When connecting a single link signal, connect to the LINK-A terminal. • 
When connecting a dual link signal, connect to both the LINK-A and LINK-B terminals. • 
Note
You can switch the input format mode from the SYSTEM SELECTOR menu. (pp. 56-57) • 
Settings specific to the connected device are required. (pp. 72-73) • 
To send the pictures properly, use a connecting cable with the specifications of Canare 5CFB or higher (5CFB,  • 
7CFB, etc.) or of Belden1694A or higher. Also, use a cable that is shorter than 100 m.
Make sure that the cables used to link LINK-A terminal and LINK-B terminal are of the same type and length.  • 
If there is a difference in length greater than 4 m between the two cables, the images will not be projected 
correctly.
When connecting to dual link signals, connect directly to the signal output device without connecting through a  • 
distributor or other such device. A phase difference may occur between the LINK-A signal and LINK-B signal, 
which may prevent the image from being correctly projected.
If the connected signal is unstable, the signal auto-detect function may not operate correctly. In this case,  • 
switch to a mode that better suits the signal format from the SYSTEM SELECTOR menu.

The DVI-D signal input module supports only a single link. • 
The HDMI-DVI-D conversion cable is required to connect an HDMI-compliant device. • 
When using the DVI-D input, EDID settings may be required for the connected device. (pp. 71, 72) • 
It is possible to connect the DVI-D input module with an HDMI- or DVI-D-compliant device, but with some  • 
devices the images may not appear or other problems may be encountered in operation.

How to install and remove the projection lens (optional)
Adjust the lens shift position so that it is at the home 
position (p. 39) before installing or removing the 
projection lens.
Attention
Remove the dust-proof sponge from the lens fitting  • 
of the projector before installing the projection lens. 
(Keep the dust-proof sponge in a safe place for 
later use if needed.)
After removing the projection lens, install the dust- • 
proof sponge to the lens fitting of the projector in 
order to stop dust from getting inside the projector.

After a short while, the projector will 
switch to standby mode.
Attention
While the projector is in cooling mode (when the  • 
power indicator lamp is lit orange), the internal fan 
is running to cool down the projector. Do not turn 
off the MAIN POWER switch or disconnect the 
power cord at this time.
Note
If the POWER ON “ | ” button is pressed while  • 
the projector is still in cooling mode, it may take 
some time before the projector is ready to project 
pictures.
  Connecting the power 
cord
Insert the accessory power cord securely into the 
projector and the electrical outlet.
Be sure to read the “IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE” 
(pp. 4-5) and “Precautions with regard to safety” 
(pp. 6-9) for details on handling the power cord. 
Installation  „
Check the shape of the AC  1. 
IN terminal on the side of the 
projector and the shape of the 
power cord connector, and insert 
the power cord securely into the 
AC IN terminal.
Insert the power cord plug into  2. 
an electrical outlet.
Removal
  „
Check that the MAIN POWER  1. 
switch on the projector is at 
the OFF “○” position, and then 
disconnect the power cord plug 
from the electrical outlet. 
Remove the power cord from the  2. 
AC IN terminal while pressing 
the lock button on the power 
cord connector.

Powering up the projector
1
  Connect the supplied power 
cable. (120 V/240 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz)
2
  Press the “ | ” marked side of the 
MAIN POWER switch to turn on 
the power.
The power indicator lamp on the projector will  • 
flash in red. After a short period, the indicator 
will illuminate and the projector will enter 
standby mode.
3
  Press POWER ON “ | ”.
The power indicator lamp illuminates in green  • 
and soon the image is projected on the screen.
Note
If the projector is powered up at about 0 ÃC, a  • 
warm-up period of approximately 5 minutes may 
be necessary to start projection. The temperature 
monitor (TEMP) lamp lights up during the warm-up 
period. When the warm-up is completed, the 
temperature monitor (TEMP) lamp turns off and the 
image is projected on the screen.
If the temperature of the operating environment is  • 
low and warm-up takes more than 5 minutes, the 
projector will judge that a problem has occurred 
and the power will be turned off automatically. If 
this happens, increase the temperature around the 
projector so that it is 0 ÃC or higher, and then turn 
on the MAIN POWER switch and the POWER ON 
“ | ” switch once more.
Be sure to set the date and time when 
the projector is turned on for the first 
time after being purchased. For details, 
refer to “Setting the date and time” on 
page 81.

Basic Operation
Adjustment range after lens position (optical shift)
Do not move the lens beyond the bounds of the shift range as this may cause 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.

Lens adjustment to compensate for uneven screen focus
About the focus balance  „
Relationship between lens orientation and screen focus  z
If the projection lens is tilted with respect to the plane of the screen, uneven focus will result.

Procedure for adjusting the focus balance (tilt compensation in the lens   „
mount)
Three focus adjustment screws on the lens mount may be used to compensate for uneven screen focus.
Structure of lens mount (Figure 2, Figure 3)  z
The three adjustment screws allow the lens to be tilted up and down, and three more screws lock down the
