Projector features / Preparations

Projector features

This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC/PAL/

SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation

and gets a large image from short distance.



High Brightness

Newly developed 230W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher

brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean

enough for use in bright rooms.



Low Noise

WHISPER mode is available for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter

operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more

important than brightness.



Compact Body

Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim,

which gives you more ﬂ exibility and usability to use it where you want.

Preparations

About contents of package

Please see the "Contents of package" of the "User's Manual - Quick Guide". Your

Adjusting the projector's elevator

WARNING

►

Do not adjust the projector’s elevator during use or

immediately after use. Handling while the projector is in a high temperature

could cause a burn and/or malfunction to the projector.

CAUTION

►If you press the elevator button without holding the projector,

the projector might crash down, overturn, smash your ﬁ ngers and possibly

result in malfunction.

To prevent damaging the projector and injuring yourself,

always hold the projector whenever using the elevator buttons to adjust the

elevator feet.

►

Do not incline the projector rightward or leftward. Also do not incline it

backward or forward exceeding 9 degrees. Exceeding these range could cause

malfunction, and could shorten the lifetime of the consumables.

►Except for inclining by the elevator feet adjustment, place the projector

horizontally.

You can use the elevator feet to make adjustments if the surface on which you

need to set the projector is uneven or if you otherwise need to adjust the angle of

projection. The adjustment range of the elevator feet is 0 to 9 degrees.

After making sure that the projector is cool adequately, press and hold in the

elevator buttons while holding the projector.

The elevator buttons and the elevator feet are on the both sides.

Raise or lower the projector to the desired height and release the elevator

buttons.

When you release the elevator buttons, the elevator feet will lock into position.

If necessary, you can also ﬁ nely adjust the height of the projector by twisting

the elevator feet by hand.

About the ﬁ lter cover for bottom-up use

WARNING

►Do not replace the ﬁ lter cover during use or immediately after

use. While the projector is connected with a power supply, or the projector is in

a high temperature state, handling could cause an electric shock, a ﬁ re, a burn

and/or malfunction to the projector. Before handling the projector, make sure

the power switch is off and the power cord is not plugged in, then wait at least

45 minutes.

When the projector is installed bottom up, please use the accessory ﬁ lter cover

for bottom-up use. It is higher than usual ﬁ lter cover, to keep the space for intake

ventilation. Please change the ﬁ lter cover in the following procedure.

After making sure that the projector is cool adequately,

slowly turn the

projector so that the lens-side is facing up. Please be careful for the projector

not to fall. While the projector is placed lens-side up, hold the projector.

Unhooking the ﬁ lter cover’s claws, pull the ﬁ lter cover in the direction of the

arrow to remove it.

Replace the ﬁ lter cover for bottom-up use and snap it back into place.

Slowly turn the projector so that the top is facing up.

Connecting your devices

CAUTION

►Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector.

Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely

loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage

to the device and/or projector

►Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection.

Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a

certain picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For

cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.

►Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection

may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.

NOTE

•

Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure

to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to

simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer

to the

instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.

•

Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.

•

Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these

modes will not be possible with this projector.

• For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary.

• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input,

automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed. In this

case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution

on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended

to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.
