Safety Precautions (continued)

CAUTION

Be careful in moving the projector.

Neglect could result in an injury or damage.

•Do not move the projector during use. Before moving, disconnect the power cord and all external connections, and close the slide lens door or attach the lens cap.

•Avoid any impact or shock to the projector.

•Do not drag the projector.

•For moving the projector, use the enclosed case or bag if provided.

Do not put anything on top of the projector.

Placing anything on the projector could result in loss of balance or falling, and cause an injury or damage. Use special caution in households where children are present.

Do not attach anything other than specified things to the projector.

Neglect could result in an injury or damage.

•Some projector has a screw thread in a lens part. Do not attach anything other than specified options (such as conversion lens) to the screw thread.

Avoid a smoky, humid or dusty place.

Placing the projector in a smoke, a highly humid, dusty place, oily soot or corrosive gas could result in fire or electrical shock.

•Do not place the projector near a smoky, humid or dusty place (ex. a smoking space, a kitchen, a beach, etc.). Do not place the projector outdoors.

•Do not use a humidifier near the projector.

Take care of the air filter to normal ventilate.

The air filter should be cleaned periodically. If the air filter becomes clogged by dust or the like, internal temperature rises and could cause malfunction. The projector may display the message such as “CHECK THE AIR FLOW” or turn off the projector, to prevent the internal heat level rising.

•When the indicators or a message prompts you to clean the air filter, clean the air filter as soon as possible.

•If the soiling will not come off the air filter, or it becomes damaged, replace the air filter.

•Use the air filter of the specified type only. Please order the air filter specified in the other manual of this projector to your dealer.

•When you replace the lamp, replace also the air filter. The air filter may be attached when you buy a replacement lamp for this projector.

•Do not turn on the projector without air filter.

Avoid a high temperature environment.

The heat could have adverse influence on the cabinet of the projector and other parts. Do not place the projector, the remote control and other parts in direct sunlight or near a hot object such as heater, etc.

Avoid Magnetism.

Manufacture strongly recommends to avoid any magnetic contact that is not shielded or protected on or near the projector itself. (ie.,. Magnetic Security Devices, or other projector accessory that contains magnetic material that has not been provided by the manufacture etc.) Magnetic objects may cause interruption of the projector's internal mechanical performance which may interfere with cooling fans speed or stopping, and may cause the projector to completely shut down.

ED-X42 specifications

The Hitachi ED-X42 is a highly regarded projector designed to meet the diverse needs of both educational and corporate environments. Combining advanced technology with user-friendly features, the ED-X42 stands out for its versatility and performance.

One of the main features of the Hitachi ED-X42 is its impressive brightness, rated at 4200 ANSI lumens. This high brightness level ensures that images and presentations remain clear and visible even in well-lit rooms. Additionally, the projector boasts a native XGA resolution of 1024 x 768, delivering detailed and sharp visuals that enhance the viewing experience.

The ED-X42 employs a 3LCD technology, which allows it to produce vibrant and accurate colors. This technology ensures that color reproduction is consistent and enhances the overall quality of the projected images. Coupled with a contrast ratio of 2000:1, the projector provides deep blacks and bright whites, ensuring that both text and images stand out.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the Hitachi ED-X42 is its comprehensive connectivity options. The projector features multiple input sources, including HDMI, VGA, and composite video, making it compatible with various devices such as laptops, Blu-ray players, and document cameras. This versatility is particularly beneficial in a classroom or meeting room setting, where different users may need to connect their devices.

The ED-X42 is also equipped with integrated audio capabilities, featuring built-in speakers that deliver clear sound without the need for external speakers. This makes it suitable for small to medium-sized venues where additional audio equipment might not be feasible.

Furthermore, the projector includes a relatively short throw ratio, allowing it to project large images from a short distance. This feature is particularly useful in smaller rooms where space is limited, enabling users to maximize the available area while still achieving a large image size.

In terms of maintenance, the Hitachi ED-X42 utilizes a long-lasting lamp that can operate for approximately 5,000 hours in normal mode and up to 10,000 hours in eco mode. This extended lamp life reduces the frequency and cost of replacements, adding to the projector's overall value.

Finally, the ED-X42 is designed with user-friendly features such as an intuitive remote control and an easy-to-navigate menu, making setup and operation straightforward for users of all skill levels. With its combination of advanced technologies, practical features, and robust performance, the Hitachi ED-X42 remains a popular choice for a wide range of applications.
