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.

Very dusty and extremely smoky  
locations  
Unsuitable installation  
Do not place the projector in the following  
situations, which may cause malfunction  
or damage to the projector.  
Poorly ventilated location  
Allow at least 30 cm (11 7/8 inches)  
between the projector and walls.  
Hot and humid  
Locations subject to direct cool or  
warm air from an air-conditioner  
Installing the projector in such a location  
may cause a malfunction of the unit due to

About the Preset Memory No.  
This projector has 39 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the  
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  
You can also adjust the preset data through the Screen menu.  
menu.  
This projector also has 20 types of user memories for Input-A mainly for the computer  
signal into which you can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal,  
respectively.  
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 Screen  
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 63 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.  
Note  
When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen is displayed in black.

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.)
