for portability, durability, and ease of use. It uses built-in
multimedia features, a palette of 1.07 billion colors, and matrix liquid\
 crystal display (LCD) technology.
◆Short Throw & Wide-Range Zoom Lens
The 2x Short Throw & Wide-Range Zoom Lens is capable
of throwing a 100” diagonal image from a distance of 9.8’
(3.0 m) to 20.0’ (6.1 m).

flexibility. You can use the projector at desired places
without images being distorted  (see page 15).
◆Color Management
The Color management function allows you to adjust the
details of picture colors to suit your preference and viewing
environments  (see pages 31 – 32) .
◆Twin Iris
The integration of the lens aperture and lamp aperture
enhances the contrast and depth of the projected image.
◆Compatibility

computers, analog TV systems (PAL, SECAM, NTSC,
NTSC4.43, PAL-M, and PAL-N), component video, S-video,
RGB scart, and HDMI.
◆Simple Computer System Setting
The Multi-scan system of the projector conforms to almost
all computer output signals quickly  (see page 26).

aspect ratio) can project the image from component video
signals such as DVD players and HDTV devices in full
screen.
◆Interlace-Progressive Conversion
High-quality picture technology is available that converts an
interlaced signal into a progressively-scanned one  (see
page 29) .
◆Automatic Slide Shutter
The automatic slide shutter protects the lens from dust and
scratches. It opens and closes automatically as you press
the POWER ON/STAND-BY button.
◆Wide Selection of Image Modes
You can select an ideal image mode for the viewing
environment or for your desired picture quality  (see page
27) . The four different kinds of images of your choice can
also be stored  (see pages 28 – 32) .
◆Pow er Management
The Power management function reduces power
consumption and maintains the lamp life  (see page 39).

(see page 38). You can capture an image for the screen
logo and use it for the starting-up display or between
presentations. 
◆Lamp Control

pages 22, 29) .
◆Multi-language Menu Display
Operation menu is available in 16 languages: English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch,
Swedish, Finnish, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Russian,
Chinese, Korean, and Japanese ( see page 36).
◆Selectable Setting Position
The Mounting function provides a proper image position
(up/down and left/right) depending on the setting position
of the projector such as ceiling mounting or wall-hanging
(see page 37) .
◆Two HDMI Terminals

To the Owner
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR
BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE EXCEPT LAMP REPLACEMENT.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE
IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL WITH
THIS UNIT.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT OPEN
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly
and operate the projector properly.  
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintain it in good condition for
many years to come.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the
product life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this
manual again, check operations and cable connections, and try
the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the back of
this manual. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer
where you purchased the projector or the service center.Safety Precaution
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE
TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
– This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens. Avoid staring directly into the lens as much as
possible, otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially
careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
– Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may
result in fire hazard.
– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides, and
rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper air
circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimensions shown
here indicate the minimum space required. If the projector
is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these
minimum distances must be maintained. 
– Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat build-
up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also
be dangerous.
– If the projector is unused for an extended time, unplug the
projector from the power outlet.

Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation, to insure reliable operation of the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.
The openings should never be covered with cloth or other
materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked by
placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the projector.
Do not install the projector near the ventilation duct of air-
conditioning equipment.This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.

result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord
may be damaged by persons walking on it.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the projector to normal operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
