Notes
• Note that a lamp characteristics may rarely cause the 
brightness to fl uctuate slightly.
• A lamp is consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and 
the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The 
lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use.)
• The DMDTM is made using extremely advanced technology, but there may be black spots 
(pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. Please 
note that these are not malfunctions.
• Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals, any resolutions not 
supported by this projector (XGA) will be expanded or shrunk, which will affect image 
quality slightly. To view high-quality images, it is recommended that the computer’s 
external output should be set to XGA resolution.
• With some models of computer having LCD displays or the like, displaying images 
simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from 
displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information 
on how to turn off the LCD display, see the owner’s manual of your computer.
• If no signal is being input from the connected equipment or signal input is stopped while 
projecting, the “No signal” will appear.
• If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupport signal” will appear.
• If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the  icon will appear.
