Connecting a computer or monitor  
Connecting a computer  
The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both  
IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are  
connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.  
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of  
the computer.  
Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2  
signal input socket on the projector.  
If you wish to use the remote paging function, take a USB cable and connect the A  
type end to the USB port of the computer, and the other end to the Service socket  
on the projector. See “Using the remote mouse control” on page 14 for details.  
Important  
Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to  
a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the  
external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function  
key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled  
function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find  
your notebook's key combination.  
Connecting a monitor  
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen,  
you can connect the Monitor Out signal output socket on the projector to an external  
monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:  
To connect the projector to a monitor:  
1.  
Connect the projector to a computer as described in “Connecting a computer” on  
2.  
Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable  
to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.  
Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable  
and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.  
Connect the other end of the cable to the Monitor Out socket on the projector.  
Important  
3.  
The Monitor Out output only works when Computer in 1 or Computer in 2  
is made to the projector.

Connecting Video source devices  
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one  
of the following output sockets:  
Component Video  
S-Video  
Video (composite)  
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the  
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.  
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching  
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:  
Best video quality  
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused  
with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video  
natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of  
choice in preference to (composite) Video.  
the projector to a component video device.  
Better video quality  
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite  
Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video  
source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.  
projector to an S-Video device.  
Least video quality  
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less  
than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available  
methods described here.

Connecting a Component Video source device  
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component  
Video output sockets available:  
If so, you can continue with this procedure.  
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the  
device.  
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:  
1.  
Take a VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable, Component Video cable or a  
Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor and connect the end with 3 RCA type  
connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device.  
Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to  
blue, and red to red.  
2.  
If you are using the VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable and the Component Video  
to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor, connect the other end of the cable (with a D-Sub type  
connector) to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 socket on the projector. If you  
are using the Component Video Cable, connect the other end of 3RCA type  
connectors to the Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr sockets on the projector.  
Important  
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on  
and the correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source  
device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables  
have been connected correctly.

Connecting an S-Video source device  
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output  
socket available:  
If so, you can continue with this procedure.  
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the  
device.  
To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:  
1.  
Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the  
Video source device.  
2.

Maintenance  
The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, dirt  
or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality. If any other parts need  
replacing, contact your dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part  
of the projector, always switch off and unplug the projector first.  
Warning  
Never open any of the covers on the projector. Dangerous electrical voltages  
inside the projector can cause severe injury. Do not attempt to service this  
product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
Cleaning the Lens  
Gently wipe the lens with lens cleaning paper. Do not touch the lens with your hands.  
Cleaning the Projector Housing  
Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains are not easily removed, use a soft cloth  
damped with water, or water and neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.  
Cleaning the Filter Cover  
The filter cover, which is located at the side of the projector, should be cleaned after  
every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with  
dust and prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can cause over  
heating and damage the projector.  
To clean the filter cover:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Switch the projector off and unplug the AC  
power cord from the wall socket.  
Remove the filter cover as the illustration  
shown.  
Clean the filter cover.  
To clean the filter cover, you are  
advised to use a small vacuum  
cleaner designed for computers and  
other office equipment.  
If the filter cover is torn, replace it.  
Replace the filter cover.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
Attach the filter cover.  
Plug the power back into the projector.  
Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet  
before beginning maintenance work.  
Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.  
Do not use detergents or chemicals other than those noted above. Do not use  
benzene or thinners.  
Do not use chemical sprays.  
Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.

Replacing the Lamp  
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually  
decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. We recommend  
replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed. Do not attempt to replace the  
lamp yourself. Contact the qualified service personnel for replacement.  
The lamp is extremely hot right after turning off the projector. If you touch the  
lamp, you may scald your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least  
45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.  
Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to  
improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.  
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.  
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.  
Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.  
Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least  
for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.  
Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible  
material nor cover it with such materials.  
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable  
substance, such as thinner.  
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an  
oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches,  
nausea, dizziness, and other symptoms.  
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury  
inside the lamp will be exposed. Leave the area immediately if the lamp  
shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in  
order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to  
user’s health.

Unplug the power cord.  
Loosen the screw in the side of the lamp cover and remove the cover.  
Remove the screws from the lamp module, raise the handle, and lift out the

Replace the lamp cover and tighten the screw.  
Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try  
reinstalling the lamp.  
9.  
Reset the lamp hour. Refer to the “Information” menu.  
Dispose the used lamp according to local regulations.  
Ensure that screws are tightened properly. Screws not tightened fully may  
result in injury or accidents.  
Since the lamp is made of glass, do not drop the unit and do not scratch the  
glass.  
Do not reuse the old lamp. This could cause the lamp to explode.  
Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord before  
replacing the lamp.  
Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

Troubleshooting  
Refer to the symptoms and measures listed below before sending the projector for  
repairs. If the problem persists, contact your local reseller or service center. Please  
refer to "LED Indicator Messages" as well.  
Start-up problems  
If no lights turn on:  
Be sure that the power cord is securely connected to the projector and the other end  
is plugged into an outlet with power.  
Press the power button again.  
Unplug the power cord and wait for a short while, then plug it in and press the power  
button again.  
Image problems  
If the searching source is displayed:  
Press SOURCE on the projector or Source on the remote control to select an  
active input source.  
Be sure the external source is turned on and connected.  
For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer’s external video port is  
turned on. Refer to the computer manual.  
If the image is out of focus:  
Be sure the lens cover is removed.  
While displaying the on-screen menu, adjust the focus ring. (The image size should  
not change; if it does, you are adjusting the zoom, not the focus.)  
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.  
If the image is flickering or unstable for a computer connection:  
Press Auto on the remote control.  
Press MENU on the projector or Menu on the remote control, go to Video/Audio  
Setting and adjust Frequency or Tracking.  
Remote control problems  
If the remote control does not operate:  
Be sure nothing is blocking the remote control receiver on the front of the  
projector. Use the remote control within the effective range.  
Aim the remote control at the screen or at the front or back of the projector.  
Move the remote control so it is more directly in front of or behind the projector and  
not as far to the side.
