Using the picture quality adjusting buttons

When you press any of the picture quality adjusting buttons, the screen for adjusting the picture quality appears. Adjust the picture quality by pressing the ▶ and ◀ buttons. The picture quality adjustment can be made alternatively in the IMAGE menu. (See Page 22.) Items in the menus are shown in parentheses below.

GAMMA (GAMMA MODE) ...... Selects one of the preset gamma mode.

COLOR TEMP (COLOR TEMP.) ..... Selects one of the preset color temperatures.

Operational range of the remote control

Front of projector

Rear of projector

• Keep the remote control photo-sensor out of direct sunlight or fluorescent lamp light.
• Keep the remote control photo-sensor at least 2 m away from fluorescent lamps. Otherwise, the remote control may malfunction.
• If there is an inverter-operated fluorescent lamp near the remote control, the remote control operation may become unstable. On this occasion, stick the attached protection sticker on one of the photo-sensors that is closer to the fluorescent lamp.

When operating the remote control, keep the distance from the remote controller to the projector via the screen within about 5m. The operable range of the remote control, however, depends on the characteristics of the screen.

Reception angle

Vertical directions

Vertical directions (ceiling mount)

Setting up the screen

Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See below.)

• Install the screen and projector so that the projector's lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center.
• Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view.

Basic setup

Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the images to be projected. (See

Page 11.)

Simple line drawing of a mechanical setup with a vertical beam and a horizontal support (no text or symbols)

• Do not place this projector on a carpet or blanket because the exhaust vent and the intake vent on the bottom surface are blocked and the inside of the projector is heated, causing a breakdown or fire.
• Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may flow into the intake vent, causing the projector to display “Over Temperature” and then stop projecting images. In such a case, attach the cushion that comes with the projector to the bottom surface of the projector as shown below.

Adjusting the projection angle

This projector is provided with three feet for adjusting the projection angle on the bottom surface.

Adjust the projection angle depending on the position of the projector.

Adjustment of the projection angle

For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.

1. Tilt up the project to the appropriate angle.
2. Press the foot adjustment buttons next to the adjustment feet (rear), and the adjustment feet will come out.
3. Release the buttons to lock the adjustment feet (rear) to that position.
4. Rotate the adjustment feet (rear) for fine adjustment.

After using the projector:

1. Put the adjustment feet (rear) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment buttons.
2. If necessary, rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment.

When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid:

When the screen and the projector are not placed perpendicularly to each other, projected images become trapezoidal. If you cannot make the projector and the screen perpendicular to each other by mechanical adjustments, adjust keystone. (See Page 16.)

• When the keystone adjustment is applied, the correct aspect ratio may not be obtained.
• When the keystone adjustment is applied, the resolution lowers. In addition, vertical stripes appear and straight lines bend in images with complicated patterns. To prevent such symptoms, keep the screen and the projector perpendicular to each other as much as possible.
• Though the projected image may be distorted momentarily when you change the setting value of the keystone adjustment, such symptom is not a malfunction.
• Though the projected image may be distorted depending on the setting value of the keystone adjustment and the type of the input signal, such symptom is not a malfunction. In such a case, adjust the setting value within the range where the projected image is not distorted.
• The setting value displayed at the time of the keystone adjustment may vary depending on the type of the input signal.

Screen size and projection distance

Refer to the following table to determine the screen size.

When the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3, the positional relation between the projected image and the screen is as shown on the right. Refer to the following table for installation.

When the aspect ratio of the screen is 16:9

This projector is equipped with a lamp to project images. This lamp is a consumable. It may burn out or its brightness may decrease during use. In such cases, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. Be sure to replace the lamp with a new lamp separately sold that is exclusive to this projector. Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.

WARNING:

• Be careful not to drop the lamp fixing screws into the inside of the projector. Don't put a metal piece or flammable object into the projector. Using the projector with any foreign object present inside may result in electric shock or fire. When you can't remove the foreign object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal.
• Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn't installed properly, it won't illuminate. Improper installation may also result in fire.
• Don't shake the removed lamp or don't lift it above your face. You may be injured in your eye by flying or falling glass fragments.
• Don't replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover is very hot. You may get burned. Turn off the power using the POWER button. After the lamp goes out, wait about two minutes until the intake and exhaust fans for cooling the lamp stop rotating. Then unplug the power cord, and wait at least one hour to allow the lamp to cool down enough to the touch.

Interval of lamp replacement

The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 2000 hours ^1 ^2 of consecutive use. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 2000 hours ^1 ^2 . Decrease in luminescence and/or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 1500 hours ^1 , the indicator will blink alternately green and red while the lamp is lit (while the lamp is not lit, the indicator will blink red only) and the lamp replacement message will appear on the screen for one minute every time the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 1900 hours ^1 , the replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will appear on the screen for one minute every 10 hours ^*1 thereafter.

When the lamp operation time exceeds 2000 hours ^1 ^2 , the projector automatically shuts off and can't be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.

*1 When LAMP MODE of the INSTALLATION menu is set to STANDARD. When it is set to LOW, this duration will be extended.

*2 When LAMP MODE is set to LOW, this duration will be extended up to 3000 hours.

Caution:

• Don't remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the lamp may result in a breakdown.
• This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure mercury lamp may explode or fail to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the lamp may explode soon after the start of use.
• The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. When the instruction of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one immediately even if the lamp is still lighting normally.
• When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside the lamp box and the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see a doctor immediately.
• In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp has exploded, glass fragments may have been scattered inside the projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be sure to hold the handle of the lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments.
• Don't replace the lamp with the projector installed on the ceiling. Glass fragments may fall from the projector, entering your eye or mouth causing injury.
• When placing the projector upside down to replace the lamp or conduct maintenance, ensure that the projector is securely placed before working with it.

To replace the lamp:

1. Reverse the projector gently.
2. Loosen the screw (a) using a Phillips screwdriver (+), and remove the lamp cover (b).
3. Loosen the screws (c) using a Phillips screwdriver (+).
4. Pull up the handle.

5. Pull out the lamp box by the handle while holding the projector.

6. Pull the lamp box out of the projector slowly. If it is pulled out quickly, the lamp may break scattering glass fragments.

7. Do not spill liquid on the removed lamp box or do not place it near any flammable object or where children can reach to prevent injury or fire.

8. Load a new lamp box securely into the projector in the right orientation.

9. Put the handle back to the original position.

• Make sure that the handle is locked.

1. Tighten up the screws (c) using a Phillips screwdriver (+).
2. Tighten up the screw (a) using a Phillips screwdriver (+) to secure the lamp cover.

Reset of the lamp operation time

Plug in the power cord, turn on the lamp, and reset the lamp operation time by keep pressing the ◀, ▶, and POWER buttons on the control panel at the same time about three seconds.

Important:

• Unless these three buttons are pressed at the same time, the lamp operation time isn't reset.
  • Make sure that the STATUS indicator is lit twice and the lamp operation time is reset successfully.
• The projector doesn't turn on if the lamp cover isn't attached securely.
• Be sure to reset the lamp operation time whenever you replace the lamp.
• Do not reset the lamp operation time unless you replace the lamp.
• This projector uses a lamp that contains mercury. Disposal of the lamp or the projector with the lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org. (For US only).

Maintenance

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you perform any maintenance on the projector.

Cleaning of the projector and the ventilation slots

Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventilation grilles. When the grilles become dirty, wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with diluted mild detergent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

To protect the surface of the projector from fading or deteriorating:

• Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.
• Do not use benzine or thinner to clean it.
• Do not let rubber or plastic materials contact with projector.

Cleaning of the lens

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens surface is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabrasive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens with your fingers.

To view images projected by the ceiling-mounted projector from the front:

When the projector is installed on the ceiling, the special ceiling mount bracket, which is separately sold, is required. Be sure to ask a certified installation specialist for installation of the projector. Contact your dealer for details.
