Projecting
This section provides explanations on starting and ending projection, and on the basic functions for adjusting projected images.




 
Projection
Images can be projected after all connections have been completed.
Preparations
1Connect the projector to a computer and video equipment. (see page 25, 32)
2Rotate the zoom lever to the central position to extend the lens.
Images will be out of focus when projected if the zoom lever is not moved to the central 
position.
3Remove the Lens Cover.
Wa r n i n g
·Never look directly into the lens once the power supply has been switched on. Failure to 
observe this may result in the powerful light damaging eyesight.
·Ensure that the Power Cord supplied is used. The use of cables other than the one supplied 
may result in the outbreak of fire or electric shocks.
Caution
Do not perform any projection tasks with the Lens Cover attached. Failure to observe this 
may result in the cover becoming malformed due to heat.
