Preparation
Preparation for projection 1. Attach the provided power cord to the projector. 
2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet. 
3. Remove the lens cap. 
Warning:  Do not look into the lens directly when the projector is on. 
 The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave the lens cap on the lens with the projector turned on, it may be deformed because 
of heat build-up. Remove the lens cap when you turn on the 
projector. 
 One of power cords for the U.S., Europe and U.K. is provided  appropriately.
 This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do  not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. If the power 
plug doesn’t fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the 
wall outlet. 
 In case that the power cord for the U.S. is provided with this  projector, never connect this cord to any outlet or power supply 
using other voltages or frequencies than rated. If you want to use a 
power supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an 
appropriate power cord separately. 
 Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock. 
 Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the  projector near heat sources to prevent damage to the power cord. 
If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for 
replacement because it may caus e fire or electric shock. 
 Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified  or altered, it may cause fire or electric shock. 
Caution:  Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord. 
 Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may  cause electric shock. 
Adjustment of the projection angle For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 
degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two 
adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.
  1. Tilt up the project to the appropriate angle. 
2. Press the foot adjustment buttons next to the adjustment feet, 
and the adjustment feet will come out. 
3. Release the buttons to lock the adjustment feet to that position. 
4. Rotate the adjustment feet for fine adjustment. 
After using the projector: 
5. Put the adjustment feet back into the projector by pressing the  foot adjustment buttons. 
Important:  If necessary, rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment. 
 Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor. 
 Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left) or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt 
the projector up to 7 degrees using the adjustment feet only. 
 Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or  with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of 
the projector and the screen. 
 To correct vertical keystone distortion, press the KEYSTONE but- ton on the projector or the remote control to display KEYSTONE, 
and adjust the image by pressing the  S, T  button (or VOLUME +, 
- button on the remote control). 
In the following cases:  
 When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment  value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean a projection 
angle. 
 The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone  adjustment varies depending on the installation conditions. 
 When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution  decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may 
bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to 
product malfunctions. 
 Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment  because of the type of the vid eo signal being projected and the 
setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the 
keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is dis-
played without noise. 
 When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not  be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal.
 The keystone adjustment doesnt work when no signal.

Basic operation
Power-on 1. Turn on the device connected to the projector first. 
2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.  The POWER indicator lights up. 
 If the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before the projector is cooled down completely after use, the 
fans may start rotating when the power cord is plugged 
in
 and the POWER button is pressed next time .
3. Press the POWER button on the control panel or the ON button 
on the remote control. 
 It may take about one minute for the lamp to light up. 
 The lamp occasionally fails to light up and goes to Stand-by mode. In this case, try to light the lamp again. If the tempera-
ture of lamp is high, wait a few minutes and try to light the 
lamp again.
 After the POWER button is pressed, the image may flicker  before the lamp becomes stable. This is not a product mal-
function. 
 Regardless of the setting of LAMP MODE in the INSTALLA- TION menu, the STANDARD lamp mode is activated by 
default whenever the projector is turned on.
Important:  Do not cover the lens with the lens cap while the lamp is on.
 The projector starts warming up when the POWER button is pressed. During the warm-up process, images may appear dark 
and no commands are accepted. The projector cannot be turned 
off  within 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on.  By blinking red, the STATUS indicator indicates that the lamp 
should be replaced soon. Replace the lamp when the STATUS 
indicator blinks red. (See page 23 and 26.) 
 Images may not be projected with good quality in an extremely hot  or cold environment. (This is not a product malfunction.) 
4. Adjust the focus by turning the focus ring. 
5. Choose your desired external input source using  the COM- PUTER or VIDEO button.
 The input source is switched  from VIDEO to COMPUTER at 
the press of the COMPUTER button on the control panel.
 The input source is switched between VIDEO and S-VIDEO  at every press of the VIDEO button on the control panel. 
 If you use a remote controller, press the VIDEO or S-VIDEO  button to directly switch to VIDEO or S-VIDEO.
 The projector automatically selects the appropriate signal  format. The selected signal format is displayed on the 
screen. 
 To avoid permanently imprinting a fixed image onto your pro- jector, please do not display the same stationary images for 
long period.
6. Adjust the image size by turning the zoom ring.  If necessary, adjust the focus and zoom again.
 If you move the zoom, the screen will be out of focus. If this is the case, adjust the focus again.

Instant Shut DownYou can turn off this projector just by unplugging the power cord with-
out pressing the POWER button.
 Dont shut down the projector while the STATUS indicator is blink-ing after the lamp lights up because the lamps life may be short-
ened.
 Dont turn the projector back on right after shutting it down  because the lamps life may be shortened. (Wait about 10 minutes 
before turning the projector back on.)
 Before shutting down the projector, be sure to close the menu  screen. If you shut down the projector without closing the menu, 
the setting data of the menu may not be saved.
 If you shut down the projector while controlling the projector using  the network function, the application software may fail.
AUTO POSITION button When the image isn’t projected in the right position with COMPUTER 
selected as the input source, follow the procedure below.

button is pressed. To cancel muting, press the MUTE button again. 
ANAMORPHIC mode When playing DVD discs containing data of letterboxed image, press 
the 16:9 button. Exit the ANAMORPHIC mode, by pressing the 16:9 
button again. 
Important:  When a letterboxed image is kept displayed for a long time before displaying 4:3 image, the afterimages of the black bars may 
appear on the 4:3 image screen. Consult your dealer in this case.
Caution:  After using the projector, wait 90 seconds for the air outlet fans to stop. Then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
 While cooling down, the STATUS LED keeps blinking green, the  POWER button won’t work till it stops blinking.
 The air outlet fans will run for extra 90 seconds before starting the  projector if it didnt shut down properly ( unplug directly without 
pressing POWER button) and the temperature is too high.
 The air outlet fans rotate faster as the temperature around the pro- jector rises.
 After shut down due to the high temperature, the Status LED is lit  about 10 seconds.
