Connecting Your Devices
WARNING
• Whenever attempting to connect other devices to the projector, read thoroughly the
“Quick Start Guide”, this manual and the manual of each device to be connected.
Incorrect connections could result in fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to connect a
live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities
that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.
ATTENTION
• Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may result
in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector. Refer to the section
“Technical” of this manual for the pin assignment of connectors and RS-232C
communication data.
• Some cables may have to be used with core set. Use the accessory cable or a
designated-type cable for the connection. For cables that have a core only at one end,
connect the core to the projector.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
• Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure to activate
the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to
simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer to
the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.
NOTE
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these modes
may not be compatible with this projector.
• For some RGB input modes, an optional Mac adapter is necessary.
• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, automatic
adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, you may
not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on Windows,
and the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to use other
CRT or TFT monitors to change the resolution.
NOTE
Plug-and-Play Capability
Plug-and-Play is a system incorporated in the computer, its operating system and
peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices).
This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 1/2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by
connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel)
compatible.
• Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the
RGB port (DDC 1/2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may no t work properly if any other
type of connection is attempted.
• Please use the standard drivers in your computer, as this projector is a Plug-and-Play
monitor.
Please refer to the following (for example) for connecting your devices. See the rear of the
projector. You can see the ports.

Operating The Remote Control
CAUTION
• Do not disassemble the remote control.
• Do not place the remote control near the projector’s lens, fan, or vents.
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place objects. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you
won’t be using the remote control for an extended period.
NOTE
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.
• When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range (such
as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote sensor, the remote
control may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep light from
directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.
The remote control works with the
projector’s remote sensors.
Front remote sensor is 3 meters with a
60 degree range (30 degrees to the left
and right of a remote sensor).
Rear remote sensor is 3 meters with a 4
degree range (2 degrees to the left and
right of a remote sensor).
approximately
3 meters
approximately
3 meters
Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is difficult to send a
remote signal to the sensor directly, please try pointing it at a different angle.
Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1 LED),
be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that could block the remote
control’s output signal to the projector.
memo
You can use the remote control as a wired remote control, by connecting the REMOTE
CONTROL port of the main unit and remote control via an audio cable (3.5 dia. Stereo mini
cable with plugs).

Lamp
WARNING
HIGH
VOLTAGE
HIGH
HIGH
TEMPERATURE PRESSURE
The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that
each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start
using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into
the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent
holes
About disposal of a lamp
• This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in trash. Dispose of in accord with
environmental laws.
• For more information, call your dealer.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the
power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp
from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the
projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to
clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the
Disconnect
room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the
projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, make sure the power switch is off and the power
the plug from
the power
outlet
cable is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool
sufficiently. Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as
damaging the lamp.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above.
This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out
when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous,
so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not
broken.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing,
make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result
in damage or injury.
• Use only the lamp of the specified type RLC-006.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there
are electrical problems else where besides the lamp. If this happens, contact
your local dealer or a service representative.
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst
during use.
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the
section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace
the lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or
past the replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used)
lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
