For Continental EuropeFor the U  .S .A .  and Canada
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.

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	60 for 
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.
After the OK icon disappears, 
you can operate the projector.

TO MAINTAIN LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU 
TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST FIVE 
MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD WHILE 
THE COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE 
THE POWER INDICATOR STOPS BLINKING. 
OTHERWISE IT WILL RESULT IN SHORTENING 
THE LAMP LIFE.
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.
“Power off?” disappears after 4 seconds.
✔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.57).
	 •	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	 TEMP.	indicator	blinks	or	emits	red	light,	
see	 “Warning	Indicators”	on	page	69.
	 •	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.
Turning Off the Projector
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.
Basic Operation
Press the ON/STAND-BY button or the STAND-BY 
button on the remote control again to turn off the
