❷ Introduction to the Projector
This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.
Congratulations on Your Purchase of The Projector
The  LV-7375/LV-7370/LV-7275/LV-8300  is  one  of  the  very  best  projectors  available  today.  The  projector  enables 
you  to  project  precise  images  up  to  300  inches  across  (measured  diagonally)  from  your  PC  or  Macintosh  com-
puter (desktop or notebook), or audio-video equipment.
You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, from behind a screen, or permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The 
remote control can be used wirelessly.
*1 Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself.
  The  projector  must  be  installed  by  qualified  technicians  in  order  to  ensure  proper  operation  and  reduce  the 
risk of bodily injury.
 
In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accor
-
dance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.
 
Features you'll enjoy:
•   Portable LCD projector with high brightness
 
The LCD projector in a compact design provides high brightness.
•
 
Quick start & Direct Power Off
 
Eight seconds after turning on the power, the projector is ready to display PC or video images.
 
The  projector  has  a  feature  called  “Direct  Power  Off ”.  This  feature  allows  the  projector  to  be  turned  off  (even 
when projecting an image) using a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.
NOTE:  If  you  turn  on  the  projector  immediately  after  the  lamp  is  turned  off  or  when  the  temperature  is  high,  the  fans  run 
without displaying an image for some time.
•
 
Direct Power on and Power Management features
 
The Direct power on (AC), Direct power on (Comp1), Power management, and Off timer features eliminate the 
need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or projector cabinet.
 
(For Direct power on (AC), Direct power on (Comp1), and Power management, see page 
63; for Off timer, see 
page 62.)
•
 
A variety of input ports and a comprehensive array of system control interfaces
 
This projector supports input signals on the following ports: DVI-I connector (DVI-I 29 Pin) with HDCP compat
-
ible, 15pin D-Sub, composite and S-video.
•
 
7W built-in speaker for an integrated audio solution
 
Powerful 7 watt speaker provides volume need for large rooms.
•
 
Auto vertical keystone correction
 
Auto keystone feature allows the projector to detect its tilt and correct vertical distortion automatically. (page 
33)
•
 
Supporting up to UXGA resolution
 
High  resolution  display  -  up  to  UXGA  compatible,  XGA  (LV-7375/LV-7370/LV-7275)  /  WXGA  (LV-8300)  native 
resolution.
•
 
Five picture preset modes for user adjustable picture and color settings
 
Each picture preset mode can be customized and memorized according to your preference. (page 
50)
•
 
Preventing unauthorized use of the projector
 
Enhanced smart security settings for password protection (page 
38), cabinet key lock (page 60), and anti-theft 
security cable lock (page 4) to help prevent unauthorized access, adjustments and theft deterrence.
•
 
Notifying an error message via e-mail when using wired LAN
 
The Alert Mail feature notifies your computer of an error message via e-mail when using wired LAN. The error 
message  will  be  notified  when  the  projector  lamp  has  reached  the  end  of  its  usable  life  or  an  error  occurs  in 
the projector (page 43). You can configure the network settings of the projector on your computer. (page 41)
•
 
3 W standby power consumption
 
Setting [Power-saving] mode for [Standby mode] in the menu reduces standby power consumption to 3 watts.

Remote Control Precautions
•  Handle the remote control carefully.
•   If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
•
  Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
•
  Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
•
  Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/-) aligned correctly.
•
  If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
•
  Do not place the batteries upside down.
•
  Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
• 
  Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control
Battery Installation
Press  firmly  and  slide  the 
battery cover off.
Remove  both  old  batteries  and 
install  new  ones  (AAA).  Ensure 
that  you  have  the  batteries'  po-
larity (+/–) aligned correctly.
Slip  the  cover  back  over  the  bat-
teries until it snaps into place. Do 
not  mix  different  types  of  batter-

remote sensor on projector cabinet
7m/22 feet
•  The  infrared  signal  operates  by  line-of-sight  up  to  a  distance  of  about  7  m  (22  feet)  and  within  a  60-degree 
angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
•
 
The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light 
falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.

is  approximately  21"  measured  diagonally  when  the  projector  is  roughly  0.8  m  (2.6')  from  the  wall  or  screen.  The 
largest the image can be is 300" when the projector is about 11.3 m (37.0') from the wall or screen. Use the draw-
