E-13 A Check of the Supplied Items and the Names of the Parts Operation of the Remote Control •Please use the remote control within a range of about 7 m from the remote control IR sensor of the projector (located at both the front and rear) and within an angle of 10 degrees to the left and 10 degrees to the right. Note that this distance may be shorter depending on battery consumption. •The remote control will not function when there is an obstacle located between the remote control and the remote control IR sensor of the projector. Battery Replacement 1 Insert the battery with the + side facing up as illustrated on the inside of the case. Firmly hold the remote control with your hand and in- sert the tip of a ballpoint pen or some other pointed object into the hole on the rear side. Note that there is the risk of scratching the case when using a pointed item such as an awl. Slide the battery holder toward you by pressing from above with the pointed item, then remove the holder. 2 3 Handling of the Remote Control •Do not subject the remote control to a strong shock such as dropping it from a table. Doing so could damage it and render it inoperable. •Do not expose it to water or other liquid. If the remote control becomes wet, wipe it dry immediately. •Avoid exposure to heat and steam. Remove the coin-type lithium battery when the remote control will not be used for an extended period. •Do not disassemble or heat the coin-type lithium battery, nor throw it into a fire. •Please follow the disposal method of your region in disposing of the used coin-type lithium battery. •The remote control may fail to operate or performance may worsen when it is used near an inverter type fluorescent lamp. •Please store the coin-type lithium battery in a place that is out of the reach of children. If the battery is swallowed, promptly seek the care of a doctor. •Please handle the remote control with care, since there are some operations available only with it. CAUTION Return the battery holder to its original state.4 NOTE: When it is time to replace the battery, please purchase a CR2025 coin-type lithium battery. The use of batteries having a different shape such as the CR2032 may make removal difficult.Before Using the Projector An insulation sheet has been inserted for protection during transportation prior to shipping. Please pull out and remove the sheet before use. Insulation sheet
E-14 Procedure Up to Projection 1 Consideration of placement location and screen size Determine the screen and projector setup location. Set the projector on a strong and stable, level platform. 2Connections with input equipment Connect your personal computer/video equipment.

The tilt adjustment allows the position of the projection image to be raised and lowered. The adjustment angle is from 0 degrees to 7 degrees. Tilt adjustment → See Page E-22 See Page E-15 for information about the projection distance and screen size. → See Page E-15
E-15 Please use the following diagrams to determine the screen display size and the type of screen required for any given projector location. Projection distances that will be in focus will be 1.3 m (4.3 feet) to 11.3 m (37.0 feet) from the front of the lens. Please arrange the setup within this range. Setup Location •Do not place the projector in locations that will reach high temperatures or low temperatures. Operation ambient temperature: 0°C (32°F) to 35°C (95°F) •Set the screen so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight or the light of direct illumination. When light hits the screen, the screen show a white cast and will be difficult to watch. In a bright room, the curtains should be drawn or blinds closed and the area around the screen kept dark. •Do not set up the projector in locations exposed to dampness, dust, greasy smoke or tobacco smoke. Doing so will result in the adhesion of dirt to lenses, mirrors, and other optical parts and cause a degradation of image quality. •Do not place the projector in a location where the ventilation vents will be blocked or in closed areas having poor ventilation. Doing so will cause the temperature to rise and could cause a fire or acci- dent. (The exhaust vents are at the front of the projector and the air intake vents are located at the side.)

E-16 Connection Precautions •To protect this projector and the equipment to be connected, switch off the power of each unit before making connections. •Please read the various equipment instruction manuals for information about the connection of the equipment and the method of use. •When connection is made with a notebook computer and the image is displayed on the LCD screen of the notebook computer, a proper display might not be obtained on projection screen. Switching off the display of the notebook computer will result in a proper display. The method of switching off the display of the notebook computer will differ depending on the PC manufacturer. Please read the instruction manual of the notebook computer for details. •Connection might not be possibly depending on the model and settings of the personal computer. Please contact your dealer of purchase for further information.

E-18 Connections with the Personal Computer Please check the matters described below when the image of the personal computer is not projected or when there is projection but the image is not correct. ● The image is not projected When the external output signal from the personal computer is not input to the MP-20E, No signal being input is displayed on the display screen of the MP-20E. Should this occur, please check the following matters. 1Try restarting the personal computer. When the MP-20E is connected after the personal computer has been started, the connection of the MP-20E might not be recognized by the personal computer. When the MP-20E has not been recognized, the external output signal from the personal computer will not be output and there will not be an image to project. 2Check the functions of the personal computer. Depending on the notebook computer, some computers will require an operation to output a signal from the external output connector. If this operation is not performed, the external output signal from the notebook computer will not be output. Please see the instruction manual of the notebook computer you are using and perform the operation that will output the signal from the external output connector. (Operation Example) IBM PC/AT and DOS/V computers: Press the [Fn] key + any one of the [F1] to [F12] keys (noting that the operation will differ depending on the model) PC98 notebook computers later than the Nr Series (with the exception of the PC-98NX): Press the Suspend Resume switch. Correspondence List for Connection Problems with the Personal When the Image of the Personal Computer Screen Is Not Projected ●The screen of the personal computer is correct, but the image is not projected properly Please check the functions of the personal computer. Even though the LCD screen of the notebook computer is properly displayed, the projected image might not be projected properly. Due to restrictions of the notebook computer there will rarely be instances in which the setting of a simultaneous display (i.e., simultaneous output of the external output signal while displaying the screen of the personal computer) will result in a signal that greatly deviates from the range supported by the MP-20E and proper projection will not be possible. Should this occur, a proper image will not be obtained even when adjustments are made with the MP-20E. In some instances, the personal computer screen will be properly projected by the MP-20E when the simultaneous display is cancelled and an operation is performed to output only the external output signal.
