The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is intended for 
tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted (inverted) applications. For 
ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SP-LAMP-036 instead, which is specifically 
designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the 
lamp warranty (and if use of the wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void 
the projector warranty).
See the safety instructions booklet for important safety information about ceiling mounting this 
projector.

comes with it.
Replacing the Remote Controller Battery
CautionRISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT 
TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Caution
Misuse of a battery can cause it to leak and stain the area around it, or to 
explode, creating the risk of fire and personal injury. Make sure that you 
always observe the following precautions.
zTake care that the battery is oriented correctly when you load it.
zUse only battery type that is specified for use with the remote controller.
1.Hook your fingernail on the groove of 
the battery holder on the back of the 
remote controller. While holding down 
the release on the side (
), pull out 
the holder ().
2.Place the battery (CR2025) onto the 
battery holder.
zMake sure that the plus (+) side of the 
battery is facing upwards (so you can 
see it). Take care that you do not 
install the battery upside down.
3.Replace the battery holder back into the remote controller.

Getting ReadyEnglish
Getting Ready
Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure to allow 
sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation.
zThe following illustrations show how the projector should be oriented for optimum projection 
relative to the screen.
zYou can place the projector on a surface that is angled up to 30 degrees upwards or 
downwards during use. Never locate the projector on a surface that is angled more than 30 
degrees, or angled at all to the left or right. Such conditions can cause the lamp to 
explode or can shorten lamp life, and also creates the risk of malfunction.
zThe projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are 
projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction (page 
14) to correct the image.
zNote that the distances provided above are for reference only.

You can change the elevation angle of the projector in a range of 0 to 12 degrees. You can 
also make fine adjustments to the left and right side elevation angle when necessary.
To change the projector elevation angle
1.Lift up the front of the projector and press the 
release button.
zThis causes the elevation adjustment foot to drop 
from the bottom of the projector.
zBe sure to press the release button before trying to 
lower the elevation adjustment foot. Pulling on the 
foot without pressing the release lever can damage 
the foot.
2.While holding down the release button, raise and 
lower the front of the projector until the elevation adjustment foot is approximately the 
length you need.
3.Release the release button to lock the elevation adjustment foot in its current position.
4.Use the left and right adjustment feet to further fine adjust the elevation angle.zThe left and right adjustment feet are for fine adjustment only. Do not try to rotate them 
too far. Doing so can cause an adjustment foot to detach. Tightening an adjustment foot 
too strongly can cause it to become stuck.
zTo retract the elevation adjustment foot, hold down the release button and slide the 
elevation adjustment foot back into the projector. Never try to forcibly change the elevation 
adjustment foot position without pressing the release button.
In the case of rear projection, left/right orientation is opposite that of front projection, so you 
need to configure the setup menu accordingly. For more detailed operation information, see the 
Reference Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

You can use the projector to project an image from a video deck, TV, video camera, or other 
video device.
zAlways turn off the projector and the video device before connecting them.
zYou can use the bundled video cable to connect to a pin jack (RCA) type VIDEO output 
terminal. When connecting a video camera or other video device with a special video output 
terminal, use the special cable that comes with the video device. For details, see the 
documentation that comes with the video device.
zThe RGB input terminal can be connected to the component video terminal of video 
equipment using an optionally available adapter. For more information, see “Connecting to a 
Component Video Output Device” in the Reference Guide on the 
CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

Before performing any of the operations in this section, make sure you first set up the projector 
and connect to an output device.
AC Power Cord Precautions
zUse the AC power cord that comes with the projector.
zMake sure that you use a power source with the same voltage as that specified for the 
projector.
zDo not share the outlet supplying power to the projector with other devices. If you are using 
an extension cord, make sure that the ampere rating of the extension cord is compatible with 
the power consumption value of this projector.
zNever use the power cord while it is still bundled together.
zNever place objects on top of the power cord and do not step on it.
zNever pull on the power cord. When unplugging it, grasp the plug.
zUse a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug 
the projector.
To turn on the projector
1.Use the bundled AC power cord to plug 
the projector into a power outlet.
zPlugging into a power outlet causes the 
three indicators on the top of the projector 
to light amber. After a short while, two of 
the indicators will go out and only the 
POWER/STANDBY indicator will remain lit 
amber, which indicates the standby state.
zNote that the projector will not turn on if 
you press the [ ] (power) key while all 
three indicators are lit amber. Wait until the 
projector is in the standby state before 
trying to turn it on.
zThis product is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase-to-phase voltage 
230V.
2.Turn on the computer or video device that is connected to the projector.
3.If the projector’s lens cover is closed, open it.zDo not try to force the lens cover open past horizontal. Doing so creates the risk of 
malfunction.
4.Press the [ ] (power) key.zThis causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to flash green, which indicates that the 
projector is warming up.
zAfter warm up is complete, POWER/STANDBY indicator stops flashing and remains lit 
green, and the projector starts projecting an image from the device connected to it.
zA “Language” window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the 
procedure under “Specifying the Display Message Language” on the page 11 to configure 
the language settings.
