Adjusting the Image Quality
Adjusting Computer Images and RGB Video Images
Automatic setup detects analogue RGB signals coming from a connected
computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum
images can be obtained.
Automatic setup involves adjustment of the following three items:
Trackingg, Position and Sync (synchronisation)g.
If "Auto Setup" in the "Signal" menu is set to "Off", automatic setup is not
carried out. In this case, press the [Auto] button on the remote control or
the [Enter] button on the projector's control panel to make the adjustment
while computer or RGB video images are being projected.
If vertical stripes appear in the projected
computer or RGB video images, and this cannot
be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to
adjust the Trackingg manually using the
following procedure.
PROCEDURE
A
Select "Signal" from the configuration menu, and
then select "Tracking".
For details on this operation, refer to
"Using the Configuration
Menu
". sp.32
Check the buttons you can use and the operations they perform
in the guide at the bottom of the screen.
Automatic Setup
•If you press the [Auto] button on the remote control, or
the [Enter] button on the control panel, while
performing other functions such as E-zoom or Freeze,
these functions are canceled and then the adjustment is
made.
•Sometimes the signals may not be adjusted correctly
depending on the type of computer or RGB video
signals being input. In such cases, use the
configuration menu commands to adjust the tracking
and sync settings manually. sp.14

If flickering, fuzziness or interference appear in
computer or RGB video images, and this cannot
be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to
adjust the Sync (synchronisation)g manually
using the following procedure.
PROCEDURE
A
Select "Signal" from the configuration menu, and
then select "Sync.".
For details on this operation, refer to "Using the Configuration
Menu
". sp.32
Check the buttons you can use and the operations they perform

Selecting the Projection Quality
(Color Mode)
The following seven preset colour modes are available for use depending
on the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily
obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that
corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will
vary depending on which colour mode is selected.
•If you adjust the sync without adjusting the trackingg
first, it will not be possible to get the best adjustment
results. Incorrect tracking adjustment may not be
noticeable with some types of picture. However, pictures
with lots of lines and shading will tend to show
incorrect tracking adjustments more clearly, so check
the tracking adjustment first.
•Flickering and fuzziness may also occur when the
brightness, contrast
g, sharpness, zoom, and keystone
correction settings are adjusted.
Using the remote control
Using the control panel
Mode Application

Functions for Enhancing Projection
Pausing the Image and Sound (A/V Mute)
For example, this can be used if you want to pause the projection for a
moment and focus the audience’s attention on what you are saying. Or if
you are making a computer presentation and you do not want to show
details, such as selecting different files.
PROCEDURE
You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [A/V Mute] button.
Freezing the Image (Freeze)
The source image continues to project even when the screen is frozen. You
can still perform operations such as changing files, without projecting any
images.
PROCEDURE
You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [Freeze] button.
•If you use this function when projecting moving
images, the images and sound will still continue to be
played back by the source, and you cannot return to the
point where the A/V mute function was activated.
•The screen display in A/V mute can be chosen from
black, blue, or a logo by using "Extended" -"Display" -
"A/V Mute" in the configuration menu.
Remote control
•Sound does not stop.
•Even though the image on the screen is frozen, the
image source continues to project, and so it is not
possible to resume projection from the point where it
was paused.
•Pressing the [Freeze] button also clears configuration
menu displays and help messages.
•The freeze function still works while the E-Zoom
function is being used.

Installation
Setting Up the Projector
The projector supports the following four different projection methods,
allowing you to choose the best method for displaying your images.
•For ceiling mount installation (suspending from the
ceiling), a special installation procedure is required.
Failure to install correctly may result in injury or
damage if the projector falls.
•Do not set this projector up on its side to carry out
projection,otherwise malfunctions may occur.
•If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent
the screws from loosening, or you use lubricants, oils
and so on, the casing may crack and the projector may
fall causing serious injury and serious damage to the
projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling
mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from
loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.
• Front projection (Front projection)
• Rear projection using a translucent screen (Rear projection)
•The optional ceiling mount is required when installing
the projector on a ceiling. sp.67
•When using ceiling projection or projection using a
translucent screen, set the "Projection" command in
the "Extended" menu to match the installation method.
sp.37
• Front/ceiling projection (Front/Ceiling projection)
• Rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen
(Rear/Ceiling projection)

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.
Clean the projector's surface 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's surface. Then wipe it again
with a soft, dry cloth.
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use a lens cleaning paper to
gently wipe the lens.
If dust collects on the air filter or the air outlet, it can cause the internal
temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with
operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life.
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three
months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in
particularly dusty environments.
Make sure you read the separate Safety Instructions/
World-Wide Warranty Terms before cleaning.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or
thinner to clean the projector's surface. These can
cause the projector to warp and make the coating finish
peel off.
Cleaning the Lens
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the
lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the Air Filters and Air Intake Vent
If the air filters are broken or if the warning message
reappears after they have been cleaned, they should be
replaced. Replace with a new air filter. See "Replacing
the Air Filter". sp.63
58
Maintenance
Replacing Consumables
This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the lamp,
and the air filters.
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not
operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the
batteries are becoming flat. Replace the batteries. Have two spare AAA-
size alkali batteries ready to use when required.
PROCEDURE
A
Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the catch of the battery compartment cover, lift
the cover up.
B
Insert the batteries.
Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery
holder to ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way.

•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.
•Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on
the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker
or stop working before the lamp warning message
appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in
case it is needed.
•Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
Replacing the Lamp
•If you are replacing the lamp because it has stopped
working, it is possible that the lamp is broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been
installed on a ceiling, you should always assume that
the lamp is broken and be extremely careful when
removing the lamp cover.
•Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before
removing the lamp cover. To give the lamp enough time
to cool down after turning off the power, wait for about
one hour.

Glossary
The following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which are 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.
Color Temp. The temperature of an object that is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours take on a bluish tinge. If the
colour temperature is lower, the colours 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".
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 = progressiveg, i = interlacedg)
•Screen aspect ratiog of 16:9
•Dolby Digitalg audio reception and playback (or output)
Interlaced A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence
starting from left to right and then from the top to the bottom of the screen. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines
are displayed alternately.
Progressive A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create
a single image.
Refresh rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this,
the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh
operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions
for High-Definition Television.
69
Glossary
Security lock A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed
through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System
manufactured by Kensington.
Squeeze mode In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the
recording medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.
sRGB An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment
can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has a sRGB mode, set
both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.
SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) × 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
S-Video A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated in order to provide better image quality.
It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (colour signal).
SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) × 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
Sync (synchronisation) The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not
match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals
(the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronized,
problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
Tracking The signals output from computers and RGB video equipment have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not
match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these
signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will
appear in the projected images.
USB An abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. USB is an interface for connecting personal computers to peripheral devices which
only support relatively low data transmission speeds.
VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) × 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.
XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) × 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible
computers.

List of ESC/VP21 Commands
Command List
When a power on command is sent to the projector, the power will turn on
and the projector will change to warm-up mode. When the power has
turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) will be returned.
When the projector executes a command, it returns a ":" and waits for the
next command to be sent.
If command processing terminates with an error, the projector outputs an
error message and then returns the ":" code.
* When issuing any of the above commands, tack a Carriage Return (CR)
code (0Dh) on to the end.
