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.
• 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.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
After you turn off the power with the I/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
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 repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.

Making Fine Adjustments to the Horizontal
Picture Position
Tools you need to get started
Phillips screwdriver: 110 mm (4 3/8 inches) or longer
Flat-head screwdriver: 110 mm (4 3/8 inches) or longer
Note
For details on how to make fine adjustments of the horizontal picture position, consult with qualified
personnel. When the lens is scratched, there is a charge for repair.
Also, do not look into the lens while you are adjusting the picture position.
You can adjust the lens position right or left by about 1 mm from the center of the lens.
1 Remove the ring (washer) attached around the lens by turning it
counterclockwise.
2 Loosen the four screws located at the position indicated with an arrow
by turning them counterclockwise with a Philips screwdriver.

3 Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the lens adjustment groove located at
the left bottom (when the projector projects the image when placed on
the floor, on a desk, etc.), and turn it in the direction in which you want
to move the lens.
If you turn it to the left, the lens moves to the left, and if you turn it to the right, the
lens moves to the right. (The range of movement is approximately 1mm.)

and tighten them to fix the lens in place.
