The above cycle is repeated.
• When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with built in TBC (time base corrector) or use the
time base corrector between the projector and the video deck.
• If burst signals are connected to the nonstandard signals, the image may be distorted.  If this is the case,
connect the time base corrector between the projector and the video deck.

• Use the SYSTEM SELECTOR button to select the input module that meets desired one of the above four
types of signal specifications.  While toggling through those four types, input signal and other information
are displayed and cleared on the screen automatically.
• Normally, use SYSTEM SELECTOR in “AUTO”.
• Automatic detection may malfunction if connection is made in any other way than listed above or if any
unstable signal is connected.  If this happens, switch to a system that is compatible with the signal format
using the SYSTEM SELECTOR button.
• Use a 3C2W or superior cable for connection to transmit the image information without error.

Powering up the projector
Connect the supplied power cable. 
(120 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz)
Press the “I” marked side of the MAIN
POWER switch to turn on the power.
The power indicator lamp on the projector will flash
in red.  After a short period, the indicator will
illuminate and the projector will enter standby
mode.
Press the “l” button. [on the main unit
or the remote control]
The power indicator lamp illuminates in green and
soon the image is projected on the screen.
Making adjustment and
selection
Roughly adjust the focus of the lens. 
(Refer to page 41.)
Press the LENS button on the main unit or the
remote control unit to display a focus adjustment
screen.  Pressing  buttons to adjust
the image into focus.
Select and set the projection scheme. 
(Refer to page 70.)
Select the input signal by pressing the
input selector button to toggle through
RGB1, RGB2, VIDEO, S-VIDEO and
AUX. [on the main unit or the remote
control]
Adjust the tilt of the main unit in front
and rear or right and left. 
(Refer to page 18.)
• If the projector is powered up at about 0˚C, a warm-
up period of approximately five minutes may be
necessary to start projection.
The temperature monitor (TEMP) lamp flashes during
the warm-up period.
When the warm-up is completed, the temperature
monitor (TEMP) lamp turns off and the image is
projected on the screen.
• If this happens, raise the surrounding temperature to
0°C or higher and then turn the main power “on” and
turn the power “on” (|).
• The AUX button is disabled when an optional input
module is not connected.

orange. The cooling fan keeps running still after
the projection stopped.)
Wait until the power indicator lamp of
the main unit turns to red (i.e., until the
cooling fan stops). 
While the cooling fan is still running, never turn off
the MAIN POWER switch, nor unplug the projector
from the outlet.
Press the “O” marked side of the MAIN
POWER switch to remove all power
