Lamp Handing Precautions

DANGER

This SHP uses a high voltage glass mercury vapor lamp. The lamp can break or fail to light if handled wrongly during replacement or because of the projector's surrounding temperature. Lamp life also varies according to the lamp with some even breaking or failing to light as soon as they are used the first time. If the lamp breaks, glass fragments may be scattered inside the lamp unit and projector, and gas inside the lamp bulb that contains mercury vapor may be emitted from the projector's vent. Before use, carefully read the projector user guide and the lamp replacement instructions. Remember to handle the lamp with care. In the event of serious trouble, call for Marantz authorized dealer.

• Do not look directly into the lamp with bare eyes while lit. The bright light can cause sore eyes and impair vision.
• Do not directly expose skin to the light of the lamp. Direct exposure can inflame the skin.
• Do not drop, impact, subject to excessive force or otherwise damage the lamp.
• Replacing the lamp runs the risk of burns and electric shock, therefore shut OFF power supply, unplug the AC power cord from AC power outlet and wait at least 60 minutes for the lamp to cool down before attempting to replace it.
• If the lamp breaks, unplug the AC power cord from AC power outlet and call for Marantz authorized dealer to replace it. Do not replace the lamp yourself or clean up broken glass inside the projector as this can result in cuts and burns to you or damages inside the projector.
• If the projector is hung from a ceiling or installed in a high place, it is extremely dangerous to replace the lamp. In this case, do not replace or handle the damaged lamp yourself.

CAUTION

• The chance of the lamp breaking is high after extended use. It is recommended to replace the lamp when near the end of its designed life. Do not use a lamp beyond the maximum lighting time.
• Use only Marantz original lamp units. Check the model code of the lamp unit matches that in the user guide.
• Before replacing the lamp, read carefully "Lamp Unit Replacement" in the user guide. Replace the lamp as explained therein.
• Entrust disposal of a used lamp to a licensed industrial waste handler or return it to the place of purchase. Do not break the lamp or discard with general waste.
• If the lamp breaks, leave the area immediately and stay away for at least 30 minutes, and ventilate the room so as not to inhale the mercury vapor.
• If you inhale the mercury vapor, see a physician immediately and follow his instructions.

VORSICHT :

Concerning the Setup of the Projector

For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, avoid humidity, dust and cigarette smoke.

When the projector is subjected to these environments, the lens and part of ventilation holes must be cleaned more often than usual. As long as the projector is properly maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be performed by an Marantz Authorized Dealer, or Service Center.

Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 41 °F to 95 °F (+5 °C to 35 °C) Storage temperature: -4 °F to 140 °F (-20 °C to +60 °C)

Notes on Operation

- The exhaust ventilative hole, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may get extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.

- Allow at least 1 foot (30 cm) of space between the exhaust ventilative hole and the nearest wall or obstruction.

- If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes.

Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the projector to the normal operating condition.

1. Turn the Focus ring to make an adjustment.

Adjust the focus for the sharpest image possible to obtain, using focus pattern.

1. Press the PATTERN button again to hide the focus pattern. This completes fine focusing.

Note :

Focus Pattern Color by Lens Shift Position (P.16)

The focus pattern changes color depending on the lens position. There are two colors and they can be used for checking the quality of the projected image. The white focus pattern uses the highest optical performance to maximize the sharpness of the projected image. To enjoy the highest sharpness, it is recommended to position the lens within this range.

When the lens is shifted outside the aforementioned range, the focus pattern turns green. Rough focusing in this range looses image sharpness.

Adjusting the zoom position from WIDE to TELE enhances sharpness even at the same lens position.

Adjusting the Image Position

You can adjust the image position with the Lens Shift knob.

◆Turn the Lens Shift knob to clockwise : The image goes up.

✿Turn the Lens Shift knob to counterclockwise : The image goes down.

Adjusting the Height

You can position the projected image by changing the height of the projector's adjusters.

1. Move the adjuster lever to the left or right to enable adjuster changing. Carefully lift the projector.
2. Once having positioned the projector, return the adjuster lever as before to lock in place. Check the adjusters are securely locked before releasing your hands from the projector.
3. Turn the adjuster to fine-adjust the height.

Picture Mode

This unit has four picture modes: Theater, Standard, Dynamic and User. The picture quality recommended by Marantz Is already set for each mode. The User mode has eight gamma curves that can be chosen and saved by users. Also, the Theater, Standard and Dynamic modes three indexes for memorizing picture quality adjustments. Similarly, the User mode has nine, making a total of 18 indexes available for use.

Picture mode	Index
Theater	Default, 1, 2, 3
Standard	Default, 1, 2, 3
Dynamic Default	1, 2, 3
User	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

– Theater: Reproduces the black suited for movie software.
- Standard: Suited for normal movie software.
– Dynamic: Suited for visually dynamic image software.
- User 1-9: Enable the user to adjust the gamma curve as preferred. (P.25).

Picture mode selection

There are two ways to select the Picture mode: selecting a mode from the MENU screen or pressing the picture mode buttons (THTR, STD, DYN) on the remote controller. To use the remote controller buttons to select a picture mode, make sure the MENU screen does not appear on the screen and press the desired picture mode button any number of times. (Iss* P.6)
