To the Owner
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly
and operate the projector properly.
Safety Precaution
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintain it in better condition for a
considerable time.
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 end of
this booklet. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer
where you purchased the projector or the service center.
WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
– This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as much as
possible. Eye damage could result. Be especially careful
that children do not stare directly into the beam.
– Install the projector in a proper position. If not, it may result
in a fire hazard.
– Provide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear of the
projector cabinet for allowing air circulation and cooling the
projector. Minimum clearance must be maintained. If the
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, the minimum distances must be maintained. Do
not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-
up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can
also be dangerous.

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 on the projector. (See
pages 15 and 16 for connection.)
CAUTION
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, it is in stand-by mode and consumes a little
electric power.
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the
projector.
The AC outlet must be near this equipment and
must be easily accessible.
NOTE ON THE 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 a proper AC power cord must be
used.

• 3-2 Pulldown or Telecine transfer is the process of changing images from film mode
to video mode. Film runs at 24 frames per second (fps), while NTSC television
signals (or video) have a run rate of 30fps, therefore the 24 fps film needs to be
speeded up to 30fps and transferred to get the best film-like images using a proper
field pattern.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the Air Filters
Air filters prevent dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filters
become clogged with dust particles, it reduces the effectiveness of cooling fans and may result in a buildup of internal heat
and adversely affect the life of the projector. Clean the air filters by following the steps below.
Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord from
an AC outlet.
1
Turn the projector upside down and remove the air filters by
pulling the latches upward.
2
Clean the air filters with a brush or rinse them softly.
3
When rinsing the air filters, dry them well. Replace the air
filters properly. Make sure that the air filters are fully inserted
to the projector.

anything into the air intake vents. It may result in
malfunction of the projector.
✔Note:
• When reinserting this air filter,
be sure that the slit part is
facing the outer side.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when
operating the projector. Usage in these environments may
cause a poor image quality.
When using the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, dust
may accumulate on a lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside
the projector. Such conditions may degrade the quality of a
projected image.
When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.

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.
● Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee
of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time
than other similar lamps.
● 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.
● 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 BE TAKEN.
If a lamp explodes, disconnect the projector’s 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.
