1. Introduction
Battery Installation
NOTE: Actual operating range may differ slightly from that shown in the \
drawing.
TIP:  You  can  determine  which  remote  sensor  on  the  projector  is  enabled  in  wireless  mode.  The  options  are:  [FRONT/BACK], 
[FRONT], or [BACK]. (→ page 68)
•	 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.

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.

2. Installation and Connections
 Setting Up the Screen and the Projector
Selecting a Location [NP3200/NP2200/NP1200]
The	further	 your	projector	 is	from	 the	screen	 or	wall,	 the	larger	 the	image. 	The	 minimum	 size	the	image	 can	be	is	
approximately	 30	inches	 (0.76	m)	measured	 diagonally	 when	the	projector	 is	roughly	 41	inches	 (1.0	m)	from	 the	
wall	or	screen. 	The	largest	the	image	can	be	is	500	inches	(12.7	m)	when	the	projector	is	about	718	inches	(18.2	m)	
from	the	wall	or	screen. 	Use	the	drawing	below	as	a	guide.

TIP: The screen sizes above are intermediate values between tele (minimum d\

the standard lens is used. Image size can be adjusted with the zoom adju\
stment up to a maximum of 15%.
For optional lenses, see page 82.
Your	projector	is	simple	to	set	up	and	use.
But	before	you	get	started,	you	must	first:
z	 Set	up	a	screen	and	the	projector.
x Connect	your	computer	or	video	equip-
ment 	to 	the 	projector. 	See 	pages 	13,

See	page	20.
NOTE:  Ensure  that  the  power  cable  and  any 
other cables are disconnected before moving the 
projector. When moving the projector or when it 
is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

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 un\
less 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 computer’s 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.
IBM	VGA	or	Compatibles	(Notebook	type)	or	Macintosh	(Notebook	type)NOTE:  For  older  Macintosh,  use  a  commercially 
available  pin  adapter  (not  supplied)  to  connect  to 
your Mac’s video port.
•	 First	turn	off	the	computer	and	the	projector	before	making	connections.
•	 Turn	 down	the	volume	 on	the	 computer	 before	connecting	 an	audio	 cable	to	the	 headphone	 jack	of	the	 com-
puter. 	After	 connecting	 the	computer	 to	the	 projector,	 you	can	 adjust	 the	sound	 level	on	the	 computer	 and	the	
projector	to	your	preference.
•	 You	are	recommended	to	connect	an	audio	cable	to	an	audio	out	connector	(mini	jack	type)	if	any.
NOTE:  The  NP3200/NP2200/NP1200  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 AUTO ADJUST button on 
the projector cabinet.

2. Installation and Connections
When	 Viewing	a	DVI	Digital	Signal
To	project	a	DVI	digital	signal,	be	sure	to	connect	the	PC	and	the	projector	using	a	DVI-D	signal	cable	(not	supplied)	
before	 turning	 on	your	 PC	or	projector. 	Turn	 on	the	 projector	 first	and	 select	 COMPUTER	 3	from	 the	source	 menu	
before	turning	on	your	PC.
Failure	 to	do	 so	may	 not	activate	 the	digital	 output	 of	the	 graphics	 card	resulting	 in	no	 picture	 being	displayed. 	
Should	this	happen,	restart	your	PC.
Do	not	 disconnect	 the	DVI-D	 signal	cable	while	the	projector	 is	running. 	If	 the	 signal	 cable	has	been	 disconnected	
and	then	re-connected,	an	image	may	not	be	correctly	displayed. 	Should	this	happen,	restart	your	PC.
NOTE: 
•	 Use	a	DVI-D	 cable	compliant	 with	the	DDWG	 (Digital	 Display	 Working	 Group)	DVI	(Digital	 Visual	Interface)	 revision	1.0	stan-
dard. The DVI-D cable should be within 5 m (197") long.
•	 The	 DVI	(DIGITAL)	 connector	(COMPUTER	 3	(DVI-D)	 IN)	accepts	 VGA	(640	 ×	480),	 SVGA	 (800	×	600),	 1152	×	864,	 XGA	(1024	
×	768),	WXGA	(1280	×	768,	1280	×	800),	SXGA	(1280	×	1024	@	up	to	60Hz)	and	SXGA+	(1400	×	1050	@	up	to	60Hz).

What	is	HDCP/HDCP	technology?
HDCP	 is	an	 acronym	 for	High-bandwidth	 Digital	Content	 Protection. 	High	 bandwidth	 Digital	Content	 Protection	
(HDCP)	is	a	system	for	preventing	illegal	copying	of	video	data	sent	over	a	Digital	 Visual	Interface	(DVI).
If	you	 are	unable	 to	view	 material	 via	the	 DVI	 input,	 this	does	 not	necessarily	 mean	the	projector	 is	not	 functioning	
properly. 	With	 the	implementation	 of	HDCP,	 there	may	be	cases	 in	which	 certain	 content	 is	protected	 with	HDCP	
and	might	not	be	displayed	due	to	the	decision/intention	of	the	HDCP	community	(Digital	Content	Protection,	LLC).

You	
can	connect	 a	separate,	 external	monitor	to	your	 projector	 to	simultaneously	 view	on	a	monitor	 the	RGB	 ana-
log	or	component	image	you’re	projecting.
NOTE:
•	 Daisy	chain	connection	is	not	possible.
•	 The	MONITOR	OUT	connector	will	output	no	video	signal	(Digital	signal)	from	the	COMPUTER	3	(DVI-D)	IN	connector.
•	 When	audio	equipment	is	connected,	the	projector	speaker	is	disabled.
•	 When	 the	projector	 is	in	 standby	 condition,	 the	MONITOR	 OUT	connector	 outputs	the	video	 signal	 and	the	AUDIO	 OUT	jack	
outputs	the	audio	signal	according	to	the	setting	of	[OUT	TERMINAL]	in	the	menu.	
	 Choices	are	[LAST],	[COMPUTER1],	and	[COMPUTER2].
