Info
•Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool-
ing fan operation. The cooling fan in this projector contin-
ues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector enters
the standby mode. This can cause damage due to rise in
internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the supplied power cord into the
AC socket.
Turning the Projector On
Before performing the steps in this section,
connect any equipment that you use with the
projector. (See  pages 19-27.)
Remove the lens cap and press  on
the projector or  
  on the remote control.
• The power indicator illuminates red.
• After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projec-
tor is ready to start operation.
Note
•The lamp indicator illuminates or blinks, in-
dicating the status of the lamp.
Green: The lamp is ready.
Blinking green: The lamp is warming up
or shutting down.
Red:
The lamp is shut down abnormally or
the lamp should be replaced.
•When switching on the projector, a slight flicker-
ing of the image may be experienced within the
first minute after the lamp has been illuminated.
This is normal operation as the lamp’s control
circuitry is stabilizing the lamp output charac-
teristics. This does not indicate malfunction.
• If the projector is put into standby mode and
immediately turned on again, the lamp may
take some time to illuminate.
Turning the Power Off (Put-
ting the Projector into Standby Mode)
1Press  on the projector or 
on the remote control, then press
that button again while the confir-
mation message is displayed, to
put the projector into standby
mode.

outlet after the cooling fan stops.

Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted
using the adjustment feet at the front and rear
of the projector when the screen is located
higher than the projector, the screen is inclined
or when the installation site is slightly inclined.
Install the projector so that it is as perpen-
dicular to the screen as possible.
1Lift the projector to adjust its
height while pressing the
HEIGHT ADJUST button.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 12 degrees (6 steps).
• When lowering the projector, it may be
difficult to move the front adjustment foot
because the installation surface is diffi-
cult to slide. In this case, pull the pro-
jector back slightly and adjust its height.
2Remove your hands from the
HEIGHT ADJUST button of the
projector after its height has
been finely adjusted.
3Finely adjust the height and in-
clination by turning the rear ad-
justment feet.
Note
•When adjusting the projected image position,
trapezoidal distortion occurs. In this case, see
“Keystone Correction” on page  32.
Info
•Do not press the HEIGHT ADJUST button
when the front adjustment foot comes out
without firmly holding the projector.
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.
• When lowering the projector, be careful not
to get your fingers caught in the area be-
tween the adjustment foot and the projector.
