Improper operation may result in not only shortening the product-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this manual again, check operations and cable connections and try
the solutions in the Troubleshooting section at the end of this manual. If the problem still persists, contact the sales
dealer where you purchased the projector or the service center.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before
the product is operated.
This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later
use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply before
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord
may be damaged by persons walking on it.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
For added protection to the projector during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
due to lightning and power line surges.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the projector to normal operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance-this indicates a need for service.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask
the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked by
placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation

Computer Adjustment (Manual)
This projector can automatically tune to the display signals from most personal computers currently distributed. However,
some computers employ special signal formats which are different from the standard ones and may not be tuned by Multi-
Scan system of this projector. If this happens, the projector cannot reproduce a proper image and the image may be
recognized as a flickering picture, a non-synchronized picture, a non-centered picture, or a skewed picture.
This projector has a manual computer adjustment to enable you to precisely adjust several parameters to match with those
special signal formats. This projector has 5 independent memory areas to memorize those parameters manually adjusted.
This enables you to recall the setting for a specific computer whenever you use it.

LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper
handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
G Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no
guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a
shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
G If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE INDICATOR
lights up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.
( Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual. ) Continuous use
of the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE INDICATOR lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
G A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its
lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in
which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an
authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out
from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one
should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are
familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who
are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken
glass.

Air Filter Care and Cleaning
The removable Air filter prevents dust from accumulating on the surface of the projection lens and projection mirror. Should
the Air filter become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce the cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat
build up and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the Air filter by following the steps below.
Turn off the projector, and disconnect AC Power Cord from the
AC outlet.

AIR INTAKE VANTS
Clean the Air intake vents with a vacuum cleaner at the same time.
CAUTION
Do not operate the projector with the Air filter removed.
Dust may accumulate on the LCD panels and the projection
mirror degrading picture quality.
Do not put small parts into the Air intake vents. It may result
in malfunction of the projector.
Operating Environment
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when operating a projector.
When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate on the lens, liquid crystal panels, or optical elements
inside the projector. This condition may degrade the quality of a projected image and the life of the projector.
When the above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Cleaning the Projection Lens
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens.
Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cleaning cloth. Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner.
Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch a surface.
