lamp will not light up even if the power is turned on. 
To light up the lamp, turn on the power supply again 
when the lamp has been cooled sufficiently. Failure 
to observe this may shorten the lamp life.
The projector consumes approximately 8 W (240 V 
 
z
mode) power.  
(STANDBY MODE: [NORMAL])
Direct power off function
The power supplied internally causes the cooling fan 
to continue operating and cool off in the event that 
the power has failed or even after the power cord is 
accidentally disconnected immediately after the power 
has been turned off.
Note
When the lamp has been cooled by the direct power off 
 
z
function, it sometimes takes longer than usual for the 
lamp to light up again.
While the cooling fan is operating, do not place the 
 
z
projector inside a box or bag.
If projection was stopped by using the DIRECT POWER 
 
z
OFF function, it can be started by setting the MAIN

Basic Operation
Adjustment range after lens position (optical shift)
Do not move the lens beyond the bounds of the shift range as this may ca\
use a change in the focus. This 
limitation is to protect the parts of the projector.
Using the standard projection position as the reference, the optical axis shift function makes it possible to adjust 
the projection position in the ranges shown in the figures below.

Basic Operation
Procedure for adjusting the focus balance   
J
(tilt compensation in the lens mount)
Three focus adjustment screws on the lens mount may be used to compensat\
e for uneven screen focus.
Structure of lens mount 
 
Q
The three adjustment screws allow the lens to be tilted up and down, and\
 three more screws lock down the 
adjustment.

Basic Operation
If the lens is heavy or the projector is installed so that it is tilted,\
 the lens may be tilted, resulting in the focus 
becoming unbalanced.
In such a case, refer to the figure 3 and table below, and follow the procedure below to perform adjustment.
Adjustment procedure
 
Q
 
Display the internal test pattern grid, and defocus the image.
 Adjust the lens focus till one or more sides of the grid comes into focus. Note the appropriate screws 
for the out-of-focus sides of the grid as described below.
 Loosen the locking screws for each of the adjustment screws ,  and  as needed, following the 
indications in the example. The screws to be adjusted correspond to the \
out-of-focus sides of the 
image.
Attention
Make adjustments in up to two places, and fully turn the screw clockwise\
 in at least one place.
 
z
  Turn the adjustment screws (corresponding to the locking screws loosened in step 3) 
counterclockwise slightly till the out-of-focus image sides are in focus\
. (Turning the screws 
counterclockwise moves the lens bracket and tilts the lens toward the sc\
reen.)
 Readjust the lens shift position with the remote if needed.
 Refocus the image as in steps 1 and 2 above. Fine adjust the focus evenness as needed, as described 
in step 4.
 When adjustment is complete, tighten the locking screws.
 Adjust the Focus.
Tool to be used :    Allen hex socket driver or Allen wrench (2.5 mm diagonal hexagon)
An Allen wrench is supplied with the ET-D75LE6 and ET-D75LE8 optional lens.

Basic Operation
Automatic adjustment
The automatic setup function can be used to 
automatically adjust the resolution, clock phase and 
picture position when analog RGB signals consisting 
of bitmap images such as computer signals are being 
input, or to automatically adjust the picture position 
when DVI-D/HDMI signals are being input.
It is recommended to supply images with a bright 
white frame at the outermost periphery containing 
characters etc. that are clear in white and black 
contrast when the system is in automatic adjustment 
mode.
Avoid supplying images that involve halftones 
or gradation such as photographs and computer 
graphics.
