Features of the Projector
Keystone correction function
Keystone distortion in projected images
can be corrected easily.
This makes images appear correctly
even when the projector has been set up
on a tilted vertical angle. (p.35)
Automatic setup function
When projecting computer images, the signals from the connected computer are
detected automatically and adjusted so that the optimum images are projected. Even if
several people are giving presentations using the same projector, the optimum picture
quality can be obtained simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the computers.
Each individual setting can also be adjusted manually. (p.37)
Brilliant, attractive images
Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions with a high
degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright environments.
Easy to Operate
The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection
(see "Freeze" on p.43) and zooming in on important areas of an image
(see "E-Zoom" on p.45).
Colour mode function
The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the
following six preset settings according to the projection environment being used.
No other troublesome colour adjustments are necessary. (p.47, 49)

Connecting to a Computer
Caution :
When connecting the projector to a computer, be sure to check the following.
• Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before connecting them. If
the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
• Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the
connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or
number of terminals, damage to the connector or port may result.
Eligible Computers
The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of
images may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure
that the computer you intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.
• Condition 1: The computer must have an image signal output port.
Check that the computer has a port such as an "RGB port", "monitor port" or
"CRT port" which can output image signals.
If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it may
not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you
may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the
documentation for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an
external monitor" or similar for further details.
• Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be
listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See "Appendices: List of
Supported Monitor Displays" (p.86).
Some computers allow you to change the output resolution, so if necessary,
change the resolution to one that matches a setting in the "List of Supported
Monitor Displays", while referring to the documentation provided with the
computer.
Tip :
• You may need to purchase a separate adapter depending on the shape of the computer's
port. Refer to the documentation provided with the computer for further details.
• If the computer and projector are too far away from each other for the accessory
computer cable to reach, use the optional VGA-HD15 PC cable. See "Appendices:
Optional Accessories" (p.80)
18
Projecting Images from the Computer
Use the accessory computer cable to connect the Computer/Component Video
port on the left side of the projector to the monitor port of the computer.

Procedure
Keystone correction can be carried out using either the projector's control panel
or the configuration menu. The following explanation describes how to correct
keystone distortion using the projector's control panel.
For adjustment using the configuration menu: "Setting" - "Keystone" (p.51)
Tip :
• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.
• The keystone correction settings are memorised even when the power is turned off. If
you change the position or angle of the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone
settings.
• If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out,
decrease the sharpness setting. (p.47, 48)
• If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when keystone
correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for keystone correction has
been exceeded. Check that the projector has not been set up at an angle which exceeds
the proper limit.

(p.66, 72)
• If the projector is positioned outside the normal projecting range of 0.9–11.3 m (2.9–
37.0 ft.), it may not be possible to obtain the correct focus. If you have trouble
obtaining the correct focus, check the projection distance.
Adjusting Computer Images
Automatic setup detects the status of the signals coming from the connected
computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum images
can be obtained. It involves adjustment of the following three items:
Tracking
, Position and Sync .
Tip :
• If "Auto Setup" in the "Video" menu is set to "OFF" (the default setting for this item is
"ON"), automatic setup is not carried out. If you press the [Auto] button on the remote
control while computer signals are being projected, adjustment will then be carried
out.

The lamp will turn off automatically and
projection will stop. Wait for about 5 minutes
without operating the projector. After about 5
minutes have elapsed, unplug the power cable
and then check the following two points.
• Check that the air inlet and air outlet are
clear, and that the projector is not positioned
against a wall.
• If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.
When the power cable is plugged back in, the
projector will return to its previous state, so
press the [Power] button on either the
projector's control panel or the remote control
to turn it back on. If the projector continues to
overheat even after the above points have been
checked, or if the indicators show a problem
when the power is turned back on, stop using
the projector, disconnect the power cable from
the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or
the nearest address provided at "International
Warranty Conditions" in Safety Instructions/
World-Wide Warranty Terms.

• If a laptop computer or a computer with a LCD screen
has been connected to the projector, it is necessary to
output the image signals to the projector rather than
to the screen.
Normally image signals are output to only the computer's
LCD screen, so you need to change the output to an
external destination. For some computer models, when the
image signals are output externally, they no longer appear
on the LCD screen. For details, refer to the section of the
documentation provided with your computer under a
heading such as "External output", "Connecting an external
monitor" or similar. (p.30)
• Has the focus been adjusted correctly?
(p.37)

• Has the front adjustable feet been adjusted so that the
image angle is too big?
If the image angle is too big, the image will be out of focus
vertically. (p.34)
• Is the projector at the correct distance?
The recommended distance from the projector to the screen
is within 0.9–11.3 m (2.9–37.0 ft.). Set up the projector so
that the projection distance is within this range. (p.16)

Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and
replacing consumable parts.
Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected
images starts to deteriorate.
Caution :
Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before
cleaning.
Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a
small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before
using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the case again with a soft, dry
cloth.
Caution :
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector
case. These can cause the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to gently
wipe the lens.
Caution :
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily
become damaged.

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and damage
the projector.
Turn the projector upside down and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dust
from the air filter.
Tip :
• If the air filter is difficult to clean or if it is broken, it should be replaced. Contact your
dealer for a spare air filter.
• Spare lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced
when the lamp is replaced.

It is time to replace the lamp when:
• The message "Lamp Replace" appears on the screen for 30 seconds
when projection starts
.
• When the (Warning) indicator is flashing red at 0.5-second intervals
• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate
Tip :
• The replacement warning message is set to appear after about 1400 hours of lamp use
in order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images. If you continue
to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater.
When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon
as possible, even if it is still working.
• The warning message appears after about 1400 hours of use, but the actual life of each
individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way
it has been used. Some lamps may stop operating before 1400 hours of use, so you
should always have a spare lamp ready in case.
• Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.

Maintenance
76
Caution :
• If the lamp stops working and needs to be replaced, there is the danger that the lamp
may break when handled.
If replacing the lamp of a projector that has been installed to the ceiling, you should
always assume that the lamp is broken and remove the lamp cover very carefully.
• Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before opening the lamp cover. It takes
a further one hour after the cool-down
period has finished for the lamp to be cool
enough.
Procedure
1
Turn off the projector power, wait
for the cool-down period to end,
and then disconnect the power
cable.
The cool-down period lasts for about 20
seconds. The actual time will vary
depending on the external air temperature.
2
Wait until the lamp has cooled
down, and then remove the lamp
cover from the base of the
projector.
It takes approximately one hour for the
lamp to cool down by itself after the cool-
down period has finished.
Put your finger into the recess, and pull
straight out to remove the lamp cover.
3
Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.
Use the screwdriver that is supplied with
the spare lamp or a Phillips screwdriver to
loosen the two lamp fixing screws that are
securing the lamp to the projector.
Replacing the Lamp
Maintenance
77
4
Take out the lamp.
Hold the lamp by the two tabs to lift it up
and out from the projector.
5
Install the new lamp.
Hold the lamp so that it faces the correct
way to fit into the projector, and then
insert the lamp and tighten the two lamp
fixing screws.
6
Install the lamp cover.
Slide the cover in from the outside, and
then push it in until it clicks into place.
Tip :
• Install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the lamp turns off automatically
as a safety precaution. Moreover, the lamp will not turn on if the lamp or the lamp
cover is not installed correctly.
• Spare lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced
when the lamp is replaced. (p.79)
• Dispose of used lamps properly in accordance with your local regulations.
The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating
time. When the cumulative operating time reaches a certain point, it causes the
replacement warning message to be displayed. Therefore, the counter needs to
be reset after the lamp has been replaced with a new one. You can do this using
the configuration menu.
Tip :
Do not reset the lamp operating time except after the lamp has been replaced, otherwise
the lamp replacement period will not be indicated correctly.

Glossary
Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may
be unfamiliar or which were not explained in the text of this guide itself.
Further information can be obtained by referring to other commercially-
available publications.
Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have
an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for
standard images is 4:3.
Colour
temperature
The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the colour
temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a bluish tinge. If the
colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.
Component
video
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour
signals separated, in order to provide better image quality.
In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of
three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and Pr (colour
difference signals).
Composite
video
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour
signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by
household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats).
The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal
which are contained in the colour bar are overlapped to form a single
signal.
Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be
increased or decreased in order to make text and graphics stand out
more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular
property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".
Cool-down The cooling process for the projector's lamp unit continues even after
the [Power] button on the projector's control panel or the remote control
has been pressed to turn off the lamp. After the lamp turns off, the
cooling fan continues operating, but all button operations are disabled.
The length of time that this is happening is called the "cool-down
period". The cool-down period lasts for about 20 seconds. The actual
time will vary depending on the external air temperature.
Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a
2-channel format which uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-
channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two
rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-
definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressive
scanning , i = interlaced scanning )
• Screen aspect ratio
of 16:9
• Dolby Digital
