EN-12 Preparation Preparation for projection 1. Attach the provided power cord to the projector. 2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet. 3. Remove the lens cap. Warning: Do not look into the lens directly when the projector is on. The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave the lens cap on the lens with the projector turned on, it may be deformed because of heat build-up. Remove the lens cap when you turn on the pro- jector. The power cords for use in the U.S.A. and Europe are provided with this projector. Use the appropriate cord for your country. This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. If the power plug doesn’t fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the wall outlet. The provided power cord for the U.S.A. is rated at 120 V. Never connect this cord to any outlet or power supply using other volt- ages or frequencies than rated. If you want to use a power supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an appropriate power cord separately. Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock. Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the projector near heat sources to prevent damage to the power cord. If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for replacement because it may cause fire or electric shock. Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified or altered, it may cause fire or electric shock. Caution: Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord. Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may cause electric shock. Adjustment of the projection angle For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector. Using the adjustment feet (front)1. Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle. 2. Press the foot adjustment button (front). 3. Release the foot adjustment button (front) after fine adjusting a position of lengthwise direction of the image. After using the projector: 4. Put the adjustment feet (front) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment buttons. Using the adjustment feet (rear)1. Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle. 2. Press the foot adjustment buttons next to the adjustment feet (rear), and the adjustment feet will come out. 3. Release the buttons to lock the adjustment feet (rear) to that position. 4. Rotate the adjustment feet (rear) for fine adjustment. After using the projector: 5. Put the adjustment feet (rear) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment buttons. Important: If necessary, rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment. Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor. Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left) or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up to 7 degrees using the adjustment feet only. Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen. To correct vertical keystone distortion, press the KEYSTONE but- ton on the projector or the remote control to display KEYSTONE, and adjust the image by pressing the S, T button (or VOLUME +, - button on the remote control). In the following cases: Important: When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean a projection angle. The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation conditions. When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions. Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is dis- played without noise. When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal. For SD420U only When the 720p or 1080i signal is input, the keystone adjustment ranges are limited. foot adjustment butoon Press the T (or -) button.Press the S (or +) button. 01_ENG.fm Page 12 Friday, May 26, 2006 4:19 PM
EN-13 ENGLISH Basic operation Power-on 1. Turn on the device connected to the projector first. 2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet. The POWER indicator lights up. If the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before the projector is cooled down completely after use, the fans may start rotating when the power cord is plugged in next time and the POWER button may not function. In this case, wait for the fans to stop and press the POWER button to light the indicator. 3. Press the POWER button on the control panel or the ON button on the remote control. It may take about one minute for the lamp to light up. The lamp occasionally fails to light up. Wait a few minutes and try to light the lamp again. After the POWER button is pressed, the image may flicker before the lamp becomes stable. This is not a product mal- function. Regardless of the setting of LAMP MODE in the INSTALLA- TION menu, the STANDARD lamp mode is activated by default whenever the projector is turned on. When LAMP MODE has been set to LOW, the lamp mode changes from STANDARD to LOW about one minute after turn-on. Important: Do not cover the lens with the lens cap while the lamp is on. Do not strip off the aluminum sheet inside the lens cap. The projector starts warming up when the POWER button is pressed. During the warm-up process, images may appear dark and no commands are accepted. By blinking red, the STATUS indicator indicates that the lamp should be replaced soon. Replace the lamp when the STATUS indicator blinks red. (See page 23 and 26.) Images may not be projected with good quality in an extremely hot or cold environment. (This is not a product malfunction.) 4. Adjust the focus by turning the focus ring. 5. Choose your desired external input source using the COM- PUTER or VIDEO button. The input source is switched from VIDEO to COMPUTER at the press of the COMPUTER button on the control panel. The input source is switched between VIDEO and S-VIDEO at every press of the VIDEO button on the control panel. The projector automatically selects the appropriate signal format. The selected signal format is displayed on the screen. The COMPUTER and VIDEO buttons don’t function while the menu is being displayed. When COMPUTER is chosen as the source, images sup- plied from the computer may flicker. Press the W or X button on the remote control to reduce flicker, if it occurs. To avoid permanently imprinting a fixed image onto your pro- jector, please do not display the same stationary images for long period. 6. Adjust the image size by turning the zoom ring.
