Installing the Projector
Setting the Position Selecting Screw for Ceiling Mounting
When using the projector in an upside-down, ceiling-mounted position (inverted top-to-bottom and right-to-left), the “position 
selecting screw for ceiling mounting” must be turned to switch to ceiling mounting.
This will correct variance in color images (shading), which otherwise would occur in ceiling mounting.
To revert to normal desktop setting, turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” back to the initial position (factory-
shipped).
When using the projector in an upside-down, ceiling-mounted position:
Turn the  “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” fully counterclockwise (until it is turning idly).
To again use the projector in a normal desktop setting:
Turn the  “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting” fully clockwise (until it firmly tightens).
For normal desktop mounting:
Turn the screw clockwise.
For upside-down, ceiling-mounting:
Turn the screw counterclockwise.
•To ceiling-mount and adjust the projector, special expertise and technique are 
necessary. Be sure to ask your dealer or a specialist to perform this work.
•To turn the “position selecting screw for ceiling mounting”, use a Phillips 
screwdriver with a 30-mm or longer shank.
The screw is located in the hole shown in the illustration.
Note
•When using the projector in a ceiling-mounted position, you should reverse the projected image by changing the settings of 
Right Left rev. and Top Bottom inv. menus. For details, refer to page 54. You can also change these settings without 
receiving a video signal. In this case, refer to “Menu Transition Diagram in No signal Menu Mode” on page 38.
When installing (adjusting/setting) the unit
•When using “Top Bottom inv.” on the “Options” menu, reset the unit by following the procedure below.
•This reset procedure must be performed before operating the unit.
1. Change the “Top Bottom inv.” Setting on the “Options” menu.
2. Press the OPERATE button to enter the unit into the stand-by mode.
3. Press the OPERATE button again to turn on the unit.
•Adjust the focus after projecting a picture for 30 minutes or longer.

Connecting to Various Devices
Before connection, be sure to turn off the projector and connected devices.
Read the manual which comes with each device thoroughly.
Signals that Can Be Input to the Projector
The following signals can be input to the projector:
■Video signals
(1) Response to color systems
*1:Responds if Y/C output is available.
*2:Signifies that component signals (“Y, P
B, PR” / “Y, B-Y, R-Y” / “G, B, R, H/CS, V”) conform to the signal timing 
(synchronization and video period) of each color system. The color systems are used for convenience only.
(2) Response to double density (*3), high-vision signals
*3:Signals whose density of scanning lines/field is twice as high.
*4:Responds to signals whose horizontal scanning frequency is 31.5 kHz. NTSC can be made twice as dense by a line 
doubler (separately available: recommended article). Also, possible to respond to fully-specified, decoded 
wide-clear-vision signal and decoded 525P progressive signal.
*5:Responds to signals whose horizontal scanning frequency is 33.5 kHz. PAL can be made twice as dense by a line doubler 
(separately available: recommended article). 
(3) Response to DTV-format signals
DTV-format signals (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i) can be input to the Y, P
B/B-Y, PR/R-Y, G, B, R, H/CS, V input terminal.
■Computer signals
Signals with the following scanning frequencies can be input to the PC 1 or PC 2 (G, B, R, H/CS, V) and DVI terminals.
Be sure that the computer to be used suffices the following conditions:
•The computer has the video signal output port.
Be sure that the computer has the video signal output port by reading the instruction book of the computer.
The video signal output port is generally called as “RGB port”, “monitor port”, or “video port”. If the computer-monitor hybrid 
type or note type is used, it may need to prepare for an external output port. Also, there will be the type to which an external
output port cannot be installed.
•DVI input
During DVI input, depending on the computer settings, there may be no signal input or an error may occur (blue screen).
If this happens, turn off the power to both the projector and the computer, and then turn the projector back on before turning 
the computer on again. Then correctly set the computer's graphic board.
•The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page 23.
Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range. A video signal out of range 
cannot be used. (Even signals out of the range could be projected. However, it may not sharp enough. On the other hand, 
even some of the signals within the range may require adjustment depending on the video board used.)
When a signal other than listed in the table on page 23 is input, the image could be partially erased or an unneeded fold-over 
image could appear.
Even signals in the frequency range that can be input may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal.
Composite sync (C

Basic Operations
■Lamp control settings
After turning the power on, first perform the lamp control settings on the setting menu referring to “Setting and Adjusting Other 
Functions (OPTIONS)” on page 54.
There are 3 modes in the lamp control settings.
1: NORMAL MODE (Normal)
Used as a normal lamp.
The projector is set to “Normal” mode at the time of purchase.
*“Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 1000 hours.
2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC)
Automatically controls the power used by the lamp and increases it in steps. When this mode is used, the brightness 
starts at approximately 70%. The decrease in brightness is slower than in “Normal” mode and this mode is best suited 
when using the projector continuously for long periods of time.
*“Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 2000 hours.
3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC)
The brightness can be set in seven levels (-6 to 0). Since the brightness can be set in steps, this is the mode best suited 
for adjusting multiple screens. This setting can also be changed while the projector is being used. To change the setting, 
choose LOC with the 5/∞ cursors and choose the level with the 2/3 cursors.
*“Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 2000 hours.
The lamp replacement time is different for the 3 modes.
1: NORMAL MODE (Normal) ... 1000 hours
2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) ... 2000 hours
3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) ... 2000 hours
*These lamp replacement times are only a rough guide as to how long the lamp will last if these modes are used from the 
beginning. These are not guaranteed service lives.
Notes
•Although the LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) and LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) electrically control 
the brightness of the lamp and extend the replacement time longer than that for the NORMAL MODE, the service life of the 
lamp is approximately 1000 hours.
•The lamp will gradually become less bright in each mode. 
Since the lamp may become less bright quickly in some usage environments, replace the lamp if you notice that it is no 
longer bright even if the lamp has not yet reached the end of its life.
•Mode settings
*If the projector is not put in stand-by mode or turned off after the lamp has been used continuously in the normal mode for 
more than 1000 hours (but less than 2010 hours), it can be used for “up to 2010 hours”.
However, if the projector is put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can not be turned back on again.
*If the projector is put in stand-by mode or turned off after the lamp has been used in the light output control mode or light 
power control mode for more than 2000 hours (but less than 2010 hours), it can not be turned back on again.
However, if the projector is not put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can be used for “up to 2010 hours”.
*If the projector is used in the light output control mode or light power control mode for more than 1000 hours, and then 
switched to the normal mode, put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can not be turned back on again.
After performing the above settings, perform the necessary settings.
