Setting up
Setting up
(continued on next page) Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be 
used in.
Arrangement
Refer to table T- 1 or T-2  and figures  F-1 and  F-2 at the end of User’s Manual (concise) to 
determine the screen size and projection distance.
The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen.
  
a  Screen size (diagonal)  b  Projection distance (±8%)   c1 , c2  Screen heigh t (±8%)
•  For the case of installation in special conditions such as on the wall or ceiling, the 
specified mounting accessories and service may be required.  Tabletop use must be 
setup with the designated optional accessories.  Before installing the projector, consult 
your dealer about your installation.
•   
The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is mounted on locations 
such as the wall or ceiling, due to the flexibility of the plastic projector body. If readjustment 
is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.
•    The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx. 30 
minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change. Readjust 
the image position and/or focus as necessary.
•    Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to select a 
screen carefully to have better performance. - A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a projected 
image. A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with this 
projector.
- A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not suitable 
for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen that has wide 
viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.
- 
A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image, which is not a 
failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is recommended for use with this 
projector.
►Place the projector in a stable horizontal position. If the 
projector falls or is knocked over, it could cause injury and/or damage to the 
projector. Using a damaged projector could then result in fire and/or electric shock.
•   Do not place the projector on an unstable, slanted or vibrational surface such 
as a wobbly or inclined stand.
•   Do not place the projector on its side or front position. To place the projector 
on its rear position for the table top use, it is required to use the designated 
optional parts. Consult with your dealer.
•   Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as on the wall or 
ceiling. WARNING

projector.
•  Do not place anything that may be sucked into or stick to the vents on the 
bottom of the projector. This projector has some intake vents also on the bottom.

and removing the projector with the mounting accessories to the service personnel.
•   Read and keep the user’s manual of the mounting accessories used.WARNING
►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place. 
Placing the projector in such places could cause fire, electric shock and/or 
malfunction of the projector.
• Do not place the projector near humidifiers, smoking spaces or a kitchen.  Also 
do not use an ultrasonic humidifier near the projector. Otherwise chlorine and 
minerals contained in tap water are atomized and could be deposited in the 
projector causing image degradation or other problems.
►
Position the projector to prevent light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.
►Do not place the product in a place where radio interference may be caused.
►Do not place this product in a magnetic field.
►
If the projector is used at an altitude of about 1600 m or higher, set ALTITUDE

Setting up
Before connecting the projector to a device, consult the manual of the device to 
confirm that the device is suitable for connecting with this projector and prepare 
the required accessories, such as a cable in accord with the signal of the device. 
Consult your dealer when the required accessory did not come with the product or 
the accessory is damaged.
After  making  sure  that  the  device  and  projector  are  turned  off,  connect  them 
following the instructions below.
►Use only the appropriate accessories. Otherwise it could cause 
a fire or damage to the device and the projector. 
-   Use  only  the  accessories  specified  or  recommended  by  the  projector’s 
manufacturer.  Consult  your  dealer  when  the  required  accessory  did  not  come 
with the product or the accessory is damaged. It may be regulated under some 
standard.
-   For a cable with a core at only one end, connect the end with the core to the 
projector. That may be required by EMI regulations. 
- Neither disassemble nor modify the projector and the accessories.
- Do not use the damaged accessory. Be careful not to damage the accessories. Route a cable so that it is neither stepped on nor pinched out.WARNING
►Do not turn on or off the projector while connected to a device 
in operation, unless that is directed in the manual of the device. Otherwise it may 
cause malfunction in the device or projector.
►Be careful not to mistakenly connect a connector to a wrong port. Otherwise it 
may cause malfunction in the device or projector. 
-   When connecting a connector to a port, make sure that the shape of the  
connector fits the port.
-   Tighten the screws to connect a connector equipped with screws to a port.
-   Use the cables with straight plugs, not L-shaped ones, as the input ports of the 
projector are recessed. CAUTION
Connecting with your devices
(continued on next page) Arrangement (continued)
• The projector may make a rattling sound when tilted, moved or 
shaken, since a flap to control the air flow inside of the projector has moved. Be 
aware that this is not a failure or malfunction.
• The incoming light to the screen from the projector has a large angle. While 
the white image is on the screen, you may see it with colors, but this is because 
of the type of the screen used or the angles viewed, and it is not a malfunction.
• When the ambient temperature is around 35 to 40°C,  the brightness of lamp 
is reduced automatically. NOTE
