LAMP HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
properly as mentioned below.
• A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or expiration of
lifetime.
• The lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is
not guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life
in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
• A lamp gradually becomes darker with time of use.
• If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE indicator
lights up twice), chances of explosion become higher. Replace the lamp with a new one
immediately.
• Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and
broken shards of the lamp.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES
If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector
and they may come out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury.
Open windows and doors for ventilation.
If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp enter your eyes or
mouth, consult the doctor immediately.
If a lamp explodes, its shards may scatter inside the projector. Ask the Canon
service representative to clean and check the inside of the projector and
replace the lamp.
DISPOSAL OF WASTE LAMP
Dispose of the mercury lamp of the projector according to the local regulation
just like the fluorescent lamp.
CARRYING/TRANSPORTING THE
PROJECTOR
This projector is a precision machine. Do not give a strong shock to the projector or turn it
down.
Thoroughly read “Use Caution When Carrying or Transporting the Projector” below and install
the lens cap before carrying the projector. When transporting the projector by train or airplane,
use a highly crashworthy transport case.
Use Caution When Carrying or Transporting the Projector
The carrying bag is intended for protection from dust and scratches on the surface of the
cabinet, and it is not designed to protect the projector from external shocks. When carrying the
projector with it put in the carrying bag, do not give a shock to it, drop it, or place anything on it.
Do not transport the projector through a courier or transport service with the carrying bag. The
projector can damage.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that the projector is installed with a minimum distance of 1 m (3.3') from its left,
right, rear, and top panels to the neighboring object such as a wall.
Pay Attention to Hot Air from Exhaust Vent
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. Do not place any object near the exhaust vent.
• Do not put any spray can near the vent.
The internal pressure increases due to heat,
resulting in explosion.
•
Do not put any metallic object. It may become
hot, resulting in an accident or injury.
• Do not put anything such as a plant pot.
• Do not put anything that may deform or
deteriorate due to heat.
• Do not put an audience seat near the
exhaust vent.
Do not put anything that may deform or discolor due to heat on the projector. The area
around the exhaust vent and the cabinet above the exhaust vent become hot. Do not touch
these areas, or you may get burnt. Especially, keep children away from these areas.
Do Not Use in the Following Environments
Do not install the projector in a humid or dusty place or a place where there is much oily
smoke or cigarette smoke. Optical parts such as a lens and mirror are stained, resulting in
poor picture.
Do not use the projector in a place where the temperature becomes very high or low.

• Install the projector at the position where the projection distance is about 1.2 m (3.9') to
9.1 m (29.9'). If the installation position is too close, the image is out of focus. If the
installation position is too far, the screen becomes dark.
• The sizes in the above table have been obtained assuming that the aspect ratio is 4:3.
They may vary from the actual sizes depending on the type of the projected image.
For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table
on page 85.

Determining the Installation Place
Placing in Front of the Screen
Place the projector in front of the screen in such a manner that it is as perpendicular to the
screen as possible.
Screen
Optical axis
A slight error in the projection angle can be corrected using the KEYSTONE
button. (P31)
Placing on a Level Place
Place the projector on a level place.
• Make sure that the installation place is free from any obstacle that may block the
exhaust vent (fan) on the right side of the projector and the air intake vent (air
filter) on the bottom of the projector.
• The screen must not be exposed to direct sunlight or light from lighting
equipment. In a bright room, it is recommended to limit ambient lighting in order
to improve the image quality.
Note
This projector can be hung from the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side down.
When a translucent screen is used, the projector can project an image from behind the
screen (Rear).
When the projector is hung from the ceiling or projector projects an image from behind the
screen, the image must be inverted vertically or horizontally. (P61)
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. RS-CL01)
are required.

Adjusting the Projection Angle
The projection angle can be adjusted with the adjustable foot.
Before making this adjustment, connect the computer and AV equipment and project an
image on the screen.
1
Lift the front of the projector and
push the adjusting foot lock.
The adjustable foot extends with
the spring force.
Adjust the projection angle while
pushing the adjustable foot lock,
and then release the lock.
2
With the adjustable foot, the projection angle can be adjusted up to 10 degrees.
Adjust the longitudinal tilt of the projector to +/-20 degrees or less. If the tilt is more
than 20 degrees above and below, a lamp problem can result.
If Keystone Distortion is Large
Extending the adjustable foot too far causes keystone distortion (the projected picture is
trapezoidal). If the distortion is large, adjust the height of the pedestal of the projector.
The keystone distortion can be corrected using the KEYSTONE button. (P31)

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Projector
Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from accumulating on the surface.
A dirty lens can affect the quality of the projected image.
• The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until
the projector cools down sufficiently before cleaning the projector. You may get
burned or injured.
Caution
• Before cleaning, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC outlet.
Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
Cleaning the Projector Body
Softly wipe the projector body with a soft cloth.
If the projecter is heavily soiled, use a small amount of detergent diluted with water, damp
a cloth with this solution, squeeze the cloth hard, wipe the projector body with this cloth,
and finish with a dry cloth.
• Using volatile cleaning liquid or benzine may damage the projector body
surface. When using a chemical dust cloth, read the instructions thoroughly.
• To clean the lens, use a commonly available air blower or lens cleaning paper.
Caution

Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
An air filter is installed in the air intake vent on the bottom of the main body to protect the
internal lens and mirror from dust. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, it will
block the air flow into the projector and causing an internal heat buildup which may cause
a problem.
• The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until
the projector cools down sufficiently before cleaning the air filter. You may get
burned or injured.
Caution
• Before cleaning or replacing the air filter, be sure to remove the power plug
from the AC outlet. Electric shock or fire may result.
• Do not insert any object into the projector through the air filter opening. You
may suffer electric shock or injury due to the high-voltage parts or rotating
parts.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Turn the projector upside down, remove the cover by pushing the latch, remove the air
filter, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner.
When cleaning dust off the side exhaust vent and the bottom air intake vent, bring the
vacuum cleaner nozzle close to them directly.
• Clean the air filter frequently.
• After cleaning the air filter, install it following the removal steps in reverse.
Procedure for Replacing the Air Filter
Turn off the projector, remove the power

Replacing the Lamp
When the time of use of the lamp is 1400 hours or longer, the following message (two
types) is displayed for 10 seconds each time the projector is turned on.
• When the time of use is 1,400 to 1,500 hours

menu. (P74)
• When replacing the lamp, turn off the projector, wait until the cooling fan
stops, remove the power plug from the AC outlet, and let the projector stand
for at least 1 hour. You may get burned because the main unit is very hot
immediately after the projector is turned off.

Glossary
Analog RGB
A signal system used to send information about R (red), G (green), and B (blue) with analog
values. It is a typical system for connecting a color monitor to a computer. Connect the
analog RGB output terminal of the computer and the DVI-I/RGB IN-1 terminal or RBG-2/
COMPONENT IN/RGB OUT terminal of this projector with a monitor cable. When the RGB
IN-1 terminal is used, select “ANALOG RGB-1” by pressing the [COMPUTER-1] button.
When the RGB IN-2 terminal is used, select “ANALOG RGB-2” by pressing the
[COMPUTER-2] button.
Digital RGB
A signal system used to send information about individual display dots with digital values.
This system is free from deterioration of image quality because of no analog conversion.
Connect the DVI output terminal of the computer and the DVI-I/RGB IN-1 terminal of this
projector with a connection cable and select “DIGITAL RGB” by pressing the [COMPUTER-
1] button.
Video
An output terminal widely used for AV equipment. It is also called a composite output
terminal (pin terminal or RCA terminal). For more details, refer to “Composite”.
S-video
A signal system (YC separation signal) used to send a brightness signal (Y) and color signal
(C) separately. Connect the S-video terminal of AV equipment and the S-VIDEO IN terminal
of this projector with an S-video cable and select “S-VIDEO” by pressing the [VIDEO/S]
button.
Component
A signal system used to send a color signal (C) with it divided into a B-Y color difference
signal and an R-Y color difference signal. This system can project a better-quality image as
compared with the composite signal system. Connect the video terminal of AV equipment
and the RGB-2/COMPONENT IN/RGB OUT terminal with a component cable and select
“COMPONENT” by pressing the [COMPUTER-2] button.
Composite
A video signal system used to send a brightness signal (Y) and a color signal (C) together.
Connect the composite output terminal (RCA) of AV equipment and the VIDEO IN terminal of
this projector with a video cable and select “VIDEO” by pressing the [VIDEO/S] button.
sRGB
An international standard of color representation (color space) which is applied to digital
cameras, displays and others. If you select sRGB, the projector can project the best-quality
image conforming to the sRGB Standard.

Progressive
An image display system used to display the entire screen per scan. When an interlace
signal (video signal) that displays one screen by two scans (one for odd lines and one for
even lines) is input, progressive processing is required. When the progressive function is
turned off, one screen is displayed using image signals per interlace signal, deteriorating the
vertical resolution of the image. When the progressive function is turned on, one screen is
displayed using image signals per two interlace signals, improving the vertical resolution of
the image. Turn off the progressive function when flickering and horizontal lines are
noticeable on a fast-moving picture.
Resolution
The number of dots (horizontal dots x vertical dots) that can be displayed on a computer is
called “resolution of display”. Resolution indicates the size of the display area (amount of
information).

Selecting SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050 dots) as the display resolution of the computer allows
this projector to project high-resolution images. If your computer does not have the SXGA+
option, select the maximum resolution among the selectable options.
Gamma Correction
A tone adjustment system used during projection of image data. The gamma correction
function works effectively when portions of an image are obscure because they are too light
or dark.
This projector supports manual gamma correction, automatic gamma correction, and
dynamic gamma correction.
DVI-I
A digital video signal connection interface. This interface allows digital data to be sent and
received without conversion to analog data, assuring high image quality with no signal
degradation. The DVI-I (integrated) connector can be used to send and receive analog RGB
video signals in addition to digital signals.
