Important Information  
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 indicator blinks red rapidly), 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.  
Lamp Replacement  
To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 50.  
Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [Replace with the new lamp.] appears. If you continue to use  
the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass  
may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.  
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.  
CAUTION  
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projec-  
tor. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

of the intersection when an image is projected at right angle to the screen.  
TIP:  
• 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.  
• The Zoom lever adjusts the image size (diagonal) +/- 20%.  
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. See page 43.  
• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. LV-CL12) are required.

2. Installation and Connections  
• 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.  
WARNING  
• Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done  
by a qualified technician.Contact your 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 95˚F (35˚C).  
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or  
smoke. This will harm the screen image.  
Reflecting the Image  
Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables  
you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your dealer if  
you need a mirror system. If you're using a mirror sys-  
tem and your image is inverted, use the MENU and  
SELECT  
buttons on your projector cabinet or  
your remote control to correct the orientation. See page

2. Installation and Connections  
Making Connections  
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the  
power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after  
connecting with the projector.  
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power  
management software.  
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 more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.

NOTE: Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor. Using an audio cable with a built-in resistor turns down the sound.  
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-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 PC button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

6. Maintenance  
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the filter and replace the lamp.  
Cleaning or Replacing the Filter  
The air-filter sponge keeps dust and dirt from getting inside the projector and should be cleaned after every 100 hours  
of operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.  
CAUTION  
Turn off the projector, turn off the main power switch and unplug the projector before replacing the filter.  
Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum cleaner.  
Do not attempt to operate the projector without the filter cover.  
To clean the air-filter:  
Vacuum the filter through the filter cover.

6. Maintenance  
» Replacing the Lamp  
After your lamp has been operating for 2000* hours (up to 3000* hours in Quiet mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator  
in the cabinet will blink red and the message “Replace with the new lamp.” will appear. Even though the lamp may  
still be working, replace it at 2000* (up to 3000* hours in Quiet mode) hours to maintain optimal projector performance.

7. Appendix  
If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.  
Power on process for the projector and the PC.  
Be sure to connect the RGB cable between the projector and the computer before turning on the computer.  
There are some notebook PCs, which do not output signal unless there is a projector or monitor connected first.  
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads  
“0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. See page 46 or go to next step.  
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 projec-  
tor. 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 more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.  
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  
previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.  
Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh  
When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projec-  
tor) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.  
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh 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 Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a  
displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.  
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub  
15-pin connector.  
Mirroring on a PowerBook  
*
When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirror-  
ing” is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.  
Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen  
Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] [Arrange] from the Apple  
menu and arrange icons.
