- Transporting the projector

- Use the special packaging when transporting the projector. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility in the event of damage or accident if other packaging is used.

- Use the special packaging no more than two times. Repeated usage reduces the shock absorbency of the packaging and can lead to damage or accident.

- Contact the retailer if you require new packaging.

- Lamp implosion

- An AC type New Super High pressure lamp is used in this projector and it is rare for the lamp to explode during use. The lamp is also designed to forcibly turn off because there is a high possibility that the lamp will break if it is used beyond the lamp usage of 1500 hours (Refer to pages E-54 and E-55).

Note the following things

• A noise occurs because the internal pressure of the New Super High pressure lamp gets extremely high.
  The unit is designed so that no pieces of glass come out of it when the lamp explodes.
• However, the gas inside of the lamp can escape and looks like white smoke. It will not cause any fire.

Remedy

- If a lamp explodes in a product, there will be pieces of lamp inside. Do not replace the lamp. Return the product to the sales office or agent of purchase. Even though the lamp has exploded, never try to replace the lamp by yourself. The lamp pieces could cause injury.

- Replacing the lamp

• Be sure to turn the lamp off and disconnect the power cord when the fan stops, and wait an hour or more before replacing the lamp.
  Replacing the lamp during operation or just after the power is turned off may cause burns due to heat.
  Refer to "Lamp Unit Replacement" on page E-54 for the procedure.

- Replacing / cleaning the air filter

• Be sure to disconnect the power cord when the cooling fan stops before removing the air filter.
  Removing the air filter while the cooling fan is rotating could cause a burn. Refer to “Cleaning the Air Filter” on page E-56 for the procedure.

- Avoiding malfunctions and accidents

• Adjust the Adjustable feet to keep the projector horizontal.
  Using the projector in a tilted status may cause injury if it turns over. Refer to "Adjusting the Tilt" on page E-18 for the adjusting procedure.

- Do not disassemble the manganese batteries

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or burn the manganese batteries.
  Doing so could cause the batteries to generate heat or explode due to the leaked solution, resulting in fire, injury, or damages to the surrounding area.

- Do not do the followings

• Do not put anything heavy on the projector.
• Do not step on the projector, rack, or stand. Do not hold or hang on the projector.
  Doing so could cause the projector to turn over or break, resulting in injury. Especially be careful if small children are near.

- Do not use the rack unless the casters are locked when placing the projector on a rack with casters. Doing so may cause the projector to move or turn over, resulting in injury.

- Do not turn the lamp on/off within one minute after it is turned off/on. Extremely high voltage is generated in the lamp just after it is turned on. Turning the lamp on/off too frequently could cause the lamp to deteriorate or break, resulting in malfunctions of the projector.

- Do not project an image with the lens cap attached.

- Moving the projector

• Be sure careful of the glass surface when moving the projector while holding the handles with both hands.
• If not inserted fully, the materials cover may get loose and fall off while you carry it.

- Care of the power cord and plug

• Do not put the power cord near a heater.

■ Adjusting the Tilt

The position and tilt angle of the projected image can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustable feet. Press both the left and right tilt adjustment levers to lift the main unit, and release them when the desired height is reached. You can fine-adjust the tilt by turning the bottom section of the adjustable feet. Turning this section counterclockwise raises the main unit, and turning it clockwise lowers the main unit. Also, you can adjust the tilt angle by turning the adjustable foot located on the rear left of the main unit.

CAUTION

• Do not tilt the main unit at extreme angles by turning only one side of the adjustable feet. Doing so may cause the main unit to slip or fall down, resulting in accidents or failures.
• Vent A on the bottom of the main unit takes in air to cool the inside of the projector. As air is taken in by large suction force, cloth or paper may be sucked in against the vent. If this happens, the temperature inside may build up, and cause an accident or failure.
• The rubber feet may soil the installation surface depending on where the projector is installed.

■ Projection Distance and Projected Image Size

Use the following diagrams to determine the projected image size and the type of screen required for any given projector location.

- The projection distance that provides good focusing is 1.4 m (1.5 yd) to 13.9 m (15.2 yd) from the front of the lens. Install the projector within this range.

Wide: The largest image that can be projected by adjusting the image with the zoom lens.

Tele: The smallest image that can be projected by adjusting the image with the zoom lens.

CAUTION

Installation location

• Do not install the projector in excessively hot or cold locations. The ambient temperature should be within 0^ to 35^ ( 32^ to 95^ ).
• Position the projector so that the screen does not directly receive sunlight or other light from other lighting. Otherwise, the projected image becomes white and is difficult to view. In a bright room, use a curtain or other means to darken the area around the screen.
• Do not install the projector where it will be subject to excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke. Otherwise, image quality may deteriorate as dirt builds up on the lens, mirrors and other optical components.
• Do not install the projector in a small room with poor air circulation or any place where the air vents may be blocked. Temperature build-up inside the projector may result in fire or a failure. (Vents are located on the bottom and right side of the projector.)

■ Typical Installation

1. Connect the power cord (supplied), and press the ○ button (or ⏻) button.)

1. Turn the direction of the lens so that it is perpendicular to the screen.

Turn the unit to the left or right so that the top and bottom lines of the projected image are parallel.

1. Adjust the adjustable feet to move the projected image to the desired height. (Adjust the tilt angle between 0^ to 7^ .)

The position of the projected image can be moved up or down by adjusting tilt.

■ Compensating Keystone

If the projected image is distorted, you can eliminate the distortion by doing keystone compensation.

● How to Compensate Keystone

Press the KEYSTONE button (or the KEYSTONE button on the remote controller) to display the "Keystone menu."

Keystone menu

Press the △ button to make the top of the projected image narrower.

Press the ▽ button to make the bottom of the projected image narrower.

Press the ◀ button to make the left side of the projected image narrower.

Press the ▷ button to make the right side of the projected image narrower.

Press the ○ button (or the Ⓞ button on the remote controller) to return to "0" (No compensation).

NOTE

• When keystone compensation is performed, the resolution at the edges of the projected image is reduced, making small characters difficult to read. To prevent this, place the projector on as level a surface as possible, and set the Keystone menu to "0" (No compensation).
• As image processing is performed for keystone compensation, displayed images (characters, etc.) are displayed slightly blurred when keystone compensation is used compared with when it is not used.
• When displaying an image with VGA resolution less than 640 x 480 pixels with a excessive horizontal keystone compensation may cause parts of the image to become fuzzy. See page E-25 for more information.
• The degree to which keystone compensation can be adjusted depends on the image signal.
• If the horizontal value is adjusted to its largest (or smallest) the vertical adjustment value can not be moved in the plus direction when doing keystone compensation.

NOTE

• This projector uses a 15-pin RGB input and an analog type output terminals. For this reason, it cannot be connected to a digital output type personal computer.
• Plug and play is not supported.

■ About RGB Video Output

● Signal timing

The following shows the timing that signals are output from the RGB video output terminal. (XGA 60Hz speed or equivalent)

The video signal output is determined by whether "PC/OHP" or "OHP" is selected in "RGB-OUT Selection" on the "Setting 2" menu. See page E-45 for more information.

Vertical sync signal	5 Cycle6 Sync signal width7 Back porch8 Display interval	806 H6 H29 H768 H
Scan mode		Non-interlaced

NOTE

• The screen is sometimes not displayed normally depending on the monitor or projector that is connected.
• Images from a PC are output in standby.

■ When Images on the Personal Computer Screen are not Projected

Check the following when images on the personal computer screen are not projected or projected images are incorrect.

● When images are not projected

When external output signals are input to the MP-50E from the PC, "No signal" is displayed on the screen. When this is displayed, check the following.

1 Try restarting the personal computer.

The MP-50E is sometimes not recognized by the PC if it is connected after the PC is started up. If this happens, images are not projected as external output signals are not output from the PC.

2 Check the functions on the personal computer.

Some notebook PCs require a special operation to transmit the signals from the external output terminal. The external output signals may not be transmitted from the notebook PC unless the operation is performed. Refer to the manuals of your notebook PC for the information about how to output signals from the external output terminal.

Procedure example

• In the case of IBM PC/AT:

Press Fnkey together with one of the keys, F1-F12. This procedure may vary depending on the model.)

● Images are not projected correctly even though they are displayed normally on the notebook PC screen

1 Verify the functions of the notebook PC.

Even if the LCD screen of a notebook PC displays normal images, the projected images may be displayed incorrectly. In most cases, because of the limitations of the notebook PC, the simultaneous display function (the external output signals are sent out simultaneously while the images are displayed on the PC screen) produces signals, which do not satisfy the standard specification and are outside the range supported by the projector. In this case, the incorrect display images can not be corrected even if the fine adjustments are made at the projector side. The correct images may be projected if only external output signals are provided without using the simultaneous display. Refer to the user's manual of your notebook PC for details.

■ Input Signal Compatibility Table (PC video input terminal)

The MP-50E supports the signals marked by ● in the following table. Note that on some PC models, flickering and blurring occur in the projected image. If this happens, adjust the projected image in the Sync Adjustment menu.
