input dialog box will appear. Enter the PIN code as
instructed below.
Complete peripheral connections (with a computer,

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 52–53 for
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.
Enter a PIN code
Use the Point edbuttons to enter a number. Press the Point
8button 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 
7button 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 72 of this manual and keep it at
hand. Should the PIN code be missing or
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
