Adjusting front adjustable feet
The adjustable feet can be extended by turning it as shown in the figure. It is retracted by turning it in the opposite 
direction. (Projection angle can be adjusted vertically.)
Attention
Heated air comes out of the air exhaust port while the lamp is lit. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when you adjust  z
the front adjustable feet.
If keystone distortion occurs on the projected image, perform “KEYSTONE” from the “Screen” menu. ( zÆpage 60)

Connections
Before connecting to the projector
Read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. z
Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables. z
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
al cable is available for connection of the  z
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the scre\
en to randomly wobble or wafture.   z
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.The projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. Level) and  z
digital signal.Some computer models are not compatible with the projector. z
When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projecto\
r, there is a possibility that the image  z
will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. ( zÆpage 109 to 113)

Attention
When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-in time base corrector (TBC) or use a  TBC between the projector  zand the video deck.If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. \
If this is the case, connect a TBC between the projector and the  z
video deck.
Note
When using an HDMI cable, check that it is compliant with the HDMI stand\
ard. Using a cable that is not compliant with the HDMI standard  zmay result in problems such as the image cutting out or not appearing.  When connecting the 1 080p signal using HDMI, use a cable compliant with\
 1 080p signal.This projector does not support the Viera link (HDMI). zFor the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, refer to “List of compatible signals”. ( zÆpage 109 to 113)

Basic Operation
Press the  button on the side control or 
the  button on the remote control, 
and Power off? appears on the screen.
Press the  button on the side control or 
the  button on the remote control 
again to turn off the projector. The  indicator starts to blink orange, 
and the cooling fans keep running. At this time, 
you can unplug the AC power cord even if the 
fans are still running.
When the projector has cooled down enough, the 3 ) 
 indicator stops blinking 
and you can turn on the projector.
Note
Do not put the projector in a case before the projector is  z
cooled enough.
While the  indicator is blinking,  z
the lamp is being cooled down and the projector cannot 
be turned on. Wait until the  
indicator stops blinking to turn on the projector again.
The projector can be turned on after the  indicator turns red. The waiting time 
to restart will be shortened when the normal power-off 
processing for fan cooling is completed, compared with 
the time the AC power cord is immediately unplugged 
after the power-off.
 JDirect Power Off function
You can disconnect the power cord from the wall 
outlet or turn off the breaker even during projection 
without pressing the  button.
Note
When using the Direct Power Off function, you cannot  z
restart the projector immediately after the power is 
disconnected. The lamp remains high temperature and 
needs to be cooled, so it sometimes takes longer time 
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.
Note
If the  button on the remote control is  z
pressed, the time countdown will be brought to an end 
without appearing Power off? afterwards on the screen.
Turning Off the Projector
Power off? disappears after 4 seconds.
