Cleaning You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the projected image starts to deteriorate.

fCleaning the air filter Keeping the projector horizontal, use a vacuum cleaner to clean away the dust from the air filter. If dust collects in the air filter (air intake vent) it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise.This can lead to problems with operation and shorten the service life of the optical engine. We recommend that you clean this part at least once every three months.Clean it more often if you are using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

If the air filter is difficult to clean or if it is broken, it should be replaced. Contact your dealer for a new air filter.

fCleaning 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 (ph) neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. After you have done this, wipe the projector another time 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 surface coating peel off.

fCleaning the lens Use a commercially-available air blower, or lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens.

As the lens can be easily damaged, do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks.

Replacing consumables fReplacing the air filter (Air filter: ELPAF04) Replacing the air filter can also be performed when the projector is mounted to a ceiling.

Turn off the projector power, wait for the cool-down period to end, then disconnect the power cable.

• Install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the lamp turns off automatically as a safety precaution. The lamp will not turn on if the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly. • After replacing the lamp, be sure to reset the lamp operating time. • The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of used lamps properly in accordance with your local regulations.

fResetting the lamp operating time The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating time and causes the replacement warning message to be displayed when the cumulative operating time reaches a certain point. Therefore, the counter needs to be reset from the configuration menu, after the lamp has been replaced with a new one.

Please do not reset the lamp operating time except when the lamp has been changed. Otherwise, the lamp operating time will not be displayed correctly.

Use the [l][r] buttons to select "Yes", then press the [e] button. The lamp operating time will be reset.

Glossary Complex terms used in this book, or terms not explained in the body of the text, will be briefly explained here. For further explanation, please consult commercially available reference texts. Aspect ratio

The ratio between an image's length and its height. Images which have an aspect ratio of 16:9 are called Widescreen. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.

The temperature of an object which is emitting light. When the colour temperature is high, colours tend to take on a bluish tinge; when the colour temperature is low, colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.

A type of video signal which has the video brightness and colour signal information 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 (colour difference signals).

The standard home video signal (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) which has the video brightness and colour signal information mixed together. Composite video consists of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and the chroma (colour) signal, combined within the colour bar signal.

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, or appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".

The process used to cool down a projector lamp that is hot from use. Cool-down happens automatically when the [Power] button is pressed on the projector or on the remote control to turn the projector off. Do not unplug the projector power cable whilst it is cooling down. If cool-down is interrupted, heat from the lamp gets trapped inside the projector, potentially shortening the life of the lamp and causing projector failure.

An audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two speakers, whereas Dolby Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-channel) system which adds a centre speaker, two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.

HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television, it refers to high definition systems which satisfy the following conditions. • Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p=Progressive scanningg, i=Interlaced scanningg) • Screen aspect ratio of 16:9 • Dolby digitalgl audio reception and playback (or output)

Each screen is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence starting from left to right and then from top to bottom. This method of image scanning, whereby even numbered lines and odd numbered lines are displayed alternately, is called Interlaced scanning.

Progressive scanning

A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image.

The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. For this reason, 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).

A term used to describe a video signal most commonly output to computer monitors. RGB video is made up of electrical pulses representing the intensities of the three primary colours of light, red, green and blue. A fourth or fifth pulse carries timing information.

SCART A 21pin rectangular shaped connector for transmitting audio and video signals between TV, VTR and AV equipment. RGB, S-Video/Composite video and two audio channels can be transmitted.

SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television.

A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theftprevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.

The method of compressing 16:9 Widescreen images and recording them on video software as 4:3 images. When projecting with Squeeze mode on, the images will return to their original 16:9 format.

SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

A type of video signal which has the video brightness and colour signal information separated, in order to provide better image quality. It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y(luminance signal), and C (colour signal).

Sync. (Synchronisation)

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. Image quality will suffer if the projector frequency and the computer frequency do not match. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronised, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. Image quality will suffer if the projector frequency and the computer frequency do not match. 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.

VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.

The carrier signal contained in the colour bar signal used in modern (NTSC) TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma (colour)) signals.

The carrier signal contained in the colour bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (colour difference) signals.
