CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING
TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This symbol warns the user that uninsulated voltage within the unit
may have sufficient magnitude to cause electric shock. Therefore, it is
dangerous to make any kind of contact with any part inside of this unit.
This symbol alerts the user that important literature concerning the
operation and maintenance of this unit has been included.
Therefore, it should be read carefully in order to avoid any problems.
ATTENTION
RISQUE D'ELECTROCUTION
NE PAS OUVRIR
MISE EN GARDE: AFIN DE REDUIRE LES RISQUES D' ELECTROCUTION, NE
PAS DEPOSER LE COUVERCLE, IL N'Y A AUCUNE PIECE

Ce symbole a pour but de prévenir I' utilisateur de la présence d'
une tension dangereuse, non isolée se trouvant à l' intérieur de l'
appareil. Elle est d' une intensité sufsante pour constituer un risque
d' électrocution. Eviter le contact avec les pièces à l' intérieur de cet
appareil.
Ce symbole a pour but de prévenir l' utilisateur de la présence d'
importantes instructions concernant l' entretien et le fonctionnement de
cet appareil. Par conséquent, elles doivent être lues attentivement an
d' éviter des problèmes.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
During servicing carefully observe the following.
1. OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS
Items and locations that require special care during
serv-icing, such as the cabinet, chassis, and parts are
labelled with individual safety instructions. Carefully
comply with these instructions and all precautions in
the instruction manual.
2. BE CAREFUL OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The chassis carries an AC voltage. If you touch the
chassis while it is still alive, you will get a severe
shock. If you think the chassis is alive, use an isolating
transformer or gloves, or pull out the plug before
replacing any parts.
3. USE SPECIFIED PARTS
The components have been chosen for minimum
ammability and for specic levels of resistance value
and withstand voltage. Replacement parts must
match these original specifications. Parts whose
specifications are particularly vital to safe use and
maintenance of the set are marked on the circuit
diagrams and parts list.
Substitution of these parts can be dangerous for you
and the customer, so use only specied parts.
4. REMOUNT ALL PARTS AND RECONNECT ALL
WIRES AS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED
For safety, insulating tape and tubes are used
throughout, but some lift-off parts on the printed wiring
board require special attention.
All wires are positioned away from high-temperature
and high-voltage parts, and, if removed for servicing,
they must be retuned precisely to their original
positions.
5. LAMP
Be very careful of the lamp because it generates high
heat while it is used at high voltage. When replacing
the bulb, make sure it is cool enough.
6. LENS
Do not look into the lens during projection. This
important to avoid damage to the eyes.
7. SERVICING
At the time of repair or inspection services, use an
earth band (wrist band), without fail.
8. RUN A COMPLETE SAFETY CHECK AT THE
COMPLETION OF SERVICING
After comp le ti on o f se rvicing , co nf ir m th at a ll
screws, parts, and wiring, removed or disconnected
for servicing, have been returned to their original
positions. Also examine if the serviced sections and
peripheral areas have suffered from any deterioration
as a result of servicing. In addition, check insulation
between external metallic parts and blades of wall-
outlet plugs. This examination is indispensable in
conrming complete establishment of safety.
(Insulation check)
Pull out a plug from a wall outlet to disconnect the
connection cable. Then turn on the POWER switch.
Use a 500V megger (Note 2) and confirm that the
insulation resistance is 1MΩ or more between each
terminal of the plug and exposed external metal (Note
1). If the measured value is below the specied level,
then it is necessary to inspect and x the set.
(Note 1)
Exposed external metal....RGB input terminals, control
terminals, etc.
(Note 2)
If a 500V megger is not available for an unavoidable
reason, then use a circuit tester or the like for inspection.

MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning the projector
1-1 Cleaning the Cabinet
Refer to the following guide to clean the projector cabinet.
a. Wipe off dust with a clean dampened cloth.
b. Moisten the cloth with warm water and mild detergent and wipe the cabinet.
c. Rinse all detergent from the cloth and wipe the projector again.
CAUTION
To prevent discoloration or fading of the case, do not use abrasive alcohol-based cleaners.
1-2 Cleaning the Lens
Refer to the following guide to clean the projector lens.
a. Apply a little optic lens cleaner to a clean, lint free cloth (do not apply the cleaner directly to the
lens).
b. Lightly wipe the lens in a circular motion.
CAUTION
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
To prevent discoloration or fading, avoid getting cleaner on the projector case.
1-3 Cleaning the Filters
The projector uses two lters to keep the fans free of dust and other particles, and should be cleaned every
500 hours of operation. In dustier environments, it is recommended to clean the lters more frequently. If
the lter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat. When the message below is displayed the lters
must be cleaned.
Please clean lter.
Note:
When the Please clean lter message is displayed, please clean or replace all two lters at the same
time to synchronize the hours used display.
The Filter Message item should be enabled in the Options menu.
