This	 projector 	 uses 	 nominal 	 input 	 voltages 	 of 	 100–120 	 V 	 or 	 200–
240 	 V 	 AC 	 and 	 it 	 automatically 	 selects 	 the 	 correct 	 input 	 voltage. 	
It
	 is 	 designed 	 to 	 work 	 with 	 single-phase 	 power 	 systems 	 having 	 a 	
grounded
	 neutral 	 conductor. 	 To 	 reduce 	 the 	 risk 	 of 	 electrical 	 shock, 	
do not plug into any other type of power system.
If you are not sure of the type of power being supplied, consult 
your authorized dealer or service station.
Connect	 the 	 projector 	 with 	 all 	 peripheral 	 equipment 	 before 	 turning 	
on the projector. 
Installation
NOTE ON THE POWER CORD
AC	 power 	 cord 	 must 	 meet 	 the 	 requirements 	 of 	 the 	 country 	 where 	 you 	 use 	 the 	 projector.
Confirm 	 the 	 AC 	 plug 	 type 	 with 	 the 	 chart 	 below 	 and 	 proper 	 AC 	 power 	 cord 	 must 	 be 	 used.

Basic Operation
What is PIN code?
PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code that 
allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting a 
PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the projector. 
A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code 
lock function in the Setting Menu on page 59-60 for locking operation 
of the projector with your PIN code.
CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE
If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer 
be started. Take a special care in setting a new PIN 
code; write down the number in a column on page 84 of 
this manual and keep it on hand. Should the PIN code 
be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service 
center.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the 
STAND-BY button on the remote control, and Power off? 
appears on the screen.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the side control or the 
STAND-BY button on the remote control again to turn off the 
projector. The LAMP indicator lights bright and the POWER 
indicator turns off. After the projector is turned off, the cooling 
fans operate for 90 seconds. You cannot turn on the projector 
during this cooling down period.
1

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE YOU 
TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT LEAST FIVE 
MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT OFF.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE AC POWER CORD WHILE 
COOLING FANS ARE RUNNING OR BEFORE THE 
POWER INDICATOR LIGHTS GREEN AGAIN.
OTHERWISE IT WILL RESULT IN SHORTENING OF 
THE LAMP LIFE.
When the projector has cooled down enough, the POWER 
indicator lights green and then you can turn on the projector. 
To unplug the AC power cord, wait until the projector is 
completely cooled down.
Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.
Note:
	 •	 When	the	On	start	function	is	set	to	On,	the	projector	
will	be	turned	on	automatically	by	connecting	the	 AC	
power	cord	to	an	 AC	outlet	(p.58).
	 •	 The	running	speed	of	cooling	fans	is	changed	 according	to	the	temperature	inside	the	projector.
	 •	 Do	not	put	the	projector	in	a	case	before	the	projector	 is	cooled	enough.
	 •	 If	the	WARNING	TEMP.	indicator	blinks	red,	see	 “Warning	Indicators”	on	page	69.
	 •	 The	projector	cannot	be	turned	on	during	the	cooling	 period	with	the	POWER	indicator	turned	off.	 You	can	
turn	it	on	again	after	the	POWER	indicator	becomes	
green	again.
DO NOT OPERATE THE PROJECTOR CONTINUOUSLY 
WITHOUT REST. CONTINUOUS USE MAY RESULT 
IN SHORTENING THE LAMP LIFE. TURN OFF THE 
PROJECTOR AND LET STAND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR 
IN EVERY 24 HOURS.
