IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
Moisture Condensation  
Never operate this unit immediately after moving it from a cold location to a warm location.  
When the unit is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the  
lens and the crucial internal parts. Do not use the unit for at least ꢀ hours when there is an  
extreme or sudden change in temperature to prevent the unit from possible damage.  
Place and Manner of Installation  
• Do not place in hot locations, such as near heating equipment. Doing so could cause  
malfunction, and shorten the life of the projector.  
• Avoid locations with oil or cigarette smoke. Doing so will dirty the optical parts, shortening  
their lives, and darkening the screen.  
• Do not use this product in the upright position or tilt it up or down by more than ꢀ0° from  
level. Doing so may cause a failure or shorten the life of the product.  
• Using this instrument near a TV or radio may cause interference to the images or audio  
sound. If this happens, move it away from the TV or radio.  
• Moving the projector from a low-temperature room to a high-temperature room may cause  
condensation on the lens or internal parts. If you continue to use it in that situation, it may  
malfunction. Wait until the condensation naturally disappears.  
• In a high altitude location where air is thin, cooling efficiency is reduced so use the  
projector with [Fan mode] set to [High].  
Only plug the power cord into outlets rated for use with the power cord’s specified voltage range.  
Do not overload extension cords or power strips as this can result in fire or electric shock.  
• Route the power cable or the connecting cable away from where people could trip over it.  
The projector may fall down, which could result in severe injury.  
• Be sure the power cord is easily reached for unplugging in case of emergency. Do not  
place any obstacles near a wall outlet in which the cord is plugged.  
Avoid Volatile Liquid  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as an insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or  
plastic products touching the unit for a long time as they will leave marks on the finish.  
Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS (Continued)  
LCD Panel  
• If the air filter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a  
result, the life of the LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur.  
Clean the air filter from time to time and replace it regularly. It is recommended that this  
replacement be done at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask your sales representative  
where the unit was purchased or your nearby service station about an air filter for  
replacement.)

WARNING  
Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
when placing the unit. Attempting to clean and replace the lamp in a high location  
by yourself may cause you to fall, resulting in injury.  
If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your sales  
representative before doing so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special  
ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting  
could cause the projector to fall, possibly resulting in injury and damage, to the unit.  
If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in  
case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Basic operations (Continued)  
Precautions  
Lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.  
The LCD panel is made using extremely advanced technology. There may be black spots  
(pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. These  
are intrinsic characteristics of the technology and are not malfunctions.  
Notes  
• A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and  
the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The  
lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)  
• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals  
, any resolutions  
not supported by this projector (XGA for X3131/X3ꢀ41, WXGA for WX3131) will be  
expanded or shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images,  
set the computer’s external output to XGA for X3131/X3ꢀ41, WXGA for WX3131.  
• With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images  
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from  
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information  
on how to turn off the LCD display, see the computer’s owner’s manual.  
• If no signal is being input from the connected equipment or signal input is stopped while  
projecting, the “No signal” message will appear.  
• If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupported signal” message  
will appear.  
• If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the  
icon will appear with a beep sound  
(if the beep sound is set to [On]).  
• Moving pictures played back on computers using DVD software may appear unnatural  
when projected with this projector. However, it is not a malfunction of the projector.  
LCD Panels  
LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the  
following precautions.  
• In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in  
use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at  
saving electricity.  
• If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise,  
shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. We recommend  
• If the air filter becomes damaged, replace it. Contact your sales representative for a  
new filter. If you continue to use the projector when its filter is damaged, dust and dirt  
will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.

Using handy features  
Remote  
control  
Using auto setting (For computer input only)  
This function automatically sets up the projector to the optimum state. It  
sets up sampling phase, frequency and screen position, for each type  
of the input signal by using simple operations.  
Press the remote control’s AUTO SET button.  
The  
icon will appear during processing.  
You can set as well by selecting [Auto setting] in the Image

Notes  
• The image may not be projected or auto adjustment/setting may not be performed  
correctly for input signals other than those supported by the projector  
• If auto setting fails adjustment, adjust manually with [Position] in the Image  
adjustment menu  
Correcting the keystone distortion  
When the projector placement angle against the screen is changed while projecting the  
image, the picture will undergo keystone (trapezoidal) distortion.  
This projector is capable of correcting this keystone distortion.  
Before correction  
After correction  
• The keystone distortion will be corrected automatically based on the projector’s  
placement angle.  
Adjusting Keystone distortion Manually  
Use the  
buttons for keystone adjustment.  
Remote  
control  
Control panel  
Notes  
• Depending on the amount of keystone adjustment  
and the content of images, some information may  
be lost, or the picture quality may suffer.  
• Even if [Auto keystone] is set to [On], keystone  
distortion can be adjusted manually. Note that if  
you change the position or angle of the projector,  
automatic keystone correction will be performed  
again.  
When [Auto keystone] is set to [On], the automatic keystone correction will be  
performed each time the power is turned on.  
The keystone correction settings are memorized after the power has been turned off.  
Therefore, it is recommended that you set [Auto keystone] to [Off], if the case is that  
the projector placement angle against the screen remains unchanged and you do not  
wish to change the keystone adjustment that you set.

Maintenance  
Lamp replacement  
A lamp is consumable supplies. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark,  
and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The  
lifetime of the lamp depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.  
WARNING  
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is recommended to use your sales  
representative when the lamp has to be exchanged.  
Uncovering the lamp while the projector is mounted on a ceiling may lead to a danger  
of damage from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken. Besides, working at high  
elevations can also be hazardous. Do not attempt to replace the lamp by yourself.  
When replacing, always use lamp “PJ Replacement Lamp Type1” (sold  
separately).  
If the lamp other than the specified one is used, it may cause a malfunction or  
damage to the unit due to the difference in the connector shape or the lamp rate.  
CAUTION  
If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause  
burn injuries.  
Wait for the lamp to cool (for longer than 1 hour) before replacing it.  
If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken  
pieces and contact your sales representative for repair service.

• Please replace the lamp after ꢀ000 hours of use with [Lamp power] in the Default  
setting 1 menu set to [Standard], and 3000 hours of use with [Lamp power] in the  
Default setting 1 menu set to [Low].  
• There are cases that the lamp can not work before the above mentioned period expires  
or before the replacement message is displayed.  
• Attach the outer lamp cover correctly so that it is not loose. If it is not attached correctly,  
the projector may fail to be powered on or the lamp may fail to come on.  
• Always replace the lamp with a new one.  
• The lamp is made out of glass. Do not touch the glass surface with your bare hands,  
bang it, or scratch it. (Dirt, jolts, scratches and the like could break the lamp.)  
About lamp replacement messages  
• The lamp replacement message of this projector displays an appropriate  
period according to the use period for [Standard] / [Low] of the [Lamp power]  
respectively.  
• When the replacement time approaches, the message of “The lamp life is ending.  
Please change the lamp.is displayed every time the power is turned on. This

Air filter cleaning  
The air filter prevents dust and debris from getting inside the projector. Never run the pro-  
jector with the filter removed. It is recommended that the air filter is cleaned regularly.  
• The message “Check the air filter for dirt.is displayed every 100 hours. (If the usage time  
exceeds 100 hours, this message is displayed for about 30 seconds when the image is  
displayed for the first time after power is turned on. This display will be dismissed with any  
operation.)  
• Check out the filter and any debris is found, use the following procedure for cleaning.  
WARNING  
Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your sales  
representative.  
1
2
Unplug power cord.  
Remove the air filter.  
Pull out the air filter by holding the release knob  
with your fingers as shown in the figure.  
3
4
Clean the filter.  
Carefully remove the dust and dirt from the air filter  
with a vacuum cleaner or the like.  
Replace the air filter.  
Insert the air filter firmly until you hear a click.  
Notes  
• When dirt and dust build up in the air filter, the air circulation inside the projector is  
affected and the internal temperature will rise, causing the projector to stop working or  
malfunction.  
• Push the air filter fully in. If the projector is used with the air filter only partially inserted,  
dust and dirt will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or  
break down.  
• If you wash the air filer with water, make sure to dry it completely before replacing it.  
• If the air filter becomes damaged, replace it. Contact your sales representative for a new  
filter. If you continue to use the projector when its filter is damaged, dust and dirt will enter  
the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.

representative. Attempting to clean or replace the lamp in a high location by yourself  
may cause you to fall, resulting in injury.  
Lens cleaning  
• Clean the lens with a commercially available blower  
and/or lens cleaner.  
• The lens is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard  
objects, or strike it.  
Main unit cleaning  
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the main unit.  
• Wipe dirt off the main unit gently with a soft cloth.  
• Do not wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Doing  
so may allow water to get inside, resulting in an  
electric shock or unit failure.  
• Do not use benzene, thinner and the like as they  
may deform or discolor the unit or damage the paint  
surface.  
• Do not use a chemically saturated cloth.
