Contact your dealer before replacing the lamp.

WARNING • For disposal of used lamp, treat according to the instruction of community

authorities.

Since the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shock to it and do not scratch it.

Also, do not use old lamp. This could also cause explosion of the lamp.

Premature lamp failure MAY be caused by an electronic component in the projector and not necessarily the lamp. If unsure contact your local service center.

If it is probable that the lamp has exploded (explosive sound is heard), disconnect the power plug from the power outlet and ask your dealer to replace lamp. The lamp is covered by front glass, but in rare cases, the reflector and the inside of the projector may be damaged by scattered broken pieces of glass, and broken pieces could cause injury when being handled.

Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

Lamp Life

Projector lamps have a finite life. The image will become darker, and hues will become weaker, after a lamp has been used for a long period of time.

Replace the lamp if the LAMP indicator is red, or the CHANGE THE LAMP message appears when the projector is switched ON. See Table 9 of P.20 and Table 10 of P.21.

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.

This model stands out for its impressive features, advanced technologies, and user-friendly characteristics, making it an ideal choice for classrooms, conference rooms, and collaborative spaces.

One of the main features of the CP-X380W is its brightness, boasting an impressive 3,800 ANSI lumens. This level of brightness ensures clear and vibrant images, even in well-lit rooms. The high contrast ratio of 20,000:1 enhances image quality by providing deeper blacks and brighter whites, making presentations visually appealing and easy to read.

The projector utilizes Hitachi’s proprietary BrilliantColor technology, which enhances color reproduction by improving the vividness of colors while maintaining image clarity. This is crucial for presentations that rely heavily on visuals, such as graphs, charts, and images, where accurate color representation plays a significant role.

With a native resolution of WXGA (1280 x 800 pixels), the CP-X380W delivers sharp images and text, making it suitable for detailed content. Its 16:10 aspect ratio is particularly beneficial for displaying widescreen content, providing a cinematic experience during video playback.

The inclusion of wireless networking capabilities further enhances flexibility, enabling presentations from mobile devices without the need for physical connections.

The projector is designed with user-friendliness in mind. Its simplified menu navigation and remote control make operation straightforward, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. The built-in 10-watt speaker enhances audio output, reducing the need for external sound systems in smaller settings.

For maintenance, the CP-X380W features a long lamp life of up to 5,000 hours in standard mode, which can be extended to 6,000 hours in eco mode. This longevity significantly reduces the total cost of ownership by minimizing the frequency of lamp replacements.
