    This	section	describes	how	to	set	up	your	projector	and	how	to	connect	video	and	audio	sources.
    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.
    	(→	page	9 6,  98,  99,  10 0,  101 , 10 2, 
    103)
    c
    	 Connect	 the	supplied	 power	cord. 
    (→
    	page	13)
    NOTE:	 Ensure	 that	the	power	 cord	and	any	other	
    cables	 are	disconnected	 before	moving	 the	projec-
    tor.	When 	moving 	the 	projector 	or 	when 	it 	is 	not 	in	
    use,	cover	the	lens	with	the	sliding	lens	cover.

    The	 further	 your	projector	 is	from	 the	screen	 or	wall,	 the	larger	 the	image. 	The	 minimum	 size	the	image	 can	be	is	
    approximately	 25"	(0.64	 m)	measured	 diagonally	 when	the	projector	 is	roughly	 35	inches	 (0.9	m)	from	 the	wall	 or	
    screen. 	The	 largest	 the	image	 can	be	is	300"	 (7.6	m)	when	 the	projector	 is	about	 435	inches	 (11.0	m)	from	 the	wall

    6. 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	 se-
    lected	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	projector’s	 image	enables	
    you	to	enjoy	 a	much	 larger	 image	 when	a	smaller	 space	
    is	required. 	Contact 	your	 NEC	dealer 	if	 you	 need	 a	mirror 	
    system. 	If	 you’re	 using	a	mirror	 system	 and	your	 image	
    is	inverted,	 use	the	MENU	 and		buttons	 on	your	
    projector	 cabinet	or	your	 remote	 control	to	correct	 the	
    orientation. 	(→	page	79)

    COMPUTER 1 INAUDIO IN

    USB(PC)
    Computer cable (VGA) (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 
    cable supplied.
    A commercially available 
    USB cable 
    (compatible with USB 2.0 
    specifications)
    NOTE:	
    For	Macintosh,	 use	a	commercially	 avail-
    able	pin	adapter	 (not	supplied)	 to	connect	 to	
    your	Mac’s	video	port.
    Stereo mini-plug 
    audio cable (not 
    supplied)
     Making Connections
    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	 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.

    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:
