During cooling, the LAMP indicator flashes. In this state, the power cannot be
turned back on. In addition, unplugging the power cord in this state will shorten
the life of the lamp.

After the LAMP indicator goes off, the cooling fan continues to operate for a
short while, in order to expel excess internal heat. If you are in a hurry, there is
no problem with unplugging the power cord in this state.

In standby
Note•The projector consumes about 6W of power in standby. We recommend that you unplug
the power cord if you will not be using the projector for an extended period.PRECAUTIONS•Before unplugging the power cord, make sure that the LAMP indicator is off. Unplugging
the power cord and cutting off the power while the projector is running or being cooled
will shorten the life of the lamp. However, please unplug the power cord if the
projector locks up or acts abnormally.
•If the power cord was unplugged before cooling was complete, give the lamp sufficient
time to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats it may fail to light, and its
lifetime will be shortened.
LCD Panels
LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the
following precautions.
•In order to extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when not in
use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off is also very effective at
saving electricity.
•If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise,
shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. Clean the air filter
from time to time 
p.30
, and replace it periodically. Contact the store where you
purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replacement air filters.

Adjusting the volume with the 
 
 buttons
The speaker volume can be adjusted when an audio signal is being input.Notes•Note that the lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.
•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 LCD 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.
•Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals 
p.36
, any resolutions not
supported by the model (XGA or SVGA, depending on the model) will be expanded or
shrunk, which will affect image quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is
recommended that the computer’s external output should be set to the projector’s
resolution.
•With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information
on how to turn off the LCD display, see the owner’s manual of your computer.
•If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the 
 icon will appear.
•If a no signal is being input from the connected device, the 
 icon will appear.
•If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the 
 icon will appear.

Lens cleaning•Clean the lens with a commercially available blower and/or
lens cleaner.
•The lens is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects,
or strike it.Main unit cleaning•Clean the main unit after unplugging the power cord.
•Wipe dirt off the main unit gently with a soft cloth.
•If the soiling is severe, dip the cloth in a neutral
detergent diluted in water, wring well, and gently wipe
off the dirt, then finish up by wiping with a dry cloth.Replacing air intake and exhaust fans, and air filter
To maintain the performance, it is recommended that these should be replaced about
every 2 to 3 years. Consult with your dealer for details.
Lamp replacementA 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.) If this happens, replace it with a new
one.
 CAUTION
•Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector
dealership.
• When replacing, always use lamp “TLPLV1” (sold separately).
• If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause burn
injuries.
Wait for the lamp to cool (for longer than 1 hour) before replacing it.
• If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken pieces
and contact your dealer for repair service.1
Unplug power cord.
2
Wait until lamp is sufficiently cooled.Wait for at least 1 hour.
Lens and main unit cleaning
The air filter prevents dust and debris from getting inside the projector. Never run the
projector with the filter removed. It is recommended that the air filter is cleaned regularly.
(A recommended measure is about once for every 50 hours of use.)
CAUTION
•Request cleaning and maintenance of a ceiling-mounted unit from your projector
dealership.1
Unplug power cord.
2
Remove the air filter.Pull out the air filter by taking the catch shown in the figure.
3
Clean the filter.Carefully remove the dust and dirt from the air filter with a
vacuum cleaner or the like.
4
Replace the air filter.Notes•Allowing dirt and dust to build up on the air filter will worsen the air circulation inside the
projector, causing the internal temperature to rise, causing the projector to stop working
or malfunction.
•Insert the air filter all the way in. Leaving gaps will allow dust and dirt to get inside the
projector.
•If you wash the air filer with water, make sure to dry it completely before replacing it.
•If the air filter is torn, consult with your dealer about replacing it with a new one.
Continuing to use a ripped filter will allow dust and dirt to get inside the projector.Air filter cleaning

before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats it may fail to light. Unplugging the power
cord repeatedly when the temperature is high will shorten the life of the lamp. (Even if
you are not concerned about lamp lifetime, the light may not come on if you do not wait
at least 3 minutes.)Trouble indications
