Setting up the Projector
Setting up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projectors 
feet fl at and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best 
image quality. (See page 
29.)
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen 
according to the desired picture size. (See page 20.)

Connections
Connecting the Projector to Other Equipment
Before connecting, ensure that the power cord of the projector is unplugged from the AC outlet 
and turn off the equipment to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector 
and then the other pieces of equipment. When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last 
equipment to be turned on after all the connections are made.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before 
you turn on the connected equipment.
For more details of connection and cables, refer to the operation manual of the connecting equipment.You may need other cables or connectors not listed below.

See page 59 “Computer Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the 
projector. Use with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the functions to not 
work.
A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest 
Macintosh Dealer.
Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the 
computers external output por t is switched on (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys 
simultaneously when using a SHARP notebook computer). Refer to the speci c instructions in 
your computers operation manual to enable your computers external output port.

While the projector is connected to video equipment that has an HDMI output terminal, only the video 
signal can be input to the projector. (Connect the AUDIO input terminal for audio input.)
Depending on speci cations of video equipment or HDMI to DVI digital cable, the signal transmission 
may not work property. ( The HDMI speci cation does not support all connections to video equipment 
that has HDMI digital output terminal using HDMI to DVI digital cable.)
 For details on compatibility for connection, see support information on DVI connection provided by 
the video equipment manufacturer.
 When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a 
commercially available cable that  ts in the projector terminal you want to connect.
The projector does not support RGBC signals via the Euro-scart.

Controlling the Projector by a Computer
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub RS-
232C adaptor and an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commercially available), the 
computer can be used to control the projector and check the status of the projector. Refer to 
the “SETUP MANUAL” contained on the supplied CD-ROM for “RS-232C Specifi cations and 
Commands”.

Turning the Projector On/Off
Turning the Projector On
Note that the connections to external 
equipment and power outlet should be 
done before performing the operations 
written below. (See pages 
21 to 25.)
Remove the lens cap and press 
STANDBY/ON  on the projector or  ON 
on the remote control.
The power indicator illuminates green. 
After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projector 
is ready to start operation.
About the Lamp Indicator
The lamp indicator illuminates to indicate the 
status of the lamp.
Green:  The lamp is on.
Blinking in green:  The lamp is warming up.Red:  The lamp is shut down 
abnormally or the lamp should be 
replaced.
When switching on the projector, a slight 
fl ickering of the image may be experienced 
within the fi rst minute after the lamp has been 
illuminated. This is normal operation as the 
lamp's control circuitry is stabilising the lamp 
output characteristics. It should not be 
regarded as faulty operation.
If the projector is put into standby mode and 
immediately turned on again, the lamp may 
take some time to start projection.
When System Lock is set, the keycode input 
box appears. To cancel the keycode setting, 
input the keycode that you have already set. 
See page 
47 for details.
