About the filter cover for bottom-up use
WARNING  ►Do not replace the filter cover during use or immediately 
after use. While the projector connects with a power supply, or the projector is 
in a high temperature state, handling could cause an electric shock, a fi re, a 
burn and/or malfunction to the projector.Before handling, make sure the power 
switch is off and the power cord is not plugged in, then wait at least 45 minutes.
When the projector is installed bottom up, please use the accessory fi lter cover 
for bottom-up use. It is higher than usual filter cover, to keep the space for intake 
ventilation. Please change in the following procedure.
1. After making sure that the projector is cool adequately, slowly turn the 
projector so that the lens-side is facing up. Please be careful for a projector 
not to fall. While the projector is placed lens-side up, hold the projector .
2. Unhooking the filter cover’s claws, pull the filter cover in the direction of the 
arrow to remove it.
3. Replace the filter cover for bottom-up use and snap it back into place.

Setting up
Connecting your devices
CAUTION  ►Turn off all devices prior to connecting them to the projector. 
Attempting to connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely 
loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage 
to the device and/or projector.
►Use the accessory cable or a designated-type cable for the connection. 
Some cables have to be used with core set. A too long cable may cause a 
certain picture degradation. Please consult with your dealer for details. For 
cables that have a core only at one end, connect the core to the projector.
►Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection 
may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector. 

NOTE  • Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector, be sure 
to activate the laptop’s RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT display or to 
simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done, please refer 
to the 
instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.
• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.
• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these 
modes will not be possible with this projector.
• For some RGB signal modes, the optional Mac adapter is necessary .
• When the image resolution is changed on a computer, depending on an input, 
automatic adjust function may take some time and may not be completed. In this case, 
you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the new resolution on 
Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original. It might be recommended to 
use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the resolution.
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and 
peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 
2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by connecting this projector to computers that are 
VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible. 
• Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB cable to the 
RGB IN1 port (DDC 2B compatible) and/or the optional DVI cable to the DVI-D port (DDC 
2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work properly if any other type of connection is 
attempted.
• Please use the standard drivers in your computer as this projector is a Plug-and-Play 
monitor.
• The 8915's DVI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content 
Protection) and therefore capable of displaying video from HDCP compatible DVD 
players, et al. However, if the HDCP standards are modified, the 8915's DVI might 
not be able to display video from HDCP compatible device developed in conformance to 
such modified HDCP standards.

WARNING  ►Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as 
directed. Improper use may result in battery explosion, cracking or leakage, 
which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.
• Be sure to use only the batteries specified. Do not use batteries of different 
types at the same time. Do not mix a new battery with used one. 
• 
Make sure the plus and minus terminals are correctly aligned when loading a battery.
• Keep a battery away from children and pets.
• Do not recharge, short circuit, solder or disassemble a battery.
• 
Do not allow a battery in a fire or water. Keep batteries in a dark, cool and dry place.
• If you observe a leakage of a battery, wipe out the flower and then replace a battery. 
If the flower adheres your body or clothes, rinse well with water immediately.
1. Remove the battery cover.  
Slide back and remove the battery cover in the direction of the arrow .
2. Insert the batteries. 
 Align and insert the two AA batteries according to their plus and minus

Using the remote control
CAUTION  ►Be careful in handling the remote control.
• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.
• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may 
result in malfunction.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if 
you won’t be using the remote control for an extended period. 
• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction. 
• When strong lights, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close 
range (such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hit the projector’s remote 
sensor, the remote control may cause to function. Adjust the direction of the 
projector to keep light from directly hitting the projector’s remote sensor.
The remote control works with the projector’s remote sensor.
• The range of the remote sensor is 3 meters with a 60- degree range (30 degrees 
to the left and right of the remote sensor).
• Also a remote signal reflected in the screen etc. may be available. If it is difficult 
to send a remote signal to the sensor directly, please try.
•  Since  the  remote  control  uses  infrared  light  to  send  signals  to  the  projector 
(Class1  LED),  be  sure  to  use  the  remote  control  in  an  area  free  from  obstacles 
that could block the remote control’s output signal to the projector.
•  You  can  use  the  remote  control  as  a  wired  remote  control,  by  connecting  the 
REMOTE CONTROLports of the main unit and remote control via an audio cable 
(3.5 dia. stereo mini cable with plugs).

2. Use the focus ring to focus the picture.
Adjusting screen with ONE-TOUCH
1. Press the ONE TOUCH button on the remote control. This 
activates the following functions at one time.
 Signal search: Projector will cycle through its input ports in 
order to find any input signal. The search is started from the 
current port. Then when an input is found, the projector will 
stop searching and display the image. If no signal is found, the projector will 
return to the state selected before the operation. 
RGB IN1  RGB IN2  DVI-D   COMPONENT VIDEO  S-VIDEO  VIDEO  
   
 Auto adjust: Projector automatically adjusts the picture position and size in 
RGB mode, and automatically selects the signal mode in VIDEO input (29).
 Automatic keystone distortion correction: Projector automatically corrects 
vertical keystone distortion due to the (forward/backward) setup angle by itself. 
This is only performed if ONE TOUCH of the OPTION menu is set to TURN ON 
(38).
Selecting an aspect ratio 
1. Press the ASPECT button on the remote control.   
Each time you press the button, the projector switches the mode for aspect 
ratio in turn.

NORMAL 
 4:3  16:9 
  
 At a video signal/no signal 
4:3  16:9  SMALL 
  
● The NORMAL mode keeps the original aspect ratio of the signal.
● At a HDTV signal of 1125i (1080i) or 750p (720p) of COMPONENT VIDEO 
input, only 16:9 mode can be selected.
● Performing the automatic adjustment initializes the aspect ratio setting.
