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 func-
tions. Operating the projector properly enables you to man-
age those features and maintains it in better condition for a
considerable time.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the prod-
uct-life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this manu-
al 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 possible. Eye dam-
age 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 slot on the projector. Heat build-up
can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also be
dangerous.

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 lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of
the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime 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 ser-
vice 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.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Cleaning the RGB panels
If some dusts attach to optical parts inside the projector, the brightness could decrease or shadows could appear on the
screen and image deterioration could result.
This projector equipped with RGB panel cleaning holes on the bottom of the projector to clean the internal parts (such as
optical parts) of the projector. When you use the projector continuously for hours or you find shadows of dust on the pro-
jected screen, clean the inside of the projector with the supplied blower.
Using the supplied blower and the Cleaning function in the Setting menu, you can blow dusts away in the projector.
✔
Note:
• The dust might not be taken away completely with these steps. In that case, contact the dealer where you purchased the projector or the service cen-
ter.
CAUTION IN USING THE BLOWER AND THE NOZZLE
● When using the blower, turn over the projector.
● Use only supplied blower and nozzle to keep the projector from being out of oder or damaging . We
could not guarantee the malfunction or breakage caused by using unsupplied tools.
● Do not use a commercially available air spry not to cause malfunction of internal parts with the cool air.
● Put the projector on a soft cloth not to scratch the surface.
CAUTION
● Open the hole cover only when you clean the inside of the projector.
● Do not pull the hole cover strongly.
PROHIBITED
● Do not look into the holes. Strong light could damage your eyes. (Do not look into Air intake vent and
Exhaust vent, too.)
● Use the blower and the nozzle only to clean the projector. Do not try to use them to another purpose.
Do not user the blower and nozzle to a man (especially eyes, mouth or year and so on). Be careful
not children put the blower and nozzle into their mouths or swallow them.
● Do not try to pull the nozzle out from the blower. If the nozzle happened to pull off, put it back into the
blower.
When you find something unusual (smoke, strange sound, abnormal odor and so on) while you are cleaning, turn
off and unplug the projector immediately, then call the dealer you purchased it or service center.
