THE LAMP (continued)

Replacing the lamp

All projector lamps will wear out eventually. If used for long periods of time, the image could become darkened, and the color contrast could be impacted as well. We recommend that you replace your lamps early. If the LAMP indicator turns red, or a message prompts you to replace the lamp when you power up the projector, the lamp needs to be replaced. (See "Related Messages" (Vol.2 7 ) and "Regarding the Indicator Lamps" (Vol.2 8 ) for details.)

1

Turn off the projector, and unplug the

power cord. Allow the lamp bulb to cool

 

for at least 45 minutes, and prepare a

 

new lamp (sold separately: DT00511 for

 

CP-S317/DT00521 for CP-X327)

 

 

 

 

2

After making sure that the projector has

cooled adequately, slowly flip over the

projector, so that the bottom is facing up

5

Insert the new lamp, and tighten the 1

screw firmly to lock it in place

• Also steadily push the opposite side of the screwed side of the

lamp into the unit.

3 Unscrew the 2 screws, and remove the lamp cover

6

Replace the lamp cover, and tighten

the 2 screws firmly to lock it in

place

4

Unscrew the 1 screw, and slowly pull

out the lamp by the handle

• Be careful not to touch the inside of the lamp case.

7

Slowly turn the projector so that

the top is facing up

 

 

 

 

8

Turn on the projector power, and using

the menu, reset the lamp timer

• To reset the lamp timer, from the OPTION menu, select LAMP TIME.

ATTENTION • Make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

Do not use with lamp cover removed.

Do not reset the lamp timer without replacing the lamp. Reset the lamp timer always when replacing the lamp. The message functions will not operate properly if the lamp timer is not reset correctly.

When the lamp has been replaced after the message of "CHANGE THE LAMP ...THE POWER WILL TURN OFF AFTER 0 hr." is displayed, or the LAMP indicator is red, complete the following operation within 10 minutes of switching power ON.

NOTE The LAMP indicator is also red when the lamp unit reaches high temperature. Before replacing the lamp, switch power OFF, wait approximately 20 minutes, and switch power ON again. If the LAMP indicator is still red, replace the lamp.

CP-X327, CP-S317, CP-S317W, CP-X327W specifications

The Hitachi CP-X327W and CP-S317W projectors, along with their counterparts CP-S317 and CP-X327, represent a blend of advanced projection technologies and user-friendly features designed to enhance presentations across various environments.

The CP-X327W is notable for its WXGA resolution (1280 x 800 pixels), making it ideal for high-definition presentations. This model boasts a brightness level of 3,200 ANSI lumens, ensuring bright and vivid images even in well-lit rooms. Its 2,500:1 contrast ratio adds depth to images, making text sharp and graphics pop. The projector features 3LCD technology, which provides accurate color reproduction and reduces rainbow effects often seen in single-chip projectors.

Equally impressive, the CP-S317W stands out with its XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) and a brightness of 3,000 ANSI lumens. Its lightweight and compact design makes it suitable for portability, appealing to users who frequently present on the go. The 2,000:1 contrast ratio enhances visual clarity, making it a solid choice for educational and business settings.

Both models incorporate Hitachi's advanced image-processing technology, which aids in scaling images without significant loss of quality. This feature is particularly beneficial when projecting content from a variety of device sources, from laptops to tablets. The ability to easily connect via multiple ports, including HDMI, VGA, and USB, adds versatility, allowing users to switch between devices seamlessly.

One standout characteristic across these projectors is their energy-efficient operation. With a lamp life expectancy of up to 6,000 hours in eco-mode, maintenance is minimized, which is especially valuable for schools and organizations that aim to lower operational costs.

In terms of usability, both the CP-X327W and CP-S317W feature intuitive menu systems, remote controls, and easy-to-navigate settings, allowing users of all skill levels to operate them with confidence. Furthermore, they include built-in speakers for basic audio needs, although external sound systems are recommended for larger venues.

In summary, the Hitachi CP-X327W, CP-X327, CP-S317W, and CP-S317 projectors exemplify quality and reliability. Their robust features, advanced technologies, and user-centric designs make them suitable options for a variety of professional settings, ranging from classrooms to corporate boardrooms, ensuring effective and impactful presentations.
