Filters  prevents  dust  from  accumulating  on  the  optical  elements  inside  the  projector.  Should  the  filters  become 
clogged  with  dust  particles,  it  will  reduce  cooling  fans’  effectiveness  and  may  result  in  internal  heat  buildup 
and  adversely  affect  the  life  of  the  projector.  If  a  “Filter  warning”  icon  appears  on  the  screen,  clean  the  filters  
immediately. Clean the filter by following the steps below.
Gently  clean  the  filters  by  using  a  brush  or  rinse  them 
softly.3
When  rinsing  the  filters,  dry  them  well.  Replace  the 
filters  properly.  Make  sure  that  the  filters  are  fully 
inserted to the projector.

                        (Service Parts No. 610 333 9740)
For  continued  safety,  replace  with  a  lamp  of  the 
same  type.  Do  not  drop  a  lamp  or  touch  a  glass 
bulb! The glass can shatter and may cause injury.

Maintenance and Cleaning
This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully\
 and properly.  
Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
● Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee 
of  the  same  life  for  each  lamp.  Some  lamps  may  fail  or  terminate  their  life  in  a  shorter  period  of  time 
than other similar lamps.
●  If  the  projector  indicates  that  the  lamp  should  be  replaced,  i.e.,  if  the  LAMP  REPLACE  indicator  lights 
up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down.  
    (Follow  carefully  the  instructions  in  the  Lamp  Replacement  section  of  this  manual.)  Continuous  use  of 
the lamp with the LAMP REPLACE indicator lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.  
●  A  Lamp  may  explode  as  a  result  of  vibration,  shock  or  degradation  as  a  result  of  hours  of  use  as  its 
lifetime  draws  to  an  end.  Risk  of  explosion  may  differ  according  to  the  environment  or  conditions  in 
which the projector and lamp are being used.
IF A LAMP EXPLODES, THE FOLLOwING SAFETy  PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN .
If  a  lamp  explodes,  disconnect  the  projector ’s  AC  plug  from  the  AC  outlet  immediately.  Contact  an 
authorized  service  station  for  a  checkup  of  the  unit  and  replacement  of  the  lamp.  Additionally,  check 
carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out 
from  the  cooling  air  circulation  holes.  Any  broken  shards  found  should  be  cleaned  up  carefully.  No  one 
should  check  the  inside  of  the  projector  except  those  who  are  authorized  trained  technicians  and  who 
are  familiar  with  projector  service.  Inappropriate  attempts  to  service  the  unit  by  anyone,  especially  those 
who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken 
glass.

Appendix 
Troubleshooting
Before calling your dealer or service center for assistance, check the i\
tems below once again.
– Make sure you have properly connected the projector to peripheral equipm\
ent as described on pages 16-18. 
–  Make sure all equipment is connected to AC outlet and the power is turned on.
–  When the projector does not project an image from the connected computer\
, restart the computer.

Appendix
 No image  – Check the connection between your computer or video equipment  
     and the projector. (See pages 16-18)
 
    – See if the input signal is correctly output from your computer. Some  
     laptop computers may need to change the setting for monitor output  
       when connecting to a projector. See your computer’s instruction  
     manual for the setting. 
 
    – It takes about 30 seconds to display an image after turning on the  
     projector. (See page 19)
    –  Check the Input signal, color system, video system or computer 
system mode.
    – Make sure the temperature is not out of the specified Operating  
     Temperature (
41˚F–95˚F [5˚C–35˚C]).
    – When "No Show" is operating, the image cannot be displayed. Press  
     the NO SHOW button or any other button on the remote control.
 No sound   – Check the audio cable connection from audio input source. 
    – Adjust the audio source.
 
    – Press the Volume + button. (See page 24)
 
    – Press the Mute button. (See page 24)                                  \
                
                                            – When the AUDIO OUT is plugged-in, the projector's built-in speaker  
     is not available             
    – Is the image projected? You will hear the sound only when the image       
                                                                     is pr\
ojected.
The color is strange .
