If this happens, point the remote control at the main unit again, and repeat the operation.Preparing and using the remote control When operating the remote control from behind the projector, the light is reflected on the projecting surface and may travel a shorter distance to reach the projector depending on the shape and material of the projecting surface. A computer can be operated using the projector’s remote control. This function is available on any computer with the Windows ® 98/98SE, Windows ® Me, Windows ® 2000, Windows ® XP, or Windows ® Vista OS, that is equipped with a USB port which can support USB1.1 (The mouse remote control receiver is also supported on OS 9 or OS X for the Macintosh).

Attempting to clean/replace the lamp at a high site by yourself may cause you to drop down, thus resulting in injury. • If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your dealer to do so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, resulting in an accident. • If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in case of anomaly. Let ev eryone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.Floor-mounted front projection Floor-mounted rear projection Ceiling-mounted front projection Ceiling-mounted rear projection Projection Distance and SizeUse the figures, tables, and formulas below to determine the projection size and projection distance.

Basic operations English French German Italian Spanish Portuguese Russian Swedish Turkish Polish Japanese Chinese (simplified) Chinese (traditional) Korean Notes •The start-up screen will disappear after a moment. You can dismiss the start-up screen before this by performing any operation. You can also configure the start-up screen not to appear via the Display setting menu p.39 . •The first time you use the projector after purchase, after the start-up screen disappears, the start menu is displayed p.27 . •Beep sound can be set not to beep in the Default setting 1 menu p.42 . •When [Key lock] is [On], the operation buttons of the projector do not work p.43 . •When [Password setting] is [On], then the start-up screen is displayed after the Password entry screen disappears p.33 . ■Turning the power off1 Press the ON/STANDBY button.A message appears on the screen, confirming that you wish to shut off the power. This message will disappear after a moment. (This operation is no longer valid after the message disappears.) 2 Press the ON/STANDBY button once again.When the setting of beep sound is [On], the projector beeps, and the screen turns off, but the internal cooling fan continues to operate. Then, the projector goes into standby mode. During cooling, the ON/STANDBY indicator flashes. While the indicator is flashing, the power can not be turned back on. At this point of time, it does not matter even if you unplug the power cord.Note •The projector consumes about 10W of power in standby. We recommend that you unplug the power cord if you will not be using the projector for an extended period. PRECAUTION •If you turn the power on before cooling is complete, give the lamp time (about 5 minutes) to cool before plugging it back in. If the lamp overheats, it may fail to light.Turning the power on and off (Continued) 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.52 , and replace it periodically. Contact the store where you purchased your projector, or your local Service Station for replacement air filters.
29 Operations 28 ■Using auto setting (Only for input from computer) This function sets up the projector to the optimum state such as sampling phase, frequency, screen position, and clamp for each type of the input signal by using simple operations. Press the remote control’s AUTO SET button.For computer input, the icon will appear during processing. You can set as well by selecting [Auto setting] in the Image adjustment menu p.37 .

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.57 , any resolutions not supported by this projector (XGA) 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 XGA 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 no signal is being input from the connected equipment or signal input is stopped while projecting, the “No signal” will appear. •If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupport signal” will appear. •If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the icon will appear.
