List of compatible signals
The signals that can be input to this projector are shown in the table below. Horizontal scanning fre-
quencies of 15 kHz to 91 kHz, vertical scanning frequencies of 50 Hz to 85 Hz, and a dot clock of 
162 MHz maximum can be input.
NOTE: The native resolution of this projector is 1,280 × 800 pixels. If the display resolution of the input signal is different from the
native resolution, image compression or expansion will be used to convert the input signal to a level within the native resolution.

Serial connector
The serial connector complies with RS-232C. To control the projector from a personal computer, com-
mands must be input through communication software, based on the format and satisfying the commu-
nication conditions shown below.
Basic format
Transmission from the computer begins with STX, then the ID, command, parameter, and ETX are sent
in this order. Add parameters according to the details of control. Communication conditions (factory setting) Pin assignments and signal names

CAUTION
 It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this
occurs, wait for 60 seconds, then try sending or receiving again.
 When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector before
sending the next command.
 Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for com-
mand response to 10 seconds or more.
 When using two or more units:
1) Set different IDs for each unit.
2) Designate only one unit as RESPONSE (ID ALL) ON and the rest as RESPONSE (ID ALL) OFF.
3) Each group should have only one RESPONSE (ID GROUP) ON and the rest should be RESPONSE (ID GROUP) OFF.

* Do not send PON, POF or OSH commands continuously in a short period of time. Doing so may burst the lamp or shorten the lamp replacement
cycle.
* When a command that cannot be executed during standby mode is sent, the projector will send an ER401 command in reply.

Notes on projector placement and operation 
The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the
following precautions.
1. Never place objects on top of the projector.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (1 feet 8 inches) or more around the projec-
tor’s exhaust openings.
3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked)
projection. When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated below
between them. These space requirements also apply to installations where only one projector unit
is operating at one time and the other unit is used as a backup.
4. Make sure that nothing blocks the projector’s air intake and exhaust openings. Also, install the pro-
jector so that cool or hot air from other air conditioning equipment does not flow directly toward
the projector’s air intake or exhaust openings.
5. Do not install the projector in an enclosed space. If it is necessary to install it in an enclosed
space, add a separate ventilation system. If ventilation is insufficient, hot air will accumulate at the
intake opening. This may cause the projector’s protective circuit to interrupt projector operation.
6. If the projector is placed in a box, ensure that 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.
7. When installing the projector in any manner other than floor mounting with the adjuster legs, use
the five threaded ceiling mount holes (screw diameter: M6, projector interior thread length: 12 mm)
to secure the projector.

Operating the projector continuously
1.  If the projector is to be operated continuously for one week, use the dual-lamp optical systems alternat-
ing lamp operation (lamp relay) function. The projector cannot be operated continuously one week in
dual-lamp mode. Allow a minimum of two hours per day of non-operation time for each lamp if the pro-
jector is to be operated continuously for more than one week.
2.  The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short
periods.
