Cleaning
•Disconnect the power cable (mains lead) from the unit.
•Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If
heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents
or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
•Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to
scratch or mar the lens.
•Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit
periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated dust blocks
the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the
unit to malfunction.
Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do
not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice tool, to prevent the
damage to the unit.
Lamp Replacement
•Be sure to replace the lamp when the Status indicator comes on.
If you continue to use the lamp after 1000 hours of usage, the
lamp will turn off.
Fire and Shock Precautions
•Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are
unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Allow
at least 10 cm (3 inches) of space between the unit and walls.
•Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from
falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that
fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or
screwdriver into the unit. If something should fall into the unit,
immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have
the object removed by a qualified service person.
•Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.
• Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage
to your eyes could result.
Carrying around
When carrying the unit around, please use the carrying case that
comes with it and, to protect the lens from scratches, always shut
the sliding lens cap.  Also, do not subject the unit to strong
mechanical shock.

Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The LVP-
X30U Data Projector
The LVP-X30U is one of the most spectacular data projectors
available today. The unit enables you to project precise images up
to 200 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or
Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document cam-
era, laser disc player, DVD player, etc.
The unit can be placed on a tabletop or cart. The unit can also be
used to project images from behind the screen.
*
* Consult your dealer for more information.
The other main features you’ll enjoy
•Compatible with following various color systems:
–NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
–PAL (Western Europe standar d)
–SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
–NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)
•Superior brightness of 800 ANSI lumens, small size, and
weighing only about 1.4 kilograms/3.1 lbs.
Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical
design we have developed a geometric effect that increases the
light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we
can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for
color reproduction on a single DMD. This means superior bright-
ness, smaller size, and lighter weight.
•Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the
individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear
reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look
and notice the difference in quality!
•Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors
when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality
data/video sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image
displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the
true image display quality of the unit.
•Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when pro-
jecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the
line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of
vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the key-
stone correction function.
•Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these
projectors to present clear compression SXGA images without any
line omission.
•A remote control that can operate the PC or Macintosh
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a
wireless mouse control to operate the PC or Macintosh con-
nected to the unit.
•The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary
design complements any office, board room, or auditorium.
