zUse a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the 
projector.
zDo not allow any objects to be within the area indicated by the dashed line below, which is an area 
within 30cm (11.8 inches) of the projector. Keep all obstacles and other objects at least 30cm away 
from the projector’s vents.
zAirflow from air conditioning equipment can blow the heat being exhausted from the area around 
the projector’s lens in a way that causes heat ripples to appear in the projected image. If this 
happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment or move the projector.

The projector supports projection and output of HDMI video and audio output from a computer or 
video device.
Important!Turn off the projector and the computer or video device before connecting them.
zYou will need to obtain a commercially available HDMI cable with a connector that matches the 
terminal of the output device on one end and a connector that matches the projector’s HDMI port 
(HDMI Type A Socket) on the other end.
zFor information about HDMI video signal supported by the projector, see page 64.
zThe projector supports L-PCM 32kHz, 44.1kHz, and 48kHz HDMI audio signals.

The projector is able to project images from the composite video output, S-video output, or 
component video output of a connected video device.
Important!Always turn off the projector and the video device before connecting them.
Connection to a composite video output or S-video output
NoteNote that regardless of whether the image being projected is being input via the projector’s 
S-VIDEO terminal or VIDEO terminal, the projector outputs audio that is input via the projector’s 
AUDIO IN L/R terminals.

Operation During Projection
Turning on the projector initially causes the same input source that was selected the last time it was 
turned off to be selected.
To select a different input source
1.Press the [INPUT] key.
zThis displays the input source selection screen.
2.Select either the Normal Input Mode or 3D Input Mode depending on the type of 
image you want to project.
zFor details, see “3D Input Mode” (page 17).
3.Use the [T] and [S] keys to select the name of the input source you want to 
select and then press the [ENTER] key.
zThe name of the input source you select appears in the upper right corner of the projection 
screen for a few seconds.
zThe message “No signal input” will appear if no input signal can be selected.
Resolution
Depending on the projector model, its video resolution will be fixed at XGA (1024 × 768 pixels) or 
WXGA (1280 × 800 pixels). Images may appear coarse, text and other figures may be difficult to read 
or a moire pattern may appear when the input signal from a computer does not match the projector’s 
video resolution. If this happens, try doing the following.
zChange the computer’s output resolution setting so it matches the projector’s video resolution.
For information about the video resolution of your projector, see the “DLP chip” item of the 
“Specifications” (page 73). See the user documentation that comes with your computer for details 
about changing its settings.
zChange the “Aspect Ratio” setting to “True” (Applies only to models that support WXGA video 
resolution).
With the “True” setting, the projector projects the input signal at its actual size (1 input source dot 
equal to one projector output pixel dot).
For information about configuring the Aspect Ratio setting, see “Changing the Aspect Ratio of the 
Projected Image” (page 23).

3D Input Mode
Your projector supports projection of 3D images. To project a 3D image, first enter the projector’s 3D 
input mode, and then select the input source.
Important!zSeparately available 3D glasses (YA-G30) are required in order to view a projected 3D image in 
3D.
zSeparately available special software (CASIO 3D Converter) is required to project a 3D image 
with the projector when a computer (analog RGB) is the input source.
z3D image projection is not supported via an HDMI connection or component video 
connection.
The input sources described below can be selected for projection in the 3D Input Mode.
NoteSee “3D Signals (3D Input Mode)” (page 64) for a list of 3D image signals supported by this 
projector.
Entering the 3D Input Mode
1.Press the [INPUT] key to display the input source selection screen.
2.Select Computer 1 (RGB), Computer 2 (RGB), S-video, or Video as the input 
source.
3.Use the [T] and [S] keys to move the highlighting to “To 3D input mode” and 
then press the [ENTER] key.
zThis enters the 3D input mode and closes the input source selection screen.
Important!zYou cannot select HDMI or USB as the input source in the 3D input mode. To use either of 
these input sources, change the input source setting back to normal input mode.
zWhen Computer 1 (or Computer 2) is selected as the input source in the 3D input mode, a 
component video signal input through the projector’s COMPUTER IN 1 (or COMPUTER IN 2) 
terminal is treated as an RGB signal resulting in abnormal image projection.
zExcept when using the projector for 3D image projection, you should normally leave it in the 
normal input mode.
Input SourceProjection Conditions
Computer (Analog RGB)zAny of the following types of 3D image data played back using separately available 
special software (CASIO 3D Converter).
– 2D image file converted to a 3D image file using CASIO 3D Converter
– Side-by-side 3D format files

Returning to the Normal Input Mode from the 3D Input Mode
1.Press the [INPUT] key to display the input source selection screen.
2.Use the [T] and [S] keys to move the highlighting to “To normal input mode” 
and then press the [ENTER] key.
zThis enters the normal input mode and closes the input source selection screen.
Horizontal Flipping in the 3D Input Mode
In side-by-side 3D, a full frame consists of two halves on the left and right for each eye. In rare cases, 
the left and right images may be reversed, which causes a loss of 3D depth. If this happens, try using 
the following procedure to swap the left and right images with each other.
To swap the left and right images
In the 3D input mode, press the [ENTER] key.

You can perform the following operations while projecting an image.
zImage brightness adjustment
zManual keystone correction
zColor mode selection
zImage zooming
zMomentarily blanking the image and muting the audio
zImage freeze
zPointer display in the projected image
zAspect ratio switching
Adjusting Image Brightness
Note(for USB port model users)
Use the setup menu (page 27) to adjust image brightness when the input source is an external 
device connected to the USB-A port.
1.Press the [BRIGHT] key.
zThis displays the brightness adjustment window.
2.Use the [W] and [X] keys to adjust image brightness.
3.To hide the window, press the [ESC] key.
To use manual keystone correction
The projector has a keystone correction feature that prevents 
distortion of the projected image when projecting from an 
angle. The projector detects when it is at a vertical angle to the 
screen and performs keystone correction automatically.
You can use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE –] keys to 
adjust keystone correction manually.

Selecting the Color Mode
You can select from among various different color mode settings in accordance with image contents 
and projection conditions.
Important!zThe color mode cannot be selected in the following cases.
zThe color mode cannot be selected while “On” is selected for the setup menu “Option 
Settings 2 J Interactive Pointer” setting. Though the color mode change operation may be 
possible on some projector models, doing so may cause problems with the optional 
interactive pointer (YA-P10) in some color modes.
To change the color mode
1.Press the [COLOR MODE] key.
zThis displays the color mode selection window. The currently selected color mode is the one 
whose button is selected (filled in).
2.Use the [T] and [S] keys to move the highlighting to the color mode you want to 
select, and then press the [ENTER] key.
zThis will select the button next to the highlighted color mode name.
zFor details on what each color mode does, see “Color Mode” (page 39) under “Image 
Adjustment 1 Main Menu”.
3.To hide the window, press the [ESC] key.
Zooming an Image
1.Press the [D-ZOOM +] key.
zThis will enlarge the center of the projected image one step.
2.To zoom in on the center of the projected image more, press the [D-ZOOM +] 
key again. To zoom out, press the [D-ZOOM –] key.
zEach press of [D-ZOOM +] zooms in (increases the zoom factor), while [D-ZOOM –] zooms 
out. Holding down either key continuously scrolls the zoom factor.
3.While an image is zoomed, use the [S], [T], [W], and [X] keys to scroll the view 
to other parts of the image.
4.To exit the zoom operation, press the [ESC] key.
zWhen “Off” is selected for the Eco Mode setting (page 25)
