Frequently Asked Questions - PR9030 Planar

How do I turn on the Planar PR9030 projector?
Connect the power cord, set the power switch to I (ON), wait for the POWER indicator to light steady orange, then press the STANDBY/ON button on the projector or remote control. The lamp will light and the indicator will turn green.
How do I adjust the lens shift?
Use the vertical lens shift dial to move the image up/down and the horizontal lens shift dial to move left/right. These are located near the lens. It is recommended to shift the picture upward for best results.
How do I correct keystone distortion automatically?
Press the KEYSTONE button on the remote control, then select AUTO from the dialog and press the ▶ button. The projector will automatically correct vertical keystone. Alternatively, use MANUAL to adjust horizontally and vertically.
How often should I clean or replace the air filter?
Clean the filter when the FILTER TIME indicator appears or when you notice reduced airflow. The filter time can be reset after cleaning. Replace the filter if it is damaged (part 997-5466-00). Regular cleaning prevents overheating.
What should I do when the lamp needs replacement?
When the LAMP indicator lights red or the message 'Replace the lamp' appears, turn off the projector and wait 45 minutes for cooling. Remove the lamp cover, replace the lamp unit (part 997-5465-00), and reset the lamp timer in the OPTION menu.
How do I clean the lens?
Turn off the projector, unplug it, and let it cool. Lightly wipe the lens with a commercially available lens-cleaning wipe. Do not touch the lens directly with your hands.
Why is there no picture but the projector is on?
Check the lens cover is removed. Ensure the input signal cables are correctly connected and the correct input source is selected. Also verify the BLANK mode is not active (press BLANK button) and the brightness is not set too low.
How do I use the remote control as a mouse?
Connect the projector's USB port to your PC via a USB cable. Then the remote control's lever switch and cursor buttons simulate keyboard keys, and the mouse left/right buttons work as mouse clicks. Ensure the PC's built-in pointing device is disabled if needed.
What are the safety warnings I should know?
Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on (strong light). Avoid touching the lamp cover and exhaust vents during or after use – they are hot. The lamp contains mercury; recycle according to local laws. Do not point the laser pointer at people or pets.
How do I reset the projector to factory settings?
Go to the OPTION menu, select SERVICE, then FACTORY RESET. This will reset all settings except lamp/filter time, language, and security passwords. Confirm the reset when prompted.

⚠ WARNING ▶ Do not disassemble or modify the projector.

▶ Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.

⚠️ CAUTION ▶ Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

▶ Use appropriate accessory or designated cables. Ask your dealer about non-accessory cables which may be required a specific length or a ferrite core by the regulations. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with the core to the projector.

▶ Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.

Connecting your devices (continued)

NOTE • Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal timing, and the resolution.

- Be sure to consult to the administrator of the network. Do not connect LAN port to any network that might have the excessive voltage.

- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.

- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals which are not supported by this projector.

- Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA (1600X1200), the signal will be converted to the projector's panel resolution before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.

- While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable's connector fits the port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with screws.

- When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC's external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop PC.

- When the picture resolution is changed on a computer depending on an input, automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select "Yes/No" for the new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

- In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.

About the remote control signal

The remote control works with the projector's remote sensors. This projector has three remote sensors on the front, on the top, and on the back.

The sensors can be respectively turned active or inactive using the “REMOTE RECEIV.” in the SERVICE item of OPTION Menu (48). Each sensor senses the signal within the following range when the sensor is active.

The front and top sensors:

60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor) within 3 meters about.

The back sensor:

40 degrees (20 degrees to the left and right of the sensor) within 3 meters about.

NOTE • The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be available. If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the signal reflect.

- The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the remote control's signal to the projector.

- The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct sun light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the position of projector avoiding those lights.

HIGH VOLTAGE

Planar PR9030 - HIGH VOLTAGE - 1

HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE

⚠ WARNING ▶ The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector's vent holes.

▶ About disposal of a lamp: This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.

  • For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).
  • For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).

For more information, call your dealer.

Planar PR9030 - HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE - 1

Disconnect the plug from the power outlet

  • If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector's internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
  • If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
  • Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

Planar PR9030 - HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE - 2

- Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

- Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from a ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp's bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

- Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

Planar PR9030 - HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE - 3

- Use only the lamp of the specified type.

- If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, contact your local dealer or a service representative.

- Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

- Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
