..................................................When Unit is Unused for a Long Time
Prolonged disuse of the unit may effect an error on the 
functions. Turn on the power occasionally and operate the 
unit.
..................................................Usage Environment
zAvoid direct exposure of screen to direct sunlight and 
illumination. Block light using a curtain. Images can be 
well projected by darkening the brightness of the room.
zDo not use this unit in rooms with cigarette smoke or oily 
smoke. This may cause the unit to malfunction.
..................................................Parts Replacement
This unit contains parts (optical part, cooling fan, etc.) that 
require replacement to maintain its functioning. The 
estimated time for parts replacement varies greatly 
depending on the usage and environment. Please consult 
your authorized dealer for replacement.
..................................................Maintenance Procedures
Dirt on the cabinet
zGently clean dirt on the cabinet with a soft cloth ; the 
supplied cleaning cloth or other similar cloths. In the case 
of heavy soiling, soak a cloth in water, wring dry and wipe, 
followed by wiping again with a dry cloth.
Pay attention to the following as the cabinet may 
deteriorate in condition or paint may come off.
•Do not wipe with thinner or benzene
•Do not spray volatile chemicals like insecticide
•Do not allow prolonged contact with rubber or plastic 
products
Dirt in the air inlets
zUse a vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt. Otherwise, use 
a cloth to wipe off the dirt. If dirt is allowed to accumulate 
in the air inlets, the internal temperature cannot be 
adjusted and this may cause a malfunction.
Dirt on the lens
zClean the dirt using commercial blowers or lens cleaning 
papers for cleaning glasses and cameras.
Do not use fluid-type cleaning agents. This may lead to 
peeling of the surface coating film.
..................................................Transporting this Unit
Before transporting or shipping this unit, attach the buffer 
material on the top and bottom of the lens for protection. 
Failure to do so may subject the lens to shock causing 
damage.

Measures to prevent the unit from toppling or dropping should be taken for safety reasons and accident prevention 
during emergencies including earthquakes.
When mounting this unit on a pedestal or ceiling, remove the 4 feet on the bottom surface and use all the 4 screw 
holes (M5 screws) to mount.
.........................................................................................................Precautions for Mounting
zSpecial expertise and techniques are required for 
mounting this unit. Be sure to ask your dealer or a 
specialist to perform mounting.
zDepth of the screw holes (screw length) is 30 mm. Use 
screws shorter than 30 mm but longer than 19 mm. 
Using other screws will result in malfunctioning or 
cause the unit to drop.
zWhen mounting to a pedestal, ensure sufficient space 
(foot height of 21.5 mm or higher) around the unit so that 
the air inlets are not blocked.
zDo not tilt this unit more than ±5 degrees from side to side 
when using. This may result in uneven colors or shortening 
of lamp life.
zRegardless whether the unit is still under guarantee, 
Pioneer is not liable for any product damage caused by 
mounting the unit with non-Pioneer ceiling fittings or when 
the environment is not suitable for ceiling-mount.
zWhen using the unit hanging from a ceiling, pay attention 
to the surrounding temperature. When a heater is in use, 
temperature around the ceiling is higher than expected.
