FCC Compliance Statement
For United States Users
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital 
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment 
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in 
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television 
reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular 
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception, which 
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to 
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures.
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is 
connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING
The connection of a non-shielded equipment interface cable to this equipment will invalidate 
the FCC Certification or Declaration of this device and may cause interference levels which 
exceed the limits established by the FCC for this equipment. It is the responsibility of the user 
to obtain and use a shielded equipment interface cable with this device. If this equipment has 
more than one interface connector, do not leave cables connected to unused interfaces. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s 
authority to operate the equipment.DECLARATION of CONFORMITY

Glossary
Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which 
were not explained in the manual itself. Further information can be obtained by referring to other 
commercially-available publications.
 
Aspect
The ratio between an images length and its height. 
HDTV
 images have an aspect of 16:9 and appear 
elongated. The aspect for standard images is 4:3.
Component video
Video signals which have the video brightness signals 
and color signals separated, in order to provide better 
image quality.
In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which 
consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance 
signal), and Pb and Pr (color difference signals).
Composite video
Video signals which have the video brightness signals 
and color signals mixed together. The type of signals 
commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC
, 
PA L
 and SECAM formats).
Video signals which consist of a carrier signal Y 
(luminance signal) within the color bar signal, and a 
chroma or color signal (CbCr).
Contrast
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an 
image can be increased or decreased in order to make text 
and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them 
appear softer.
Cool-down
This is the process by which the projectors lamp is 
cooled down after it has become hot through use. It is 
carried out automatically when the [Power] button on 
either the remote control or the projectors control panel 
has been pressed to turn off the projector. Do not turn off 
the main power switch while cool-down is in progress, 
otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. 
If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally, 
the projectors lamp and internal components will remain 
at high temperatures, and this may shorten the useful life 
of the lamp or cause problems with the operation of the 
projector. The projector takes about 30 seconds to cool 
down. The actual time will vary depending on the 
external air temperature.
HDMI
An abbreviation for High Definition Multimedia 
Interface, and refers to a standard for digital transmission 
of high-definition images and multi-channel audio 
signals.
HDMI is a standard that is targeted towards household 
digital equipment and computers that allows digital 
signals to be transmitted in their original high quality 
without compression, and it also includes a digital signal 
encryption function.
HDTV
An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers 
to high-definition systems which satisfy the following 
conditions.
• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater 
(p = progressive
 , i = interlaced)
• Screen aspect of 16:9
• Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output)
Interlace
A method of image scanning whereby the signal 
bandwidth used is approximately half that required for 
sequential scanning when images with the same still 
picture resolution are broadcast.
NTSC
An abbreviation for National Television Standards 
Committee, and a format for ground-based analogue 
colour television broadcasts. This format is used in Japan, 
North America and Central and South America.
PA L
An abbreviation for Phase Alternation by Line, and a 
format for ground-based analogue colour television 
broadcasts. This format is used in Western European 
countries except France, and also in Asian countries such 
as China and in Africa.
Progressive
A method of image scanning whereby the image data 
from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to 
bottom to create a single image.
Refresh rate
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the 
same luminosity and color for an extremely short time. 
Because of this, the image must be scanned many times 
per second in order to refresh the light emitting element. 
The number of refresh operations per second is called the 
refresh rate, and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
S-Video
A video signal which has the luminance component and 
color component separated in order to provide better 
image quality.
It refers to images which consist of two independent 
signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (color signal).
SDTV
An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It 
refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy 
the conditions for HDTV.
SECAM
An abbreviation for Sequential Couleur A Memoire, and 
a format for ground-based analogue colour television 
broadcasts. This format is used in France, Eastern Europe 
and the former Soviet Union, the Middle East and Africa.

Security lock
A device consisting of a protector case with a hole in it 
that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can 
be passed through in order to secure the device to a table 
or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver 
Security System manufactured by Kensington.
sRGB
An international standard for color intervals that was 
formulated so that colors which are reproduced by video 
equipment can be handled easily by computer operating 
systems (OS) and the Internet.
SVGA
A type of image signal with a resolution of 800 
(horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM 
PC/ AT-compatible computers.
SXGA
A type of image signal with a resolution of 1280 
(horizontal) x 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM 
PC/ AT-compatible computers.
Sync. (Synchronization)
The signals output from computers have a specific 
frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this 
frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good 
quality. The process of matching the phases of these 
signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in 
the signal) is called synchronization. If the signals are 
not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness 
and horizontal interference can occur.
Tr a c k i n g
The signals output from computers have a specific 
frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this 
frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good 
quality. The process of matching the frequency of these 
signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called 
tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide 
vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.
VGA
A type of image signal with a resolution of 640 
(horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM 
PC/ AT-compatible computers.
XGA
A type of image signal with a resolution of 1,024 
(horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM 
PC/ AT-compatible computers.
YCbCr
The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar 
signal used in modern TV transmissions. The name 
comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr 
(chroma [color]) signals.
YPbPr
The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar 
signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV
) 
transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) 
signal and the PbPr (color difference) signals.
