How do I replace the lamp?

Lamp replacement should be performed by a qualified dealer. When the message 'Over Time Bulb' appears, contact your dealer for a replacement lamp (IS8LP4-E) or lamp house module (IS8LH-E). Do not attempt replacement yourself – the high-pressure lamp can explode if mishandled.

What do the error codes mean?

If an error occurs, the STATUS indicator blinks red and an error code appears on the LCD screen. Common codes: 1 (Lamp Cover Open), 2 (Over Temp Lamp), 3 (Fan Stop), 5 (Lamp Unlit), 123 (OverTime Bulb). Refer to the 'Error code list' in the appendix for full descriptions and contact your dealer for service.

Can I control the projector via a web browser?

Yes. Connect the projector to your network via the LAN port. Open a web browser and enter the projector's IP address (e.g., http://192.168.10.10/index.html). You can then control power, switch titles, adjust lens, and view projector status from the browser interface.

How do I shut down the projector properly?

Press the POWER button (or POWER OFF on remote) for 3 seconds. The cooling fan will run for about 3 minutes (POWER indicator blinks orange). After cooling stops (indicator stays orange), turn the main power switch to OFF and disconnect the AC power if not in use for an extended period.

Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

1. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture. Tilting the front of the projector up or down from level could reduce lamp life. Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is on. Doing so may cause damage to the projector.
2. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.
3. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm internal components.
4. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring your projector could damage internal components.
5. To carry the projector, a minimum of four persons are required. Do not hold the lens part and the anamorphic lens part with your hand. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, causing personal injury.
6. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
7. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling: a Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
   b The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
   c In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
   d Please consult your dealer for more information.
   e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.

Power Supply

1. The projector is so designed that it operates with the power supply voltage described below.
   • 1.2kW (Max. 12A) AC100-120V 50/60Hz
   • 1.7kW (Max. 8.5A) AC200-240V 50/60Hz
   Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

2. Consult your dealer for installing the power cord to the projector. DO NOT install the power cord by yourself. Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock.

3. Handle the power cord carefully and avoid excessive bending. Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.

4. If the projector will not be used for an extended period of time, shut down AC power.

5. Placing the power cord and the signal cable closely to each other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat noise is not generated. Beat noise is corruption of the picture often seen as a rolling band moving through the image.

6. Do not touch the projector during a thunder storm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

Cleaning

1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your projector and a wall. Allow at least 20 inches (50cm) of space between the ventilation outlet and object.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service person.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel if liquid has been spilled.
4. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
5. Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
6. When using a LAN cable: For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive Voltage.

CAUTION: High Pressure Lamp May Explode if Improperly Handled. Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.

Lamp Caution: Please read before operation

Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment, there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended hours, the risk of explosion increases. Please note that there is a warning system built in, that displays following message when you reach a preset operating time "Over Time Bulb". When you see this message please contact your dealer for a replacement. If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the back of the unit. Do not stand in front of the vents during the operation. This smoke is comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immediately and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

CAUTION

Never unplug the projection head power plug from the outlet or disconnect the breaker under the following conditions. Doing so can damage the projector.

• While projecting images
• While cooling after the projector has been turned off. (The POWER indicator blinks in orange while the fan is rotating, and the LCD screen is displaying “cooling...”. The cooling fan continues to work for 3 minutes.)

Remote Control Precautions

• Handle the remote control carefully.
• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
• Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/-) aligned correctly.

Effective range of the remote control

To operate the remote control using infrared rays, and not using the remote control cable, point the remote control transmission unit toward the remote control reception unit on the projector. Signals from the remote control can generally be received within the range shown in the figure below.

(Note) The effective range depicted in the figure may differ slightly in actual use.

Using the remote control cable

Use the remote control cable when there are objects that interrupt or obstruct the space between the remote control reception unit on the projector and the remote control, or when you are using the remote control beyond its effective range. Note that the remote control cable is connected first to the remote control, then to the projector head.

Notes for use of the remote control

• Do not drop or handle the remote control in a careless manner.
• Do not allow the remote control to be splashed with water or any other liquid. If the remote control should get wet accidentally, wipe the liquid off immediately.
• Be sure to use the remote control in a place free from heat or dampness as far as is practicable.
• The remote cable is connected first to the remote control, then to the projector head. The leading end of the remote cable is the power supply unit, so be careful not to touch the other end of the remote cable to the projector head or other devices while only the remote cable is connected to the projector.

If you still cannot get any response, pull out and then reinsert the LAN card on the projector. Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by and specifying http:///index.html in the entry column of the URL.

6-4-2. Preparation before use

Make network connections and set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations. Operations with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from a browser not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.

6-4-3. Handling of the address for operation via a browser

Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is with the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been registered in the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the "HOSTS" file of the computer being used.

(Example 1) When the host name of the projector has been set to "pj.nec.co.jp"

http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL to access HTTP server functions.

(Example 2) When the IP address of the projector is "192.168.10.10"

http://192.168.10.10/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL to access HTTP server functions.

1	CD	Carrier detection	Not used (N.C.)
2	RXD	Reception data	Data transmission to an external device
3	TXD	Transmission data	Data reception from an external device
4	DTR	Data Terminal ready (Note 1)	Connection to 6 pins
5	GND	Signal GND	Signal GND
6	DSR	Data set ready (Note 1)	Connection to 4 pins

6-7-2. Remote control input connector (REMOTE IN) (Stereo mini)

Connected with the projector's remote control the accessory remote cable.

When the remote cable is connected to this connector, the remote cable connector operates with the following functions.

The DC voltage supplied from the projector to the remote control is approximately +4.0 V.

NOTE

The remote control cable is connected first to the remote control, then to the projector head.

The leading end of the remote control cable is the power supply unit, so be careful not to touch the other end of the remote cable to the projector head or other devices while only the remote control cable is connected to the projector.

TIP

Even if the remote cable power supply unit and GND unit (such as the projector head) should short, the protective function inside the projector will activate to prevent the shorted cable from damaging the projector.

6-7-3. LAN port (LAN-A, LAN-B) (RJ-45)

Use Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX UTP (Unshielded Twist Pair cable) to connect with a video server or a PC. A switching hub exists inside, so there are no functional differences of either the LAN-A or LAN-B ports.
