Notes

  • When the projector is moved from a cold location to a warm location, or when the ambient temperature in the projection room has risen suddenly, moisture may condense on the lens or the internal optical section to blur the projected pictures. In such a case, leave the projector for an adequate time (1 to 2 hours, depending on the room's condition) before using it, so it adjusts to the ambient temperature.
  • If the screen is exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light, the projected picture becomes too faint to see. Shut out the light with curtains or other means.
  • If the screen and the projector are not installed properly, the projected picture may be distorted.

Notes

  • The projector consumes about 20W of power in the standby mode. We recommend you to unplug the power cord when not using the projector for long periods of time.
  • Be sure that the LAMP indicator has turned off before unplugging the power cord. Cutting the power by unplugging the power cord while the projector is operating or the light source lamp is being cooled will shorten the lamp's duration life. Should a fault or some other irregularity arise with this unit, unplug the power cord.
  • When reinserting the power plug before the lamp has cooled, please wait until the lamp has cooled sufficiently before use. When the lamp is at a high temperature, it may not light and the duration life will be shortened.

Notes

  • Automatic adjustment may not be performed properly for signals other than the computer's signals with which the projector is compatible.
  • The horizontal position, vertical position, sampling phase and sampling frequency can also be adjusted from the menu screen. 47
    * Sampling frequency

Analog RGB signals input from the computer are converted into digital signals inside the projector. The sampling frequency is the number of times per second the analog signals are converted into digital signals. In order to capture (sample) each individual dot of the computer's signals, the sampling frequency must be adjusted to match the computer's dot clock frequency. If this adjustment is off, details of the image may be blurred, a striped pattern may appear when images with many vertical lines are displayed, or the image's width may change. For computer's signals with which the projector is compatible, the sampling frequency is adjusted automatically even without pressing the AUTO SET button.

* Sampling phase

The sampling phase is the timing at which the computer's analog RGB signals are sampled. If the sampling phase is off, the individual dots cannot be sampled at the proper timing, resulting in blurred or flickering images.

Air filter cleaning

CONTENTS

CAUTION

If you use the projector mounted on the ceiling, ask the dealer to carry out the maintenance such as cleaning.

The filter inside the air filter cover is the part to shut out dusts or dregs.

Do not use the projector with the filter taken off.

We recommend you to clean the air filter frequently. (The cleaning period is once per about 50 hours).

1 Unplug the power cord.

Cleaner's

Clean the air filter.

Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully remove any dust and dirt from the air filter cover, air filter and filter frame.

Be careful that the air filter is not sucked into the vacuum cleaner.

Air filter cleaning (continued)

CONTENTS

Notes

  • When the air filter is dusty, the ventilation is impaired. This causes the temperature inside the projector to rise, and may damage the unit.
  • Attach the air filter cover firmly after the cleaning. If it is not set correctly, the dusts will enter and they will be projected and overlapped on the picture.
  • If you wash the air filter with water, be sure to let it dry fully before reinstalling it. Using it damp will result in malfunction.
  • If the air filter is damaged, contact your store of purchase and replace it with a new one. Using a damaged air filter will cause dust or dirt to get inside the projector and onto the images.

  • Pull out the power cord before cleaning.
  • Use a soft cloth to wipe off stains from the surface.
    • To remove difficult stains, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a weak solution of synthetic detergent and water, and finish with a soft, dry cloth.

Replacing the intake, exhaust fans and air filter

To maintain the efficiency of the projector, replace the intake and exhaust fans about every two to three years. Ask the dealer for the replacement.

Lamp replacement

CONTENTS

The lamp will eventually begin to project dark or dull pictures and finally will not light up.

(Lamp's life length depends on the use condition.)

In such a case, replace the lamp with new one.

CAUTION

  • If you use the projector mounted on the ceiling, ask the dealer to carry out the maintenance such as cleaning or replacement of the lamp.
  • When replacing, always use lamp "TLPL78" (sold separately). For detail, refer to the lamp instruction.
  • If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause burn injuries. Wait for the lamp to cool (for longer than 1 hour) before replacing it.
  • If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces and contact your dealer for repair service.

Notes

  • Signal sources marked "***" are displayed in compressed format, so some of their data may be missing or their picture quality may be degraded.
  • With analog RGB inputs, if the signal source's dot clock frequency exceeds 165 MHz, not all of the pixel signals can be sampled.
  • For digital RGB inputs, the projector is not compatible with signal sources whose dot clock frequency exceeds 162 MHz.
