WARNING:

Do not look at or place your skin into the light emitted from the lens while the projector is being used.

Doing so can cause burns or loss of sight.

• Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens. Do not look at or place your hands directly into this light.
  ● Turn off the power when moving away from the projection lens or projector.

Do not project an image with the lens cover attached.

● Doing so can cause fire.

Do not allow children to reach the spacer.

● The spacers can cause personal injury if swallowed.
- If the spacers are swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

CAUTION:

Before replacing the projection lens, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet.

● Unexpected projection of light may cause injury to eyes.
● Replacing the projection lens without removing the power plug may result in electric shock.

Do not stand in front of the lens while the projector is being used.

Doing so can cause damage and burns to clothing.

- Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens.

Do not place objects in front of the lens while the projector is being used.

Doing so can cause fire, damage to the object, or malfunction of the lens and projector.

- Strong light is emitted from the projector's lens.

Do not open the desiccant bag. Do not eat the contents.

Inadvertently ingesting desiccant could be harmful.

• If the desiccant gets into your eyes or mouth, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
• Keep desiccant out of the reach of children.

Note

● This manual omits the alphabets at the end of projector model numbers.
- Models other than the above may also be supported. Refer to the operating instructions of the projector you are using.

Attaching / removing the projection lens

Before replacing the projection lens

Return the projection lens to the home position before replacing or removing it. For details on how to return the lens to the home position, refer to the operating instructions of the projector.

Attention

• Make sure that the projector power supply is switched off before attaching or detaching the projection lens.
  ● After removing the projection lens, store it safely away from vibration or impacts.
• Do not touch the electric contact points of the projection lens with your fingers. Dust and dirt on the contacts may cause contact malfunctions, while static electricity may damage the unit.

4-ENGLISH

Attaching / removing the projection lens (continued)

• Do not touch the surface of the lens with bare hands. Finger prints and dirt on the surface of the lens will be magnified by the lens and lower the quality of the projected image. Place the supplied lens cover on the zoom lens when the projector is not in use.
• The lens is made of glass. The lens could be damaged if brought into contact with or rubbed against hard objects. Handle the lens carefully.
• Use a clean, soft and dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt from the projection lens.
  Do not use fl uffy cloths containing oil, water or dust for cleaning. The lens is easily damaged, so do not apply excessive pressure when wiping it.

Attaching the Lens / Detaching the Lens

For details on attaching or removing the projection lens, refer to the operating instructions for the projector.

Making Adjustments

Correcting the Focus

When the projection lens is attached to the projector and images are being projected onto the screen, the peripheral focus may be out of focus in some localized areas. In such cases, use the supplied spacers to correct the focus of these areas, and perform adjustments so that the entire image is even.

Relationship between lens orientation and screen focus

If the projection lens is tilted with respect to the plane of the screen, uneven focus will result. For example, when the front side of the lens (screen side) is tilted downward as shown in the figure below (direction of the dotted arrow), the upper part of the screen will be tilted backward and the lower part of the screen will be tilted forward.

Procedure for correcting the focus

Attention

● Turn off the projector before removing the projection lens.

Note

- Focus correction requires some technical skill. Be sure to have a person with knowledge of projectors or a service technician to perform adjustments.

Making Adjustments (continued)

Fig. 1

Fig. 2
1) Install the projector in the installation location, and turn it on to project an image.
2) Move the lens to its home position.
3) Operate the projector to shift the focus of the entire projected image toward the front of the screen.
4) Operate the projector to shift the focus toward the screen a little bit at a time until one of the areas A to D in Fig. 1 just comes into focus on the screen, and then stop.

- In this state, the "just focus points" of the unfocused areas are positioned just in front of the screen. The distance between this position and the screen is the correction distance.

5) Insert the spacers between the body of the projector and the lens mounter, as shown in Fig. 2.

- Remove the lens mounter from the projector, and insert the spacers in the positions that correspond to the unfocused areas.

- The "just focus points" of the areas for which you inserted spacers will be corrected toward the rear of the screen.

● Make sure the adhesive surfaces of the spacers face the lens mounter when inserting them.

● The correction distance is determined by the thickness and quantity of spacers inserted. Insert spacers according to the correction distance.

(The unit for correction distances derived from the formulas in the following table is millimeters.)

Spacer Color	Thickness		Correction distance during projected image size SD (m)
	Clear 0.1 mm SD × SD × 51.5
	Black	0.2 mm SD × SD × 103
	Cream	0.3 mm SD × SD × 154.5

Correction distance guide: When the projected image size is 1.52 m (60 in.), the corrected distance when one 0.1 mm thick spacer is inserted is 120 mm.

Attention

- Installing the lens mounter, be careful not to put wiring between the lens mounter and the projector unit.

Note

- The illustrations of projectors in this manual are for informational purposes only and do not represent a specific projector model. Configurations may vary with the model.

Projection relationships (continued)

Attention

• To prevent blocking of the intake and exhaust vents, maintain clearances from walls and objects of at least 1 000 mm (3'3") for the exhaust vent and at least 500 mm (1'8") for the intake vent.
• Avoid setting up in places which are subject to sudden temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner or lighting equipment (studio lamps, etc.).

■ Dimensional relationship

For details on the projection distance (L), refer to “Projected image size and Projection distance” and “Projection distance formulas” in the Appendix.

Note

- For details on “Projected image size and Projection distance” for projector models other than PT-MZ770 / PT-MW730 / PT-MZ670 / PT-MW630 / PT-MZ570 / PT-MW530 / PT-EZ770 / PT-EW730 / PT-EX800, refer to “Setting up” in the operating instructions of the projector.

Lens shift ranges

Perform the lens position shift within the adjustment range.

Perform lens shift adjustment within the ranges shown in the following illustrations. Moving the lens outside of the adjustment ranges may alter the focus. The focus may change when the lens position is shifted out of the adjustment range. This is because the movement of the lens is restricted to protect the optical parts. Projection position can be adjusted with the optical axis shift based on the home position in the respective range.

Note

• Lens shifting cannot be performed when a fixed-focus lens (model no.: ET-ELW21) is attached.
  ● The home position of the projector a point of origin position for the lens shift (i.e., vertical and horizontal positions of the lens) based on the results of lens calibration. It is not the optical center position of the screen.
