Chapter 1 Preparation
This chapter describes things you need to know or check before using the projector.  
						

							14 - ENGLISH
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
r
f The projection lens is susceptible to effects from vibration or impact. Make sure to remove the projection lens when transporting.
Also, use a protection cover or the like to prevent dust from affecting the projection lens or the set.
r
f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage the internal 
parts and result in malfunctions.
r
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
r
r Always attach the projection lens cover after attaching the projection l\
ens.
If the cover is not attached, dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
r
r Do not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
r
r Do not set up the projector in the following locations.
r
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal parts or malfunction.
r
f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due to the hot air from 
the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air 
conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
r
f Near lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations of great temperature fluctuation (“Operating environment” (
x page 129)): Doing so may 
shorten the life of the lamp or result in deformation of the outer case \
and malfunctions.
r
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector
.
r
f Place where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP
 chips.
r
r Be sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing t\
he product to a ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the ceiling, purchase an optional Ceiling Mount 
Attachment.
Model No.: ET-PKD56H (for high ceilings), ET-PKD55S (for low ceilings)
r
r Lens focus
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in \
the period just after 
switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the lens focus.
r
r Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector at elevations of 
1 400 m (4 593 ft) or higher and lower than 2 700 m (8 858 ft) above s\
ea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfun\
ctions.
r
r Make sure to set [HIGH ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector at elevations 
lower than 1 400 m (4 593 ft) above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfun\
ctions.
r
r Do not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858 ft) or hi\
gher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal parts and result in malfun\
ctions.
r
r Do not use the projector tilted to the right or left
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
r
r When installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30° \
vertically, set [COOLING 
CONDITION] (
x page 76).
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or shorten the life of the lamp or other components.
r
r Cautions when setting up the projector
r
f To install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a floor standing installation, fix the projector using the 
five screw holes for ceiling mounting (Fig. 1).
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the set: 12 mm (15/32"), torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m)  
						

							ENGLISH - 15
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
r
f Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using it for other purposes may damage the set.

r
f Do not stack projectors on top of each other.
r
f Do not hold the projector by the top surface.
r
f Do not use the projector tilted at an angle that exceeds ± 15° from the horizontal plane.
r
f Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector
.
r
f Prevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system from blowing directly to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector
.

r
f Do not install the projector in a confined space.
When it is necessary to install the projector in a confined space, install the air conditioning or ventilation separately
. Exhaust heat may 
accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector .
r
f Make a clearance of at least 20 mm (0.8") between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting spacers (metallic) etc. between 
them.

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for corre\
ct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
Cautions on use
r
r To get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn of
f 
any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor\
 lamps from shining onto the screen.
r
r Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. 
Please put the lens cover (accessory) on the projector when you do not use it.
r
r DLP chips
r
f The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that such 
phenomena does not indicate malfunction. This is not a malfunction.
r
f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP
 chips.
r
r Do not move the projector while it is operating or subject it to vibrati\
on or impact.
Doing so may shorten the service life of its internal components.
r
r Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
r
f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
r
f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to cumulative 
operating time.
r
f The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, frequently switching the power on/off 
accelerates lamp deterioration and greatly affects lamp life.
r
f Continuous use for one week or longer accelerates lamp deterioration. Lamp relay function (
x page 77) can be used to reduce 
deterioration caused by continuous use.
r
f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
r
f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit regularly
.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” ( x page 114), “Replacing the lamp unit” (
x page 114))
r
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
r
f It is recommended that you store replacement lamp units for contingency
.
r
r About connections to computer or peripheral device
r
f To assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions, which include using the provided power cord and shielded 
interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral device.
r
f Use a commercial DVI-D cable with a ferrite core.
