CAUTION

1. Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the front and side as it can become heated while the projector is turned on.
2. Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.
3. Do not send the soft carrying case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft carrying case could be damaged. (However, it is possible to use it as a carriercase on board.)
4. Select "High Speed" in the Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Setup] [Page 2] [Fan Mode].)
5. Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances.

Doing so can cause damage to the projector:

• While the Hour Glass icon appears.
• While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.

• While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 90 seconds after the projector is turned off).

• Do not eject the PC card while its data is being accessed. Doing so can damage your PC card data.

• Do not hold the lens part with your fingers. Doing so could pinch fingers or hands causing injury.

Lamp Replacement

To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-43.
- Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

WARNING

• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.
• Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41^ ( 5^ ) and 95^ ( 35^ ).
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.

Reflecting the Image

Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror. If you're using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the MENU and SELECT buttons on your projector cabinet or buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page E-33.)

Making Connections

Wiring Diagram

NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.
If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power management software.
If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 90 seconds and then press the POWER button again to resume.

Use the supplied composite video cable to connect your VCR or laser disc player to your projector. To make these connections, simply:

1. Turn off the power to the projector and VCR or laser disc player.
2. Connect one end of the composite video cable to the video output connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc player, connect the other end to the Video input on your projector. Use an audio cable (not supplied) to connect the audio from your VCR or laser disc player to your audio equipment (if your VCR or laser disc player has this capability). Be careful to keep your right and left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
3. Turn on the projector and the VCR or laser disc player.

NOTE: Refer to your VCR or laser disc player owner's manual for more information about your equipment's video output requirements.

You can connect your projector to a DVD player with component output or Video output. To do so, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your projector and DVD player.
2. If your DVD player has the component video (Y,Cb,Cr) output, use the supplied component video cable (RCA× 3) to connect your DVD player to the COMPONENT IN connectors on the projector.
   For a DVD player without component video (Y,Cb,Cr) output, use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect a composite Video output of the DVD player to the Video Input of the projector.
   Use an audio cable (not supplied) to connect the audio from your VCR or laser disc player to your audio equipment (if your VCR or laser disc player has this capability). Be careful to keep your right and left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
3. Turn on the projector and DVD player.

NOTE: Refer to your DVD player's owner's manual for more information about your DVD player's video output requirements.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially available pin adapter (not supplied) to connect to your Mac's video port.
