Projector features  
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as  
NTSC/PAL/SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for  
installation and displays a large image from a short distance.  
O High Brightness  
Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher  
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean  
enough for use in bright rooms.  
O Low Noise  
WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise for quieter operation.  
It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more important  
than brightness.  
O Compact Body  
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim,  
which gives you more flexibility and usability to use it where you want.  
About contents of package

projector should come with the items shown there. Contact your dealer  
immediately if anything is missing.  
NOTE • Keep the original packing materials for future reshipment. For moving the

the left and right of the remote sensor).  
• Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is difficult  
to send a remote signal to the sensor directly, please try.  
• Since the remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector  
(Class1 LED), be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that  
could block the remote control’s output signal to the projector.

Connecting your devices  
►Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector.  
CAUTION  
Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud  
noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the  
device and/or projector.  
►Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. Some  
cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a certain picture  
degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For cables that have a  
core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.  
►Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may  
result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.  
NOTE • Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be  
sure to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT  
display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done,  
please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.  
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.  
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these  
modes will not be possible with this projector.  
• For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.  
• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input,  
automatic adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this  
case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new  
resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might  
be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.

Maintenance  
Lamp  
WARNING  
HIGH VOLTAGE  
HIGH TEMPERATURE  
HIGH PRESSURE  
►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud  
bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that  
each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start  
using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into  
the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent  
holes.  
►About disposal of a lamp • This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put in  
trash. Dispose of in accord with environmental laws.  
For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org. (in the US)  
For product disposal, contact your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the  
US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).  
For more information, call your dealer.  
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug  
the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement  
lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the  
projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try

from  
power outlet  
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power cord, then  
wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. Handling the lamp while  
hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.  
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.  
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from above.  
This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out  
when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so  
ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.  
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing,  
make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in  
damage or injury.  
• Use only the lamp of the specified type.  
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that  
there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens,  
contact your local dealer or a service representative.  
• Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.  
• If the indicators or a message prompts you to replace the lamp (see the  
section “Related Messages” and “Regarding the indicator Lamps”), replace the  
lamp as soon as possible. Using the lamp for long periods of time, or past the  
replacement date, could cause it to burst. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a  
cause of breakage.
