Adjusting the projector’s elevator
When the place to put the projector is slightly uneven to 
the left or right, use the elevator feet to place the projector 
horizontally. Using the feet can also tilt the projector 
in order to project at a suitable angle to the screen, 
elevating the front side of the projector within 9 degrees.
This projector has 2 elevator feet and 2 elevator buttons. 
An elevator foot is adjustable while pushing the elevator 
button on the same side as it.
1. 
Holding the projector, push the elevator buttons to 
loose the elevator feet.
2. 
Position the front side of the projector to the desired 
height.
3. 
Release the elevator buttons in order to lock the 
elevator feet.
4. 
After making sure that the elevator feet are locked, 
put the projector down gently.
5. 
If necessary, the elevator feet can be manually   twisted to make more precise adjustments. Hold the 
projector when twisting the feet.
Adjusting the lens position
Shifting the lens position shifts the projection 
position.
After pressing the LENS SHIFT button on the 
control panel or the remote control, use the 
cursor buttons to shift the lens position.
CAUTION  ►Do not put your fi ngers or any other 
things around the lens. The moving lens could catch 
them in the space around the lens and result in an injury.
NOTE  •  The projector may ignore operation by buttons while moving the lens.
• Generally, better image quality can be got when the lens is set to the center.

malfunction or shortening the lifetime of consumables, or the projector \
itself.  
It is possible to install the projector for any direction with specifi  ed mounting 
accessories. Consult with your dealer about such a special installation.\

Replacing the lamp
A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long periods of time could cause 
the pictures darker or the color tone poor. Note that each lamp has a different 
lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them\
. 
Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are recommended. To prepare 
a new lamp, make contact with your dealer and tell the lamp type number.
Type number : 
1. Turn the projector off, and unplug the power cord. Allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.
2. Prepare a new lamp. If the projector is mounted with specified mounting accessories, or if the lamp 
has broken, also ask the dealer to replace the lamp.
In case of replacement by yourself, follow the following 
procedure.
3. Loosen the screw (marked by arrow) of the lamp cover and then slide down and lift the lamp cover to remove it.
4. Loosen the 3 screws (marked by arrow) of the lamp, and slowly pull the lamp out by the handles. 
Never loosen any other screws.
5. Insert the new lamp, and retighten firmly the 
3 screws of the lamp that are loosened in 
the previous process to lock it in place.
6. While putting the interlocking parts of the lamp  cover and the projector together, slide the lamp 
cover back in place. Then firmly fasten the screw 
of the lamp cover.
7. Turn the projector on and reset the lamp time 
using the LAMP TIME item in the OPTION menu. 
(1) Press the MENU button to display a menu. 
(2) Point at the ADVANCED MENU in the menu using the ▼/▲  button, then press the ► button.
(3) Point at the OPTION in the left column of the menu using  the ▼/▲button, then press the ► button.
(4) Point at the LAMP TIME using the ▼/▲ button, then press  the ► button. A dialog will appear.
(5) 
Press the ► button to select “OK” on the dialog. It performs resetting the lamp time.

 HIGH VOLTAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH PRESSURE
WARNING  ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The 
lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, ha\
ndled 
while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and 
some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition,\
 if the 
bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and 
for gas containing mercury and dust containing fine particles of glass to escape 
from the projector’s vent holes.
►About disposal of a lamp:  This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put 
it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws. 
• 
 For lamp recycling, go to  www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).
• 
 For product disposal, consult your local government agency   
or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, ask your dealer.
•  If  the  lamp  should  break  (it  will  make  a  loud  bang  when  it  does), 
unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a 
replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass 
could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, 
so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself\
.
•  If  the  lamp  should  break  (it  will  make  a  loud  bang  when  it  does), 
ventilate the room well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or fine 
particles that come out from the projector's vent holes, and not to get 
them into your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power 
cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently. 
Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lam\
p.
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.
•  Do  not  open  the  lamp  cover  while  the  projector  is  suspended  from 
a ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the 
shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in 
high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp 
replaced even if the bulb is not broken.
•  Do  not  use  the  projector  with  the  lamp  cover  removed. At  the  lamp 
replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose 
screws could result in damage or injury.
•  Use only the lamp of the specified type. Use of a lamp that does not 
meet  the  lamp  specifications  for  this  model  could  cause  a  fire,  damage  or 
shorten the life of this product.
•  If  the  lamp  breaks  soon  after  the  first  time  it  is  used,  it  is  possible 
that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this 
happens, consult your local dealer or a service representative.
• 
Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to bur\
st during use.
• Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light 
up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone 
is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old 
(used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

the plug 
from the  power outlet
