Press the [AUTO] key to execute an automatic adjustment operation. zOn the setup menu, perform the “Image Adjustment 2J Frequency” and “Image Adjustment 2J Phase” adjustments. (Applies only when the input source is an RGB signal.) See page 58. The message “Please input the password.” appears and further operation is not possible.The “Option Settings 1J Power On Password” setting on the setup menu is turned on, so the projector is password protected. Input the correct password, and then press the [ENTER] key. See page 62. The remote controller does not work.zThe remote controller batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries. zThe remote controller may be too far from the projector. Make sure the remote controller is within about five meters from the projector when performing operations.

The light source unit does not light.The light source unit has reached the end of its service life or it is malfunctioning. Contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center for replacement. Power suddenly turns off and the projector restarts.The projector periodically performs a self-check operation. In rare cases, the result of a self-check may cause the projector to restart automatically. This normally does not indicate malfunction, so you can continue using the projector. However, malfunction may be indicated if successive restarts keep occurring. If this happens contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center. 1. Unplug the AC power cord and wait for at least 10 minutes. 2. Plug the power cord back in and turn the projector back on again. ProblemCause and Recommended Action
72 Appendix This section explains how to establish a component video connection between the projector and a video device. zComponent video output terminals come in 3-terminal sets: Y·Cb·Cr or Y·Pb·Pr. Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on a component video cable with the colors of the terminals (Green: Y; Blue: Cb/Pb; Red: Cr/Pr). zNote that connection only to an analog component video output terminal is supported. Connection to a digital output terminal is not supported.

74 The projector’s firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) can be updated and user logo images can be transferred to the projector from a computer connected to the projector’s LOGO port (USB port for ROM updating) with a USB cable. To connect the projector’s LOGO port with a computer’s USB port Use a commercially available USB cable to connect the projector’s LOGO port to the computer’s USB port. Use a USB cable with a micro USB plug on one end for connection to the projector’s LOGO port, and a plug on the other end with a shape that is compatible with the computer USB port. NotezFor details about how to update the firmware and how to transfer a user logo to the projector, see the “User Logo Transfer Guide” and the “Projector Firmware Update Guide”, which are available at the CASIO website.

75 The projector can be hung from a ceiling. When doing so, the projector should be turned upside down, and secured to the ceiling. For full details, contact the retailer where you purchased the projector. Important!zWhen hanging the projector from a ceiling, make sure that it is at least one meter away from fire detectors, fire alarms, and other fire protection devices. Locating the projector too close to a fire protection device creates the risk of mis-operation of the device due to warm air exhausted from the projector. Also, avoid locating the projector close to fluorescent lights or other strong light sources. Bright light can shorten the operating range of the remote controller or even make remote control impossible. When selecting a location for the projector, be sure to test for proper operation of the remote controller. zThe vertical and horizontal orientation of the projected image is reversed from the normal configuration when projecting from a projector hung from the ceiling. You need to change the setup of the projector in order to correct for this. For details, see “Screen Settings 3 Ceiling Mount” (page 59) under “Setup Menu Settings”. Hanging the Projector from a Ceiling
