Chapter 1 Preparation
This chapter describes things you need to know or check before using the projector.
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
- When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage the internal components and result in malfunctions.
- Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
■Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
■Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
- Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components or malfunction.
- Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
- Places with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may result in deformation of the projector body due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) when using it at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it at high altitudes (1 400 m (4 593') or higher – lower than 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level). - Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
- Place where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP chips.
■ Be sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the projector to a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
Model No.: ET-PKR100H (for High Ceilings), ET-PKR100S (for Low Ceilings), ET-PKR100P (for portrait)
■ Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGITAL LINK connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
■ The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the
■ Focus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the focus.
■ Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
■ When installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30^ vertically, set [COOLING CONDITION] ( page 79).
Failure to observe this may shorten the life of the components or result in malfunctions.
■Do not use the projector with the connecting terminal side up.
Using the projector at an angle that exceeds the available angle of 210^ may result in malfunctions. If setting up the projector at an angle that exceeds 210^ is required, consult your dealer.
● Available angle in horizontal direction
● Available angle in vertical direction for the portrait setting
■ For the portrait setting, set the projector directly facing the screen.
- If the projector is vertically installed in the portrait setting, the keystone correction for the vertical tilt is not available. In this case, the keystone correction works for the horizontal tilt.
■Cautions when setting up the projector
- To install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a floor standing installation, fix the projector using the four screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown in the figure).
(Screw diameter: M4, tapping depth inside the set: 10 mm (13/32"), torque: 1.25 ± 0.2 N·m)
Make a clearance of at least 12 mm (15/32") between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting spacers (metallic) etc. between them.
- Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may damage the set.
The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet
- Do not stack projectors on top of each other.
- Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector.
- Prevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system to blow directly to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector.

Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
Cautions on use
■To get a good picture quality
- In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
■ Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.
■DLP chips
- The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that such phenomena does not indicate malfunction.
- Directing a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP chips.
Light source
The light source of the projector uses LED and lasers, and has the following characteristics.
- The luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The runtime until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half differs depending on the setting of the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [LIGHT POWER]. It is approximately 27 000 hours when [LIGHT POWER] is set to [NORMAL], approximately 61 000 hours when set to [ECO1], and approximately 87 000 hours when set to [ECO2]. These hours are the estimated durations when the projector is used without change in the setting of [LIGHT POWER], and these vary depending on individual differences and usage conditions. The runtime is not the warranty time. If the light source goes off or the brightness reduces noticeably, ask your dealer about replacement of the light source unit.
■Computer and external device connections
- When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded cables as well.
- When inputting digital signals to the
terminal, use a commercially available cable with a ferrite core.
■Viewing 3D images
The projector can display 3D image signals that are input through various systems such as "frame packing" and "side by side". You need to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which are compatible with your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, see the instruction manuals of external devices you use. Connections vary depending on your 3D system.
Refer to "List of 3D compatible signals" ( page 135) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projector.

Projection distance formulas
To use a screen size not listed in this manual, check the screen size SD (m) and use the following formula to calculate projection distance. Unit for calculations: m (The values of the following calculation results contain a slight error.)
| 4:3 aspect ratio | 16:9 aspect ratio | 16:10 aspect ratio | |
| Screen size Height (SH) | = SD x 0.6 | = SD x 0.490 | = SD x 0.530 |
| Screen size Width (SW) | = SD x 0.8 | = SD x 0.872 | = SD x 0.848 |
| Projection distance (L) | = 0.8670 x SD - 0.0476 | = 0.7084 x SD - 0.0476 | = 0.7659 x SD - 0.0476 |
Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a flat surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the projection screen is rectangular. If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted to be rectangular by adjusting the adjustable feet. The adjustable feet can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in a horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the figure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.

Attention
- Be careful not to block the intake/exhaust with your hands or any objects when adjusting the adjustable feet when the light source is on. (→ page 23)
- When there is trapezoidal distortion, execute the [POSITION] menu → [KEYSTONE].
Connecting
Before connecting
- Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
- Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
• Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions. - When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
- Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
- When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
- Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is either not supplied with the device or not available as an option.
- If video signals from AV equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may randomly wobble or waver. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
- The projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
- Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
- Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
- Refer to "List of compatible signals" (→ page 133) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector.
