    Controlling the Projector by a Computer
    When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub RS-232C adaptor
    and an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commercially available), the computer can be used to control
    the projector and check the status of the projector. Refer to the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied
    CD-ROM for details.
    When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable and a DIN-D-sub RS-232C adaptor
    Note
    •The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the
    operation manual of the computer for details.
    •Refer to page 4 of the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for “RS-232C Specifica-
    tions and Commands”.
    Info
    •Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This may
    damage your computer or projector.
    •Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This
    may damage your computer.
    When connecting to the LAN terminal using a LAN cable
    Note
    •When connecting to hub, use straight-through Category 5 (CAT.5) type cable (commercially available).
    •When connecting to computer, use cross-over Category 5 (CAT.5) type cable (commercially available).

    Connecting to a Monitor with RGB Input Terminal
    You can display computer images on both the projector and a separate monitor using two sets of RGB cables.
    Note
    •RGB signals and Component signals can be output to the monitor.
    •For this connection, another RGB cable (commercially available) is required.
    Connecting to an Amplifier or Other Audio Equipment
    Audio signals input from equipment connected to each audio input terminal of the projector can be output to audio equipment.
    Note
    •ø3.5 mm minijack to RCA audio cable (commercially available) is required for audio input.
    •Turn off the power of both the projector and audio equipment when connecting.
    •When turning off the power in the case of connecting an amplifier or other audio equipment, first turn off
    the power of the amplifier and then turn off the power of the projector.
    •By using external audio components, the volume can be amplified for better sound.
    •For details on Variable Audio Output (VAO) and Fixed Audio Output (FAO), see page 58.

    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.
    Power cordSupplied
    accessory
    Connecting the Power Cord
    Plug the supplied power cord into the
    AC socket on the rear of the projector.
    Turning the Projector on
    Before performing the steps in this section,
    connect any equipment that you use with the
    projector. (See pages 23-28.)
    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.
    •When System Lock is set, the keycode input
    screen appears. Enter the right keycode to
    start projection. See page 54 for details.
    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 abnor-
    mally 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 lamps 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 (Putting
    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.
    2Unplug the power cord from the AC
    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.
    1Press the HEIGHT ADJUST button.
    •The front adjustment foot comes out.
    2Lift 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.
    3Remove your hand from the
    HEIGHT ADJUST button of the
    projector after its height has
    been finely adjusted.
    4Finely adjust the height and in-
    clination by turning the rear ad-
    justment feet.
    •When adjusting the height of the pro-
    jector, trapezoidal distortion occurs.
    When “Auto Keystone” of the “Options2”
    menu is set to “
    ” (ON) (see page 57),
    keystone correction functions automati-
    cally to correct trapezoidal distortion.
    When you want to adjust the automati-
    cally corrected image, use the manual
    keystone correction.  (See page 31.)
    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.

    degrees and the screen can also be set up
    to an angle of approximately ±35 degrees
    (when the resize mode is set to “NORMAL”
    (see page 36)).
    The screen can also be installed by inclin-
    ing to that angle.
    •The Keystone Correction cannot be ad-
    justed in the lateral direction.
    •You can use the same settings used in
    NORMAL mode 4:3 for 16:9.
    Correcting Trapezoidal
    Distortion
    Auto Keystone Correction
    When the image is projected either from the top
    or from the bottom towards the screen at an
    angle, the image becomes distorted trapezoidally.
    The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion
    is called Keystone Correction.
    This projector is equipped with an “Auto Keystone
    Correction” function that automatically corrects
    any trapezoidal distortion within the projected im-
    age. The correction is made automatically provided
    the vertical incline or decline is within 12 degrees.
    Note
    •When not using the Auto Keystone Correc-
    tion function, set “Auto Keystone” on the
    “Options2” menu to “
    ” (OFF).
    Manual Keystone Correction
    When you want to make fine adjustments after the
    Auto Keystone Correction function has been activated,
    or when you want to make corrections without using
    the Auto Keystone Correction function, you can make
    corrections manually using the following procedure.
    1Press  on the remote control to
    enter the Keystone Correction mode.
    •You can also use  on the
    projector.
    2Press ', | or ", \ on the re-
    mote control to adjust the Key-
    stone Correction.

    Adjusting the Focus
    This projector is equipped with an “Auto Focus”
    function that adjusts the focus automatically
    when it is turned on. When you want to readjust
    the focus after the Auto Focus function has been
    activated, you can operate the Auto Focus func-
    tion using the following procedure.
    Press  on the projector or 
    on the remote control.
    •The focus is adjusted automatically after the
    focus pattern is displayed, and the focus pat-
    tern disappears from the screen.
    Note
    •Auto Focus can be performed over a range
    of 40 to 100 inches.
    •The ability to adjust the focus automatically
    depends on the screen conditions and the
    surrounding brightness.
    •Adjust the focus manually when the focus
    is not adjusted with Auto Focus or when you
    want to make fine adjustments.
    •When not using the Auto Focus function,
    set “Auto Focus” on the “Options2” menu to
    “
    ” (OFF).
