Positioning the Projector
For  projector  positioning,  see  the  figures  below. The  projector  should  be  set  perpendicularly  to  the  plane  of  the 
screen.
Notes:
  • The  brightness  in  the  room  has  a  great  influence  on  picture  quality.  It  is  recommended  to  limit  ambient 
lighting in order to obtain the best image.
  • All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.

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
The AC  outlet  must  be  near  this  equipment  and  must  be 
easily accessible.
Note: 
Unplug  the  AC  power  cord  when  the  projector  is  not  in 
use.    When  this  projector  is  connected  to  an  outlet  with 
the AC  power  cord,  it  is  in  Stand-by  mode  and  consumes 
a little electric power.

Turning On the Projector
Connect  the  projector ’s  AC  power  cord  into  an  AC 
outlet. The POWER indicator lights red. Open the slide 
shutter (see pages 9,56).
Press  the  ON/STAND-BY  button  on  the  top  control 
or    on  the  remote  control.  The  POWER  indicator

4After the countdown, the input source that was selected 
the last time and the lamp control status icon (see page 
49) 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  pages  50–51  for 
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.
Enter a PIN code
Use  the  Point ▲▼  buttons  to  enter  a  number.  Press  the 
Point ►  button  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 ◄  button  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  70  of  this  manual  and  keep  it 
at  hand.  Should  the  PIN code  be  missing  or 
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

After the OK icon disappears, 
you can operate the projector.

TO  MAINTAIN  THE  LIFE  OF  THE  LAMP,  ONCE  YOU 
TURN  THE  PROJECTOR  ON,  WAIT  AT  LEAST  FIVE 
MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
“Power off?” disappears after 4 seconds.
Turning Off the Projector
Press  the  POWER  ON/STAND-BY  button  on  the  top 
control  or  on  the  remote  control,  and  “Power  off?” 
appears on the screen.
Press the POWER ON/STAND-BY button again to turn 
off  the  projector.  The  POWER  indicator  starts  to  blink 
red, and the cooling fans keep running. (You can select 
the  level  of  fans’  quietness  and  speed.  See  “Fan”  on 
page  52.)  At  this  time,  you  can  unplug  the  AC  power 
cord even if the fans are still running.

3When  the  projector  has  cooled  down  enough,  the 
POWER  indicator  stops  blinking  and  you  can  turn  on 
the projector. 
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.48).
  • 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 54.
  • 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. 
Basic Operation
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.
