Burning-in of D-ILA Device
oDo not allow the same still picture to be 
projected for a long time or an abnormally 
bright video image to be projected
Do not project still images with a high brightness or 
high contrast on the screen for a long time. This video 
image could be burnt into the D-ILA device.
Pay special attention when projecting video games and 
computer program images.
Motion images such as normal video playback images 
do not pose the burning-in problem.
Viewing Conditions (Brightness 
of Room)
oBrightness of the room
Avoid direct exposure of screen to direct sunlight and 
lights such as by using a curtain. Images can be well 
projected by darkening the brightness of the room.
oDo not view screen for prolonged hours
Looking at the screen continually for a prolonged time 
is tiring to the eyes. Allow your eyes to rest at intervals.
oDo not use this unit when image flickers
Image may flicker due to installation conditions and 
environment. This may cause your eyesight to 
deteriorate.
Environment of Use
oDo not use this projector in rooms with 
cigarette smoke or oily smoke
Do not use this projector in rooms with cigarette smoke 
or oily smoke. This may cause the unit to malfunction.
oWhen mounting this projector to the ceiling
Check the temperature around the projector unit.
When a heater is in use, the ceiling may reach a 
temperature higher than anticipated, hence leading to 
malfunction of the unit.
Maintenance Procedures
oClean dirt on the cabinet
Do this with a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, soak 
a cloth in neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry 
and wipe, followed by wiping again using a dry cloth.
oPay attention to the following to prevent the 
cabinet from deteriorating in condition, 
getting damaged, or the paint from coming 
off.
●Do not wipe with a stiff cloth
●Do not wipe with force
●Do not wipe with thinner or benzene
●Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide
●Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic
products
oClean dirt on the lens
Do this using commercial blowers or lens cleaning 
papers (for cleaning glasses and cameras).
Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to 
peeling of the surface coating film.
Lens surface is fragile. Avoid rubbing it hard or 
knocking it.
Precautions During Use
Gauging replacement time of components
This product comes with replacement components required for maintaining the functions of this product, such as
optical components, cooling fan and filters. The timing for replacing components varies considerably according

Getting Started
Front/Right/Rear Side
AAir Inlet/Filter
The air inlets absorb air to cool the interior of the 
projector. A filter is mounted inside the projector to 
remove dirt in the air that enters through the inlets. Clean 
the filter regularly. (APage 58)
CAUTION:                                                                      
●Do not block the air inlets with papers, cloth, or soft 
cushions. Doing so may cause heat to trap inside the 
projector and result in fire or malfunction.
BLens Cap (included with the optional lens)
Fit the cap on the lens when this projector is not in use to 
prevent the lens from becoming dirty.
CAUTION:                                                                      
●Do not project images with the lens cap attached. The 
lens cap may be deformed due to the heat, or the 
projector may malfunction.
CProjection Lens (optional)
Zoom lens or short focal length lens is optional. 
(APage 60)
Remove the lens cap before projection.
DLens Mounting Bracket
Mount the optional projection lens.
EAdjustable Feet (x4)
Adjust the feet until the projector is level. The adjustable 
range is 20 mm for each. (APage 15)
FAir Inlet/Filter (Right Side: x3, Left Side: x1)
The air inlets absorb air to cool the interior of the 
projector. A filter is mounted inside the projector to 
remove dirt in the air that enters through the inlets. Clean 
the filter regularly. (APage 58)
GVent Hole
Warm air exits from the hole after cooling the projector.
CAUTION:                                                                      
●Do not block the vent holes with papers, cloth, or soft 
cushions. Doing so may cause heat to trap inside the 
projector and result in fire or malfunction.
HVent Hole
Warm air exits from the hole after cooling the lamp.

Projector Installation Angle
You can install this projector between 90 .
Images will be properly displayed if the horizontal angle 
is between the range of  5.
However, you have to configure using [Installation 
Style]( APage 48) for certain installation orientations.
A: Upward installation (+45   to  +90 )
B: Horizontal installation (-45  to +45 )
C: Downward installation (-45  to -90 )
CAUTION:                                                                      
● To ceiling-mount this unit, special expertise and skills 
are necessary. Make to sure request the authorized 
dealer or specialized work c ontractors for installation.
●The projector cannot be installed upside down.
 Adjusting the Inclination
Adjust the horizontal angle of the projector.
Lift the projector and turn the nut of the adjustable foot 
with a spanner in the direction indicated by the arrow to 
extend or retract the foot.  The adjustable range is 20 mm. It is recommended that this projector be installed at right 
angle to the screen.
When a zoom lens (optional) is in use, you can make use 
of the lens shift feature of this projector to shift the 
projection screen vertically between 0% to 
50%, and 
horizontally between 0% to  25%.
When a short focal length lens (optional) is in use, you 
can shift the projection screen position vertically between 
0% to  15%, and horizontally between 0% to  5%.
Below are some examples on the layout when a zoom 
lens is used.
 When shift amount in the upward direction is 
+50 %
Install the projector such  that the lower end of the 
projection screen is at the same  height as the center of 
the lens.
 When shift amount in the upward/downward 
direction is 0 %
Install the projector such that  the center of the projection 
screen is at the same height  as the center of the lens.
When shift amount in the downward direction 
is -50 %
Install the projector such  that the upper end of the 
projection screen is at the same  height as the center of 
the lens.

Lens Fixation Mechanism
A screw for securing the lens  mechanism is attached in 
the factory shipment to  prevent damage of the 
equipment during transportation. If the lens does not 
move horizontally or vertically when you operate 
A Shift B in the Lens menu, this could be because the 
screw has not been removed. When this occurs, 
please consult your authorized dealer.

Overlaying projected images (when zoom 
lens is in use)
Projecting images by stacking projectors
The lens shift feature enables you to use up to three 
stacked projectors at the same time.
Stacking the projectors enhances the brightness level, 
and helps to project images that are sufficiently bright 
even when the venue is relatively big or bright.
CAUTION:                                                                      
●When the projectors are stacked together during use, 
ensure that the installation site is sufficiently strong 
and there is proper air cooling around the projectors.         
Take the necessary measures to prevent the 
projectors from toppling or falling off so as to ensure 
safety during emergency situations, such as 
earthquakes, and to prevent accidents from occurring. 
For details, please consult your authorized dealer.
Projecting images by arranging projectors 
side by side
The lens shift feature enables you to use up to two 
projectors that are arranged side by side.
Arranging two projectors side by side enhances the 
brightness level, and helps to project images that are 
sufficiently bright even when the venue is relatively big or 
bright.
When projecting images by arranging the projectors side 
by side, adjust the shift amount of both projectors 
accordingly to superimpose the images. 
CAUTION:                                                                      
●When using the projectors by arranging them side by 
side, ensure that the installation site is sufficiently 
strong and there is proper air cooling around the 
projectors. For details, please consult your authorized 
dealer.
When light passes through the glass of 
projection booth 
NOTE:                                                                             
●When light passes through the glass, the quantity of 
light decreases. Make sure that the glass of the 
projection booth is not more than one piece.
●Do not use glass if possible.
●When projecting light on an inclined glass surface, 
adjust the glass angle as well as installation angle of 
this unit accordingly to prevent impact on the image 
due to diffuse reflection.
