Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices 
to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI 
standards may result in a malfunction.
Note
• Depending on specifi cations of equipment or the DVIÙHDMI digital cable, the signal transmission may 
not work property. (The HDMI specifi cation does not support all connections to equipment that has digital 
output terminal using a DVIÙHDMI digital cable.)
• HDMI  (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-defi nition video 
signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.
• Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the digital 
video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple connection can 
be enjoyed.

Connecting to a Computer Using the RGB Cable
Connecting to a Computer
Note
• Refer to “Compatibility Chart” on page 70 for a list of computer signals compatible with the 
projector. Use with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of the functions not to 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 computer’s 
external output port is switched on. (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys simultaneously when using a 
SHARP notebook computer). Refer to the specifi c instructions in your computer’s operation manual to 
enable your computer’s external output port.

Controlling the Projector by a Computer
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer, the computer can be used to control 
the projector and check the status of the projector.
When connecting to a computer using an RS-232C serial control cable
Note
• The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer terminal is not correctly set up. Refer to the 
operation manual of the computer for details.
• For details on RS-232C speci cations and commands, see page 66.
Info
• Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This may 
damage your computer or projector.
• Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. This 
may damage your computer.

							Basic Operation

Turning the Projector On/Off
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the supplied power cord into the 
AC socket on the rear of the projector.
The power indicator illuminates red, and the 
projector enters standby mode.
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 20 to 23.)
Open the lens shutter fully and press 
STANDBY/ON on the projector or ON 
on the remote control.
The power indicator illuminates green.
After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projec-
tor is ready to start operation.
When the lens shutter is closed, the power 
indicator blinks alternately green and orange 
and the projector does not turn on.
Note
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 abnormal-
ly 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 lamps control circuitry is stabilizing 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.
Turning the Power Off (Putting 
the Projector into Standby Mode)
Press STANDBY/ON on the projector or 
STANDBY on the remote control, then 
press that button again while the con r-
mation message is displayed, to put the 
projector into standby mode.
The projector cannot be turned on while cooling.

Keystone Correction
This function can correct distortion of an image 
projected toward a spherical or cylindrical screen 
as well as trapezoidal distortion of an image on a 
fl at screen and rotate the image at your arbitrary 
angle.
 KeystoneWhen the image is projected either from the top or 
from the bottom towards the screen at an angle, the 
image becomes distorted trapezoidally. The 
function for correcting trapezoidal distortion is 
called Keystone Correction.
Note
The Keystone Correction can be adjusted up 
to an angle of approximately ±40 degrees 
with “V-Keystone” and approximately ±30 
degrees with “H-Keystone”.
