WARNING ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, when the bulb bursts, it is possible for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury to escape from the projector’s vent holes.

About disposal of a lamp: This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.

For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).

For product disposal, consult your local government agency or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada). For more information, call your dealer.

• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling, so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.

Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.

Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.

Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from a ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp replaced even if the bulb is not broken.

Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose screws could result in damage or injury.

Use only the lamp of the specified type.

If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this happens, consult your local dealer or a service representative.

Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.

Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst. When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.

Its advanced LCD technology provides rich and accurate color reproduction, catering to various content types—from text to intricate graphics. The projector boasts a resolution of XGA (1024 x 768), making it suitable for most standard presentations without losing detail.

In contrast, the CP-X206, while slightly less bright with a maximum output of 2,500 ANSI lumens, still delivers impressive image quality.

Both models feature a contrast ratio of 500:1, which enhances the clarity of images, ensuring deep blacks and vibrant colors.

This portability is vital for educators and business professionals who frequently move from room to room or travel for presentations. The projectors are equipped with a built-in speaker, allowing for audio playback without the need for external speakers, simplifying setup.

Another notable characteristic is the easy connectivity options offered by both models. They come equipped with multiple input ports, including HDMI, which supports the latest digital devices. Additionally, they have USB ports for direct PC-less presentations, along with standard VGA inputs that accommodate older devices.

User-friendly functionalities such as an automatic vertical keystone correction help ensure that images are perfectly aligned, even in less-than-ideal installation conditions. The projectors also come with an eco-friendly mode that reduces power consumption and extends lamp life, making them an economical choice for long-term use.
