Remote Control Precautions
•Handle the remote control carefully.
•If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
•Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
•Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
•If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
•Ensure that you have the batteries polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
•Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
•Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

Remote sensor on projector cabinet Remote control7m/22 feet
•The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet/7 m and within a 60-degree angle of
the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
•The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the sensor, or if strong light falls
on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote control from properly operating the projector.

This section describes how to set up your projector and how to connect video and audio sources.
2. Installation and Connections

 Setting Up the Screen and the Projector
Selecting a Location
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is
approximately 30 (0.76 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 47 inches (1.2 m) from the wall or
screen. The largest the image can be is 300 (7.6 m) when the projector is about 480 inches (12.2 m) from the wall or
screen. Use the chart below as a rough guide.Your projector is simple to set up and use.
But before you get started, you must first:

Set up a screen and the projector.
Connect your computer or video equip-
ment to the projector. See pages 12 to
15.
Connect the supplied power cable. See
page 16.
NOTE: Ensure that the power cable and any other
cables are disconnected before moving the pro-
jector. When moving the projector or when it is
not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.
To the wall outlet.

2. Installation and Connections
WARNING
*Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done
by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for
more information.
*Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
•Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the
projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and
the projector severely damaged.
•Do not use the projector where temperatures vary
greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures
between 41˚F (5˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C). (Eco mode
selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°C)
•Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or
smoke. This will harm the screen image.
•Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your
projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents
on the side or the front of the projector.Reflecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projectors image enables
you to enjoy a much larger image when a smaller space
is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mir-
ror system. If youre using a mirror system and your im-
age is inverted, use the MENU and SELECT buttons on
your projector cabinet or your remote control to correct
the orientation. (→ page 41)

2. Installation and Connections
 Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and
before turning on the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.
*If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computers screen-saver or power manage-
ment software.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the ‘Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or
off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external
display selections.
PC CONTROL AUDIO IN S-VIDEO IN VIDEO INCOMPUTER IN
PHONE

AUDIO IN 
VGA signal cable (supplied)To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on the projector. It
is recommended that you use a commercially
available distribution amplifier if connecting a
signal cable longer than the supplied one.
Audio cable (not supplied)
NOTE: The L-shaped plug of an audio
cable does not fit into the AUDIO IN jack.
IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)
NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of either the NEC ISS-6020 and ISS-6010 switchers.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan
converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
*When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.
NOTE: For older Macintosh, use a commercially avail-
able pin adapter (not supplied) to connect to your
Macs video port.
