Thank you for your purchase of this quality Vidikron video product! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video 
that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the 
menus and operation.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that 
produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider 
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is 
provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the 
obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where 
they exit from the apparatus. 
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When 
a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in 
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the 
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could 
cause damage to this unit.
16. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
17. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to 
removing the lamp assembly for replacement. 
18. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode 
in rare occasions.
