B Overview  
light-reflecting material. If the floor and  
walls are of reflecting material, it is  
recommended that the carpet and wall  
paper be changed to a dark color.  
Precautions  
On safety  
• Check that the operating voltage of your  
unit is identical with the voltage of your  
local power supply.  
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into  
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it  
checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it further.  
On preventing internal heat build-  
up  
After you turn off the power with the I / 1  
key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall  
outlet while the cooling fan is still running.  
Caution  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is  
not to be used for several days.  
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the  
plug. Never pull the cord itself.  
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and  
easily accessible.  
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC  
power source (mains) as long as it is  
connected to the wall outlet, even if the  
unit itself has been turned off.  
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is  
on.  
• Do not place your hand or objects near the  
ventilation holes. The air coming out is  
hot.  
• Be careful not to have your fingers caught  
by the adjuster. The powered tilt adjuster  
of this unit automatically extends when the  
power is turned on, and is put away  
automatically when the power is turned  
off. Do not touch the unit while the  
adjuster is in operation. Adjust the  
powered tilt adjuster carefully after its  
automatic operation is completed.  
• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the  
unit.  
The projector is equipped with ventilation  
holes (intake) and ventilation holes  
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything  
near these holes, or internal heat build-up  
may occur, causing picture degradation or  
damage to the projector.  
On cleaning  
• To keep the cabinet looking new,  
periodically clean it with a soft cloth.  
Stubborn stains may be removed with a  
cloth lightly dampened with a mild  
detergent solution. Never use strong  
solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or  
abrasive cleansers, since these will  
damage the cabinet.  
• Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust  
on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use  
a damp cloth, detergent solution, or  
thinner.  
• Clean the filter at regular intervals.  
On LCD data projector  
• The LCD data projector is manufactured  
using high-precision technology. You  
may, however, see tiny black points and/or  
bright points (red, blue, or green) that  
continuously appear on the LCD data  
projector. This is a normal result of the  
manufacturing process and does not  
indicate a malfunction.  
On illumination  
• To obtain the best picture, the front of the  
screen should not be exposed to direct  
lighting or sunlight.  
• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is  
recommended. Use a cover over  
fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the  
contrast ratio.  
• Cover any windows that face the screen  
with opaque draperies.  
• It is desirable to install the projector in a  
room where floor and walls are not of

• To avoid moisture condensation, do not  
install the unit in a location where the  
temperature may rise rapidly.  
Notes on Installation  
and Usage  
Subject to direct cool or warm air  
from an air-conditioner  
Unsuitable Installation  
Do not install the projector in the following  
situations. These installations may cause a  
malfunction or damage to the projector.  
Installing in such a location may cause  
malfunction of the unit due to moisture  
condensation or rise in temperature.  
Poorly ventilated  
Near a heat or smoke sensor  
Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.  
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent  
internal heat build-up. Do not place the  
unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or  
near materials (curtains, draperies) that  
may block the ventilation holes. When the  
internal heat builds up due to the block-up,  
the temperature sensor will function with  
the message “High temp.! Lamp off in 1  
min.” The power will be turned off  
Very dusty, extremely smoky  
automatically after one minute.  
• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 /8  
7
inches) around the unit.  
• Be careful that the ventilation holes may  
inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.  
Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or  
extremely smoky environment. Otherwise,  
the air filter will become obstructed, and this  
may cause a malfunction of the unit or  
damage it. Dust preventing the air passing  
through the filter may cause a rise in the  
internal temperature of the unit. Clean the  
filter periodically.  
Highly heated and humid  
• Avoid installing the unit in a location  
where the temperature or humidity is very  
high, or temperature is very low.

Blocking the ventilation holes  
Unsuitable Conditions  
Do not use the projector under the following  
conditions.  
Toppling the unit  
Avoid using as the unit topples over on its  
side. It may cause malfunction.  
Avoid using something to cover over the  
ventilation holes (exhaust/intake);  
otherwise, the internal heat may build up.

Usage in High Altitude  
Tilting the unit out of the range of  
the adjuster setting  
When using the projector at an altitude of  
1,500 m or higher, turn on “High  
Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING  
menu. Failing to set this mode when using  
the projector at high altitudes could have  
adverse effects, such as reducing  
the reliability of certain components.  
Note on carrying the projector  
Avoid using when the unit is tilted out of the  
range of the adjuster setting. Such  
installation may cause color shading or  
shorten excessively the lamp life.  
The unit is manufactured using high-  
precision technology. When transporting the  
unit stored in the soft case, do not drop the  
unit or subject it to shock, as this may cause  
damage. When storing the unit in the soft  
case, disconnect the AC power cord and all  
other connecting cables, and store the  
supplied accessories in a pocket of the soft  
case.  
Tilting the unit to the right or left  
Note on the screen  
When using a screen with an uneven surface,  
stripes pattern may rarely appear on the  
screen depending on the distance between  
the screen and the projector or the zooming  
magnifications. This is not a malfunction of  
the projector.  
Avoid tilting the unit to an angle of 15°, and  
avoid installing the unit in any way other  
than placing on the floor or suspending from  
the ceiling. Such installation may cause  
color shading or shorten the lamp life  
excessively.

About the Preset Memory No.  
This projector has 32 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When a  
preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the  
data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory  
number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the INFORMATION menu (See  
page 38). You can also adjust the preset data through the INPUT SETTING menu.  
This projector has 20 types of user memories for INPUT-A into which you can save the  
setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal.  
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0.  
When you adjust the data of the signal in the INPUT SETTING menu, it will be registered  
to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always  
overwrites the oldest one.  
See the chart on page 50 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.  
Since the data is recalled from the preset memory about the following signals, you can use  
these preset data by adjusting “H Size.” Make fine adjustment by adjusting “Shift.”
