Projector features / Preparations  
Projector features  
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC/PAL/  
SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation  
and gets a large image from short distance.  
High Brightness  
Newly developed 230W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher  
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean  
enough for use in bright rooms.  
Low Noise  
WHISPER mode is available for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter  
operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more  
important than brightness.  
Compact Body  
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim,  
which gives you more flexibility and usability to use it where you want.

Adjusting the projector's elevator  
WARNING ►Do not adjust the projector’s elevator during use or  
immediately after use. Handling while the projector is in a high temperature  
could cause a burn and/or malfunction to the projector.  
CAUTION ►If you press the elevator button without holding the projector,  
the projector might crash down, overturn, smash your fingers and possibly  
result in malfunction. To prevent damaging the projector and injuring yourself,  
always hold the projector whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the  
elevator feet.  
►Do not incline the projector rightward or leftward. Also do not incline it  
backward or forward exceeding 7 degrees. Exceeding these range could cause  
malfunction, and could shorten the lifetime of the consumables.  
►Except for inclining by the elevator feet adjustment, place the projector  
horizontally.  
You can use the elevator feet to make adjustments if the surface on which you  
need to set the projector is uneven or if you otherwise need to adjust the angle of  
projection. The adjustment range of the elevator feet is 0 to 7 degrees.

Connecting your devices  
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.  
►Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection.  
Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a  
certain picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For  
cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.  
►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.  
NOTE • 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.  
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.  
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these  
modes will not be possible with this projector.  
• For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.  
• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input,  
automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this  
case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution  
on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended  
to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

Remote control  
Using the remote control  
CAUTION ►Be careful in handling the remote control.  
• Do not drop or expose the remote control to physical impact.  
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. It 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 malfunctioning.  
• 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 the light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.  
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.  
approx. 3 meters  
30º  
30º  
• 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 to use the reflected signal.  
• 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.

HIGH VOLTAGE  
HIGH TEMPERATURE  
HIGH PRESSURE  
WARNING  
►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. 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.  
About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not  
put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.  
For more information, call your dealer.  
• 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  
inside of the projector, or cause injury during handling, so please do not  
try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.  
Disconnect  
the plug  
from the  
power  
• 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.  
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power  
outlet  
cord, 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.  
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.  
• Do not open the lamp door while the projector is suspended from  
the ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the  
shards will fall out when the door 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.  
• Do not use the projector with the lamp door removed. To replace the  
lamp, make sure that the screws are tightened firmly. Loose screws  
could result in damage or injury.  
• Use only the lamp of the specified type.  
• 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.  
Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.  
• If the indicators or a message prompt 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 passing the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not  
use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

NOTE • A lamp has a finite product life. Lamps are characterized by the  
fact that, after long hours of usage, a lamp will no longer light up, or the lamp  
will break or burst, etc. This projector is equipped with an automatic shut-down  
function, such that the power will automatically be turned off when lamp usage  
time has reached 2000 hours. Please be aware, however, that among lamp  
types, there are major differences in product lifetimes; a lamp may thus fail to  
light even prior to the functioning of the automatic shut-down function of this  
projector.
