Notes
(Signal sent from the computer)
•If you project an image from a computer with an LCD screen while monitoring the image on
the computer, the image may not be projected properly, depending on the computer model.
In this case, turn off the computer display. For details on controlling the computer display, etc.,
refer to the computer’s manual and description on the software for the computer used.
•The projector projects an image by XGA signal (1024 x 768) in full screen.
•The image quality from a computer signal other than XGA may be inferior. It is recommended
to set the external monitor connected to the computer to XGA mode (1024 x 768).
•The projector can be also applied to DDC2B (Display Data Channel 2B). If your computer is
applied to the DDC, start up your computer after turning on the projector.
Adjust the picture size by turning the
zooming lever.
Turn to the right to enlarge the picture.
Turn to the left to reduce the picture.
Focus on the picture by turning the
focusing ring.
A still picture is recommended for focusing.

•If the screen image suffers keystone distortion, press the KEYSTONE button to adjust the
distortion.

•Due to lamp characteristics, flickers may occasionally occur in a picture. This is not
malfunction of the unit.
•The lamp may rarely burst with a loud sound. A lamp is consumable supplies. If used for
extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic
of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)
•The projector’s liquid crystal panel is made using extremely advanced technology, but there
may be black spots (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on
the panel. Please note that these are not malfunctions.
•When trying to press a button whose operation is not available, the 
 icon appears.
•When supplying the signal not compatible with the projector, the 
 icon appears.
•When signals are not input from the input source, the 
 icon appears.
•The projector may stop operating if the surrounding temperature is too high or if the air filter is
clogged with dust.

About the LCD Panel
The life of the LCD panel is limited.
Take care over the points below so as to use the panel for years.
•To prolong the life of this panel, never fail to turn the power off when the panel is not in
use and make sure that the lamp has gone out. The state of the lamp being extinguished
helps enhance the effect of energy saving.
•If the air filter is stained and is clogged up, the main unit inner temperature rises. As a
result, the life of the LCD is shortened and a malfunction may also occur.
Clean the air filter from time to time 
63 and replace it regularly. It is recommended that
this replacement be done at the time of replacing a lamp. (Ask a dealer where the unit
was purchased or your nearby service station about an air filter for replacement.)

Operations
CONTENTSTurning the power off
Press ON/STANDBY after using the projector.
An instruction message for turning the power off appears on
the screen and disappears after a while. When the message
disappears, operation becomes invalid.
Press ON/STANDBY again.
Cooling starts. Once cooling is completed, the LAMP and FAN
indicators turn off and the standby mode is set. (The ON
indicator turns in orange.)
To protect the light source lamp, the LAMP indicator blinks as long as
a minimum of cooling is necessary. The power cannot be turned back
on during this time. Unplugging the power cord at this time will shorten
the lamp’s duration life.
The cooling fan continues to run for a while to expel the heat remaining
inside. If you are in a hurry, however, you may unplug the power cord
at this time.
The standby mode is set.

Notes
•The projector consumes about 20W of power in the standby mode. We recommend you
unplug the power cord when not using the projector for long periods of time.
•Be sure that the LAMP indicator has turned off before unplugging the power cord. Cutting the
power by unplugging the power cord while the projector is operating or the light source lamp is
being cooled will shorten the lamp’s duration life. Should a fault or some other irregularity
arise with this unit, unplug the power cord.
•When reinserting the power plug before the lamp has cooled, please wait until the lamp has
cooled sufficiently before use. When the lamp is at a high temperature, it may not light and it’s
life duration will be shortened.

Notes
•Automatic adjustment may not be performed properly for signals other than those computers’
signals with which the projector is compatible.
•The horizontal position, vertical position, sampling phase and sampling frequency can also be
adjusted from the menu screen 
47.
* Sampling frequency
Analog RGB signals input from the computer are converted into digital signals inside the
projector. The sampling frequency is the number of times per second the analog signals are
converted into digital signals. In order to capture (sample) each individual dot of the
computer’s signals, the sampling frequency must be adjusted to match the computer’s dot
clock frequency. If this adjustment is off, details of the image details may be blurred, a striped
pattern may appear if images with many vertical lines are displayed, or the image’s width may
change. For computer signals with which are projector-compatible, the sampling frequency is
adjusted automatically even when the AUTO SET button is not pressed.
* Sampling phase
The sampling phase is the timing at which the computer’s analog RGB signals are sampled. If
the sampling phase is off, the individual dots cannot be sampled at the proper timing, resulting
in blurred or flickering images.

Notes
•Due to digital correction processing, some of the information may be eliminated or the picture
quality may be degraded depending on the amount of keystone correction or the contents of
the signal source.
•The adjustable range of “V-keystone” or “H-keystone” is influenced by each other’s correction
amount, and each input signal 
71 . Therefore, the correction amount may change when
switching the input.
•When “Auto. V-keystone” does not operate properly even with the screen installed vertically,
execute “Horizontal reference value reset”
