ENGLISH - 15
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 fWhen transporting the projector , hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts.  They may damage 
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
 f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 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 hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated 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 .
 fNear lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations with severe temperature fluctuations (when using at a place lower than 
1

  400   m (4   593') above sea level: operating temperature of 0   °C (32   °F) to 45   °C (113   °F), when using at a place of 1   400   m 
(4
  593') to 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level: operating temperature of 0   °C (32   °F) to 40   °C (104   °F)): The outer case may 
be deformed by heat, which may result in malfunctions.
 f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector .
 fPlace where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP

 r The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the br\
oadcast 
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a 
location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the  
terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
 rLens focus
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period 
just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the lens focus.
 rMake sure to set [HIGH  ALTITUDE MODE] to [ON] when using the projector at 
elevations between 1   400   m (4   593') and 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
 rMake sure to set [HIGH  ALTITUDE MODE] to [OFF] when using the projector at 
elevations lower than 1   400   m (4   593') above sea level.
Failure to do so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
 rDo not install the projector at high altitudes of 2   700   m (8   858') or higher above sea 
level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.

 rCautions when setting up the projector
 fTo install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a floor standing installation, fix the 
projector using the four screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown in the figure).
(Screw diameter: M4, tapping depth inside the set: 10
  mm (13/32"), torque: 1.25 ± 0.2   N·m)
Make a clearance of at least 12
  mm (15/32")  between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting spacers 
(metallic) etc. between them.
 f Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may 
damage the set.
Screw holes for ceiling mount (M4)
Adjustable feet
The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet
 f Do not stack projectors on top of each other .
 fDo not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector .

manufacturers.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
Cautions on use
 r To get a good picture quality
 fIn order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over 
windows and turn of
f any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the 
screen.
 f The high clarity projection lens is thermally af

fected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period 
just after switching on the power. The focus stabilizes when an image is projected continuously for 30 minutes or more.
 r Do 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.
 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.
 rLight source
The light source of the projector uses LED and lasers, and has the following characteristics.
 fThe luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The usage time until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half is approximately 20

  000 hours. 20   000 hours 
is the estimated duration, and it varies depending on individual dif ferences and usage conditions.
If the light source goes off or the brightness reduces noticeably, ask your dealer about replacement of the light source unit.
 r Computer and external device connections
 fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, use power cords and shielded cables following instructions in this 
manual.
 fWhen inputting digital signals to the DVI

- I terminal, use a commercially available cable with a ferrite core.
 rViewing 3D images
The projector can display 3D image signals that are input through various systems such as “frame packing” and “side by side”. 
You need to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which are 
compatible with your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, see the instruction manuals of external 
devices you use. Connections vary depending on your 3D system.
Refer to “List of 3D compatible signals” ( x
  page   132) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projector .
