Connecting Your Devices
WARNING
Incorrect connecting could result in fire or electrical shock. Whenever attempting to connect other
devices to the projector, please thoroughly read the "PJ510 QUICK START GUIDE", this manual
and the manual of each device to be connected.
CAUTION
TURN OFF ALL DEVICES prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a live
device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result
in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
ATTENTION
• Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result in
malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector. Refer to the section “Technical” of
this manual for the pin assignment of connectors and RS-232C communication data.
• Some cables have to be used with core set. Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable
for the connection. For cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
• Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to activate the
laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and
CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the
corresponding laptop computer.
NOTE:
About Plug-and-Play Capability
• This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 1/2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by
connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.
Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the RGB port
(DDC 1/2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is
attempted.
• Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and peripheral
equipment (i.e. display devices).
• Please use the standard drivers in your computer, as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.
NOTE:
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes will not
be possible with this projector.
• For some RGB input modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.

Operating The Remote Control
ATTENTION
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in
malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you won’t be
using the remote control for an extended period.
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
• When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such as from
an inverter fluorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote sensor, the remote control may cause to
function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s
remote sensor.
• The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.
Remote sensor
• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60-degree
range (30 degrees to the left and right of the remote sensor).
Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be
available. If it is difficult to send a remote signal to the sensor
directly, please try.
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to
the projector (Class1 LED), be sure to use the remote control in
an area free from obstacles that could block the remote
control’s output signal to the projector.

Lamp
HIGH VOLTAGE
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE
WARNING
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp made of glass. The lamp can break with a
loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each
lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In
addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for
gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from
the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards
of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not
try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and
make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or
mouth.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above. This is dangerous,
since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In
addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced
even if the bulb is not broken.
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the section “Related
Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the lamp as soon as possible. Using
the lamp for long periods of time, or past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not
use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical
problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service
representative.
• Use the lamp of the specified type only. (sold separately)
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power cable is not plugged
in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot
can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the
screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.
• Obey local ordinances when disposing of used lamps. In most cases, it is possible to dispose of
used bulbs in the same manner as used glass bottles, but in some cases, bulbs are sorted
separately.
