■Precautions on transport

Make absolutely sure that the lens cap is in place when transporting the projector or carrying it around. Both the projector and the projection lens are precision-made and, as such, are susceptible to vibration and impacts. When transporting the projector and lens or carrying them around, place them in the boxes in which they were housed at the time of purchase, and take care to keep them away from vibration and impacts.

■ Precautions on installation

Be sure to observe the following precautions when installing the product.

- Avoid installing the product in a place exposed to vibrations or impacts.

If the projector is installed in a place where vibrations are transmitted from a source of driving power and others or mounted in a car or a vessel, vibrations or impacts may be transmitted to the product to damage the internal parts, causing failure. Install the product in a place free from vibrations and impacts.

- Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibration or impact.

The service life of its internal motors may be shortened.

- Do not install the projector near high-voltage power lines or power sources.

The product may be exposed to interference if it is installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical power lines or power sources.

- Do not place the projector on a vinyl sheet or carpet.

If a vinyl sheet sucked up and blocks the air filter intake port, the internal temperature of the projector may increase, which triggers the protection circuit, turning off the power.

- Be sure to ask a specialized technician when to install the product to a ceiling.

If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an optional hanging attachment (for high ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD55) (for low ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD55S) and call a specialized technician for installation.

- Do not place the projector over 2 700 m (8 881.5') above sea level. When using it over 1 400 m (4 605.3') above sea level, set the "Fan Control1", described on page 35, to "HIGHLAND".

Otherwise the life of the product may be shortened.

■ Disposal

To discard the product, call the dealer or a specialized dealer.

■Precautions on use

- To view clear images:

- The audience cannot enjoy high-contrast and clear images if outside light or the illumination interferes the screen surface. Draw window curtains or blinds, turn off the lightings near the screen or take other proper measures. - In rare cases, wafture can occur on the screen affected by the warm air from the exhaust port depending on the environment.

- Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hand.

If fingerprints or stains are left on the projection lens surface, they are magnified and projected on the screen. Keep your hands away from the lens. Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap when the projector is not used.

- Lamp

A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used for the light source of this product. A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics:

- It may burst with a loud sound or end its life cycle by not illuminating because of given impacts, flaws, or deterioration due to used hours.

- The life cycle of a mercury lamp varies according to the individual difference or conditions of use. In particular, turning the power on and off frequently and/or repeatedly will greatly affect the life cycle.

- In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first lighting.

- The possibility of burst increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time.

Cleaning and maintenance

Be sure to remove the power cord plug from the receptacle before cleaning.

Use soft and dry cloth to clean the cabinet

If stains are hard to remove, use a cloth dampened with a kitchen detergent solution (neutral) and squeezed to wipe the cabinet and finish with a dry cloth. If a chemical wipe is used, follow its instructions.

Do not clean the lens surface with fuzzy or dusty cloth.

If dust adheres to the lens, it will be magnified and projected on the screen.

Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe off dust.

■Setting projector ID number to remote control

Every projector has its ID number and the ID number of the controlling projector must be set to the remote control in advance so that the user can operate the remote control. The ID number of the projector is set to "ALL" on shipping, and use the ID ALL button of the remote control when using only a single projector.

Procedure of ID setting

① Change the position of the operation mode selector switch to "Computer".
② Press the ID SET button, and within five seconds use the number (0 to 9) buttons to enter the 2-digit ID number set by the projector.
③ Change the position of the operation mode selector switch to "Projector".

However, if the ID ALL button is pressed, the projector can be controlled regardless of the ID number of the projector (simultaneous control mode).

Attention

• Do not press the ID SET button accidentally or carelessly because the ID number on the remote control can be set even when no projector is around.
  If the ID SET button is pressed, the ID number goes back to the one set before pressing the ID SET button unless a numeric button is pressed within five seconds after the ID SET button is pressed.
• Your specified ID number is stored in the remote control unit unless another one is specified later. However, the stored ID will be erased if the batteries of the remote control are left exhausted. When the dry cells are replaced, set the same ID number again.

Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above table can be calculated using the formulas below.

$$ \mathrm{LW} = 0. 0 3 7 0 \times \mathrm{SD} - 0. 0 6 5 0 $$

$$ \mathrm{LT} = 0. 0 4 8 8 \times \mathrm{SD} - 0. 0 6 3 8 $$

$$ (L W, L T: m \quad S D: i n c h) $$

For 16 : 9 aspect rations, the following formal can be used to calculate the screen width (SW).

$$ \mathrm{SW} = (\mathrm{SD} \times 0. 0 2 5 4) \times 1 6 \div 3 3 7 $$

The value for SW obtained above can then be used with the following function to calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).

$$ \mathrm{LW} = 1. 8 2 3 \times \mathrm{SW} - 0. 0 6 5 0 $$

$$ \mathrm{LT} = 2. 4 0 3 \times \mathrm{SW} - 0. 0 6 3 8 $$

Note

- The dimensions in the table above and the values obtained from the above formulas may contain slight errors.

• It is recommended that you use the projection distance for the wide lens position.
• The above dimensions are the case when the aspect ratio is 4:3. When an SXGA signal is input and projected, the right and left ends of the picture will be blanked the aspect ratio will be 5:4.

■ Setup precautions

• Before connecting any of your video/audio equipment to the projector, carefully read the owners manual supplied with the equipment once again.
• All cable connections should be made with the entire system devices, including the projector, first turned off.
• Obtain commercial interconnecting cables for devices supplied with no accessory or optional interconnect cables.
• Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or shake. Inserting a time base corrector (TBC) in the projector's video line will relieve this problem.
• The projector only accepts composite-video, S-video, analog-RGB (with TTL sync. level), and digital signal from PC.
• Some PC models are not compatible with the PT-D5500U/D5500UL projector.

Note

• For the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, see the data sheet on page 56.
• If your PC has the resume feature (last memory), the computer may not function properly until the resume capability is disabled.
• When the SYNC ON GREEN signal is input, do not input sync signals to the SYNC/HD and VD terminals. Doing so may disrupt the images since, rather than using synchronization initiated by the GREEN signal, the sync signals of the SYNC/HD and VD terminals will be used instead. Even if the images are not disrupted, the white balance may be lost. If this is the case, select "USER" as the "COLOR TEMP" setting (see page 29), and adjust "W-BAL LOW".
• The white balance may be lost when the SYNC ON RGB signal is input. If this is the case, select "USER" as the "COLOR TEMP" setting (see page 29), and adjust "W-BAL LOW".

④ Press the “○” marked side of the MAIN POWER switch to remove all power from the projector.

Attention • Do not turn the power supply off and then immediately back on again.

Turning on the power supply will not light up the light source lamp if the lamp is in the process of cooling down after turning off the power supply. To light up the lamp, turn on the power supply again when the lamp has been cooled sufficiently.

Turning on the power supply with the lamp in the hot condition may shorten the lamp life.

Note

• The projector consumes approximately 10 watts of power even in standby mode after the cooling fan stops. (Power indicator lit in red)
• If you re-power the projector after shutting off the main power inadvertently, the projection lamp may remain unlit. Please turn the power on again after a while.

■Direct power off function

The power supplied internally causes the cooling fan to continue operating and cool off the lamp when the power has failed or even after the power cord is disconnected immediately after the power has been turned off.

Note

• When the lamp has been cooled by the direct power OFF function, it sometimes takes longer than usual for the lamp to light up again.
• While the cooling fan is operating, do not place the projector inside a box or bag.
• The operation time of the cooling fan will be less if fewer than 2 minutes have elapsed since the power was turned on.

■How to adjust the lens focus, lens zoom and lens up/down position movement (optical shift)

The focus, zoom and up/down position of the images projected on the screen can be adjusted while the projector is positioned appropriately in relation to the screen.

① Press the LENS button on the remote control or on the control panel of the main unit.

Pressing the button changes the setup screen in the order of "Lens focus", "Lens zoom" and "Lens shift".

Attention

- Move the lens left/right adjustment dial to any position up to the maximum adjustment position to make the adjustment. Turning the dial with undue force may cause malfunctioning.

Automatic adjustment (AUTO SETUP)

Automatic adjustment function adjust the resolution, clock phase and image position automatically when dots-structured analog RGB signals such as computer signal are supplied. (Automatic adjustment is not available if signals other than analog RGB signals, moving picture input signals or signals having a dot clock frequency of more than 100 MHz are supplied.) It is recommended to supply images with a bright white frame at the outermost periphery containing characters etc. that are clear in white and black contrast when the system is in automatic adjustment mode. Avoid supplying images that involve halftones or gradation such as photographs and computer graphics.

Note

• “CLOCK PHASE” may have been shifted even when the adjustment ended normally. In this case, manually adjust the “CLOCK PHASE”.
• Automatic adjustments cannot be performed when images with blurred edges or dark images are input. With C-SYNC and G-SYNC sync signals and some types of PCs, it may not be possible to perform these automatic adjustments.

In this case, manually adjust the items of "INPUT RESOLUTION", "CLOCK PHASE" and "POSITION".

- Image may be disturbed for about 4 seconds during automatic adjustment, which is not an abnormal error.

POSITION ASPECT 4 : 3 ZOOM CLOCK PHASE 16 KEYSTONE FRAME LOCK OFF SELECT RETURN ENTER

■ POSITION

The position where the images are displayed can be moved here.

◀ ▶: The position is moved horizontally.

▲ ▼ : The position is moved vertically.

■ASPECT

AUTO : (For S-Video/Video signals only) If an S1 video signal is applied to the S-VIDEO port, the picture is automatically switched to the 16:9 aspect ratio. When video signals with a video ID (VID) are applied to the video port, the picture is automatically switched to the 16:9 aspect ratio.

16:9 : The image is vertically compressed into a 16:9 ratio.

4:3 : The aspect ratio inherent to the input video signal is left intact when projected onto the screen.

S4:3 : Picture size is compressed to 75% of the original picture size when projected. (This mode is useful when viewing pictures with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio on a wide screen with the 16:9 aspect ratio.)

What Is S1 Video?

• The S1 video is the wide-aspect-ready S-video format containing an aspect sense signal for squeezed videos fed from video equipment.
• If "AUTO" is chosen, the projector automatically compresses the squeezed input video into the 16:9 aspect ratio if it detects the aspect sense signal.

Attention

If you choose an aspect ratio that does not match the source video's aspect ratio, you will see a picture with an aspect ratio not the same as that of the original picture. Choose the appropriate aspect ratio carefully to match that of the original picture.

Note

• If the picture size is compressed or enlarged by using the 16:9 aspect ratio when the projector is used for profitable purpose or in the presence of an audience (for example, in a coffee shop or at a hotel etc.), it may infringe the rights of the copyright owner of the original picture.
• If a picture with the standard (4:3) aspect ratio is projected at a wide aspect ratio, parts of the picture may run over the screen bounds or the overall picture may be distorted. To view the picture at its original aspect ratio, choose the standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

■ZOOM

This enables the enlargement ratio to be changed and the resulting enlarged image displayed.

◀ ▶: The enlargement ratio in the horizontal direction is changed.
▲ ▼ : The enlargement ratio in the vertical direction is changed.

■CLOCK PHASE

(For RGB/YPBPR signals only)

Clock phase adjustment allows the user to minimize visible noise with the or button.

Note

• When projecting signals whose dot clock frequency is 100 MHz or higher, the noise may not be disappear even when the clock phase is adjusted.
• Clock phase adjustment is not available for digital RGB signals.

■KEYSTONE

KEYSTONE : Keystone distortion can be corrected only along either horizontal bound of the picture.

button:

button:

Note

• Keystone distortion can be corrected to ± 30^ of the angle of tilt for the projector. However, the greater the correction amount, the more the picture quality will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.
• The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is carried out.

LINEARITY : After you are finished with keystone adjustment, adjust vertical linearity with the or button.

Vertical linearity is not adjustable if no correction was made to keystone distortion.

■FRAME LOCK

This mode is used when the images are disrupted while playing some moving images with RGB signals. For the signals which are supported, refer to page 56.

ON : Standard setting

OFF : Frame lock is set to OFF.

Lamp monitorLAMP1 LAMP2	Lighting in red	Indicates the time for replacing the lamp unit.	Did you notice a “REPLACE THE LAMP” message on the screen when turning on the projector power supply.	This lamp monitor lights up when the lamp unit used hours have reached 1 300 hours (3 800 hours when long life lamp units are used). Request the dealer to replace the lamp unit.
	Blinking in red (3 times)	Error is detected in the lamp circuit.	Did you turn the power back on immediately after turning it off?	Wait until the lamp has cooled off, and then turn on the power.
			Some error has arisen in the lamp circuit.Check for fluctuation (or drop) in the source voltage.	Turn off the MAIN POWER switch using the procedure on page 23 and consult the dealer.

- To solve any problems that the TEMP and LAMP monitor show, first turn the power off by following the steps on pages 22, 23.

- If the main power turns off after the TEMP monitor flashes, the projector has malfunctioned. Please consult your dealer.

Cleaning and replacement of air filter

If too much dust is deposited in the air filter, temperature inside the main unit will rise and the temperature monitor (TEMP) blinks, eventually turning off the power supply.

Clean the air filter section once every 100 hours or so as a guideline depending on the location of projector operation.

■ Procedure of cleaning

① Turn off the main power and remove the power plug from the receptacle.

Turn off the power supply observing the procedure (How to turn "OFF" the power supply) on page 23 and then remove the power plug.

② Dismantle the air filter.

There are two air filters, one at the left and one at the right.

Use your finger to pull the air filter tab toward you, and remove it from the main unit.

③ Clean the air filter.

Suck off deposited dust with a vacuum cleaner.

Air filter

Attention

- Be careful not to suck in the air filter itself.

④ Set the air filter.

Set the air filter in the reverse order to step ②

- Fit the air filters into place with the filter material (which looks like a sponge) facing the back. (The left and right filters have the same shape.)

- The air filter must be fitted in place when using the projector.

Using the projector without the air filter fitted inside, dirt and dust are sucked into the projector, causing failure.

Note

- If cleaning cannot remove the dust completely, then it is a sign to replace the air filter. Consult the dealer. In addition, when the lamp unit is replaced, also replace the air filter.

WARNING!

Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

WARNING!

When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before handling it.

Precautions on lamp unit replacement

Remove the power plug and confirm that the surroundings of the lamp unit have cooled off.

• Be careful when handling a light source lamp. The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled, explosion might result.
  ● A used lamp unit may burst if it is handled violently.
  For disposition of used lamps, request an industrial waste disposal contractor.
• Do not reset the cumulative time, except when the lamp unit has been replaced with a new unit.
• If you continue to use a lamp after the replacement time, the lamp may break.
  ● Philips screwdriver is necessary when replacing a lamp unit.
  Take care not to slip your hand when using a screwdriver.

■Timing of lamp unit replacement

The lamp used for the light source has its due life. The life of light source lamp used in the main unit is 1 500 hours ^※1 (when lamp output is HIGH and lamp selection is DUAL). However, it may happen that the lamp becomes dead (will not light) by the time of 1 500 hours ^※1 depending on the characteristics of individual lamps and working conditions (lamps may reduce their life affected by the times of lighting and the intervals between previous lighting and next lighting). Therefore, it is strongly recommended for the user to keep a spare bulb. If your lamp unit is not replaced after 1 300 hours ^※2 (with the lamp output set at “HIGH”), power supply will be turned off automatically at the time of 1 500 hours ^※1 , entering a standby state. After 1 500 hours ^※1 of initial lighting, power supply is turned off automatically about 10 minutes later, entering a standby state even if it is turned on again.

- Indication after 1 300 hours※2 (with the lamp output set at “HIGH”)

REPLACE THE LAMP

When lamp unit used hours have reached 1 300 hours ^※2 , lamp monitor (LAMP1 or LAMP2) light up including standby state.

Further, an on-screen indication will appear for about 30 seconds as shown in the diagram on the left, recommending replacement of lamp unit. (The indication on the left diagram will disappear after about 30 seconds or when either control button on the rear of main unit or remote control button is operated.)

After the time of 1 500 hours ^※1 , the on-screen indication will not disappear unless the menu (MENU) button is operated.

■ Lamp unit replacement steps

^1 Character “i” that follows the number of displayed dots stands for interlace signal.
^2 The symbols used to denote the image quality have the following significance:
AA = the images are projected at the highest quality; A = the images are converted by the image processing circuit and projected; B = the amount of data is scaled down and simplified images are projected.
※3 These signals support the frame lock function.

Note

- The number of display dots of the PT-D5500U (PT-D5500UL) is 1 024 x 768. If signals with a number of display dots differing from the data listed above are supplied, they will be converted into signals with 1 024 x 768 dots and displayed.

Projection distances by projection lens

The table below shows the projection distances of optional projection lenses.

For the projection distance of the standard lens provided with the PT-D5500U (equipped with lens), refer to page 17.

For instructions on how to install the lenses, refer to page 21.
