To the Owner  
Safety Precaution  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC  
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO  
RAIN OR MOISTURE.  
Before installing and operating the projector, read this  
manual thoroughly.  
The projector provides many convenient features and  
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you  
to manage those features and maintains it in good  
condition for many years to come.  
Improper operation may result in not only shortening  
the product life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or  
other accidents.  
– This projector produces intense light from the projection  
lens. Do not stare directly into the lens as much as  
possible, otherwise eye damage could result. Be  
especially careful that children do not stare directly into  
the beam.  
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this  
manual again, check operations and cable connections  
and try the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in  
the back of this booklet. If the problem still persists,  
contact the dealer where you purchased the projector or  
the service center.  
– Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it  
may result in fire hazard.  
– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,  
and rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper air  
circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimension  
shown here indicate the minimum space required. If the  
projector is to be built into a compartment or similarly  
enclosed, these minimum distances must be  
maintained.  
CAUTION  
– 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.  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Safety Instructions  
All the safety and operating instructions should be read  
before the product is operated.  
Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of air-  
conditioning equipment.  
Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for  
later use. Unplug this projector from AC power supply  
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.  
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
This projector should be operated only from the type of  
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are  
not sure of the type of power supplied, consult your  
authorized dealer or local power company.  
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the  
projector.  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this  
can result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything  
to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this projector  
where the cord may be damaged by persons walking on  
it.  
For added protection to the projector during a lightning  
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long  
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will  
prevent damage due to lightning and power line surges.  
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as  
opening or removing covers may expose you to  
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to  
qualified service personnel.  
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for  
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...  
Unplug this projector from wall outlet and refer servicing  
to qualified service personnel under the following  
conditions:  
Do not use attachments not recommended by the  
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.  
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.  
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls  
that are covered by the operating instructions as  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the projector to normal  
operation.  
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has  
been damaged.  
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in  
performance-this indicates a need for service.  
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or  
table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a  
child or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use  
only with a cart or stand recommended by the  
manufacturer, or sold with the projector. Wall or shelf  
mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions,  
and should use a mounting kit approved by the  
manufacturers.  
An appliance and cart combination  
should be moved with care. Quick  
stops, excessive force, and uneven  
surfaces may cause the appliance  
and cart combination to overturn.  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service  
technician has used replacement parts specified by the  
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the  
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,  
electric shock, or injury to persons.  
Slots and openings in the side and bottom of the cabinet  
are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of  
the equipment and to protect it from overheating.  
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other  
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked  
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other  
similar surface. This projector should never be placed near  
or over a radiator or heat register.  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this  
projector, ask the service technician to perform routine  
safety checks to determine that the projector is in safe  
operating condition.  
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation  
such as a book case unless proper ventilation is provided.

Safety Instructions  
Air Circulation  
Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.  
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to  
protect it from overheating, these openings must not  
be blocked or covered.  
IMPORTANT!  
Clean the Filter Regularly!!  
The projector uses a lamp which generates significant  
heat. The cooling fans and air vents are provided to  
dissipate the heat by drawing air into the housing and  
the filter is located in the intake vents to prevent dust  
from getting inside of the projector.  
CAUTION  
Hot air is exhausted from the exhaust vent. When  
using or installing the projector, the following  
precautions should be taken.  
– Do not put any flammable object or spray can near  
the projector, hot air is exhausted from the air  
vents.  
In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular  
cleaning is required. Remove any dirt or dust that has  
accumulated on the projector and on or in the filter.  
– Keep the exhaust vent at least 3’ (1 m) away from  
any objects.  
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged, a  
“Filter warning” icon (red) will appear on the screen  
and “WARNING FILTER” indicator on the top panel  
will blink (see below). Stop using the projector  
immediately and clean or replace the filter.  
– Do not touch peripheral parts of the exhaust vent,  
especially screws and metallic parts. These areas  
will become hot while the projector is being used.  
– Do not put anything on the cabinet. Objects put on  
the cabinet will not only get damaged but also may  
cause fire hazard by heat.  
Blocking the air vents and leaving the projector  
uncleaned for a long time may not only damage the  
projector and may require costly repairs but may also  
cause accidents or fire.  
Cooling fans are provided to cool down the projector.  
The fans’ running speed is changed according to the  
temperature inside the projector.  
For maintenance of the filter, refer to “Filter counter”  
on page 62 and “Maintenance and Filter Cleaning” on  
pages 63–64.  
Damages to the projector caused by using an  
uncleaned filter or improper maintenance will void  
the warranty on the projector.

Installation  
Connecting the AC Power Cord  
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 V or  
200–240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct input  
voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power  
systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the  
risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of  
power system.  
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied,  
consult your authorized dealer or service station.  
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before  
turning the projector on.  
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the  
projector.  
The AC outlet must be near this equipment  
and must be easily accessible.  
CAUTION  
For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector  
is not in use. When the projector is connected to an outlet  
with the AC power cord, it is in stand-by mode and  
consumes a little electric power.  
NOTE ON POWER CORD  
AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use the projector.  
Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and a proper AC power cord must be used.  
If the supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

After the OK icon disappears,  
you can operate the projector.  
What is PIN code?  
PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code  
that allows the person who knows it to operate the  
projector. Setting a PIN code prevents unauthorized use of  
the projector.  
Notes:  
•When the Logo select function is set to “Off,”  
the logo will not be shown on the screen (p.55).  
•When the “Countdown off” or “Off” is selected  
in the Display function, the countdown will not  
be shown on the screen (p.57).  
A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN  
code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 60–61 for  
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.  
•During the countdown period, all operations are  
invalid.  
•If the correct PIN code number is not entered  
within three minutes after the PIN code dialog  
box appeared, the projector will be turned off  
automatically.  
•The “1234” is set as the initial PIN code at the  
factory.  
CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE  
If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no  
longer be started. Take a special care in setting a  
new PIN code; write down the number in a  
column on page 81 of this manual and keep it at  
hand. Should the PIN code be missing or  
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

TO MAINTAIN LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU  
TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST FIVE  
MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.  
DO NOT UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD WHILE  
THE COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE

We frequently receive inquiries about computer connections. If the computer screen  
is not displayed properly, check the following matters once again.  
Is your computer cable connected to the projector’s INPUT 1 or INPUT 2  
terminals properly?  
Are the projector’s input terminal and the connected computer signal selected  
properly with the INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 buttons on the remote control or by the  
On-Screen Menu?  
Is the signal correctly output from your computer? Many of the laptop computers  
need to change the setting for monitor output when connecting to the projector.

Maintenance and Filter Cleaning  
In order to care for the projector appropriately, regular maintenance is required. The  
instructions described here will help minimize the need for optical cleaning, reduce  
the likelihood of costly repairs, and maximize lamp life.  
The projector uses a lamp which generates significant heat and thus requires a large  
amount of air to be drawn through the filter to cool the units. When the filter starts  
to clog, not enough air will be drawn into the projector housing.  
Remove any dirt or dust on surface of the projector and on the filter regularly and  
keep them clean  
RECOMMENDATION  
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when you operate the  
projector. Usage in these environments may cause poor image quality.  
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON MAINTENANCE OF THE FILTER  
MAINTAIN THE FILTER by using the Filter counter function in the menu.  
Clean the filter regularly. The frequency of cleaning the filter depends on the  
environment in which you use the projector. See “Filter counter” in the Setting  
Menu for details.  
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged, a “Filter warning” icon (red) will

Maintenance and Filter Cleaning  
Cleaning the Filter  
Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes  
clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and  
adversely affect the life of the projector. If a “Filter warning” icon (yellow or red) appears on the screen and the  
WARNING FILTER indicator lights or blinks, clean the filter immediately. Clean the filter by following the steps  
below.  
Turn off the projector, and unplug the AC power cord  
from the AC outlet.

First, clean up the dust on the projector and around the  
air vents.  
2
Pull out the filter cover from the projector and then  
remove the filter.

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