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	short,	heat,	or	take	apart	batteries.
•	 Do	not	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.

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.

NOTE: 
•	 When	a	remote	cable	is	inserted	into	the	REMOTE	jack,	the	remote	control	does	not	work	for	infrared	wireless	communication.
•	 When	 a	remote	 cable	is	inserted	 into	the	REMOTE	 jack,	the	[POWER-SAVING]	 and	[NETWORK	 STANDBY]	functions	in	[STANDBY	
MODE]	will	not	work.
•	 Power	 will	not	be	supplied	 to	the	 remote	 control	from	the	projector	 via	the	 REMOTE	 jack.	Battery	 is	needed	 when	the	remote	
control is used in wired operation.

The	following	software	programs	can	be	downloaded	from	our	website.
Name	of	software	programFeatures
Image	Express	Utility	2.0•	 This	is 	a 	software 	program 	used 	to 	send 	the 	screens 	of 	your 	personal 	comput-
ers	to	the	projector	via	wired/wireless	LAN	(Meeting	mode).
	 Projected	images	can	be	transferred	and	saved	to	personal	computers.
	 When	 “Meeting	 Mode”	is	 used,	 projected	 images	can	be	sent	 and	saved	 to	
the	personal	 computers. 	Images	 can	be	sent	 from	 a	personal	 computer	 to	
not	only	 one	projector	 but	also	 to	two	 or	more	 projectors	 at	the	 same	 time.

PC	Control	Utility	Pro	4/
PC	Control	Utility	Pro	5	(for	Mac	
OS)
This	 is	a	software	 program	used	to	operate	 the	projector	 from	the	computer	
when	 the	computer	 and	the	projector	 are	connected	 with	LAN	 (wired	 or	wire-
less). 	(→	page	209)
•	 PC	Control	Utility	Pro	4	can	be	used	with	a	serial	connection.
•	 PC	Control	Utility	Pro	4	allows	for	adjusting	the	3D	settings.
Image	Express	Utility	for	Mac•	 This 	is 	a 	software 	program 	used 	to 	send 	the 	Mac’s 	screen 	image 	to 	the 	projec-
tor	 over	 a	network	 (wired	or	wireless	 LAN).	For	 Mac’s	 operating	 environment,	
see	page	212.
Virtual	Remote	 ToolWhen	the 	computer 	and 	projector 	are 	connected 	using 	a 	network 	(wired/wireless	
LAN),	 such	operations	 as	turning	 the	projector’s	 power	on	and	 off	and	 switching	
the	signal	 can	be	performed. 	It	 is	 also	 possible	 to	send	 an	image	 to	the	 projector	
and	 register	 it	as	 the	 background	 logo.	Once	 the	image	 is	registered,	 it	can	 be	
locked	to	prevent	the	logo	from	being	overwritten.	(→	page	216)
*	A	separately	sold	wireless	LAN	unit	is	required	to	use	a	wireless	LAN.
NOTE:
•	 Image	Express	Utility	for	Mac	does	not	support	“Meeting	Mode”	which	is	provided	in	Image	Express	Utility	2.0.

❷ Connecting Your Computer/Connecting the Supplied Power 
Cord
NOTE:
•	 Install	a	lens	before	performing	the	following	steps.	(→ page 167)
1.	 Connect	your	computer	to	the	projector.
	 This	 section	 will	show	 you	a	basic	 connection	 to	a	computer. 	For	 information	 about	other	connections,	 see	“(2)	
Making	Connections” 	on	page	170.
	 Connect	the	computer	 cable	(VGA)	 between	 the	projector’s	 COMPUTER	 1	IN	 connector	 and	the	computer’s	 port	
(mini	D-Sub	15	Pin). 	Turn	two	thumb	screws	of	both	connectors	to	fix	the	computer	cable	(VGA).
2.	 Connect	the	supplied	power	cord	to	the	projector.
WARNING:	TO	PREVENT	FIRE	OR	SHOCK,	DO	NOT	EXPOSE	 THIS	UNIT	TO	RAIN	OR	MOISTURE.
DO	NOT 	USE 	THIS 	UNIT’S 	PLUG 	WITH 	AN 	EXTENSION 	CORD 	OR 	IN 	AN 	OUTLET 	UNLESS 	ALL 	THE 	PRONGS	
CAN	BE	FULLY	INSERTED.
	 Important	Information:
•	 When	 plugging	in	or	 unplugging	 the	supplied	 power	cord,	make	 sure	that	the	main	 power	 switch	 is	pushed	 to	
the off [O] position. Failure to do so may cause damage to the projector.
•	 Do	not	use	a	three-phase	power	supply. 	Doing	so	may	cause	malfunction.
	 First	connect	 the	supplied	 power	cord’s	three-pin	 plug	to	the	 AC	IN	of	the	 projector,	 and	then	 connect	 the	other	
plug of the supplied power cord in the wall outlet.

2. Projecting an Image (Basic Operation)
Using the Power Cord Stopper
To	prevent	 the	power	 cord	from	 accidently	 removing	from	the	AC	IN	of	the	 projector,	 attach	the	power	 cord	stopper	
to	clamp	the	power	cord.
NOTE:
•	 Do	not	clamp	the	power	cord	with	other	cables.	Doing	so	can	generate	noise,	which	can	affect	adversely	the	signal	cable.
 CAUTION
•	 Do	not	bundle	the	power	cord. 	Doing	this	could	cause	heat	or	a	fire.
•	 Do	not	clamp	 two	power	 cords	that	would	 be	used	 when	 stacking	 two	projectors. 	Doing	 this	could	 cause	 a	
fire.
NOTE:	Be	careful	not	to	insert	the	band	inversely.	Once	the	band	is	attached,	it	cannot	be	removed	from	the	slot.
Attaching the power cord stopper
1.	 Insert	the	end	of	band	of	the	power	cord	stopper	into	the	slot	next	to	the	AC	IN	on	the	terminal	panel.
2. Use the power cord stopper to clamp the power cord.
	 Push	the	clamper	to	lock	it.
