This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-10 V 
or 00-40 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.  (See  pages  15-17  for 
connection.)

               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. 
   CAUTION
