• No command can be sent or received for 10 to 60 seconds after the lamp starts lighting. Try sending
any command after that period has elapsed.
• When sending several commands, be sure to wait for more than 0.5 seconds after receiving a
response from the projector, and then send the next command. When sending commands without
parameters, a colon (:) is not necessary.Attention
• If an unworkable command is received, the projector will send an “ER401” response to the computer.
• If an invalid command is received, the projector will send an “ER402” response to the computer.
• Projector ID supported on the RS-232C interface is ZZ (ALL) and a group of 1 to 64 and 0A to 0Z.
• 
If a command is sent with a projector ID specified, the projector will return answer back only in the following cases:
if it coincides with the projector ID,
ID specification is ALL and VPS-SYSTEM is the master, or
ID specification is group and Group is the master.
• In the hexadecimal format, STX has the character code 02 and ETX the character code 03.

Indication of lamp monitor
This projector is equipped with 3 indicators to show when a lamp needs replacement or there is an abnormal
internal temperature. These lamps flash or light up to indicate a problem.
Turn the power off and follow the steps below.
Temperature monitor (TEMP) Lamp 1 monitor (LAMP 1) Lamp 2 monitor (LAMP 2) (Power indicator)
• To solve any problems that the TEMP and LAMP monitor show, first turn the power off by
following the steps on pages 24, 25.
• 
If the power indicator blinks in red (3 times), the projector has malfunctioned. Please consult your dealer.
• If the power indicator flashes red (once), the lamp unit cover is not properly fitted. Check the fitting
of the lamp unit cover.

Cleaning and replacement of air filter
If too much dust accumulates on the air filter, [CLEAN THE AIR FILTER]* appears at the lower left of the screen,
and the temperature monitor (TEMP) will blink once. If even more dust is allowed to accumulate, the temperature
inside the main unit will rise, the temperature monitor (TEMP) will blink twice, and the power is turned off.
Clean the air filter section once every 100 hours or so as a guideline depending on the location of projector
operation.
* It appears only for 30 seconds within 3 minutes after the power is turned on. It disappears if any of the buttons on
the rear side of the main unit or on the remote control is pressed.
Procedure of cleaning
Turn off the main power and remove the power plug from the receptacle.
Turn off the main power supply observing the procedure (Powering off the projector) on page 25 and then
remove the power plug.
Dismantle the air filter.
There are two air filters, one at the left and one at the right.
Use your finger to pull the air filter tab toward you, and remove it from the main unit.
Set the air filter.
Set the air filter in the reverse order to step  .
Clean the air filter.
Suck off deposited dust with a vacuum cleaner.
• Do not to suck in the air filter itself.
• Do not rinse off the air filter with water.  Doing so will impair the filter’s ability to provide
protection from dust.Attention
• Fit the air filters into place with the filter material facing the back.
(The left and right filters have the same shape.)
• The air filter must be fitted in place when using the projector.
Using the projector without the air filter fitted inside, dirt and dust are sucked into the projector,
causing failure.Attention
• If cleaning cannot remove the dust completely, then it is a sign to replace the air filter. Consult the
dealer. In addition, when the lamp unit is replaced, also replace the air filter.
• Be absolutely sure to use the air filter specifically designed for use with the projector.Note

Replacing the lamp unit
Precautions on lamp unit replacement
Remove the power plug and confirm that the surroundings of the lamp unit have cooled off.
Be careful when handling a light source lamp. The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly handled,
explosion might result.
A used lamp unit may burst if it is handled violently.
For disposition of used lamps, request an industrial waste disposal contractor.
If you continue to use a lamp after the replacement time, the lamp may break.
Phillips screwdriver is necessary when replacing a lamp unit.
Take care not to slip your hand when using a screwdriver.
WARNING!
When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before handling it.
• The lamp cover gets very hot, and touching it can cause burns.
Make sure that two lamp units are always installed.
• It is not possible to turn on the power unless two lamp units are installed.
• A lamp unit is an optional part. Contact the dealer.
Replacement lamp unit model No.: ET-LAD57 (single bulb), ET-LAD57W (double bulbs)
• Other lamps than specified above cannot be used. Be sure to use the specified lamp.Note
When to replace the Lamp unit
The lamp units are consumable parts. The lamp brightness decreases gradually as the cumulative operating
time increases, so periodic replacement is necessary. The replacement guideline is 2 000 hours*1, although the
lamp may become dead (will not light) before 2 000 hours*1is reached depending on the characteristics of
individual lamps and other factors such as the operating conditions and the installation environment. Therefore,
it is recommended for the user to keep a spare lamp unit.
The risk of the lamp bursting increases after 2 000 hours*
1of operation, so the lamp unit turns off automatically.
*1This is the operating time if the lamp has only been used at the LAMP POWER “HIGH” setting. If the lamp
has only been used at the LAMP POWER “LOW” setting, the operating time is 3 000 hours. When the lamp
has been switched from LAMP POWER “HIGH” to “LOW”, the cumulative operating time from the
conversion formula below will be 2 000 hours. 
Lamp operating time = LAMP POWER “HIGH” operating time + (LAMP POWER “LOW” operating time x 2 ÷3).
*2This is the operating time if the lamp has only been used at the LAMP POWER “HIGH” setting. If the lamp
has only been used at the LAMP POWER “LOW” setting, the operating time is 2 700 hours. When the lamp
has been switched from LAMP POWER “HIGH” to “LOW”, the cumulative operating time from the
conversion formula below will be 1 800 hours.
Lamp operating time = LAMP POWER “HIGH” operating time + (LAMP POWER “LOW” operating time x 2 ÷3).
After 
1 800 hours*2
The indication appears for 30
seconds or until any control button
is pressed.On-screen indication
After 
2 000 hours*
1The indication will not disappear
unless a control button is pressed.The lamp monitor lights up red
even in standby mode.

• Firmly install the lamp unit and lamp
unit cover. If not installed firmly, a
protection circuit will function and the
power will not be turned on.Attention
• The lamp units are constructed in such
a way that the screws in steps  and
will not fall through completely.Note
Caution
The lamp unit will be hot after it has
been used.
You might get burned if you touch it while it is
still hot.
