High temperature Caution

The temperature of the cabinet around and above the exhaust vents can become hot during projector operation. Touching these areas during operation could cause burns to the hands. Do not touch these areas. Doing so may cause burns. Pay particular attention in preventing young children from touching these parts. Additionally, do not place any metal objects on these areas. Due to the heat from the projector, doing so could cause an accident or personal injury.

Ceiling mounting the projector

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If not, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a proper projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. We recommend that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts.

Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.

JVC LX-NZ30B - Shutting down the projector - 2

Avoid turning on the projector immediately after turning it off as excessive heat may shorten light source life. The actual light source life may vary due to different environmental conditions and usage.

Selecting an input source

The projector can be connected to multiple equipment at the same time. However, it only displays one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the available signals.

If you want the projector to always automatically search for the signals:

- Go to the SYSTEM menu, and then enable Auto Input Search. (see "Auto Input Search" on page 26)

To select the video source:

  1. Press INPUT to display the source selection bar.

HDMI 1 HDMI 2 DP USB

  1. Press ▲/▼ until your desired signal is selected and press OK.

Once detected, the selected source information displays on the screen for seconds. If there are multiple pieces of equipment connected to the projector, repeat steps 1-2 to search for another signal.

Refer to "Projector specifications" for the native display resolution of this projector. For best display picture results, you should select and use an input signal which outputs at this resolution. Any other resolutions will be scaled by the projector depending upon the Aspect Ratio setting, which may cause some image distortion or loss of picture clarity. See "Aspect Ratio" for details.

Adjusting the projected image

Adjusting the projection angle

The projector is equipped with 2 adjuster feet. These adjusters change the image height and projection angle. Screw the feet in or out as appropriate to aim and level the projection angle.

If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes vertical trapezoidal. To correct this, see "Correcting keystone" for details.
