Caution regarding usage of the projector
■When using the projector, be sure not to sub-
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
can result in damage. Take extra care with the
lens. If you are not to use the projector for a
long time, be sure to unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other
cables connected to it.
■Do not use the projector by holding the lens.
■
When you are not to use the projector for a long
time, or storing the projector, re-attach the lens
cap to the projector (See page 9.).
■Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
or place it near heat sources. Doing so may
affect the cabinet color or cause deformation
of the plastic cover.
Other connected equipment
■When connecting a computer or other audio-
visual equipment to the projector, make the
connections AFTER unplugging the power
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
turning off the equipment to be connected.
■Please read the owner’s manuals of the pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.
Using the projector in other countries
■The power supply voltage and the shape of
the plug may vary depending on the region
or country you are using the projector in.
When using the projector overseas, ensure
to use an appropriate power cord for the
country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■If the projector starts to over-
heat due to setup problems
or blockage of the air vents,
“
” and “” will illumi-
nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the
temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn
off, the temperature warning indicator on the
projector will blink, and after a 90-second cool-
ing-off period the projector will enter the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
page 54 for details.
Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automati-
cally controlled. The sound of the fan may
change during projector operation due to
changes in the fan speed. This does not
indicate malfunction.
•Do not unplug the power cord during pro-
jection or cooling fan operation. This can
cause damage due to rise in internal tem-
perature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Using the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
1Pull down the tab on the cover
and remove the cover towards
the direction of the arrow.
2Insert the included batteries
(two “AA” size).
•Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the 
 and 
marks inside the battery compartment.
3Insert the lower tab of the cover
into the opening, and lower the
cover until it clicks in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please\
 follow the precautions below.
 Caution
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compartment.
• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to\
 leak.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as \
leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure\
 that you first wipe them and then remove them using a
cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short perio\
d, depending on how they are kept.
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control the
projector within the ranges shown in the
illustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:
•Ensure that you do not drop the remote control
or expose it to moisture or high temperature.
• The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.

Setting Up the Projector
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen to achieve an optimal image.
Note
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling
directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights
when setting up the projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
■Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See
page 17.)
