Notes on Handling and Storage  
Be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid malfunctions, operating errors or damage to the projector.  
Notes on Handling and Storage  
• Do not set up the projector near high-voltage electrical wires or sources of magnetic fields.  
These may interfere with correct operation.  
• Do not touch the lens with bare hands.  
If fingerprints or grease get onto the lens, it can interfere with the quality of the projected images. Attach the lens  
cover to the lens when the projector is not in use.  
• During projection, some points (dots) may appear lit at all times, or they may be dark at all times.  
This is caused by the characteristics of the LCD panel, and is not a sign of a malfunction. The LCD panel is  
manufactured using extremely high-precision technology. However, black dots may appear on the panel, or some  
red, blue or green dots may light extremely brightly at times. Furthermore, sometimes stripe-shaped color  
irregularities or brightness irregularities may also appear.  
• Remove the batteries from the remote control before storage.  
If the batteries are left in the remote control for long periods, they may leak.  
• Always attach the lens cap to the lens when not using the projector, to prevent the lens from becoming dirty or  
damaged.  
• The mercury lamp that is used as the projector's light source deteriorates as a result of normal use and as a  
result of impacts or other damage, and may also break with a loud noise, stop working or reach the end of its  
service life more quickly.  
At such times, the amount of time remaining before the lamp breaks or stops working may vary greatly depending  
on the individual lamp characteristics and the operating environment. These are normal characteristics of mercury  
lamps. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.  
• YAMAHA takes no responsibility for loss or damage caused by damage to the projector or operating failures  
outside normal service warranty conditions.  
Lamp Operating Errors  
The mercury lamp that is used as the light source for this projector may stop operating on occasions. This is a normal  
characteristic of mercury lamps. If the lamp does not turn on when the projector's power is turned on, remove the  
lamp and check if it is broken. If the lamp is not broken, reinstall it. Refer to "Replacing the Lamp" on page 48 of this  
manual for instruction on removing and reinstalling the lamp.  
If the lamp is broken, replace it with a new lamp. It is recommended that you have a spare lamp ready at all times in  
case it is needed.  
Notes on Carrying the Projector  
• Turn off the projector power and then disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.  
Furthermore, check that all other cables have been disconnected.  
• Attach the lens cap to the lens.  
• Retract the adjustable foot.  
• If your model of projector has a handle, hold the projector by the handle when carrying it.

Projector  
Projector  
When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.  
The keystone correction settings are memorized, so that if you change the position or angle of  
the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone correction settings.  
If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out, decrease  
the Sharpnesssetting. (p.27, 29)  
Keystone correction can also be carried out using the projector menu. (p.31)  
If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when horizontal or vertical  
keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for horizontal or vertical  
keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector has not been set up at an  
angle which exceeds the proper limit.

Adjusting the Image Quality  
Squeeze mode  
When images in squeeze mode  
are displayed on a 4:3 TV screen  
Viewed using the projector  
Use this setting if the connected video  
source has a 16:9 output mode (Squeeze  
mode).  
If images in squeeze mode are viewed on a  
4:3 TV screen, the images are compressed  
horizontally and elongated vertically. If  
Squeeze mode is selected on the projector,  
the images are projected correctly in their  
native wide-screen (16:9) format.  
When the projector's squeeze  
mode is applied  
Images output in 4:3 format  
When images output in 4:3 format are  
projected using the projector's squeeze  
mode, the images will be extended  
horizontally and the image will appear  
elongated.  
Zoom mode  
4:3 image cut at top and bottom  
Resized to 16:9  
Images output in 4:3 format are truncate at  
top and bottom by a set amount and then  
projected in a 16:9 format.  
Zoom -Subtitle- mode  
Images output in 4:3 format  
Viewed using the projector  
When 4:3 images with subtitles included  
are projected using the projector's Zoom  
Subtitle mode, the images are enlarged in  
the vertical and horizontal directions to  
resize them to 16:9 size.  
Because the images are enlarged  
vertically, the subtitles may sometimes be  
displayed outside the actual projection  
area. If this happens, you can adjust the  
display position by choosing the "Signal"  
- "Zoom Subtitle" - "V Size", "V Position"  
menu command (p.31)

Picture Mode of Computer Images  
Through mode  
If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720  
dots or less, the images are projected onto  
the screen with the input signal resolution  
unchanged. Because of this, the size of the  
displayed images will change depending  
on the input resolution.  
The picture quality will be the clearest for  
portions of the image that have not been  
resized horizontally or vertically.  
Squeeze Through mode  
If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720  
dots or less, the input signal resolution is  
elongated horizontally and the images are  
projected at an aspect ratio of 16:9.  
Because of this, the size of the displayed  
images will change depending on the input  
resolution.  
The portions that are not vertically resized  
will appear with higher image quality.  
Automatic Adjustment of Computer Images  
This adjusts computer images (INPUT A [RGB] and INPUT B [RGB] only) to the optimum condition.  
Automatic adjustment involves adjustment of tracking , display position and synchronization (Sync) for  
RGB signals.  
While an image is being projected from  
the computer, press the [AUTO] button  
on the remote control.  
Procedure  
The screen will appear black while the  
adjustment is being made.  
Remote control  
Automatic adjustment may not work properly with some types of signals which are output by  
computers. In such cases, you may need to adjust the tracking and synchronization manually  
using the projector menu. (p.28)

Functions for Enhancing Projection  
Color temperature, flesh tone and color balance adjustment  
This adjusts the hues of light shades to the desired hues.  
Three modes are available, for adjusting Color Temperature , flesh tones and each individual RGB color.  
These adjustments are cumulative, so first carry out the basic "Color Temp." and "Flesh Tone" adjustments  
while referring to the graph below, and then make fine adjustments using the "Color Balance" command.  
Use the "Color Temp.", "Flesh Tone" and "Color Balance" commands in the "Image" menu to adjust.  
Color temperature and flesh tone adjustment modes  
The "Color Temp." setting allows lighter colors to be  
adjusted so that they range from having a red tinge to  
having a blue tinge. When the color temperature is  
lower, the red content is greater and color tones appear  
softer. When the color temperature is higher, the blue  
content is greater and color tones appear fresher.  
The "Flesh Tone" setting adjusts the green component  
of image signals. If adjusted to the - side, the green  
component is reduced and colors appear purplish. If  
adjusted to the + side, the green component is increased.  
Adjust until the desired flesh tones are obtained.

When Having Some Trouble  
If you are having a problem with the projector, first check the projector's indicators.  
The projector is provided with the following three indicators. These indicators alert you to problems with projector  
operation.

projector was turned off before the cool-down period had  
finished the last time the projector was turned off, and it was then  
turned back on again before one hour had passed.

When turning off the projector, wait 2 minutes. After about 2  
minutes, the cooling fan will stop. When the cooling fan stops,  
turn off the main power switch and then turn it back on again.  
When the main power switch is turned back on, the projector will  
return to its previous state, so press the [STANDBY/ON] button  
on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to  
turn it back on. If the lamp operating error happens again when  
the power is turned back on, remove the lamp and check if the  
lamp is broken. If it is not broken, reinstall it. If it is broken,  
replace it. Then turn on the main power switch at the rear of the  
projector and press the [STANDBY/ON] button on either the  
remote control or the projector's control panel.  
If the indicators still show a problem, stop using the projector,  
turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cord from  
the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer.

If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.  
When the main power switch is turned back on, the projector will  
return to its previous state, so press the [STANDBY/ON] button  
on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to turn  
it back on. If the projector continues to overheat even after the  
above points have been checked, or if the indicators show a  
problem when the power is turned back on, stop using the  
projector, turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power  
cord from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer.

The [STANDBY/ON] buttons on both the projector's control  
panel and the remote control will not operate while the  
indicator is flashing red. When the indicator changes to  
flashing orange (after approximately 90 seconds), the  
[STANDBY/ON] buttons on the projector's control panel and  
the remote control will then work.  
If the main power switch at the rear of the projector is turned  
off before cool-down is complete, wait for the lamp to cool  
down (normally about one hour is required) before turning the  
power back on again.  
If the projector is not operating properly even though the indicators are all showing normal, refer  
to "When the Indicators Provide No Help" on the following page.  
If an indicator is showing a status which does not appear in the previous tables, contact your

Check the mode which corresponds to the  
frequency of the image signals being output  
from the computer.  
Normally image signals are output to only the  
computer's LCD screen, so you need to change the  
output to an external destination. For some computer  
models, when the image signals are output externally,  
they no longer appear on the LCD screen. For details,  
refer to the section of the documentation provided with  
your computer under a heading such as "External  
output", "Connecting an external monitor" or similar.  
(p.7)  
If a laptop computer or a computer with a  
LCD screen has been connected to the  
projector, it is necessary to output the image  
signals to the projector rather than to the  
screen.

Maintenance  
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.  
Cleaning  
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.  
Be sure to read the Safety Instructions in this manual for details on safe handling of  
the projector during cleaning.  
Cleaning the Projector Case  
Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.  
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral  
detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the case  
again with a soft, dry cloth.  
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector  
case. These can cause the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.  
Cleaning the Lens  
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.  
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can  
easily become damaged.  
Cleaning the Air Filter  
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and damage the projector.  
Stand up the projector in order to prevent dust getting inside the projector, and then use a vacuum cleaner to  
clean away the dust from the air filter.  
If the air filter is difficult to clean or if it is broken,  
it should be replaced. Contact your dealer for a  
spare air filter.  
Replacement lamps are provided with a spare  
air filter. The air filter should also be replaced  
when the lamp is replaced.

Replacing Consumables  
This section describes how to replace the lamp and the air filter.  
Lamp Replacement Period  
It is time to replace the lamp when:  
The message "Lamp Replace" appears on the screen when projection starts.  
The message appears for 30 seconds, and disappears again  
after 30 seconds have passed.  
A message will be displayed.  
The LAMP/COVER indicator flashes orange or lights red.  
Lamp indicator flashes orange or lights red.  
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.  
In order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images, replace the lamp as  
soon as possible after the warning message appears.  
The replacement warning message is set to appear after 2900 hours of lamp use in order to  
maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images. If you continue to use the lamp after  
this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater. When the lamp replacement  
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still  
working.  
The warning message appears after 2900 hours of use, but the actual life of each individual  
lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used.  
Some lamps may stop operating before 2900 hours of use, so you should always have a spare  
lamp ready in case.  
When the lamp replacement warning message appears, the user's logo will not appear even if  
the Startup Screensetting is ON.  
Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Maintenance  
Replacing the Lamp  
If the lamp stops working and needs to be replaced, there is the danger that the lamp may  
break when handled.  
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed to the ceiling, you should  
remove the projector from the ceiling before replacing the lamp. If the projector cannot be  
removed from the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and handle it  
with extreme care during removal. Furthermore, you should stand to the side of the  
projector, not underneath it.  
Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before opening the lamp cover. After the  
cool-down period has finished, it takes approximately a further 30 minutes for the lamp to  
be cool enough.  
Procedure  
Turn off the main power switch at the  
rear of the projector. (p.9)  
1
After the lamp has cooled down  
sufficiently, open the lamp cover.  
After the cool-down period has finished, it takes  
approximately a further 30 minutes for the lamp  
to be cool enough.  
2
Use the screwdriver that is provided with the  
replacement lamp to slide the lamp cover opening  
switch so that the lamp cover lifts up. Clasp the  
lifted-up portion of the lamp cover with your  
fingers and slide the cover toward the front of the  
projector to open it.  
Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

4
Use the screwdriver that is supplied with the  
replacement lamp to loosen the two lamp fixing  
screws that are securing the lamp to the projector.  
Take out the lamp.  
Hold the lamp so that it faces the correct way to  
fit into the projector, and then push it in securely  
and tighten the two fixing screws.

screws.  
Install the lamp cover.  
Close the lamp cover, slide it toward the rear of  
the projector, and then push the front part  
downward until it clicks into place.  
Install the lamp securely. For safety, the lamp will turn off automatically when the lamp cover is  
opened. Moreover, the lamp will not turn on if the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed  
correctly.  
Replacement lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced  
when the lamp is replaced.  
Dispose of used lamps properly in accordance with your local regulations.  
Resetting the Lamp Operating Time  
The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating time. When the cumulative  
operating time reaches a certain point, it causes the replacement warning message to be displayed. Therefore,  
the counter needs to be reset after the lamp has been replaced with a new one. You can do this using the  
projector menu.  
Do not reset the lamp operating time except after the lamp has been replaced, otherwise the lamp  
replacement period will not be indicated correctly.  
Procedure

Glossary  
Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which were  
not explained in the manual itself. Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-  
available publications.  
3-2 pull-down  
detection-type IP  
conversion  
This function directly converts image sources that have been recorded in the same 24-frame  
format used for movies into 60-frame progressive signals. This allows data such as DVD  
software that has been recorded in 24-frame format to be played back on large screens with  
more natural and accurate reproduction, without any loss of image quality from the original  
movie.  
Aspect ratio  
The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9  
and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.  
Color  
difference  
signal  
A type of video signal output by video equipment which actually consists of three separate  
signals: a red + luminance signal (R-Y), a luminance signal (Y) and a blue + luminance signal  
(B-Y). Each signal is transmitted along a separate cable. Color difference signals generally  
result in a better image than composite signals (in which the red, green and blue signals and  
the luminance signal are all transmitted along a single cable).  
(component)  
Color  
temperature  
The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the color temperature is high, the  
colors tend to take on a bluish tinge. If the color temperature is lower, the colors tend to take  
on a reddish tinge.  
Component video  
Composite video  
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and color signals separated, in order to  
provide better image quality.  
In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals:  
Y (luminance signal), and PB and PR (color difference signals).  
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and color signals mixed together. The  
type of signals commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC format).  
The signals consist of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and the chroma (color) signal  
which are contained in the color signal.  
Contrast  
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased  
in order to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer.  
Cool-down  
The cooling process for the projector lamp continues even after the [STANDBY/ON] button  
on either the remote control or the projector's control panel has been pressed to turn off the  
projector. All button operations for the emote control and the projector's control panel are  
disabled while the cooling fan is operating at this time. The length of time that this is  
happening is called the "cool-down period". The cool-down period lasts for about 5 minutes.  
The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature.  
DCDi function  
DVI  
An abbreviation for Directional Correlational Deinterlacing. Refers to a high-resolution  
image circuit function developed by Faroudja. It incorporates the latest in edge cutting  
technology to smooth the jaggedness from the edges of images that have been converted from  
interlaced to progressive video, in order to provide more natural images.  
Abbreviation for Digital Visual Interface. Refers to a standard method for digital  
transmission of video signals.  
DVI is a standard that is also targeted towards digital household appliances other than  
computers.  
Film judgment  
function  
This function determines whether or not the video source is a 24 Hz progressive film source.  
Gain  
The adjustment of minute changes in color that occur as result of factors such as differences  
in the equipment used to display images. It adjusts the coloration in brighter ranges separately  
for R, G and B components.  
Gamma  
HDTV  
The adjustment of minute changes in color that occur as result of factors such as differences  
in the equipment used to display images. It adjusts the coloration in intermediate ranges  
separately for R, G and B components.  
An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which  
satisfy the following conditions.  
It may also include vertical resolutions of 720p or 1080i or above (p = progressive  
scanning; i = interlaced scanning) or 480p.  
Screen aspect ratio of 16:9

Glossary  
Interlaced  
A method of image scanning whereby the lines in a single image are divided into two sections  
or "fields". The signal bandwidth used for interlaced scanning is approximately half that  
required for progressive scanning when images with the same still picture resolution are  
broadcast.  
Offset  
The adjustment of minute changes in color that occur as result of factors such as differences  
in the equipment used to display images. It adjusts the coloration in darker ranges separately  
for R, G and B components.  
Refresh Rate  
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color for an  
extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second in  
order to refresh the light emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is  
called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).  
S-Video images  
A video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated in order  
to provide better image quality.  
It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C  
(color signal).  
SDTV  
sRGB  
An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems  
which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television.  
An international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors which are  
reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS)  
and the Internet.  
SVGA  
SXGA  
A type of image signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots which is  
used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).  
A type of image signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) x 1024 (vertical) dots which is  
used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).  
Synchronization  
(Sync.)  
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does  
not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of  
matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the  
signal) is called "synchronization". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as  
flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.  
Tracking  
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does  
not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of  
matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called  
tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the  
projected images.  
UXGA  
VGA  
A type of image signal with a resolution of 1600 (horizontal) x 1200 (vertical) dots which is  
used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).  
A type of image signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots which is  
used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).  
XGA  
A type of image signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots which is  
used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers).

The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of images  
may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you  
intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.  
Condition 1: The computer must have a image signal output port.  
Check that the computer has a port such as an RGB port, monitor port or video port which  
can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop  
computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively  
you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the OWNER'S  
MANUAL for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an external monitor" or  
similar for further details.  
Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be listed  
in the "List of Supported Signal Resolutions".  
Some computers may have functions for changing the output resolution. Refer to the  
OWNER'S MANUAL for the computer and change the setting to within a range given in  
the list of supported resolutions.  
You may need to purchase a separate adapter to connect the  
computer to the projector, depending on the shape of the computer's  
monitor port. Refer to the OWNER'S MANUAL for the computer for  
details.  
The optional Mac Adapter Set is required in order to connect the  
projector to a Macintosh computer.
