Installing the Projector

Precautions during Installation

Please read the following carefully before installing this unit.

Do not install at the following

This unit is a precision device. Please refrain from installing or using it at the following locations. Otherwise, it may cause fire or malfunction.

• Dusty, wet and humid places
- Places subject to oily smoke or cigarette smoke
- On top of a carpet or bedding, or other soft surfaces
- Places exposed to direct sunlight
- Places with a high or low temperature

- Do not install this unit in a room that is oily or subject to cigarette smoke. Even a small quantity of smoke or oiliness can have a long-term impact on this unit.

* This unit produces a great amount of heat, and is designed to take in cool air to cool its optical components. Using the unit at the above locations may cause dirt to attach to the light path, thereby resulting in dark images or dull colors.

* Dirt that sticks to the optical components cannot be removed.

Maintain clearance from the wall, etc.

As the unit discharges a large amount of heat, install it with adequate clearance from the surroundings as shown below.

Leave the front area of the unit unblocked. If there is any obstructing object in front of the exhaust vent, hot air will flow back to the unit and cause it to heat up. Hot air flowing out of the unit may cast shadows on the screen (heat haze phenomenon).

Using the projector

This unit uses a projection lamp, which will heat up when in use.

Please refrain from projecting in the following circumstances. Otherwise, it may cause fire or malfunction.

• Projection with the unit stood vertically

- Projection with the unit inclined at an angle Horizontal inclination: within ± 5°

Vertical inclination: within ± 15°

- Malfunction may occur if the angle is not set within the abovementioned range.

Installing the screen

Install the unit and the screen such that they are perpendicular to each other.

• Please choose a screen material with non-uniform patterns. Uniform patterns such as checks may cause interference patterns to occur.
• In this case, you can change the size of the screen to make the interference patterns less noticeable.

Using the projector at a high altitude

When using this unit at a location that is higher than 900 m above sea level (low air pressure), set the "High Altitude Mode" to "On". (P. 53)

Precautions during Mounting

Securing (mounting) the projector

• When this unit is to be mounted to a fixed position for use, install it horizontally.
  • Make sure to secure the main unit to prevent accidents such as during an earthquake.

Securing with screws

Remove the four feet at the bottom, and fasten using the screws (M5 screws, 13 to 23 mm).

* Using screws other than those designated may cause the unit to break down.
* Leave a clearance of at least 10 mm from the bottom surface of the unit to allow it to take in cool air.

Securing the projector (ceiling mount)

• Be sure to ask your dealer to install the unit for you. Installing the unit on your own may cause the unit to fall resulting in injury.
  • Take the necessary actions to prevent the main unit from falling off such as during an earthquake.
• Regardless of the warranty period, JVC is not liable for any product damage caused by mounting the unit with non-JVC ceiling fittings or to an environment that is not suited for ceiling mount.
• When using the unit with it suspended from a ceiling, pay attention to the surrounding temperature. When a heater is in use, the temperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected.
• To attach the unit to the ceiling mount bracket, set the torque between the range of 1.5N m to 2.0N m. Tightening with torque exceeding the above range may cause damage to the unit, which may result the unit to fall.
