Useful Features and Functions
zMercury-free Hybrid Light Source
A CASIO-original laser and LED hybr id light source delivers high luminance up to 2,700 lumens. This 
projector does not use a mercury lamp,  making it environmentally friendly.
z No-wait Projection
A CASIO hybrid light source reaches maximum brightness immediately after power is turned on, 
compared with a wait of approximately one minute normally required with a mercury lamp. The light 
source will even reach maximum brightness immediately if you turn it back on right after you turn it 
off. A mercury lamp requires a longer  wait in this case to cool down.
z Eco Mode
You can select from among five levels that provide different combinations that balance power 
saving with projec tion brightness.
z Support for Three Input Sources
Analog RGB, component video (Y·Cb·Cr, Y·Pb ·Pr), and HDMI input sources are supported.
z Vertical Keystone Correction
Manual adjustment to correct for vertical keystoning (distortion of the projected image shape 
caused when projecting from below or above the projection surface) and return the projected image 
to a rectangular shape.
z AUDIO OUT Terminal for Audio Output
Audio input via the projector’s HDMI terminal or  AUDIO IN terminal is output from its AUDIO OUT 
terminal. Amped speakers or other equipment can be connected to the AUDIO OUT terminal when 
you want to output audio from another device via the projector.
z Ceiling Mounted and Rear Projection Support
The projector can be configured to project an image of normal orientation even when installed 
upside down (for ceiling pr ojection) or when projecting from behind the screen.
z Direct Power On
The projector can be configured to turn on automa tically and start projecting as soon as it is 
plugged into a power outlet.
z Firmware update
Firmware (software in th e projector flash ROM) u pdates can be transferred to the projector from a 
computer as required.

Getting Ready
This section explains how to select a location for the projector, how to connect its cables, and how to 
perform other operations required before using it.
Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure that you allow 
sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. The illustrations 
below show how the projector should be oriented relative to the screen for optimum projection.
Setup Precautions
zUse a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the 
projector.
z Do not located any objected within 30 cm (11.8 inches) around the projector. Particular care is 
required to keep objects away from projector air intake and exhaust openings.
z Airflow from air conditio ning equipment can blow the heat be ing 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.
Setting Up the Projector
Screen
Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.

Connect the projector to a power outlet and to an input source device.
NotezFor more information about component video connection, see “Connecting to a Component 
Video Output” on page 32.
z For information about how to co nnect for RS-232C control of the projector, see “Projector 
RS-232C Control” (page 39).
z For information about how to connect in order to update the projector firmware, see 
“Updating Firmware” (page 33).
Connecting Projector Cables
Use an RGB cable to connect to the RGB output terminal of a computer or other input source.
Use an HDMI cable * to connect to the HDMI output terminal of a computer, video equipment, 
or other input source.
Use the supplied power cord to plug 
the projector into a power outlet. *
 Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI cable.

Projector operations are performed using the remote controller that comes with it. Point the remote 
controller signal emitter at one of the signal receivers on the projector as you perform remote 
controller key operations. The maximum range of the remote controller signal is approximately 
5 meters (16.4 feet) (between signal emitter and receiver).
Important!zTo avoid running down the battery, store the remote control unit so its keys are not pressed 
inadvertently.

This section explains how to use the remote controller to perform projector operations.
To select the input source
1.Press the [INPUT] key.
2.On the “Input” dialog box that appears, use the [INPUT], [S] and [T] keys to 
select the input source you want and then press the [ENTER] key.

selected input source after about two seconds.
zThe name of the input source you selected will appear 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 detected.
Resolution
This projector’s video resolution is fixed at XGA (1024 × 768 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, change the computer’s 
output resolution setting so it matches the projector’s video resolution. See the user documentation 
that comes with your computer for details about changing its settings.
