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 the projector on.
