What's in the Box? and the Names of the Projector Parts

1-1. Features

- DLP Cinema® projector

Complies with the strict projection standards defined by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) industry group in the United States using leading imaging technology of NEC. It also supports 3D projection and high frame rates (HFR).

• Employs a long life laser light source

The projector employs a newly developed laser light source offering excellent reliability and redundancy. Since the laser light source has a long life (approx. 30,000 hours), this delivers low cost operation by removing the need for maintenance such as replacing and adjusting the light module over extended periods of time. Furthermore, it reduces the risk of the light source suddenly shutting off and leaving a black screen.

- Delivers reduced installation space and increased freedom through a more compact and lightweight body

The use of a 0.98" DC4K chip achieves 4K high resolution. In addition, the integration of the light module into the projector main unit offers smaller footprint as well as improving the degree of freedom of installation, such as removing the need to connect the projector to an external exhaust duct and supporting both floor-mounted and ceiling-suspended installation. A wide variety of optional lenses (sold separately) are also available for the projector in order to support a wide variety of installation methods (a lens is not mounted when the projector is shipped from the factory).

• Equipped with easy to use functions

(1) Lens memory function and light memory function that can be operated with one touch.

The projector is equipped with a lens memory function that can save the zoom position and shift position of the lens and a light memory function that can save the brightness setting separately for each input signal. This makes it possible to project using preconfigured settings simply by selecting the signal when projecting multiple different input signals each with different screen size and brightness settings (Refer to "6-8. Related products list" (page 80) for details on the lenses that support the lens memory function).

(2) Built-in automatic adjustment function that makes the brightness and color of the light source uniform

Degradation of brightness and variations in color that occur as the light source is used for longer periods of time are kept to a minimum (the period over which variations in brightness can be limited varies depending on the brightness setting).

(3) Frequently used titles can be registered in preset buttons

The projector has been equipped with 8 preset buttons that make it easy to select registered title (input signal). To this projector, 100 titles at most can be registered (input signal registration). Among the registered titles, any 16 titles can be assigned to the preset buttons.

(4) You can operate and configure the projector via a network from a PC

You can operate and configure the projector via a network from a PC by using the separately supplied software Digital Cinema Communicator (DCC) v2.

• Excellent dust-proof performance

A circulating cooling system is used to cool the optical components. The system converts warm air into cold air and circulates it inside a sealed structure, so external air does not come into contact with the optical components. This prevents dust and dirt from getting on the optical components, maintaining brightness.

* Note that dust and dirt cannot be completely shut out.

- Reduced running cost thanks to the use of metal filters

The filters are made of metal, so they can be used repeatedly and do not have to be replaced when performing periodic cleaning. This not only reduces running costs, but also contributes to preserving the environment since no spent filters are discarded.

Maintenance of Your Projector

NOTE Please request your dealer to perform cleaning of the projector inside.

5-1. Cleaning the Cabinet


WARNING

Pull out the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning the cabinet. 

WARNING

Please do not use a spray containing flammable gas to remove dust attached to the cabinet, etc. Doing so may result in fires. - Wipe with a dry, soft cloth without nap. When the cabinet is excessively dirty, wipe with cloth well wrung after being dampened with a neutral detergent diluted with water and then finish up with a dry cloth. When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions in the manual attached to it. - Do not use a solvent, such as thinner or benzene. The coating may deteriorate or peel off. - When removing dust on the ventilation opening, suck it off using an adapter with a brush on a vacuum cleaner. Never allow the cleaner without an adapter to come into direct contact or use a nozzles adapter in cleaning. - Clean the ventilation opening at regular intervals. Dust, if allowed to accumulate there, may cause heating inside, which leads to functional trouble. The interval, which can vary with the location of your projector, is about 100 hours. - Do not damage the cabinet by scratching it or allowing hard objects to hit it. This can scratch the projector. - Consult your dealer/distributor about cleaning the inside of the projector. NOTE Do not allow insecticide or other volatile liquid to splash on the cabinet, lens or screen. Also, do not allow any rubber or plastic object to remain in contact with the cabinet for a long time. The coating may deteriorate or peel off.

5-2. Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens the same way as with camera lens (using a commercially available camera blower or cleaning paper for glasses). Take care not to damage the lens when cleaning. 

WARNING

Pull out the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning the lens. 

WARNING

- Do not look into the light module while the projector is ON. Strong light is emitted from the projector and visual impairment could result. - Please do not use a spray containing flammable gas to remove dust attached to the lens, etc. Doing so may result in fires.

5-3. Cleaning the Air Filters

Air filters are provided on the projector's air intakes to prevent dust from entering the projector. Clean the air filters regularly to maintain the performance of the projector. \- The usage time of the air filters can be checked at "Information" - "Usage" (page 55) on the adjustments menu. 

WARNING

Pull out the power plug from the power outlet before cleaning the air filters. 

WARNING

- If dust accumulates on the air filters, air intake to the projector will be insufficient and the internal temperature will rise, leading to fire or malfunction. - Do not use a flammable gas spray to remove dust from the filters. Doing so may lead to fire. 

CAUTION

\- Before cleaning the air filters, turn off the power, wait for the cooling fan to come to a complete stop, turn off the projector power switch and the light power switch, interrupt the AC power supply, and make sure that the projector has cooled sufficiently. Removing the filter units during operation may cause burns or electric shock if the inside is touched. 

5. Maintenance of Your Projector

To remove the front air filter, pull the filter cover in the direction of the arrow. To install, insert the catches in the filter cover into the grooves in the lens cover, close the cover, then push it in.   The illustration in this explanation shows how to clean the air filters on the top panel. Clean the other filters in the same way as these air filters (small type).

1 Remove the air filter.

Turn the 2 screws counterclockwise until they are disengaged, then lift the air filter a little to remove it. - The screws do not come off. - The number of screws differs depending on the air filter.

2 Remove the metal filter.

Note: The metal filter does not come off the small type air filters. See "For small type air filters" on the next page. (1) Turn the air filter upside down. (2) Slowly bend the metal filter a little to unlatch the three catches from the grooves in the panel one by one. Note: Bending the metal filter too much could damage it beyond repair. Be very careful to only bend the metal filters a little when removing them. (3) Remove the metal filter from the panel.

3 Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from both sides of the metal filter, the projector and the panel. Note: Do not wash the metal filter in water. Doing so will cause the dust to clog the holes, reducing intake performance.

4 Attach the metal filter.

(1) Insert the three catches on the metal filter into the grooves in the panel. (2) Bend the metal filter a little and insert the three projecting parts on the opposite side into the grooves in the panel, one by one. Note: Bending the metal filter too strongly could damage it, rendering it unusable. Be very careful to only bend the metal filters a little when attaching them.

5 Attach the air filter to the projector.

(1) Insert the catches in the air filter into the grooves in the projector. (2) Turn the two screws clockwise to tighten them. The number of screws differs depending on the air filter. This completes cleaning of one of the air filters. Clean the other air filters in the same way.

6 Reset the air filter usage time.

See "Filter Cleaning" under "Reset" on Page 52.

For small type air filters

1. Using the procedure in step 1, turn one screw counterclockwise until it is disengaged, then lift the air filter (small type) a little to remove it. The screws do not come off. 2. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from both the front and back sides of the filter and from the projector.

Note:

- Do not remove the metal filter. Doing so may bend it, rendering it unusable. - Do not wash the air filter in water. Doing so will cause the dust to clog the holes, reducing intake performance. 3. Using the procedure in step 5, turn one screw clockwise to tighten it. NOTE Locate the back side of the air filter and install it in the designated place. 4. Perform the operation in step 6.

You can change the assigned functions.

Input Connector


• Using GPIO Control

Momentary "ON" pulse enables you to control projector. To enable "ON" pulse, hold it for at least 500 ms. Hold "OFF" for at least 500 ms before "ON". (See page 76) Here is function list to control projector by using GPIO port.

Pin No. Photo-coupler ON/OFF Function
1-20 ON/OFF 3D L/R timing signal input ON/OFF
2-21 ON/OFF 3D L/R display timing signal input ON/OFF

4-23 - System reserved (used internally)
5-246-257-268-27	8-27 7-26 6-25 5-24	The following functions apply depending on the combination of input terminals.
	OFF OFF OFF ON	Power ON
	OFF OFF ON	OFF Power OFF
	OFF OFF ON	ON Light source ON
	OFF ON OFF	OFF Light source OFF
	OFF ON OFF	ON Image douser ON
	OFF ON ON	OFF Image douser OFF
	OFF ON	ON	ON	System reserved (used internally)
	ON OFF OFF	OFF Selects the title registered to the preset button 1
	ON OFF OFF	ON Selects the title registered to the preset button 2
	ON OFF ON	OFF Selects the title registered to the preset button 3
	ON OFF	ON	ON	Selects the title registered to the preset button 4
	ON ON OFF	OFF Selects the title registered to the preset button 5
	ON ON OFF	ON Selects the title registered to the preset button 6
	ON ON	ON	OFF	Selects the title registered to the preset button 7
	ON ON	ON	ON	Selects the title registered to the preset button 8

Example for dousing image: Input ON to 5-24 and 7-26 while 6-25 and 8-27 are OFF. Example for selecting the preset button 2: Input ON to 5-24 and 8-27 while 6-25 and 7-26 are OFF.

NOTE

- The operation command coming from GPI/O port will be canceled when the projector is processing other tasks, such as light source cooling and switching title. - Set all other pins than those in use to "OFF". - The operation command is executed upon continuous input of the "ON" pulse for approximately 200 ms.
