Remote Control Code
The  2  different  remote  control  codes  (Code  1–Code  2)  are 
assigned  to  this  projector.  Switching  the  remote  control 
codes  prevents  interference  from  other  remote  controls 
when  several  projectors  or  video  equipment  next  to  each 
other  are  operated  at  the  same  time.  Change  the  remote 
control  code  for  the  projector  first  before  changing  that  for 
the  remote  control.  See  "Remote  control"  in  the  Setting 
Menu on page 54.
Press  and  hold  the  MENU  and  IMAGE  buttons  for  more 
than  five  seconds  to  switch  between  the Code  1 and  Code

Installation
Connecting the AC Power Cord
This projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-240 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 center.
Connect  the  projector  with  all  peripheral  equipment  before 
turning the projector on.
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.
Connect  the AC  power  cord 
(supplied) to the projector.
  CAUTION
The AC  outlet  must  be  near  this  equipment  and  must  be 
easily accessible.
To the AC outlet.
(200 - 240 V AC)
NOTE ON THE POwER CORD
AC power cord must meet requirement of the country where you use the pro\
jector.
Confirm the AC plug type with the chart below and proper AC power cord must be used.
If supplied AC power cord does not match your AC outlet, contact your sales dealer.

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  55-56  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  77  of  this  manual  and  keep  it 
on  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  ON/STAND-BY  button  on  the  top  control  or 
on the remote control, and Power off? appears on the 
screen.
Press  the  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  56.) 
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. 
 Note:
	 •	When	the	Direct	 on	function	 is	set	 to	On,  the  projector 
will  be  turned  on  automatically  by  connecting  the  AC 
power cord to an AC outlet (p.51).
	 •	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 60.
	 •	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.
		•	For 	assisting 	the 	cooling 	fans' 	operation, 	the 	projector	
is  equipped  with  a  large  capacitor.  While  the  projector 
is  operating,  the  capacitor  charges  electricity.  When 
disconnecting  the  AC  plug  from  AC  outlet,  cooling  fans 
start to run 1 minute until the capacitor is discharged.
		•	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. 
DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR 
CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT REST. 
CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT IN 
SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE 
PROJECTOR AND LET IT STAND FOR ABOUT 
AN HOUR IN EVERY 24 HOURS.
Basic Operation
You  can  disconnect  the  power  cord  from  the 
wall  outlet  or  turn  off  the  breaker  even  during 
projection  without  pressing  the  ON/STAND-BY 
button.
Direct Off Function
 Note:
    When  using  the  Direct  OFF  function,  you 
can  not  restart  the  projector  immediately
