Important Information

Lamp Caution: Please read before operation

• Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment,

there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly.

There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working

order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended

hours, the risk of explosion increases. Please note that there

is a warning system built in, that displays following message

when you reach a preset operating time “Bulb Over Time”.

When you see this message please contact your dealer for a

replacement.

If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from

the vents located on the back of the unit. Do not stand in

front of the vents during the operation. This smoke is

comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas,

and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your

eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your

eyes out with water immediately and seek immediate

medical attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause

serious injury.

• Consult qualified service personnel for cleaning the inside

of the projector or lamp replacement. Do not try to clean

the inside of the projector or replace the lamp.

1-1. Features

•

DLP Cinema^®dedicated projector that supports large screen needs

NEC has applied its mounting technology and leading imaging technology to newly develop lamp and optical systems as well

as a cooling system to support large screen needs.

•

Equipped with easy to use functions

(1) Lens memory function that can be operated with one touch, and lamp power memory function

The DLP Cinema^®projector is provided with a lens memory function for storing lens zoom positions and shift positions to

set screens sizes for each input signal. It is also provided with a lamp power memory function for storing the brightness of

the images on the screen for each input signal.

Even if you are projecting multiple images that have different settings for image sizes and brightness, you can project them

with the conditions pre-registered for each signal, simply by selecting the corresponding signal.

(2) Equipped with a lamp output control function

You can set to any brightness setting, from low brightness to high brightness. This function makes it possible to minimize

the fluctuation (*) in brightness as brightness of the lamp decreases as a result of long-term lamp usage.

* The time for maintaining fluctuations in brightness depends on the setting value for brightness.

(3) Easy lamp replacement

The lamp can be replaced from the backside of the projector, so the lamp can be easily replaced even in narrow locations

when a film projector is setup on the side and there is not much space on the projector side.

(4) Registered signal selection buttons

The projector has been equipped with new 8 signal selection buttons that make it easy to select registered signals. To this

projector, 100 titles at most can be registered (input signal registration). Among the registered titles, any 8 titles can be

assigned to the buttons <1> to <8>.

(5) Touch panel (Optional)

An optional touch panel is available to enable easy operation of all projector functions.

(6) Supports various contents and types of usage by applying a separately-sold multimedia switch.

By connecting an optional multi-media switcher (MMS), you can input RGB/VIDEO analog signals, and digital signals in

formats not supported by the projector.

DMD Face Dust Protection Structure

A dust contral shield is arranged between each DMD chip of R, G and B, and the spectroscopic/condenser prism to prevent

dust and dirt in the air, and oily particles in smoke associated with event halls from coming into contact with the face of the DMD

and causing operating problems.

•

Efficient cooling of the heat from the DMD unit by the cooling structure

The DMD unit uses a highly efficient liquid cooling method. This efficiently eliminates heat applied to the DMD by the complete

dust contral structure and high light output, thereby ensuring the reliability of the projector.

•

Up-to-date functions of DLP Cinema^®available

This projector supports CineLink^TM, CineCanvas^TM, CinePallette^TMand CineBlack^TMwhich are the new functions for security,

subtitles, etc., developed by Texas Instruments Incorporated.

(1) CineLink^TM: Security management

This function supports encryption of the local link between server and projector, adds a “watermark” to enable the tracing

of pirated films (illegal copying), and provides other functions.

(2) CineCanvas^TM: Image management

This function enables insertion of subtitles and captions, correction of distortion, changing of resolution, etc.

(3) CinePallette^TM: Color management

This function allows extension of color range, correction of color, etc.

(4) CineBlack^TM: Contrast management

This function realizes a color tone scale from pitch black to pure white.

Maintenance of Your

Projector

NOTE

Please request your dealer to perform lamp replacement, filter replacement and cleaning of the projector

inside.

5-1. Cleaning the Cabinet

Be sure to always check that the AC power supply of the projector head is disconnected before carrying out maintenance of

your projector.

• Wipe with a dry, soft cloth without nap.

When the cabinet is excessively dirty, wipe with cloth well wrung after being dampened with a neutral detergent diluted with

water and then finish up with a dry cloth.

When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions in the manual attached to it.

• Do not use a solvent, such as thinner or benzene. The coating may deteriorate or peel off.

• When removing dust on the ventilation opening, suck it off using an adapter with a brush on a vacuum cleaner. Never allow

the cleaner without an adapter to come into direct contact or use a nozzles adapter in cleaning.

• Clean the ventilation opening at regular intervals. Dust, if allowed to accumulate there, may cause heating inside, which

leads to functional trouble. The interval, which can vary with the location of your projector, is about 100 hours.

• Do not damage the cabinet by scratching it or allowing hard objects to hit it. This can scratch the projector.

• Consult your dealer/distributor about cleaning the inside of the projector.

NOTE

Do not allow insecticide or other volatile liquid to splash on the cabinet, lens or screen. Also, do not allow any

rubber or plastic object to remain in contact with the cabinet for a long time. The coating may deteriorate or

peel off.

5-2. Cleaning the Lens

Clean the lens the same way as with camera lens (using a commercially available camera blower or cleaning paper for

glasses). Take care not to damage the lens when cleaning.

6-4. Operation using an HTTP browser

6-4-1. Overview

The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser. Please be sure to use “ Microsoft

Internet Explorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser.

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 the browser. Please refer to the help files and the other information provided in your software.

NOTE

The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending on 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 cannot get any response, pull out and then reinsert the LAN card on the

projector.

Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by and specifying

http://<the projector’s IP address>/index.html

in the entry column of the URL.

6-4-2. Preparation before use

Make network connections and set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before engaging in browser operations.

Operations 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 a browser not be reflected in operation. It is

recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.

6-4-3. 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 with the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been

registered in the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding 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”

http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL to access HTTP server functions.

(Example 2) When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.10.10”

http://192.168.10.10/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL to access HTTP server

functions.

6-7-2. Remote control input connector (REMOTE IN) (Stereo mini)

Connected with the projector’s remote control the accessory remote cable.

When the remote cable is connected to this connector, the remote cable connector operates with the following functions.

DC power supply unit for remote control

Remote signal unit

GND unit

The DC voltage supplied from the projector to the remote control is approximately +4.0 V.

NOTE

The remote control cable is connected first to the remote control, then to the projector head.

The leading end of the remote control cable is the power supply unit, so be careful not to touch the other end

of the remote cable to the projector head or other devices while only the remote control cable is connected

to the projector.

TIP

Even if the remote cable power supply unit and GND unit (such as the projector head) should short, the

protective function inside the projector will activate to prevent the shorted cable from damaging the projector.

6-7-3. LAN port (LAN-A, LAN-B) (RJ-45)

Use Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-TX UTP (Unshielded Twist Pair cable) to connect with a video server or a PC.

A switching hub exists inside, so there are no functional differences of either the LAN-A or LAN-B ports.
