Projector Highlights
Minimal Space Needed for Installation
Compact body can be installed with minimal space requirements. (P182)
High-Resolution LCOS Projection
Projection at 1920x1200 (WUXGA), thanks to high-resolution reflective liquid 
crystal on silicon (LCOS) panels.
Split-Screen Display
Splits the screen for projection of two 
separate input signals at once. 
(P156) 
HDBaseT Input
The projector supports HDBaseT, a next-generation connectivity standard. 
HDBaseT offers a convenient connection for carrying high-quality video and audio 
signals equivalent to HDMI across distances up to 100 m over a single LAN cable. 
(P47, P48, P101, P102)
This terminal can also be used to connect the projector to a network. (P110)
Zooming to the Fit Screen Size

Edge Blending
Blend the overlapping edges of images 
from multiple projectors to make the 
overall image more seamless. (P158) 
Networked Multi-Projection (NMPJ) 
Project images from multiple computers via a network connection.
For details on Networked Multi-Projection (NMPJ), refer to the NMPJ user’s 
manual.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
In addition to wired LAN 
connectivity, the projector also 
supports Wi-Fi.
In Projector Access Point (PJ AP) 
mode, the projector can be

Safety Precautions
WARNING:
• THIS APPARATUS MUST BE GROUNDED.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE 
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
•This projector produces intense light from the projection lens. Do not stare 
directly into the lens, otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially careful 
that children do not stare directly into the beam.
•Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may result in a fire hazard.
•Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and rear of the projector 
cabinet is critical for proper air circulation and cooling of the unit. The diagrams 
shown here indicates the minimum space required. If the projector is to be built 
into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these minimum distances must be 
maintained.
•Do not cover the ventilation slots on the projector. Heat build-up can reduce the 
service life of your projector, and can also be dangerous.
•If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the projector from the 
power outlet.
•Do not project the same image for a long time. 
An afterimage may remain on the LCD panels due to the characteristics of the 
panels of the projector.
CAUTION ON HANGING FROM THE 
CEILING
When hanging the projector from the ceiling, clean the air intake vents and top of 
the projector periodically with a vacuum cleaner. If you leave the projector unclean 
for a long time, the cooling fans can be clogged with dust, and it may cause a 
breakdown or a disaster.
DO NOT SET THE PROJECTOR IN GREASY, WET, OR SMOKY CONDITIONS 
SUCH AS IN A KITCHEN TO PREVENT A BREAKDOWN OR A DISASTER. IF 
THE PROJECTOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH OIL OR CHEMICALS, IT MAY 
BECOME DETERIORATED.
