Safety Precaution  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC  
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO  
RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly  
and operate the projector properly.  
This projector provides many convenient features and  
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to  
manage those features and maintain it in good condition for  
many years to come.  
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the  
product life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other  
accidents.  
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this  
manual again, check operations and cable connections, and  
try the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the back  
of this manual. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer  
where you purchased the projector or the service center.  
This projector produces intense light from the projection  
lens. Avoid staring directly into the lens as much as possible,  
otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially careful  
that children do not stare directly into the beam.  
Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may  
result in fire hazard.  
Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,  
and rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper air  
circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimensions shown  
here indicate the minimum space required. If the projector  
is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these  
minimum distances must be maintained.  
Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat build-  
up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also  
be dangerous.

Safety Instructions  
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before  
the product is operated.  
This projector should be operated only from the type of power  
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of  
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or  
local power company.  
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for  
later use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply before  
cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp  
cloth for cleaning.  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can  
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on  
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord  
may be damaged by persons walking on it.  
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.  
For added protection to the projector during lightning storm, or  
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,  
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage due to  
lightning and power line surges.  
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening  
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage  
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing to  
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.  
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for  
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...  
Do not use attachments not recommended by the  
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.  
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that  
are covered by the operating instructions as improper  
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will  
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to  
restore the projector to normal operation.  
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been  
damaged.  
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in  
performance, this indicates a need for service.  
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or  
table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child  
or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with  
a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold  
with the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the  
manufacturers instructions, and should use a mounting kit  
approved by the manufacturers.  
An appliance and cart combination  
should be moved with care. Quick stops,  
excessive force, and uneven surfaces  
may cause the appliance and cart  
combination to overturn.  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
technician has used replacement parts specified by the  
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original  
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric  
shock, or injury to persons.  
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are  
provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the  
equipment and to protect it from overheating.  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector,  
ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to  
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.  
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other  
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked  
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar  
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a  
radiator or heat register.

Installation  
Connecting the AC Power Cord  
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100 – 120 V or 200  
– 240 V AC and it automatically selects a correct input voltage. It is  
designed to work with the single-phase power systems having a  
grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
do not plug into any other type of power system.  
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult  
your authorized dealer or service station.  
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before turning  
it on.  
CAUTION  
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the  
projector.  
The AC outlet must be near this equipment and must be easily  
accessible.  
For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector is not  
in use.  
When the projector is connected to an outlet with the AC  
power cord and the Main On/Off switch is on, it is in stand-by  
mode and consumes a little electric power. Turn the Main On/  
Off switch off when the projector is not in use.  
NOTE ONTHE POWER CORD  
AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector.  
Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used.  
If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

Maintenance and Cleaning  
Cleaning the RGB panels  
Blemishes such as dust and dirt on the internal optical components of the projector tend to degrade the brightness of the  
screen and are likely to appear as a shadow on the screen, which can lead to deterioration of image quality.  
This projector has the RGB panel cleaning holes on the underside for cleaning of the internal parts (such as optical  
components) of the projector. When you use the projector for a lengthy period of time or a shadow of dust appears on the  
projected screen, clean the inside of the projector.  
Using the supplied air blower and with the Cleaning function in the Setting Menu (p.42), you can remove the dusts from the  
projector.  
Note:  
• Dust might not be removed completely with these steps.Then contact the dealer where you purchased the projector or service  
center.  
CAUTION IN USINGTHE AIR BLOWER ANDTHE NOZZLE  
O Turn the projector over when using the blower.  
O Use only the supplied air blower and nozzle to keep the projector from being out of order or  
damaged. We could not guarantee the malfunction or breakage caused by other tools.  
Oꢀ Never use a commercially available compressed air duster. It causes the interior of the projector to  
malfunction with release of cold liquid propellant.  
Oꢀ Put the projector on a soft cloth to prevent scratching the surface.  
O Open the hole cover only when you clean the inside of the projector.  
O Do not look into the holes. A strong light could damage your eyes. (Do not look into the Air intake  
vent and Exhaust vent, too.)  
O Use the blower and nozzle only to clean the projector. Do not attempt to use them for other  
purposes. Do not use the blower and nozzle against persons (particularly to eyes, mouth, or ears).  
Be especially careful to ensure that children do not put the blower and nozzle into their mouth and

LAMP HANDLING PRECAUTIONS  
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling may result  
in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.  
O Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the  
same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other  
similar lamps.  
O If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if the LAMP REPLACE indicator lights up, replace  
the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.  
(Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp  
with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
O A Lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime draws  
to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp  
are being used.  
IF A LAMP EXPLODES,THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BETAKEN.  
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projectors AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service  
station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no  
broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken  
shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are  
authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit  
by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by  
pieces of broken glass.
