❷ Connecting Your Computer/Connecting the Power Cord
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	143.
	 Connect	the	display	output	terminal	(mini	D-sub	15	pin)	on	the	computer	to	the	COMPUTER	IN	terminal	on	the	
projector	with	a	commercially-available	computer	cable	(with	ferr ite	core)	and	then	turn	the	knobs	of	the	terminals	
to	secure	them.
2.	 Connect	the	supplied	power	cord	to	the	projector.
 WARNING
MAKE	SURE	TO	TAKE	THE	GROUND	CONNECTION	FOR	THE	DEVICE.
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	pow er	cord,	make	sure	that	the	main	pow er	switch	is	pushed	to	
the	off	[O]	position.	Failure	to	do	so	ma y	cause	damage	to	the	projector .
•	 Do	not	use	a	three-phase	power	supply.	Doing	so	may	cause	of	malfunction.
	 First	connect	the	supplied	power	cord’s	three-pin	plug	to	the	AC	IN	terminal	of	the	projector,	and	then	connect	the	
other	plug	of	the	supplied	power	cord	in	the	wall	outlet.

 CAUTION:
Parts	of	the	projector	may	become	temporarily	heated	if	the	projector	is	turned	off	with	the	POWER	button	or	if	the	
AC	power	supply	is	disconnected	during	normal	projector	operation.
Use	caution	when	picking	up	the	projector.
Using the Supplied Power Cords
Select	the	power	cord	suitable	for	your	country	or	region.

Using the Power Cord Stopper
To	prevent	the	power	cord	from	accidently	removing	from	the	AC	IN	of	the	projector,	attach	the	pow er	cord	stopper	
to	clamp	the	power	cord.
 CAUTION
•	 To	prevent	the	power	cord	from	coming	loose,	make	sure	that	all	the	prongs	of	the	pow er	cord	are	fully	inserted	
into	the	AC	IN	terminal	of	the	projector	before	using	the	power	cord	stopper	to	fix	the	pow er	cord.	A	loose	
contact	of	the	power	cord	may	cause	a	fire	or	electric	shock.
Attaching the power cord stopper
1. Raise up the power cord stopper and lay it over the power cord.

	 The	projector	will	become	ready	to	use.
•	Turning	off	the	projector:
1. Press the POWER b utton.
	 The	confirmation	message	will	be	displayed.
2. Press the POWER button again.
	 The	projector	will	go	into	standby	mode.
3. Press the main power s witch to the OFF position (O).
	 The	projector	will	be	turned	off.
 
Preparation: Remove the lens cap from the lens unit.
1. Press the main power switch to the ON position ( I ). 
	 The	POWER	indicator	lights	up	red.*
*	 This	indicates	that	the	STANDBY	mode	is	in	[NORMAL]	
setting.
 (→	page	134,	186) 
 WARNING
The	projector	produces	a	strong	light.	When	turning	on	
the	power,	make	sure	no	one	within	projection	range	is	
looking	at	the	lens.
NOTE: 
•	 The	[STANDBY	MODE]	setting	will	be	disabled	and	the	projector	
will	go	into	the	sleep	mode	when	the	network	service	is	utilized	or	
the	projector	receives	HDBaseT	signal.	In	the	sleep	mode,	the	fans	
in the projector rotate for the purpose of interior parts protection. 
Please	refer	to	page	134	about	the	sleep	mode.

Performing Lens Calibration 
After	installation	or	replacement	of	the	lens,	be	sure	to	perfor m	
[LENS	CALIBRATION]	by	pressing	and	holding	the	SHUTTER/
CALIBRATION	button	on	the	projector	cabinet	for	at	least	
two	seconds	or	by	holding	the	CTL	button	and	pressing	the	
INFO/L-CALIB.	button	on	the	remote	control.	Calibration	cor-
rects	the	adjustable	zoom,	shift,	and	focus	range.	If	calibration	
is	not	performed,	you	may	not	be	able	to	get	the	best	focus	
and	zoom	even	if	you	adjust	the	focus	and	zoom	for	the	lens.	
•	 The	following	lenses	need	calibration:	
	 NP16FL,	NP17ZL,	NP18ZL,	NP19ZL,	NP20ZL,	NP21ZL,	
NP31ZL

Note on Startup screen (Menu Language Select screen)
When	you	first	turn	on	the	projector,	you	will	get	the	Startup	menu.	This	menu	gives	you	the	opportunity	to	select	one	
of	the	29	menu	languages.
To select a menu language, follow these steps:
1. Use the ▲, ▼, ◀ or ▶	button	to	select	one	of	the	29	
languages	from	the	menu.
 
2. Press the ENTER button to e xecute the selection.
After	this	has	been	done,	you	can	proceed	to	the	menu	
operation.
If	you	want,	you	can	select	the	menu	language	later.
(→	[LANGUAGE]	on	page	82	and	112)
 
NOTE: 
•	 If	one	of	the	following	things	happens,	the	projector	will	not	turn	on.
-	 If	the	internal	temperature	of	the	projector	is	too	high,	the	projector	detects	abnormal	high	temperature.	In	this	condition	the	
projector	will	not	turn	on	to	protect	the	internal	system.	If	this	happens,	wait	for	the	projector’s	internal	components	to	cool	
down.
-	 If	the	STATUS	indicator	lights	orange	with	the	power	button	pressed,	it	means	that	the	[CONTROL	PANEL	LOCK]	is	turned	on.	
Cancel	the	lock	by	turning	it	off.	(→ page 124)
•	 While	the	POWER	indicator	is	blinking	blue	in	short	cycles,	the	power	cannot	be	turned	off	by	using	the	power	button.	(While	the	
POWER	indicator	is	blinking	blue	in	long	cycles,	the	OFF	TIMER	is	functioned	and	the	power	can	be	turned	off.)

Detecting the Signal Automatically
Press	the	SOURCE	button	for	1	second	or	longer.	The	projector	will	
search	for	the	available	input	source	and	display	it.	The	input	source	will	
change	as	follows:	
HDMI	→	DisplayPort	→	BNC	→	BNC(CV)	→	BNC(Y/C)	→	COMUPTER	
→	HDBaseT	→	SLOT	→ …
•	 Press	it	briefly	to	display	the	[INPUT]	screen.	
	 Press	the	▼/▲	buttons	to	match	the	target	input	terminal	and	then	
press	the	ENTER	button	to	switch	the	input.	To	delete	the	menu	display	
in	the	[INPUT]	screen,	press	the	MENU	or	EXIT	button.
TIP:	If	no	input	signal	is	present,	the	input	will	be	skipped.

	 The	[DEFAULT	INPUT	SELECT]	screen	will	be	displayed.
 (→	page	132)
5.	 Select	a	source	as	the	default	source,	and	press	the	ENTER	button.
6. Press the EXIT button three times to close the menu.
7. Restart the projector.
	 The	source	you	selected	in	step	5	will	be	projected.
NOTE:	Even	when	[AUTO]	is	turned	on,	the	[HDBaseT]	will	not	be	automatically	selected.	To	set	your	network	as	the	default	source,	
select	[HDBaseT].
TIP:	
•	 When	the	projector	is	in	Standby	mode,	applying	a	computer	signal	from	a	computer	connected	to	the	COMPUTER	IN	input	will	
power	on	the	projector	and	simultaneously	project	the	computer’s	image.
	 ([AUTO	POWER	ON	SELECT]	→ page 135)
•	 On	the	Windows	7	keyboard,	a	combination	of	the	Windows	and	P	keys	allows	you	to	set	up	external	display	easily	and	quickly.

Adjusting the vertical position of a projected image (Lens shift)
 CAUTION
•	 Perform	the	adjustment	from	behind	or	from	the	side	of	the	projector.	Performing	adjustment	from	the	front	could	
expose	your	eyes	to	strong	light	which	could	injure	them.
•	 Keep	hands	away	from	the	lens	mounting	portion	while	perfor ming	a	lens	shift.	Failure	to	do	so	could	result	in	
fingers	being	pinched	by	the	moving	lens.
NOTE:
•	 The	lens	shift	function	is	not	available	on	the	projector	with	either		NP16FL	or	NP39ML	lens	installed.	
	 For	using	NP16FL,	set	back	the	lens	to	the	home	position.
	 For	using	NP39ML,	select	[SETUP]	→	[INSTALLATION(2)]	→	[LENS	POSITION]	→	[TYPE]	on	the	onscreen	menu,	the	lens	will	
be	moved	to	the	appropriate	position	automatically.
•	 Shifting	the	lens	to	the	maximum	in	oblique	angle	will	cause	the	edges	of	the	image	to	become	dark	or	will	cause	dark	shadows.
Adjusting with buttons on the cabinet
1. Press the LENS SHIFT/HOME POSITION button.
	 The	[LENS	SHIFT]	screen	will	be	displayed.
