the Extended menu, the 
projector can still be 
monitored even if the 
projector is in standby mode 
(when the power is off).

							94Using the Projector on a Network
Using a Browser to Control the Projector
You can use a standard web browser to monitor and control the 
projector through the network. Because you can use your computer’s 
keyboard, you may find it easier to make network settings using your 
browser than using the projector’s remote control.
1. Make sure the projector is set up for your network, as described 
on page 76. (Standby Mode in the Extended menu should be set 
to 
Communication On to monitor the projector in standby 
mode.) When using a browser to access the projector, you cannot 
connect through a proxy server.
2. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the projector 
you want to monitor in the browser window. 
If you’re not sure what the address of the projector is, turn the 
projector on and select 
Net. Info.-Wired LAN or Net. 
Info.-Wireless LAN
 from the Network menu to display the IP 
address of the projector. Do not enter leading zeroes.
3. Press 
Enter, or, if you set a Web control password in the 
projector’s Network menu, enter your user name and password, 
then press 
Enter. You see a screen like the following: 
						

							Using the Projector on a Network95
4. Select one of the menu options listed on the screen, then change 
any of the settings as needed. These settings correspond to those 
found in the projector’s menu system.
You cannot change the following settings using a web browser:
■Pointer Shape, Pattern, or User Button in the Settings 
menu
■User’s Logo, High Altitude Mode, and Language in the 
Extended menu
■Reset All and Reset Lamp Hours in the Reset menu
■Password protection
Using Web Remote Control
When you access the projector through your browser, you can display 
a “virtual remote control” on your computer screen. This lets you 
change sources and perform many of the same functions as you can 
with the physical remote control.
From the Projector Control menu, select 
Web Remote. You see the 
following screen:
■The Power button turns the projector on and off.
■The Search button searches for signal sources (see page 28).

Maintaining the Projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. All you have to do on a 
regular basis is clean the lens, and check that the air filter and vents are 
clean. A clogged air filter or vent can block ventilation needed to cool 
the projector.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any 
other part needs replacing, contact your dealer or a qualified servicer.
This chapter covers the following:
■Cleaning the projection window
■Cleaning the projector case
■Cleaning the air filter
■Replacing the air filter
■Replacing the lamp
■Replacing the remote control batteries
■Transporting the projector
warning
Before you clean any part of 
the projector, turn it off and 
unplug the power cord. 
Never open any cover on the 
projector, except the lamp 
cover. Dangerous electrical 
voltages in the projector can 
injure you severely. Do not 
try to service this product 
yourself, except as specifically 
explained in this User’s 
Guide. Refer all other 
servicing to qualified service 
personnel. 
						

							98Maintaining the Projector
Cleaning the Projection Window
Clean the projection window whenever you notice dirt or dust on the 
surface.
To remove dirt or smears on the window, use a commercially available 
cloth for cleaning glasses.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Before cleaning, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
■To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free 
cloth.
■To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water 
and a neutral detergent and firmly wring the cloth dry. Then wipe 
the case.
caution
Do not rub the projection 
window with harsh 
materials or subject it to 
shocks, or you may damage 
the window.
Do not use wax, alcohol, 
benzene, paint thinner, or 
other chemical detergents. 
These can damage the case. 
						

							Maintaining the Projector99
Cleaning the Air Filter 
Your projector includes an air filter to ensure the best performance 
and help protect your equipment investment. If dust collects on the 
air filter, clean it as described here. Dust clogs prevent proper 
ventilation and can cause overheating, which can damage the 
projector.
1. Turn off the projector.
2. Remove dust from the air filter using a small vacuum cleaner 
designed for computer or office equipment, or gently clean the 
vent with a soft brush (such as an artist’s paintbrush).
You can remove the air filter to clean both sides.
If the filter is too dirty or broken, replace the filter as described below. 
Replacing the Air Filter
You need to replace the air filter if:
■You cannot remove the dust from it
■The air filter is damaged or torn
■You repeatedly see a projected message telling you to clean or 
replace it
note
To order replacement air 
filters, request part number 
V13H134A27. See page 19 
for ordering information.
