    							8 Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
    projector.
    Caution concerning the lamp unit
    Potential hazard of glass
    particles if lamp ruptures. In
    case of lamp rupture, contact
    your nearest 
    Marantz
    Authorized Dealer or Service
    Center
     for replacement.
    See “Replacing the Lamp” on
    page 54.
    Caution concerning the setup of the
    projector
    For minimal servicing and to maintain high
    image quality, Marantz recommends that this
    projector be installed in an area free from
    humidity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the
    projector is subjected to these environments,
    the vents and lens must be cleaned more
    often. As long as the projector is regularly
    cleaned, use in these environments will not
    reduce the overall operation life of the unit.
    Internal cleaning should only be performed by
    Marantz Authorized Dealer or Service Center.
    Do not set up the projector in places ex-
    posed to direct sunlight or bright light.
    Position the screen so that it is not in direct
    sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on
    the screen washes out the colors, making
    viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim
    the lights when setting up the screen in a
    sunny or bright room.
    Caution regarding placing of the projec-
    tor
    Place the projector on a level site within the
    adjustment range (8 degrees) of the adjust-
    ment foot.
    After the projector is purchased, a faint smell
    from the vent may appear when the power is
    first turned on. This is normal and is not a
    malfunction. It will disappear after the projec-
    tor is used for a while.
    When using the projector in high-altitude
    areas such as mountains (at altitudes of
    approximately 4,900 feet (1,500 meters)
    or more)
    When you use the projector in high-altitude
    areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”.
    Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the
    optical system.
    Warning about placing the projector in
    a high position
    When placing the projector in a high position,
    ensure that it is secured carefully to avoid per-
    sonal injury caused by the projector falling
    down.
    Do not subject the projector to hard im-
    pact and/or vibration.
    Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage
    the surface of the lens.
    Rest your eyes occasionally.
    Continuously watching the screen for long
    hours will cause eye strain. Be sure to occa-
    sionally rest your eyes.
    Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
    perature.
    The operating temperature of the projector is
    from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
    The storage temperature of the projector is
    from  –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
    Do not block the exhaust and intake
    vents.
    Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space
    between the exhaust vent and the nearest
    wall or obstruction.
    Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust
    vent are not obstructed.
    If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-
    tection circuit will automatically put the pro-
    jector into standby mode to prevent overheat
    damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-
    tion. (See pages 52 and 53.) Remove the pro-
    jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait
    at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where
    the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,
    plug the power cord back in and turn on the
    projector. This will return the projector to the
    normal operating condition.

    							Introduction
    9
    When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
    runs to decrease the internal temperature for
    a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool-
    ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
    will vary, depending on the circumstances and
    the internal temperature.
    Caution regarding usage of the projector
    When using the projector, be sure not to sub-
    ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
    can result in damage. Take extra care with
    the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure
    to unplug the power cord from the wall out-
    let, and disconnect any other cables con-
    nected to it.
    Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
    When storing the projector, re-attach the lens
    cap. (See page 11).
    Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
    or place next to heat sources. Doing so may
    affect the cabinet color or cause deformation
    of the plastic cover.
    Other connected equipment
    When connecting a computer or other audio-
    visual equipment to the projector, make the
    connections AFTER unplugging the power
    cord of the projector from the AC outlet and
    turning off the equipment to be connected.
    Please read the user guides of the projector
    and the equipment to be connected for in-
    structions on how to make the connections.
    Info
    •The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
    perature, and its performance is automatically
    controlled. The sound of the fan may change
    during projector operation due to changes in
    the fan speed. This does not indicate mal-
    function.
