Before use
Before use
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as NTSC/PAL/
SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for installation 
and gets a large image from short distance.
  High Brightness 
Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra high Brightness) lamp gives you a higher 
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean 
enough for use in bright rooms.
  Low Noise 
WHISPER mode is available for reducing acoustic noise to realize quieter 
operation. It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more 
important than brightness.
  Compact Body 
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim, 
which gives you more flexibility and usability to use it where you want.
Various symbols are used in this manual. The meanings of these symbols are
