Specifications subject to change without notice.
*1: The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of m\
illions of pixels. This panel is built with very highprecision technolo gy designed to pr ovide one of the finest possible images. Occasionally ,a few pixels may r emain turned on (bright) or turned off (dark). Please
n ote that this is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing techno\
logy that affects all products using LCD technology.
*2: The pr ojector uses a highvoltage mer cury lamp that contains high inter nal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illu
minate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes \
for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on
individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
*3: In AI mode
*4: Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shift\
ing.
*5: Lens and legs not included.

Calculation of the pr ojection distance
For a screen size dif ferent from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance.
16 :9 minimum  L(m) = (diagonal scr een size in inches) x 0.0311  0.056
maximum  L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0621  0.056

Notes on Projector Placement and Operation 
The projector uses a highwattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation.\
 Please observe the
following precautions.
1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 200 mm or more around the projector’s air intake openings.
3. If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, ensure the temperature of the air surrounding the projector is between 0°C/32°F and 35°C/95°F. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust
openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is
not sucked into the intake openings.
Operating the Projector Continuously
1.  If the projector is to be operated continuously 10 hours or more, lamp replacement cycle durationbecomes shorter. 
2.  The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
Direction of Air Intake and Exhaust Computer Data Compatibility
This projector accepts up to 70 kHz horizontal scanning frequency and 108 MHz dot clock.
See the list of compatible signals on the next page for details.
NOTE:  The display resolution of this projector is 1280 x 720 pixels. If the display resolution indicated in the above data does not match this reso
lution, the input signal will be converted to 1280 x 720 pixels (16:9 a\
spect ratio) or 960 x 720 pixels (4:3 aspect ratio).
