OPERATION
LAMPADJUST
Whenever you install a new lamp in the projector
you need to access the Lamp Adjust submenu and
record the lamp serial number in the projectors
memory. You can also set different Lamp submenu
options such as intensity (output) or power required.
These setups can be changed at any time. 
NOTE: See 2.2, Installing The Lensfor complete
instructions on installing a new lamp in the projec-
tor.
From the Advanced menu, select the Lamp Adjust option for access to the Lamp Adjustsub-
menu,...

OPERATION
Use the lamp mode that best suits your brightness needs. For example, in a tiled application you
may want to precisely match brightness levels between adjacent images-choose Intensity for each
projector, then judge by eye and set each individual intensity setting as necessary (see Constant
Intensity, below). Or you may simply always need as much brightness as possible-choose Max
Output.
Lamp modes are described below:
zMax Output:The lamp will always burn as brightly as possible, driven by...

OPERATION
Keep in mind that once the lamp power has reached its maximumof 700 watts (see Constant
Power, above), this tracking is no longer possible. At this point, the lamp will gradually begin
to dim as usual, even though your original Intensity value will still appear in the menu. To
resume accurate tracking, reduce the intensity setting so that the resulting Power value is under
700 watts (VX-4c) and 1200W (VX-6c) - the lower the intensity, the longer it can be maintained.
Do not lower the Intensity...

3.8  Error Conditions

Such a condition can be caused by an invalid user entry, an input signal error (most common) or
other system error.
If you would like to be notified on-screen of such errors, select the Screen option from the
Display Error Messages pull-down list (in OSD Settings menu). If you would like to be notified
via a serial communication only, select the RS-232...

System Errors
A system error message indicates that a serious malfunction has been detected and must be
reported to the manufacturer (see Status LED Codes, below). The projector will no longer oper-
ate and must be reset-power the projector down and up again with the         key.

Maintenance
4.1  Warnings and Guidelines
This projector is CSA approved and is designed for safe and reliable operation. However, safe
operation cannot be assured by design alone; installers, maintainers, and users must maintain a
safe operating environment for the system. Please read through and understand the following
warnings and guidelines promoting safe usage of the projector.
WARNING
Never look directly into the projector lens. 
The extremely high brightness of this projector
can cause permanent...

Lamp and Filter Replacement
LAMP:Do not operate the Xenon lamp for more than 1000 hours; risk of the lamp shattering
increases as a result of changes in the quartz glass. Also, operation beyond 1000 hours signifi-
cantly reduces brightness output.
WARNING
Never attempt to remove the lamp housing directly after use. 
The lamp is under great pressure when hot and may explode, 
causing personal injury and/or property damage. 
Allow to cool completely.
The arc lamp operates at a very high temperature and...

MAINTENANCE
The projector is equipped with a three wire plug having a third (grounding) prong. This is a safe-
ty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to have the
outlet replaced. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Ventilation
Before unplugging the power cord, make sure the internal lamp cooling fans have shut off. The
fans automatically shut off when the projector has adequately cooled down.
Slots and openings in the projector...
