Important Safeguards

These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and heed all warnings.

Installation

1. For best results, use your projector in a darkened room.
2. Place the projector on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.

To avoid premature lamp failure, do not tilt the front of the projector up or down by more than 15^ from level.

1. Do not place your projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.
2. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.
3. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.
4. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
5. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:

a. Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.
c. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
d. Please consult your dealer for more information.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector.

Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel.

1. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
2. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
3. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
4. Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
5. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
6. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
7. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
8. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
9. Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

CAUTION

1. Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the right and rear side (when seen from the front) 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.

Before putting the projector in the soft case, be sure to retract the feet. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.

1. When carrying the projector, heed the following:

2. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables are disconnected before moving the projector.

3. Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap so as not to scratch the lens surface.

4. Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

5. Select "High" in the Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select [Advanced] [Fan Mode] [High].)
6. 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 projector is turned on.

• While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 60 seconds after the projector is turned off).

• If you accidentally turn off the main power by disconnecting the power cable or press the main power switch during cooling down, wait 10 minutes and then turn on the projector to resume. This is to protect the lamp.

Lamp Replacement

To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page E-45.
- 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.

If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.

• Allow a minimum of 60 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.

• The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.

2. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

This section describes how to set up your projector and how to connect video and audio sources.

Your projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:

1 Set up a screen and the projector.
2 Connect your video equipment or computer to the projector. See page E-16 to E-19.
3 Connect the supplied power cable. See page E-20.

NOTE: Ensure that the power cable and any other cables are disconnected before moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

Setting Up the Screen and the Projector

Selecting a Location

The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 30^ (0.76 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 1.2 m/46 inches (HT410) and 1.0 m/40 inches (HT510) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 200^ (5.0 m) when the projector is roughly 8.0 m/316 inches (HT410) and 6.7 m/263 inches (HT510) from the wall or screen. Use the drawing below as a guide.

NOTE:

• Values in parentheses for HT410.
• Screen size for 16:9
• The distances are indicated by intermediate values between tele and wide. Use as a rule of thumb.

Throw Distance and Screen Size

The following shows the proper relative positions of the projector and screen. Refer to the table to determine the position of installation.

B = Vertical distance between lens center and screen center

C = Throw distance

= Throw angle

NOTE: Distances may vary +/-5%.

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.

Rear Projection Applications

The projector has the ability to be used in a rear projection application. When used with a third party mirror and frame system, rear projection allows you to achieve a larger image size in less distance than a traditional front projection installation. If space constraints exist, please contact your authorized NEC reseller regarding a rear projection solution. Refer to page E-38 on how to change the projector orientation for use in a rear projection application.

Using the Lens Shift Feature

• Manual vertical lens shift provides simple vertical image positioning. Rotate the Lens Shift Dial to move the lens up or down.

CAUTION:

When the lens shift dial gives resistance, it means the lens shift mechanism has reached the minimum or maximum range of vertical shift.

Do not turn the lens shift dial beyond this limit as it may damage the lens shift mechanism.

Lens Shift Range

The diagram below shows the amount of vertical lens shift that is available.

B=Vertical distance between lens center and screen center.

Making Connections Connecting Your DVD Player

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 the supplied S-Video cable to connect a compositeVIDEO output of the DVD player to the Video Input of the projector.

Use an audio cable (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.

1. 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 VCR or Laser Disc Player

Use S-Video or RCA cables (provided) to connect your VCR, laser disc player or document camera to your projector.

To make these connections, simply:

1. Turn off the power to the projector and VCR, laser disc player or document camera.
2. Connect one end of your RCA or S-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 (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.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back in fast-forward or fast-rewind via a scan converter.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

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.

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your projector will enable you to project your computer's screen image for an impressive presentation.

To connect to a PC or Macintosh, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2. Use the supplied RGB/VGA signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh to the projector.
3. Turn on the projector and the computer.
4. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the projector.

To connect SCART output

Before connections, the supplied exclusive SCART adapter (VIDEO to SCART with audio L/R) and a commercially available SCART cable are required.

1. Turn off the power to the projector and your video equipment.
2. Use the SCART adapter to connect the Video input of the projector and a SCART output of your video equipment.
3. Turn on the power to the projector and your video equipment.
4. Press the SOURCE button on the projector cabinet or Video button on the remote control to select "Video" input.

Connecting the Supplied Power Cable

Connect the supplied power cable to the projector.

First connect the supplied power cable's two-pin plug to the AC IN of the projector, and then connect the other plug of the supplied power cable in the wall outlet.

CAUTION

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 projector is turned on.
• While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 60 seconds after the projector is turned off).

3. PROJECTING AN IMAGE (BASIC OPERATION)

This section describes how to turn on the projector and to project a picture onto the screen.

Turning on the Projector

NOTE:

• The projector has two power switches: a main power switch and an ON/STAND BY button.
• When plugging in or unplugging the supplied power cable, make sure that the main power switch is pushed to the off (O) position. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.

To turn on the main power to the projector, press the Main Power switch to the on (1) position.

The POWER indicator will light orange.

Before you turn on your projector, ensure that the computer or video source is turned on and that your lens cap is removed.

Only after you press the ON/STAND BY button on the projector cabinet or POWER ON button on the remote control for a minimum of 2 seconds will the power indicator turn to green and the projector become ready to use.

See page E-49 for more details.

NOTE: The POWER and STATUS (LED) indicators blinking green at the same time indicates the main power was interrupted during previous operation. Wait for 60 seconds (cooling period) to see if the lamp turns on by itself.

Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)

When you first turn on the projector, you will get the Startup screen. This screen gives you the opportunity to select one of the 9 menu languages.

To select a menu language, follow these steps:

1. Use the SELECT or button to select one of the 9 languages for the menu.

1. Press the ENTER button to execute the selection.

After this has been done, you can proceed to the menu operation.

If you want, you can select the menu language later. See "Language" on page E-38.

NOTE: Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is not a fault. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp lighting is stabilized.

When the Lamp mode is set to Eco, the Lamp indicator will light green.

If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on.

• If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector's internal components to cool down.
• When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.
• If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power.

Selecting a Source

Selecting the computer or video source

Using the cabinet buttons

Computer

Component
Video
S-Video

Press the SOURCE button.

Press and quickly release the SOURCE button on the projector cabinet to display the Source list. Each time the SOURCE button is pressed, each source name will be highlighted in sequence.

Using the Remote Control

Press any one of theVIDEO,S-VIDEO,C-VIDEOorCOMPbuttons.

NOTE: If no input signal is available, the projector will display a blue background (factory preset).

Adjusting the Picture Size and Position

Place your projector on a flat level surface and ensure that the projector is square to the screen.

Lift the front edge of the projector to center the image vertically.

• If the projected image does not appear square to the screen then use the Keystone feature for proper adjustment. See page E-26.

Move the projector left to center the image horizontally on the screen.

Using the Adjustable Rear Foot

The adjustable rear foot provides the projector with a horizontal tilt adjustment.

If the projector is placed on an uneven surface, keep the projector level by pushing down the left or right rear part of the top cabinet with both hands.

NOTE: A spacer is attached to the adjustable rear foot to provide stability.

Remove the spacer before using the adjustable rear foot.
