2. Check the polarity markings (+, –) of the batteries, and set  
them correctly, inserting their (–) side first.  
• If the battery is inserted from the (+) side first, inserting the (–)  
side becomes difficult because the coil spring end hits on the  
battery side. If the battery is forced to insert in this way, the  
outer label of the battery may get ripped and cause a short-  
circuit and heating.

4 Installation  
Setting up the screen  
Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector as  
shown below.  
Important  
• Before setting up the screen, be sure to set SCREEN ASPECT in the SETUP menu to either 16:9 or 4:3.  
• Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the horizontal position of the screen center.  
• Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes the  
projected images whitish and hard to view.  
Mounting the projector on the table  
Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the images to be projected (see page 10).

• Do not place this projector on a carpet or blanket because the intake vent on the bottom surface will be blocked and the inside of the  
projector will overheat, causing a breakdown or fire.  
• Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may flow into the intake vent, causing the projector  
to display “Over Temperature” and then stop projecting images. If this happens, clear the area around the exhaust vent.  
Adjusting the projection angle  
This projector is provided with three feet for adjusting the projection angle on the bottom surface. Adjust the projection angle depending on  
the position of the projector.  
For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the adjustment  
feet on the bottom of the projector.  
1. Tilt the projector upwards to the appropriate angle.  
2. Press the foot adjustment buttons next to the adjustment  
Screen  
feet (rear), and the adjustment feet will come out.  
3. Release the buttons to lock the adjustment feet (rear) to  
that position.  
4. Rotate the adjustment feet (rear) for fine adjustment.  
• If necessary, rotate the adjustment foot (front) for fine  
adjustment.  
Adjustment feet (rear)  
After using the projector  
Put the adjustment feet (rear) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment buttons.  
When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid  
When the screen and the projector are not placed perpendicularly to each other, projected images become trapezoidal. If you cannot make the  
projector and the screen perpendicular to each other by mechanical adjustments, adjust keystone (see page 17).

Mounting the projector on the ceiling  
To view images projected by the ceiling mounted projector from the front:  
When the projector is installed on the ceiling, the special ceiling mount bracket, which is commercially available, is required. Be sure to ask a  
certified installation specialist for installation of the projector. Contact your dealer for details.  
Yamaha assumes no responsibilities for any damage caused by use of other manufacturer’s ceiling bracket and by inadequate installation  
conditions even within the warranty period.  
• When installing the projector on the ceiling, set LOCATION in the SETUP menu to FRONT/CEILING.  
• Ask your installation specialist to provide a breaker. When you do not use the projector, be sure to shut down the main power by the breaker.  
• When the projector is installed on the ceiling, projected images may appear darker than those projected when the projector is installed on the  
floor.  
• Do not install the projector where the exhaust vents are exposed to air emitted by an air conditioning. Such installation may cause a  
breakdown.  
• Do not install the projector near a fire alarm because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.  
Optional part

11 Replacing the lamp  
This projector is equipped with a lamp to project images. This lamp is a consumable, so it may burn out or its brightness may decrease during  
use. If this happens, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. Be sure to replace the lamp with a new, commercially available lamp  
that is exclusive to this projector. Contact your dealer for purchase of the lamp.  
Warning  
• This product contains a high intensity lamp that contains a small amount of mercury. Disposal of this material may be  
regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal information in the United States, refer to the Electronic  
• Be careful not to drop the lamp screws into the projector. Do not put a metal piece or flammable object into the projector.  
Using the projector with any foreign object present inside may result in electric shock or fire. If you can’t remove the foreign  
object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal.  
• Be sure to install the lamp securely. If the lamp is not installed properly, it will not illuminate. Improper installation may also  
result in fire.  
• Do not shake the removed lamp or lift it above your face. You may injure your eye by flying or falling glass fragments.  
• Do not replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover is very hot. You may get burned. Turn off the power  
using the STANDBY/ON button. After the lamp goes out, wait about two minutes until the intake and exhaust fans for cooling  
the lamp stop rotating. Then unplug the power cable, and wait at least one hour to allow the lamp to cool down enough to  
the touch.  
Interval of lamp replacement  
*
The recommended interval of lamp replacement is about 3000 hours of consecutive use when the LAMP MODE in the SETUP menu is set to  
*
CINEMA. Such interval differs depending on the operating environment and may be shorter than 3000 hours . Decrease in luminescence and/  
or color brightness indicates that the lamp needs to be replaced. When the lamp operation time exceeds 2250 hours, the indicator will blink  
alternately between green and red (while the lamp is lit; when the lamp is not lit, the indicator will be lit red only) and the lamp replacement  
message will appear on the screen for one minute everytime the lamp is turned on. When the lamp has been used for about 2850 hours, the  
replacement message (LAMP EXCHANGE) will appear on the screen for one minute every 15 hours thereafter.  
*
When the lamp operation time exceeds 3000 hours , the projector automatically shuts off and can not be  
used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.  
*When the LAMP MODE is set to STANDARD, this duration will be decreased to 2000 hours.  
Caution  
• Be sure to use the replacement lamp cartridge PJL-725. Other lamp cartridges are not suitable for use in this projector.  
• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal of the lamp may result in a  
breakdown.  
• This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure mercury lamp may explode or fail  
to illuminate permanently because of an impact, scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or  
permanent failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation conditions. Therefore, the  
lamp may explode soon after the start of use.  
• The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement period. When the lamp replacement  
warning appears, replace it with a new one immediately, even if the lamp is still lighting normally.  
• When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or outside the lamp box and the gas  
charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not  
to breathe it and avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your eye or mouth, see  
a doctor immediately.  
• In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp has exploded, glass fragments may have been scattered inside the  
projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to inspect the inside of the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp  
by yourself, be sure to hold the handle of the lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments.  
• Do not replace the lamp with the projector installed on the ceiling. Glass fragments may fall from the projector, entering your  
eye or mouth and causing injury.  
• When placing the projector upside down to replace the lamp or conduct maintenance, be sure that the projector is securely  
placed before working with it.

Important  
• This projector can recognize 1280 × 768 pixels as the maximum resolution, however, it is programmed to recognize 1280 ×  
720 or 1024 × 768 pixels as the normal resolution depending on the screen aspect.  
• If the resolution and frequency of your computer are not shown on the table, find the compatible resolution and frequency by  
changing the resolution of your computer.  
• In the case of XGA, the right side of the image may not appear. In this case, adjust TRACKING in the SIGNAL menu.  
• TV60 and TV50 are equivalent to 480i and 576i respectively. When these signals are input to the VIDEO or S-VIDEO signal,  
the signal mode is indicated as TV60 or TV50. When they are input to the COMPONENT terminal, the signal mode is  
indicated as 480i or 576i.  
• This projector cannot be connected to other equipment via an RGB-CS (4 line) connection.
