Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a flat surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the projection screen is rectangular .
If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted \
to be rectangular by adjusting the adjustable feet. The adjustable feet 
can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted i\
n a horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the figure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.
Adjustable amount
Front adjustable feet: 30 mm (1-3/16)
Attention
r
f Hot air is expelled from the air exhaust port when the lamp is on. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when adjusting the adjustable 
feet. (

Chapter 2 Getting Started — Removing/attaching the projection lens
Removing/attaching the projection lens
Attach and remove the projection lens in the same way as a standard zoom\
 lens and optional accessories.
Move the projection lens to the home position before replacing or removing the lens (
x page 46).
Attention
r
f Replace the projection lens after turning off the power of the projector.
r
f Do not touch the lens signal receiver. Dust or dirt may cause defective contact.
r
f Do not touch the lens surface with bare hands.
r
f Before attaching the projection lens, remove the lens cover attached to \
the projection lens.
r
f The procedure to remove/attach a projection lens cover differs for the ultra-short focus zoom lens (ET-DLE080/ET-DLE085). Refer to the 
user manual provided with ET-DLE080/ET-DLE085 for details.
Removing the projection lens
Remove the projection lens in the following procedure.
1) Turn the projection lens cover 
counterclockwise to remove.

Connections
Before connecting to the projector
r
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
r
f Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
r
f Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is either not supplied with the device or not 
available as an option.
r
f Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base 
corrector (TBC) must be connected.
r
f The projector accepts video signals, S video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are 
TTL level), and digital signals.
r
f Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
r
f Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly
.
r
f Refer to “List of compatible signals” (
x page 125) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector\

Connecting example: AV equipment
VCR (with built-in  TBC)
DVD player with attached 
HDMI terminal (HDCP )
or
Blu-ray disc player
Attention
r
f Always use one of the following when connecting a VCR.
r
g A VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC)
r
g A time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR
r
f If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the 
projector and the VCR.
r
f Use a commercial HDMI/DVI cable with a ferrite core.
Note
r
f The  terminal can be connected to HDMI- or DVI-D-compliant devices. However
, images may not appear or may not be 
displayed properly on some devices. ( x page 70)
r
f Use an HDMI cable that conforms to HDMI standards such as an HDMI High Speed cable. If a cable that does not meet HDMI standards is 
used, video may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
r
f The  terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with a DVI-D terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion 
cable, but some devices may not project the image properly or function p\
roperly.
r
f When the DVI-D signal is input, EDID setting may be required depending on the connected device (
x page 70).
r
f The projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI).

r
f The  terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with a DVI-D terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion 
cable, but some devices may not project the image properly or function p\
roperly.
r
f The  terminal supports single link only.
r
f For signals that the projector can project, refer to “List of compatible signals” (
x page 125).
r
f If you operate the projector using the computer with the resume feature (last memory), you may have to reset the resume feature to operate 
the projector.
r
f When the SYNC ON GREEN signal is input, do not enter sync signals to the  terminal or the  terminal.
r
f When the DVI-D signal is input, EDID setting may be required depending on the connected device (
