S1 video signals are a type of

signal. This detector signal is
output by some sources such as
wide-vision video decks.

When “ASPECT” is set to

NOTE: 
B
Vertical keystone distortion can be
corrected to ±30° of the angle of tilt
by combining automatic correction
and manual correction. However,
the greater the correction amount,
the more the picture quality will
deteriorate, and the harder it will
become to achieve a good level of
focus. To obtain the best picture
quality, set up the projector and
screen in such a way that the
amount of keystone correction
required is as minimal as possible.
B 
The picture size will also change 
when correction of keystone
distortion is carried out.
B  The ratio of length and width of 
an image may become incorrect
depending on the amount of the
keystone correction.
B
Keystone distortion of the on-
screen display will not be corrected.

distortion manually, the amount
of correction will be stored by

Replacing the lamp unitWarningThe lamp unit should only be 
replaced by a qualified
technician.
When replacing the lamp, allow it
to cool for at least one hour
before handling it.
B The lamp cover gets very hot, 
and touching it can cause burns.Notes on replacing the lamp 
unitB The light generating lamp is 
made of glass, so dropping it or
allowing it to hit hard objects may
cause it to burst. Be careful when
handling the lamp.
B  Dispose of the removed old lamp 
with the same care that would be
taken with a fluorescent light.
B  A Phillips screwdriver is 
necessary for removing the lamp
unit.
Lamp unit replacement 
periodThe lamp is a consumable product. 
Even when the full life of the bulb
has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light will gradually
decline. Therefore periodic
replacement of the lamp is
necessary.
The intended lamp replacement
interval is 2 500 hours, but it is
possible that the lamp may need to
be replaced earlier due to variables
such as a particular lamp’s
characteristics, usage conditions
and the installation environment.
Early preparation for lamp
replacement is encouraged.
The lamp will automatically shut off
after approximately 10 minutes
when 2 500 hours of use have been
reached because of a much greater
chance of it exploding after this
time.
NOTE:
B The projector is not supplied 
with a replacement lamp unit.
Please ask your dealer for
details. Lamp unit product 
no.:  ET-LAP1 
CAUTION: 
B  Do not use any lamp unit other 
than the one with the product
number indicated above.
NOTE:
B While 2 500 hours is the 
intended replacement interval,
it is not a period of time
covered by warranty.
Cleaning and replacing the air filterIf the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature of the
projector will rise, the TEMP indicator will illuminate and the projector’s
power will turn off (the TEMP indicator will flash after the power is turned off).
The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use. 
% Replace the air filter, and then 
install the air filter cover.CleaningUse a vacuum cleaner to clean off
any accumulated dust.
Replacement procedure# Turn off the power and 
disconnect the power cord.
Be sure to disconnect the power
cord by following the procedure
given on page 28. 
$  Gently turn the projector 
upside down, and then remove
the air filter cover.
NOTE:
B If the dust cannot be cleaned 
by a vacuum cleaner, remove
the air filter and soak it in
water, and then wash out the
dust by hand. Be sure to install
the air filter after it has dried.
B  Do not use detergent when 
washing the air filter.
B  If the dust cannot be removed 
by cleaning, it is time to
replace the air filter. Please
consult your dealer.
Furthermore, if the lamp unit is
being replaced, replace the air
filter at this time also.
NOTE:
B Be sure to install the air filter 
before using the projector. If
the projector is used without
the air filter installed, dust and
other foreign particles will be
drawn into the projector, and
malfunctions will result.
