Installation
Connecting the AC Power Cord
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100–120 V or
200–240 V AC and it automatically selects the correct input
voltage. It is designed to work with single-phase power
systems having a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the
risk of electrical shock, do not plug into any other type of
power system.
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied,
consult your authorized dealer or service station.
Connect the projector with all peripheral equipment before
turning the projector on.
CAUTION
For safety, unplug the AC power cord when the projector
is not in use. When the projector is connected to an outlet
with the AC power cord, it is in stand-by mode and
consumes a little electric power.
Connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the
projector.
The AC outlet must be near this equipment
and must be easily accessible.
NOTE ON THE POWER CORD
AC power cord must meet the requirements of the country where you use th\
e projector.
Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord m\
ust be used.
If supplied the AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact you\
r sales dealer.

4After the countdown, the input source that was
selected the last time and the lamp control status icon
(see page 46) appear on the screen.
If the projector is locked with a PIN code, PIN code
input dialog box will appear. Enter the PIN code as
instructed below.
Complete peripheral connections (with a computer,
VCR, etc.) before turning on the projector.  
What is PIN code?
PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code
that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector.
Setting a PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the
projector.
A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN
code lock function in the Setting Menu on page 48 for locking
operation of the projector with your PIN code.
Enter a PIN code
Use the Point edbuttons to enter a number. Press the Point
8button to fix the number and move the red frame pointer to
the next box. The number changes to “ ✳.” If you fixed an
incorrect number, use the Point 
7button to move the pointer
to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct
number.
Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number.
After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to
“Set.” Press the SELECT button so that you can start to
operate the projector.
If you entered an incorrect PIN code, “PIN code” and the
number ( ✳✳✳✳) will turn red for a moment. Enter the correct
PIN code all over again.
CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE
If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no
longer be started. Take a special care in setting a
new PIN code; write down the number in a
column on page 65 of this manual and keep it at
hand. Should the PIN code be missing or
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
Selected Input Source and Lamp Control
After the OK icon disappears,
you can operate the projector.  
PIN Code Input Dialog Box
✔Notes:
•W hen the Logo select function is set to “Off,”
the logo will not be shown on the screen (p.43).
• When the “Countdown off” or “Off” is selected
in the Display function, the countdown will not
be shown on the screen (p.42).
•D uring the countdown period, all operations are
invalid.
• If the correct PIN code number is not entered
within three minutes after the PIN code dialog
box appeared, the projector will be turned off
automatically.
• The “1234” is set as the initial PIN code at the
factory.
• When the Input Search function is set to “On2”,
the input signal will be searched automatically
(p.45)

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE
YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT
LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
Turning Off the Projector
Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the top control or on

3When the projector has cooled down enough, the
POWER indicator stops blinking and you can turn on
the projector. After it is cooled down completely,
unplug the AC power cord.
✔Notes:
• When the On start function is set to “On,” the projector will be
turned on automatically by connecting the AC power cord to an AC
outlet (p.46).
• DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR CONTINUOUSLY
WITHOUT REST. CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN
SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE PROJECTOR
AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.
• The running speed of cooling fans is changed according to the
temperature inside the projector.
• Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is cooled
enough.
• If the WARNING indicator blinks or lights red, see “Warning
Indicator” on page 51.
• While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being cooled
down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait until the
POWER indicator stops blinking to turn on the projector again.
•The fan rotation will terminate directly if the AC power cord is unplugged immediately after the projector is turned off.
•The projector can be turned on after the POWER indicator turns red. The waiting time to restart will be shortened when the normal
power-off processing for fan cooling is completed, compared with
the time the AC power cord is immediately unplugged after the
power-off.
