Projector features / About contents of package  
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 gets a large image from short distance.  
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.  
Low Noise  
WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter  
operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more  
important than brightness.  
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  
Please see the "Contents of package" of the "User's Manual - Quick Guide". Your  
projector should come with the items shown there. Contact immediately your deal-  
er if anything is missing.  
NOTE • Keep the original packing materials for future reshipment. For  
moving the projector, be sure to use the original packing material. Use special  
caution for the lens part.

Preparations  
Using the remote control  
CAUTION ►Be careful in handling the remote control. Incorrect handling  
could cause damage or malfunction.  
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.  
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects.  
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if  
you won’t be using the remote control for an extended period.  
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.  
• When strong lights such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close  
range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp) hit the projector’s remote  
sensor, the remote control may not function correctly. Adjust the direction of the  
projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.  
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.

• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60 degree range (30 degrees  
to 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.

Setting up  
Connecting your devices  
CAUTION ►Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector.  
Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely  
loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or dam-  
age 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 cer-  
tain 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.

HIGH PRESSURE  
WARNING  
►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 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 to clean the  
projector or replace the lamp yourself.  
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate  
the room well, and make sure not to breathe the gas that comes out of the  
projector vents, or get it in your eyes or mouth.  
• 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  
Disconnect  
the plug  
from the  
power  
outlet  
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.
