comes with a build-in monitor or a notebook, the external output port may need to be purchased. Also, note that an external  
output port cannot be installed in some computers.  
• The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page 20.  
Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range.  
A video signal out of the range cannot be used. (Out of range signals can be projected but the image may not turn out sharp.  
On the other hand, even signals within the range may require adjustments, depending on the video board used.)  
When signals other than those listed in the table on page 19 are input, the image could be partially erased or unwanted  
folds-over the image could appear.  
Some signals within the frequency range may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal. Composite  
sync (Cs) and G on Sync signals cannot be handled depending on the devices connected.

Replacing the Lamp  
The light source lamp and its lamp time  
The light-source lamp has a service life. The life of the lamp currently used for this projector is about 2000 hours.  
[Average lamp life: 2000 hours].  
When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, deterioration progresses rapidly. Please replace with a new lamp  
when the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours or at least get a replacement lamp ready. Further, depending on the operat-  
ing conditions, the lamp may have to be changed earlier. If the image remains dark or the tone, unusual, even after adjustment,  
please exchange the lamp as soon as possible. In addition, you can check the accumulated used hours of the lamp. Please see the  
“Lamp Time” item on the “Information” menu on page 40.  
Please purchase the new lamp unit from the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector.  
Exchange lamp Part No.: BHL5006-S  
Ⅵ When lamp time exceeds 1000 hours:  
When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1000, a message  
indicating “1000 hr“ will appear on the projected screen.  
* Press any key to delete the message.  
Ⅵ When the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours:  
The lamp indicator on the projector blinks.  
“Warning” and “Lamp replacement” appears on the screen;  
the word “Warning” blinks.  
❈ To cancel the message, press the EXIT button.  
However, the same message will appear again every one-  
hour.  
❈ Once the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours, and the projec  
tor is either put on the standby state or turned off, projec  
tion will not be possible again until the lamp is replaced  
and the “Lamp time” is reset. (☞ page 45)  
Ⅵ When lamp time exceeds 1900 hours.  
• When the accumulated lamp time reaches 1900 hours:  
The LAMP indicator on the projector lights up.  
• When the accumulated lamp time exceeds 1900 hours:  
“Lamp replacement” appears on the screen.  
* Press any button to delete the message.  
Ⅵ When the lamp time exceeds 2010 hours:  
The projector is forcibly shut off.  
The LAMP and OPERATE indicators blink on the projector.  
❈ The projector does not turn on unless the lamp (lamp unit)  
is replaced and the “Lamp time” is reset. (☞ page 45)  
About lamp replacement  
● If the projector is set in a constricted place, performance of the replacement work there could cause injury.Move the projector  
to a place large enough to work on replacing the lamp.  
● Use a genuine product for the lamp. If you use one other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction. Also, never  
use an old lamp. This could cause marked performance deterioration or lamp blow-out leading to projector malfunction.  
Further, the broken pieces of glass from the lamp may cause injuries.  
● Do not replace the lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the lamp unit is still high and  
could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before replacement.  
● Before embarking on the lamp replacement work, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet while the STAND BY  
indicator is on. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord connected, this could cause injury or electric shock.  
The procedure for lamp replacement  
1.  
Loosen the screws and detach the light-source lamp cover.  
Loosen the two screws with a ª screwdriver.  
Handle  
2.  
Loosen the screws and lift up the handle.

Replacing the Lamp  
3.  
Remove the lamp unit.  
Lamp unit  
4.  
Insert the new lamp unit fully in.  
Caution  
Neither touch the glass surface of the lamp directly  
with your hand nor stain it. If you touch it with a bare  
hand, oil and other substances on your hand may ad-  
here to the lamp, possibly preventing it from perform-  
ing as specified and therefore leading to a shortened  
lamp life, a darkened screen, etc.  
5.  
6.  
Close the handle, and tighten the screw.  
Tighten the two screws with a ª screwdriver.  
Attach the light-source lamp cover and tighten  
the screw.  
Tighten the two screws with a ª screwdriver.  
Note  
When closing the lamp cover, please insert the left  
side (with the two claws) in first and then ensure that  
the protruding part found on the reverse side of the  
cover fits snugly into the hole of the main unit. As this  
protrusion acts as a switch, misfitting leads to power  
not being able to flow in.

Cleaning and Replacing the Filter  
Clean the filter regularly or it may not work satisfactorily, causing damage. If the filter is extremely dirty and cannot be cleaned, or  
if it is damaged, replace the filter with a new one (Lower filter: LC32087-001/ Inner filter:LC32058-001). Otherwise, dirt may get  
inside and appear on the screen, preventing you from enjoying the video fully. If dirt has gotten in or if you need information about  
the filter, please consult the authorized dealer where you purchased the projector.  
❈ The air inlet filter on the right side cannot be removed. Please clean this filter regularly using eg, a vacuum cleaner.
