Placing on a Level Place
Place the projector on a level place as far as pos-
sible.
z A slight tilt can be corrected using the rear
adjustable foot. (P43)
z Make sure that the installation position is
free from any obstacle that may block the
exhaust vent (fan) on the right side of the
projector and the air intake vent on the bot-
tom of the projector.
z 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.
Ceiling Mounting or Rear Projection
You can mount the projector on the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side
down or place it behind the screen (Rear) if you use a translucent screen. For ceiling
mounting or rear projection, you have to invert the projected image. (P97).

Maintenance
Cleaning the Projector
Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from settling on the surface.
A dirty lens may ruin the quality of the projected image.
z The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the pro-
jector cools down sufficiently (more than 1 hour) before cleaning the projector. Other-
wise, you may get burned or injured.
Caution
z Before cleaning the projector, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC outlet.
Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
Wipe the projector's main unit softly with a soft cloth.
If the projector is heavily soiled, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of detergent in
it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the projector with it. After cleaning, wipe the
projector with a dry cloth.
z Never use volatile cleaning liquid or benzine, as these may damage the finish of the
projector. When using a chemical dust cloth, make sure to read the instructions thor-
oughly.
Caution
z When cleaning the projector's lens, use a commonly available air blower or lens
cleaning paper. The lens surface is easily damaged, so do not use a hard cloth or tis-
sues.
When Not Used for an Extended Period of Time
Be sure to attach the lens cap on the lens and store in the supplied carrying bag.

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, the pro-
jector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the inter-
nal temperature of the projector.
z The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the pro-
jector cools down sufficiently (more than 1 hour) before cleaning the projector. Other-
wise, you may get burned or injured.
Caution
z Before cleaning or replacing the air filter, be sure to remove the power plug from the
AC outlet. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
z 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 fil-
ter, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner.
When cleaning dust off the side exhaust vent and the bottom air intake vent, bring the vac-
uum cleaner nozzle close to them directly.

Glossary
* is only applicable to SX7 MarkII
6-axis color adjust (P107)
The color adjustment function for an
advanced user. You can adjust color balance
and color level for 6 axis of RGB (red/green/
blue) and CMY (cyan/magenta/yellow) of the
projected image to make a fine color adjust-
ment. You can perform the 6-axis color
adjustment in the image adjustment menu.
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal
(longer) dimension to the vertical (shorter)
dimension of a screen. It is expressed as
"longer dimension: shorter dimension." The
following aspect ratio is normally used:
[4:3]
The aspect ratio widely accepted in the stan-
dard screen resolution, for example the tradi-
tional television screen and VGA (640 x 480)
and XGA (1024 x 768) in PC. The aspect ratio
for this projector is 4:3.
AdobeRGB (P55, 102)
A color space specification set up by Adobe
systems Incorporated which is applied to
high performance digital cameras, displays
and others. You can project an image with
more accurate color reproduction since Its
has wider color gamut than sRGB.
In SX7 MarkII, if you select [AdobeRGB] in
the [Image mode] setting, the projector can
project the best-quality image conforming to
the AdobeRGB Standard. Please be aware
that color of the projected image may vary
with that of the original image if you project
an AdobeRGB compatible image in sRGB
mode or project an sRGB compatible image
in AdobeRGB mode.
[5:4]
This aspect ratio is used if you select the res-
olution such as SXGA (1280X1024) in PC.
The shorter dimension in [5:4] is a little longer
than that in [4:3]. An image with aspect ratio
of 5:4 is properly displayed if you select
[Auto] for [Aspect]; however, the margins are
displayed on both sides of the screen.
[16:9]
The aspect ratio for the high definition or
wide-screen. WXGA (1280 x 768 and 1360 x
768) is used as the aspect ratio close to 16:9
for the wide screen monitor in PC. An image
with aspect ratio of 16:9 is properly displayed
if you select [Auto] for [Aspect]; however, the
margins are displayed at the top and bottom
of the screen.
Ambient light* (P108)
Lightning environment around the projector.
You can correct and project an image more
appropriately according to the ambient light
on the screen via the setting of [Ambient
light] if you have selected [Photo] for [Image
mode].
For the aspect ratio for movie screens, "vista
vision size" and "cinema scope size", etc. are
used.
“Vista vision size”
A signal system used to send analog signal
information of R (red), G (green), and B
(blue). It is a typical system for connecting a
color monitor to a computer. Connect the
analog PC output terminal on the computer
and Input Terminal-1 or Input Terminal-2 on
this projector with a monitor cable. Select
[ANALOG PC-1] for Input Terminal-1 and
[ANALOG PC-2] for Input Terminal-2 at pro-
jection.
The aspect ratio close to 16:9. Select [Auto]
or [Wide] for [Aspect]. The black belts are
added at the top and bottom of the image.
“Cinema scope size”
The landscape-oriented aspect ratio of 8:3.
Select [Auto] or [Wide] for [Aspect]. The
black belts are added at the top and bottom
of the image.

A value that represents the related color in a
light source in general. In this projector, the
color temperature is used to adjust the RGB
color balance for the projected image to cor-
rect the related color influence by the ambi-
ent light. If you increase and decrease the
color temperature, white changes to blue and
red, respectively. You can set the color tem-
perature in the [Color adjustment] menu if
[Photo] has been selected for [Image mode].
A digital video signal connection interface for
a computer and AV equipment. This interface
allows digital data to be transmitted without
converting to analog data, assuring high
image quality with no signal degradation. The
DVI-I (integrated) connector can be used to
transmit both an analog video signal and dig-
ital video signal.
A parameter that adjusts the reproduction
range of a brightness signal from black to
white within the image signal to naturally
reproduce it on the screen. The reproducibil-
ity of the bright tone is mainly changed. Since
you can adjust the gain for each RGB color in
this projector, you can also adjust colors. The
gain is normally adjusted with the offset.
A signal system in which an image is trans-
mitted by being broken down the brightness
signal (Y) and the color signal (C) into the B-Y
color difference signal and the R-Y color dif-
ference signal. Its image quality is higher
than that of the composite video. This system
can project a better-quality image as com-
pared with the composite signal system.
Connect the component video terminal on
the AV equipment and the ANALOG IN-2 ter-
minal on this projector with a component
cable. Select [COMPONENT] at projection.
A tone adjustment system used during pro-
jection 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 cor-
rection and dynamic gamma correction
which performs the gamma correction auto-
matically.
A video signal system used to send a bright-
ness signal (Y) and a color signal (C)
together. Connect the composite output
(RCA) terminal on the AV equipment and the
VIDEO IN terminal on this projector with a
video cable. Select [VIDEO] at projection.
HDCP
An abbreviation of High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection which is an encryption
technology for copy protection of digital
image signals. In this projector, you can
project digital contents copy-protected with
the HDCP technology. To project the con-
tents, connect the Input Terminal-1 on the
projector and an HDMI terminal or DVI termi-
nal on an AV equipment with a dedicated
cable, and then select [DIGITAL VIDEO] from
the [INPUT] menu.
Digital PC (P27, 37)
A signal system used to send digital informa-
tion of individual display dots. This system is
free from deterioration of image quality
because of no analog conversion. Connect
the DVI output terminal on the computer and
Input Terminal-1 on this projector with a DVI
connection cable. Select [DIGITAL PC] at
projection.

A digital video signal connection interface for
an AV equipment. Its terminal is more com-
pact than the DVI terminal. It allows to trans-
mit video and audio signals simultaneously.
The number of dots (horizontal dots x vertical
dots) that can be displayed on a computer is
called “resolution of display”. Resolution indi-
cates the size of the display area (amount of
information).
A memorized color is a color in our memory.
The memorized color such as blue for the sky
is more vivid than the real color, so you may
feel colors of a projected image are dull. If
such is the case, enable the memorized color
correction function to make the colors close
to the ones in our memory. You can enable
the memorized color correction function in
the image adjustment menu.

If you select SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050 dots)
as the display resolution for the connecting
computer, this projector can project high-res-
olution images. If your computer does not
have the SXGA+ option, select the maximum
resolution among the selectable options.
A parameter that shifts the reproduction
range of a brightness signal from black to
white within an image signal toward the
higher or lower level of brightness. The repro-
ducibility of the dark tone is mainly changed.
Since you can adjust the offset for each RGB
color in this projector, you can also adjust
colors. The offset is normally adjusted with
the gain.
An international standard of color representa-
tion (color space) which is applied to general
digital cameras, displays and others. In this
projector, if you select [sRGB] in the [Image
mode] setting, the projector can project the
best-quality image conforming to the sRGB
Standard.
Progressive (P96)
An image display system used to display the
entire screen per scan. For an interlace sig-
nal (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, deteriorat-
ing 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 progres-
sive function when flickering and horizontal
lines are noticeable on a fast-moving picture.

S-video (P27, 66, 92)
A signal system (YC separation signal) used
to send a brightness signal (Y) and color sig-
nal (C) separately. Connect the S-video ter-
minal on the AV equipment and the S-VIDEO
IN terminal on this projector with an S-video
cable. Select [S-VIDEO] at projection.
To reproduce an image from an analog
image signal, the process to accumulate
image information at the appropriate timing
with reference to the synchronization signal
within the image signal. This process is
called the tracking. This projector can dis-
play an image properly by automatically
adjust the tracking with the auto PC adjust-
ment function even if there is a small differ-
ence in the synchronization signal from an
analog imaging device.
An output terminal widely used in an AV
equipment. It is also called as a composite
output terminal (pin terminal or RCA termi-
nal). For more details, refer to "Composite".
