Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
 rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
 fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components 
or malfunction.
 fNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due 
to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled air . Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other 
equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector .
 fPlaces with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or 
result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0

  °C (32   °F) and 45   °C (113   °F) when using it at 
elevations lower than 1
  400   m (4   593') above sea level, and between 0   °C (32   °F) and 40   °C (104   °F) when using it at high 
altitudes (1
  400   m (4   593') or higher – lower than 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level).
If you use the Smoke cut filter, the operating environment temperature should be between 0
  °C (32   °F) and 35   °C (95   °F). 
However, it cannot be used at high altitudes.
If you use the Replacement lamp unit (for portrait mode), the operating environment temperature should be between 0
  °C 
(32
  °F) and 40   °C (104   °F) when using the projector at elevations lower than 1   400   m (4   593') above sea level, and between 
0
  °C (32   °F) and 35   °C (95   °F) when using the projector at high altitudes. If you use the Smoke cut filter together , the 
operating environment temperature should be between 0
  °C (32   °F) and 30   °C (86   °F).
 fNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector .
 fPlaces where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP  
chips.

 rCautions when setting up the projector
 fWhen installing and using the projector with a method other than the floor standing installation using the adjustable feet, fix 
the projector using the five screw holes for ceiling mount (as shown in the figure).
(Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the set: 16
  mm (5/8"), torque: 4 ± 0.5   N·m)
 fMake a clearance of at least 5

  mm (3/16") between the projector bottom and the setting surface by inserting spacers 
(metallic) between them.
Screw holes for ceiling mount 
(M6)
Adjustable feet
Clearance (5 mm (3/16) or longer)Ensure the inflow of air into the air intake port. Otherwise 
the projector may not work properly.Spacer
Mount
The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet Adjustable feet
 f
The adjustable feet can be removed if not needed in the installation. However , do not use the screw holes where the 
adjustable feet were removed to fix the projector in place.
Also, do not install other screws in the screw holes of adjustable feet. Doing so may damage the projector .
Note that the length of the front feet dif
fer from that of the rear feet when attaching the removed adjustable feet.  The ones 
with a longer screw are for the front. (Length of the screw for front feet: 65
  mm (2-9/16"), length of the screw for rear feet: 
23
  mm (29/32"))
 fUse the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may 
damage the projector

.
 fDo not stack projectors on top of each other

.
 fDo not use the projector supporting it by the top.

Cautions on use
 r To get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over 
windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.     
						

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 19
 rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto 
the screen.
Attach the supplied lens cover to the projection lens when you do not use the projector .
 rDLP chips
 fThe DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that 
such phenomena does not indicate malfunction.
 f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP  chips.
 rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it \
is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
 rLamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
 fThe luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
 fThe lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to 
cumulative runtime.
 fThe lamp life varies greatly depending on individual dif

ferences and usage conditions. In particular, frequent on/off switching 
of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the lamp life.
 f Continuous use for over one week will deteriorate the lamp. 

The degradation of the lamp due to continuous use can be 
reduced by using the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [LAMP RELAY].
 f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.
 fThe risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit 
regularly

.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” ( x
  page   163), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x
  page   164))
 fIf the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.
 fIt is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency .
 rComputer and external device connections
 fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and 
shielded cables as well.
 fT

o assure continued performance and FCC compliance, use only high quality DVI-D interface cable with two ferrite cores for 
connecting with the  terminal.
 r Viewing 3D images
(Only for PT- DZ13KU, PT- DS12KU, PT- DW11KU)
The projector can display 3D video signals that are input through various systems such as “frame packing” and “side by side”.
You are required to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which 
are suitable for your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, they are dif ferent depends on the 3D 
system to be used, see the operating instructions of external devices you use.
