operating the projector.  Usage in these environments may
cause poor image quality.
When using under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate
on the liquid crystal panel, lens, or optical elements inside it.  This
condition may degrade the quality of the projected image.
When the above symptoms are noticed, contact your authorized
dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Pull out the air filter from the projector.
Pulling up the center frame of the air filter top, separate the air
filter top and sponge from the air filter base.
Clean the each parts with brush or wash out the dust and
