If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling;\l • Do not attempt to install the projector yourself. • The projector must be installed by qualified techni- cians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. • In addition, the c\leiling must be strong enough to sup- port the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes.
3 Important Informat\2ion • Please consult your dealer for more information. WARNING 1. Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to distorting or melting of the cap and burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output. 2. Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens. Doing so could lead to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output.\l Do not tilt the projector forward or back at a greater angle than 15°. Doing so may result in malfunctio\ln. When mount- ing the projector on the ceiling, select an appropriate option for [Fan Tilt Setting]. 15° 15° Power Supply 1. The projector is so designed that it operates with the power supply voltage described below. • AC1\b\b–13\bV 1\b.3 to 7.9 A 5\b/6\bHz Single-phas\le • AC2\b\b–24\bV 5.1 to 4.3 A 5\b/6\bHz Single-phas\le Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector. 2. The power cable is not included with the projector. Ask your dealer for the power cable to select and purchase. Use a power cable that meets the standards and power supply voltage of the country where you are using the projector. Refer to “2-2. Connecting the Power Cable” (page 17) for details on connecting t\lhe power cable. 3. Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause electr\lic shock or fire. • Do not bend or tug \lthe power cable excessively. • Do not place the po\lwer cable under the projector, or any heavy object. • Do not cover the power cable with other soft materi- als such as rugs. • Do not heat the po\lwer cable. 4. Placing the power cable and the signal cable closely to each other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two separated so that beat no\lise is not generated. Beat noise is corruption of the picture often seen as a rolling band moving through the image. 5. Do not touch the projector during a thunder storm. Doing so can cause electr\lical shock or fire. 6. When installed on the ceiling, install the breaker in a location that is ea\lsy to reach by hand. Fire a\fd S\bock Precautio\fs 1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous con- centrations of ozone and the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 12 inches (3\bcm) of space between your projector and a wall. In particular, clear a space of 27.6 inches (7\b cm) or more in front of the air outlet on the rear surface and 19.8 inches (5\b cm) or more in front of the air out\llet on the lamp sid\le. 2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screw - driver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service person. 3. Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under the following conditions: • When the power cable or plug is damaged\l or frayed. • If liquid has been \lspilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water. • If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual. • If the projector has been dropped or the cabin\let has been damaged. • If the projector exhibits a distinct\l change in perfor - mance, indicating a need\l for service. 4. Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as \lfire or injury to the eyes. 5. When using a LA\f cable: For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive Voltage. 6. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result. 7. Do not try to touch the air outlets on the projector during normal projector operation as it is hot\l.

Cautio\f o\f Carryi\fg t\be Projector/Ha\fdli\fg t\be Optio\fal Le\fs When shipping the projector with the lens, remove the lens before shipping the projector. Always attach the dust cap to the lens whenever it is not mounted on the projector. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation. WARNING TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS\L: Handling the cables supplied with this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. WASH HA\fDS AFTER HA\fDLI\fG N\bte f\br US Residents The lamp in this product contains mercury. Please dispose according to Local, State or Federal Laws. Lamp Replaceme\ft 1. Use the specified lamp for safety and performance. 2. To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 52. 3. Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environ- ment, there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly. There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the recommended hours, the risk of explosion increases. Please note that there is a warning system built in, that displays following message when you reach a preset operating time “Lamp1 OverTime” or “Lamp2 OverTime”. When you see this message please replace the lamp 1 or lamp 2. If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from the vents located on the back of the unit. Do not stand in front of the vents during the operation. This smoke is comprised of glass in particu- late form and Mercury gas, and will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out with water immedi- ately and seek immediate medical attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause se\lrious injury. A Lamp Characteristic The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source. A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness. CAUTION • DO \fOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then disconnect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling. • When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted pro- jector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

7 1. What’s in the B\bx? and the Names \bf the \fr\bject\br \farts 1-1. Features • DLP Cinema® projector Complies with the strict projection standards defined \fy the Digital Cinema \bnitiatives (DC\b) industry group in the United States using leading imagin\fig technology of NEC.\fi \bt also supports 3D projection and high f\firame rates (HFR). • Reduced installation space and \lincreased freedom through a more compact and lightweight body By employing a newly developed 0.69” DLP Cinema chip, DLP Cinema® projector has \fecome even more compact and light- weight than the previous model with dimensions of 621mm (wide) × 798mm (deep) × 314mm (high) and weight of approxi- mately 44kg. The projector does not need to \fe connected to an external exhaust duct. \bt also supports installation on \foth the floor and ceiling. Therefore the projector delivers reduced installation space and improved freedom. A wide variety of optional lenses (sold separately) are also availa\fle for the projector in order to support a wide variety of installation methods (a lens is not mounted when the p\firojector is shipped\fi from the factory). • Reduced maintenance time through the lamp replacement at the u\lnit level The lamps can \fe replaced at the unit level. This method makes the lamp replacement easier and greatly reduces the time for maintenance work. The projector consumes less power than the previous model through the adoption of a high-pressure mercury lamp. By employing a two lamp system, even if one lamp is extinguished, projection can continue using the other lamp although the \frightness is degrad\fied (the projector does not c\fiomply with DC\b stan\fidards when using only \fia single lamp). • Equipped with easy to use functions (1) Lamp power memory function that ca\fin \fe operated with \fione touch The projector is provided with a lamp power memory function for storing the \frightness of the images on the screen for each input signal. Even if you are projecting multiple images that have different settings for \frightness, you can project them with the condi- tions pre-registered for each signal,\fi simply \fy selectin\fig the corresponding signal. (2) Frequently used titl\fies can \fe registered in preset \futtons The projector has \feen equipped with 16 preset \futtons that make it easy to select registered title (input signal). To this projector, 100 titles at most can \fe registered (input signal registration). Among the registered titles, any 16 titles can \fe assigned to the preset \futtons.
