About the Air Filter
• If the air filter becomes blocked, the temperature inside the projector rises and the lamp will fail to light. Clean the air filter
about once every 6 months. Cleaning will be required more frequently if used in a particularly dusty environment.
• When the air filter becomes hard to clean, it is ready to be changed. Purchase a new air filter. (One filter is supplied with the
projector.)
Cleaning the Air Filter
Maintenance and Care
1Unplug the power cable from
the socket.
2Remove the filter holder from
the projector.
Remove the filter holder from the bottom of the
projector.
3 Detach the air filter.
4Clean the air filter.
Use a vacuum cleaner to suck the dust from both
sides of the filter. If the filter is very dirty, wash in
cold or lukewarm water containing a neutral detergent
and dry away from direct sunlight.
5Fit the air filter.
Fit the air filter back in the filter holder.
6Fit the filter holder in the projec-
tor.
Insert the catch on the filter holder in the bottom of
the projector and press until it clicks into place.
Take care not to
break the clasp on
the filter holder.

Care of the cabinet
Wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a cloth that has been soaked in neutral detergent diluted
with water and wrung out well. Finish with a dry cloth.
Care of the lens
Clean the lens with a commercially available blower or cleaning paper. Use of tissues, etc. may damage the lens. As the surface of
the lens is easily damaged, do not rub or hit with anything hard.
Changing the Lamp
• When the lamp reaches the end of its service life, the image becomes dark and the colors lose their vividness. When this happens,
change the lamp unit.
• When the “Approaching Recommended Lamp Life!” message appears, change the lamp unit.
• After removing the old lamp unit, handle with care to avoid breakage. Dispose of as industrial waste.
• Be sure to initialize the lamp timer after changing the lamp unit.
 WARNING
• Do not remove any screws other than those specified (  mark).
The high voltage and high temperature inside the projector may lead to electric shock or burns if touched.
• When changing the lamp unit, be sure to replace with a new lamp unit. Use of a used or second-hand lamp unit may lead to
breakage or failure of the lamp.

Troubleshooting
PC Output Signal
The projector has been designed with the RGB signals listed on page 39 in mind. Depending on your PC, the RGB signals output
may be different from the design values. In particular, when the internal LCD panel of the notebook PC and external CRT are set
on simultaneous display, the RGB signal output may be outside the compatible range. In this case, it may not be possible to display
the image normally. Set the PC to “external CRT only” display mode.

• * indicates simple display. It is not suitable for DIGITAL RGB input.
• No image may appear even if the resolution and frequency mentioned above are the same.
•PC display mode
When an image signal is input from a PC, the projector automatically selects the mode (resolution and frequency) and projects
the picture according to that mode.
The projector fundamentally conforms to VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards, but depending on the type
of PC, a non-VESA signal may be output. In such cases, the projected image will not be correctly displayed, the overall picture
will be blue in color, and the [NO SIGNAL] message will be displayed on the screen. In this case, reset the image signal from the
PC to another compatible mode. For details, refer to the above table and the instruction manual for the PC.
