Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE]
is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].
There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON
SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You
The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO2 emission reduction between the time of
changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS-
SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE?] message at the time of power-off.
TIP:
• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO2 emission reduction.
Amount of CO2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE − Power consumption in AUTO ECO/NORMAL/ECO for
ECO MODE) × CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off with the AV-MUTE button, the amount of CO2 emmission reduction
will also increase.
* Calculation for amount of CO2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008 Edition”.
• The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

6. Installation and Connections
WARNING
• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more
information.
• Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the
projector severely damaged.
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between
41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C) (Eco mode selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°C).
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on
the side or the front of the projector.

6. Installation and Connections
❷ Making Connections
Connecting Your Computer
Computer cables, HDMI and USB can be used to connect to a computer. The connection cable is not enclosed with
the projector. Please get ready a suitable cable for the connection.

6. Installation and Connections
NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC
laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.
Cautions when using a DVI signal
• When the computer has a DVI output terminal, use a commercially available converter cable to connect the com-
puter to the projector’s HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 input terminal (only digital video signals can be input).
HDMI 1 IN
HDMI 2 IN
NOTE: When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal
• Turn off the power of the computer and projector before connecting.
• When a video deck is connected via a scan converter, etc., the display may not be correct during fast-forwarding and rewinding.
• Use a DVI-to-HDMI cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard.
The cable should be within 197"/5 m long.
• Turn off the projector and the PC before connecting the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
• To project a DVI digital signal: Connect the cables, turn the projector on, then select the HDMI input. Finally, turn on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart
your PC.
• Do not disconnect the DVI-to-HDMI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then reconnected,
an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
• The COMPUTER video input terminals support Windows Plug and Play.
• A Mac signal adapter (commercially available) may be required to connect a Mac computer.

4 Controlling the Projector by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
The HTTP Server function provides settings and operations for:
• Setting for wired/wireless network (NETWORK SETTINGS)
To use wired/wireless LAN connection, connect the projector to the computer with a commercially available LAN
• Setting Alert Mail (ALERT MAIL)
When the projector is connected to a wired/wireless network, lamp replace time or error messages will be sent
via e-mail.
• Operating the projector
Power on/off, selecting input, volume control and picture adjustments are possible.
• Setting PJLink PASSWORD, HTTP SERVER, ALERT MAIL, AMX BEACON, and CRESTRON
How to access to the HTTP server:
• Start the Web browser on the computer via the network connected to the projector and enter the following
URL :
http://<the projector’s IP address> /index.html
TIP: The factory setting IP address is [DHCP ON].
NOTE:
• To use the projector in a network, consult with your network administrator about network settings.
• The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your network.
Should this happen, consult your network administrator. The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in rapid
intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.
• If the PROJECTOR NETWORK SETTINGS screen does not appear in the web browser, press the Ctrl+F5 keys to refresh your web browser
(or clear the cache).
• This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will vary
depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software.
Preparation before Use
Connect the projector to a commercially available LAN cable before engaging in browser operations. (→ page 94)
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and
the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been
set will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may
not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
104
7. Connecting to a Network
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the
projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address
of the projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name cor-
responding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the projector has been set to “pj.nec.co.jp”, access is gained to the net-
work setting by specifying
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the network setting by
specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.

Power on process for the projector and the PC.
Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on
the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before
being powered up.
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”, this
Enabling the computer’s external display.
•
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu-
ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on
or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through
external display selections.
•
•
Non-standard signal output from the computer
If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use.
Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previ-
ous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac
When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) ac-
cording to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect.
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch
on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch
to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and
then restart the Mac again.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Inc. is needed for a MacBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin terminal.

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for preventing
illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With the implemen-
tation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of
the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).
