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  pages  56-57  for 
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.
Enter a PIN code
Use  the  Point ▲▼  buttons  to  enter  a  number.  Press  the 
Point ►  button  to  fix  the  number  and  move  the  red  frame 
pointer  to  the  next  box.  The  number  changes  to .  If  you 
fixed  an  incorrect  number,  use  the  Point ◄  button  to  move 
the  pointer  to  the  number  you  want  to  correct,  and  then 
enter the correct number.
Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number.
After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to Set. 
Press  the  SELECT  button  so  that  you  can  start  to  operate 
the projector.
If  you  entered  an  incorrect  PIN  code, PIN  code  and  the 
number  (   )  will  turn  red  for  a  moment.  Enter  the 
correct PIN code all over again.
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  79  of  this  manual  and  keep  it 
on  hand.  Should  the  PIN  code  be  missing  or 
forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
After the OK icon disappears, 
you can operate the projector.  
PIN Code Input Dialog Box
Note:
 
•   If the PIN code number is not entered within 
three minutes after the PIN code dialog box 
appeared, the projector will be turned off 
automatically.

The  "1234"  is  set  as  the  initial  PIN  code  at 
the factory.

TO MAINTAIN THE LIFE OF THE LAMP, ONCE 
YOU TURN THE PROJECTOR ON, WAIT AT 
LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT 
OFF.
Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.
Turning Off the Projector
Press the ON/STAND-BY button on the top control or 
on the remote control, and Power off? appears on the 
screen.
Press the ON/STAND-BY button again to turn off the 
projector. The POWER indicator starts to blink red, and 
the cooling fans keep running (You can select the level 
of fans’ quietness and speed. See "Fan" on page 58.). 
At this time, you can unplug the AC power cord even if 
the fans are still running.
1
2
3When the projector has cooled down enough, the 
POWER indicator stops blinking and you can turn on 
the projector. 
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.54).
 
•
 
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 indicator blinks or lights red, see 
"WARNING indicator" on page 61.
 
•
 
While the POWER indicator is blinking, the lamp is being 
cooled down and the projector cannot be turned on. Wait 
until  the  POWER  indicator  stops  blinking  to  turn  on  the 
projector again.
  •
 
The  fan  rotation  will  terminate  directly  if  the  AC  power 
cord  is  unplugged  immediately  after  the  projector  is 
turned off.
  •
 
The  projector  can  be  turned  on  after  the  POWER 
indicator  turns  red.  The  waiting  time  to  restart  will  be 
shortened when the normal power-off processing for fan 
cooling  is  completed,  compared  with  the  time  the  AC 
power  cord  is  immediately  unplugged  after  the  power-
off. 
Basic Operation
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.
