Install this projector only in a location where adequate temperature and humidity is available. (refer p.35)
Do not place the projector on a carpet, rug or other
similar surface. It may prevent a adequate ventilation
of the projector bottom. This product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only.

This projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the projector Screen. This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.
To display DTV programs, it is necessary to purchase a DTV receiver (Set-top Box) and connect it to the projector.
Installation Instructions
When the remote control does not work during operation.
The remote control may not work when a lamp equipped with electronic ballast or a three-wavelength lamp is installed.

2. Place the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance between the projector and the screen deter-
mines the actual size of the image. 
3. Position the projector so that the lens is set at a right angle to the screen. If the projector is not set at a right angle, the
screen image will be crooked. The keystone adjustment may correct this (Refer to page 25.).
