4Remove the lamp unit.
•Loosen the two securing screws from
the lamp unit. Hold the lamp unit by the
handle and pull it in the direction of the
arrow. At this time, keep the lamp unit
horizontal and do not tilt it.
5Insert the new lamp unit.
•Press the lamp unit firmly into the lamp
unit compartment. Fasten the securing
screws.
6Replace the lamp unit cover.
•Align the lamp unit cover and slide it to
close. Then tighten the user service
screw to secure the lamp unit cover.
Info
•If the lamp unit and lamp unit cover are not
correctly installed, the power will not turn
on, even if the power cord is connected to
the projector.
Resetting the Lamp Timer
Reset the lamp timer after replacing the lamp.
Info
•Make sure to reset the lamp timer only
when replacing the lamp. If you reset the
lamp timer and continue to use the same
lamp, this may cause the lamp to become
damaged or explode.
1Connect the power cord.
•Plug the power cord into the AC socket
of the projector.
2Reset the lamp timer.
•Press , , , 
\ \\ \
\,  and 
| || |
| on the
projector in order, and then press 
on the projector.
•“LAMP 0000H” is displayed on the lower

PC control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type,
commercially available) to the projector. (See page 27 for connection.)
Communication conditions
Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data length: 8 bits
Parity bit: None
Stop bit: 1 bit
Flow control: None
Basic format
Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After
the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.
Info
•When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the
previous command from the projector is verified.
•When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector’s operating status cannot be read by
the computer.
Commands
Example:
•When power on.

•This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers\
 in simultaneous (CRT/LCD)
mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data
in “CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in y\
our notebook computer’s
owner’s manual.

Troubleshooting
Check
• Projector power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
•Power to the external connected devices is off.
•The selected input mode is wrong.
•Cables are incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
•External output has not been set when connecting notebook computer.
•“Contrast” and “Bright” are set to minimum position.
•Image adjustments are incorrectly set.
(Video Input only)
• Video input system is incorrectly set.
(INPUT 5)
• Input signal type (RGB/Component) is incorrectly set.
•“OSD Display” is set to “ (OFF)”.
• Adjust the focus.
•The projection distance exceeds the focus range.
(Computer Input only)
• Perform “Fine Sync” Adjustments. (“Clock” Adjustment)
• Perform “Fine Sync” Adjustments. (“Phase” Adjustment)
• Noise may appear depending on the computer.
•If the picture is normal, the sound is due to cabinet shrinkage
caused by room temperature changes. This will not affect
operation or performance.
• See “Maintenance Indicators”.
•When temperature inside the projector increases, the cooling
fan runs faster.
• The lamp will eventually need to be changed.
The lamp has reached the end of its life. Replace the lamp.
•Change the input signal type.
Problem
On-screen display does
not appear.
An unusual sound is
occasionally heard
from the cabinet.
Maintenance
indicator illuminates or
blinks in red.
The cooling fan
becomes noisy.
The lamp takes a long
time to turn on.
Picture is dark.
Image is green on
INPUT 5 Component.
Image is pink (no green) on INPUT 5 RGB.

Glossary
Aspect Ratio
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal
aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3.
There are also wide images with an aspect ratio
of 16:9 and 21:9.
Auto Sync
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-
matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is
being output.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise
when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature)
Function that can be used to adjust the color tem-
perature to suit the type of image input to the pro-
jector. Decrease the color temperature to create
warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones,
or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a
brighter picture.
Composite sync
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync
pulses.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Display digital interface that also supports analog
interfaces.
Intelligent compression and expansion
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-
tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Keystone Correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when
the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out
jaggies on keystone images and compresses the
image not only horizontally but vertically keeping
the 16 : 9 aspect ratio.
Phase
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic
signals with the same resolution. When phase level
is incorrect, the projected image typically displays
horizontal flicker.
Resize
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-
play mode to enhance the input image. You can se-
lect from four different modes: STRETCH, SIDE
BAR, SMART STRETCH and CINEMA ZOOM.
RS-232C
Function to control the projector from the com-
puter by using the RS-232C ports on the projec-
tor and computer.
Stretch
Projects the 16:9 image or the squeezed image (*1)
fully in a 16:9 screen.
*1... 16:9 image that is squeezed horizontally into4:3 image
Gamma
Image quality enhancement function that offers a
richer image by brightening the darker portions
of the image without altering the brightness of the
brighter portions. You can select from four differ-
ent modes: Standard, Cinema 1, Cinema 2 and
Cinema 3.
