1. Introduction
❷ Introduction to the Projector
This	section	introduces	you	to	your	new	projector	and	describes	the	features	and	controls.
Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector
This	projector	 is	one	 of	the	 very	 best	projectors	 available	today.	The	 projector	 enables	you	to	project	 precise	 images	
up	to	150	 inches	 for	short	 throw	 models	 across	(measured	 diagonally)	 from	your	PC	or	Mac	 computer	 (desktop	or	
notebook),	 VCR,	DVD	player,	or	document	camera.
You	can	use	the	projector	 on	a	tabletop	 or	cart,	 you	can	 use	the	projector	 to	project	 images	 from	behind	 the	screen,	
and	the	projector	can	be	permanently	mounted	on	a	ceiling*1.	 The	remote	control	can	be	used	wirelessly.
*1	 Do	not	attempt	to	mount	the	projector	on	a	ceiling	yourself.
	 The	 projector	 must	be	installed	 by	qualified	 technicians	 in	order	 to	ensure	 proper	operation	 and	reduce	 the	risk	
of	bodily	injury.
	 In	 addition,	 the	ceiling	 must	be	strong	 enough	 to	support	 the	projector	 and	the	installation	 must	be	in	accordance	
with	any	local	building	codes. 	Please	consult	your	dealer	for	more	information.
 
Features you’ll enjoy:
•	 0.2	W	(100-130	 V	AC)/	0.38	W	(200-240	 V	AC)	in	standby	condition	with	energy	saving	technology
	 Selecting	[NORMAL]	for	[STANDBY	MODE]	from	the	menu	can	put	the	projector	in	power-saving	mode.
	 NORMAL: 	0.2W(100-130V	AC)/0.38W(200-240V	AC)
	 NETWORK	STANDBY: 	2.5W(100-130V	AC)/2.9W(200-240V	AC)
•	 Carbon	Meter	
	 This	feature	will	show	 energy-saving	 effect	in	terms	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 (kg)	when	 the	projector’s	 [ECO	
MODE]	is	set	to	[AUTO	ECO],	[NORMAL],	or	[ECO].
	 The	amount	 of	CO2	emission	 reduction	 will	be	displayed	 in	the	 confirmation	 message	at	the	 time	 of	power-off	 and	
in	the	INFO	of	the	on-screen	menu.
•	 Lamp	life	up	to	8000	hours
	 Using	 in	Eco	 Mode	 allows	 you	to	prolong	 the	projector’s	 lamp	life	up	to	8000	 hours	 (up	to	3500	 hours	 in	ECO	
MODE	OFF). 	
•	 No	filter	replacement	required
	 Since	the	projector	has	no	filters,	filter	replacement	is	not	required.
•	 Two	HDMI	input	ports	provide	digital	signal	
	 The	two	HDMI	inputs	provide	HDCP	compatible	digital	signals. 	The	HDMI	input	also	supports	audio	signal.
•	 20	 W	built-in	speaker	for	an	integrated	audio	solution	/mic	input	supprted
	 Powerful	 20	watt	 monaural	 speaker	provides	 volume	need	for	large	 rooms	 a	dynamic	 or	condenser	 mic	can	 be	
used.
•	 The	supplied	remote	control	allows	you	to	assign	a	CONTROL	ID	to	the	projector
	 Multiple 	projectors 	can	 be	operated 	separately 	and	 independently 	with 	the	 same 	single	 remote	 control	by	assigning 	
an	ID	number	to	each	projector.
•	 USB	Display	
	 Using	 a	commercially	 available	USB	cable	 (compatible	 with	USB	 2.0	specifications)	 to	connect	 the	computer	 with	
the	projector	 allows	you	to	send	 your	computer	 screen	image	to	the	 projector	 without	the	need	 of	a	traditional	
computer	cable	(VGA).

1. Introduction
•	 Integrated	RJ-45	connector	for	wired	networking	capability	along	with	wireless	networking	capabilities
	 An	RJ-45	connector	is	standard.	An	optional	USB	Wireless	LAN	Unit	is	required	for	wireless	LAN	connection.
•	 Software	programs	(User	Supportware)	contained	in	the	supplied	CD-ROM
	 The	supplied	 NEC	Projector	 includes	three	programs: 	Virtual	 Remote	 Tool,	Image	 Express	 Utility	Lite	(for	Windows/
Mac	OS),	PC	Control	Utility	Pro	4	(for	 Windows)/5	(for	Mac	OS).	
	 Image	Express	Utility	Lite	(for	Windows)	 can	be	started	 from	a	commercially	 available	USB	memory	 or	SD	 card	
without	the	need	of	installing	on	your	computer.
•	 Audio	transfer	capability	(for	 Windows	only)
	 Image	Express 	Utility 	Lite 	allows 	you 	to 	send 	the 	computer’s 	screen 	image 	and 	audio 	to 	the 	projector 	over 	a 	network	
or	USB	connection.
*	 Audio	 transfer	capability	 is	available	 only	when	 the	computer	 connects	with	the	projector	 in	peer-to-peer	 net-
work.
•	 AUTO	POWER	ON	and	AUTO	POWER	OFF	features
	 The	 DIRECT	 POWER	 ON,	AUTO	 POWER	 ON(COMP.),	 AUTO	POWER	 OFF,	and	OFF	 TIMER	 features	 eliminate	
the	need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.
•	 AUTO	POWER	OFF	Function
	 The	projector	 is	preset	 at	the	 factory	 so	that	 it	will	 automatically	 turn	off	if	there	 is	no	 signal	 present	 after	a	preset	
duration. 	If	 you	 do	not	 need	 this	preset	 function,	 cancel	it	from	 the	OSD	 menu. 	See	 page	102	for	 more	 informa-
tion.
•	 Preventing	unauthorized	use	of	the	projector
	 Enhanced	 smart	security	 settings	for	keyword	 protection,	 cabinet	control	panel	lock,	security	 slot,	and	security	
chain	opening	to	help	prevent	unauthorized	access,	adjustments	and	theft	deterrence.
•	 High	resolution	up	to	 WUXGA
	 High	resolution	 display	-	up	 to	WUXGA	 compatible,	 XGA	(M332XS)/WXGA	 (M352WS/M302WS)	 native	resolu-
tion.
•	 3D	Images	supported
	 The	projector	provides	3D	images	to	a	user	wearing	commercially	available	3D	eyeglasses.
•	 CRESTRON	ROOMVIEW	compatibility
	 The	 projector	 supports	CRESTRON	 ROOMVIEW,	 allowing	multiple	devices	connected	 in	the	 network	 to	be	 man-
aged	and	controlled	from	a	computer	or	controller.
