Notes on use
To view clear images:
●  The audience cannot enjoy high-contrast and clear images if outside light or the illumination interferes the 
screen surface. Draw window curtains or blinds, turn off the lightings near the screen or take other proper 
measures.
●  In rare cases, wafture can occur on the screen affected by the warm air from the exhaust port depending on 
the environment. Make sure that there is no equipment in front of the set which will recirculate the exhaust 
air from the set or other nearby equipment.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with bare hand.
If fingerprints or stains are left on the projection lens surface, they are magnified and projected on the screen. 
Keep your hands away from the lens. Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap when the projector is not used.
Screen
If the screen has stains, flaws or discoloration, clear images cannot be viewed. When handling the screen, be 
careful not to apply volatile substances or leave flaws or stains on the screen.
Lamp
A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used for the light source of this product. A high-pressure mercury 
lamp has the following characteristics:
●  It may burst with a loud sound or end its life cycle by not illuminating because of given impacts, flaws, or 
deterioration due to used hours.
●  The life cycle of a mercury lamp varies according to the individual difference or conditions of use. In 
particular, turning the power on and off frequently and/or repeatedly will greatly affect the life cycle.
●  In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first lighting.
●  The possibility of burst increases when the lamp is used beyond the replacement time.
 
Maintenance
Be sure to remove the power cord plug from the receptacle before cleaning.
● Use soft and dry cloth to clean the cabinet
Use a soft cloth moistened in warm water to clean away oil. If a chemical wipe is used, follow its 
instructions.
● Do not clean the lens surface with fuzzy or dusty cloth.
If dust adheres to the lens, it will be magnified and projected on the screen. Use a soft and clean cloth to 
wipe off dust.
Disposal
To discard the product, call the dealer or a specialized dealer.

Loading batteries
When loading supplied AA batteries into the battery 
compartment of the Remote Control, make sure that 
their polarities are correct.
1.  Open battery compartment lid.
Open the lid in the order # and then $.
2. Insert the batteries.
Into battery compartment, with their polarities 
orientated as indicated (
+, –) in the 
compartment.
3.  Close the battery compartment 
lid.
Replace the battery compartment lid over the 
compartment and slide until it clicks.
Attention
Do not drop the Remote Control unit.
Do not expose Remote Control unit to any liquid.
Do not use NiCd batteries.
Release the LOCK button before operating the 
remote control. (p. 13)•

  Effective range of remote 
control operation
The Remote Control should normally be aimed at 
either the front or rear remote control receiver window 
on the projector (figure 1).
The effective control range is approx. 30 metres from 
the beam receiver on the front or rear.
Otherwise, it may also be aimed at the screen, which 
will reflect commands back to the projector’s front 
receiver window as illustrated in figure 2.
When the Remote Control is aimed at the screen, 
the effective control range may be reduced due to 
the optical loss by screen reflection.

Note
The Remote Control may not function properly if an 
object is in the light path.
The Remote Control receiver may not function 
properly in intense ambient light such as fluorescent 
lamps. Carefully site the projector so its Remote 
Control receiver windows will not be directly 
exposed to intense light.
  Setting projector ID 
number to remote control
Every projector has its ID number and the ID number 
of the controlling projector must be set to the remote 
control in advance so that the user can operate 
the remote control. (p. 75) The ID number of the 
projector is set to “ALL” on shipping, and use the 
ID ALL button of the remote control when using 
only a single projector.
1.  Press ID SET, and then within 
5 seconds, press the two 
numeric (0-9) buttons which 
correspond to the ID number that 
has been set for the projector.
Attention
Do not press the ID SET button accidentally or 
carelessly because the ID number on the Remote 
Control can be set even when no projector is 
around.
If you do not enter the two-digit ID number within 
5 seconds after the ID SET button has been 
pressed, the ID number will remain at the number 
that was set before the ID SET button was pressed.
Your specified ID number is stored in the remote 
control unit unless another one is specified later. 
However, the stored ID will be erased if the batteries 
of the remote control are left exhausted. When the 
batteries are replaced, set the same ID number 
again. •
•

•
Using a  wired remote 
control
When multiple main units are connected as part of 
the system, connect to units with a M3 stereo mini 
jack cable (sold separately) to simultaneously control 
multiple main units with a single remote control 
through the REMOTE1 IN/OUT terminal. It is effective 
to use the wired remote control in the environment in 
which an obstacle stands in the light path or where 
devices are susceptible to outside light.
Attention
Use a two-wire shielded cable with a length of 15 m 
or less. If the length of the cable exceeds 15 m, the 
shielding of the cable may not be sufficient and the 
remote control may not work. •

Examples of system expansion
The projector is provided with a number of terminals and optional accessories to enable various system 
expansions. Both input and output are provided to all terminals on the main unit.
The following are some examples of system expansion:
Installation
System 1
The optional high- or low-ceiling mount bracket flexibly fits the projector in 
individual site conditions.
System 2
Connection to a computer via the DVI-D IN terminal or DVI-D input module 
(optional).

  Adjusting the feet
The four adjustable feet mounted at the bottom of the projector are level-adjustable (0 mm–15 mm) which can be 
used when the floor surface is not horizontal.
  Projection scheme
This projector can use any of the four projection schemes. Select the most suitable scheme to the situation of your 
location. Use the OPTION menu on the menu screen to choose the desired projection scheme. (
p. 76)
Installation geometry
When planning the projector and screen geometry, refer to the figures below and the information on the next page 
for reference. After the projector is roughly positioned, picture size and vertical picture positioning can be finely 
adjusted with the powered zoom lens and lens shifting mechanism.
