Important!zTry performing the following steps, which may or may not return the projector to normal 
operation.
zIf normal operation does not resume after you perform the above steps, take the projector to 
your retailer or authorized CASIO service center.
The message “Please input 
the password.” appears 
and further operation is not 
possible.The “Option Settings 1J 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 23.
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 POWER/STANDBY 
indicator is lit red and the 
STATUS indicator is lit (or 
flashing) red or amber.An error occurred. See “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” (page 28).

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.

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.

The projector’s firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) can be updated from a computer 
connected to the projector’s SERVICE port (USB port for ROM updating) with a USB cable.
To connect the projector’s SERVICE port with a computer’s 
USB port
Use a commercially available USB cable to connect the projector’s SERVICE 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 SERVICE 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, see the “Projector Firmware Update Guide”, 
which is available at the CASIO website.
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 20) under “Setup Menu Settings”.

The projection distance values below are for reference when setting up the projector.
zThe projection distance is the approximate distance from the projector lens surface to the screen. 
The distance from the lens surface to the front edge  of the projector case (a in the illustration) is 
approximately 94 mm/3.7 inches.
z “h” in the illustration and table indicates the dist ance between the center of the projector lens and 
the bottom edge of the projection screen. The heig ht from the bottom edge of the projector to the 
center of the projector lens (b in the illu stration) is approximately 58 mm/2.3 inches.

Using Control Commands
This section explains the commands that are used to control the projector from a computer.
Command Send Format
zSee the “Command List” for details about command names and settings.
zAll commands use ASCII characters and decimal format integers.
zThe projector will return a question mark (?) when it is sent a command it cannot recognize. Also, 
any command that attempts to set a value that is outside the applicable allowable range will be 
ignored.
zIf the projector is performing a process initiated by a previously sent command, a projector key 
operation, or a remote controller key operation, send of the next command must wait until the 
projector completes the previous process.
