Preparation

Preparation for projection

1.Attach the provided power cord to the projector.

2.Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.

3.Remove the lens cap.

Warning:

Do not look into the lens directly when the projector is on.

The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave the lens cap on the lens with the projector turned on, it may be deformed because of heat build- up. Remove the lens cap when you turn on the projector.

One of power cords for the U.S., Europe,

U.K., Australia, and South Korea is provided appropriately.

This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. If the power plug doesn’t fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the wall outlet.

In case that the power cord for the U.S. is provided with this projector, never connect this cord to any outlet or power supply using other voltages or frequencies than rated. If you want to use a power supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an appropriate power cord separately.

Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock.

Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the projector near heat sources to prevent damage to the power cord. If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for replacement because it may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified or altered, it may cause fire or electric shock.

Caution:

Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord.

Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may cause electric shock.

When you move the projector, turn off the power, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and then remove the connected cords. Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged, resulting in fire or electric shock.

If dust or metallic substance is on or around the pins of the power plug, unplug the power cord and clean it using a dry cloth. If you continue to use the projector without cleaning, it may result in fire or electric shock. Clean the power plug periodically at least once a year.

Be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the projector will not be used for a long period of time. Otherwise, it may cause fire.

Adjusting the position of the projected image

To adjust the position of the projected image on the screen, use the LENS SHIFT dial.

1.Rotate the LENS SHIFT dial inside the top cover of the projector to adjust the image position.

Rotating the dial clockwise (or counterclockwise for a ceiling-mount projector) moves the image up.

Rotating the dial counterclockwise (or clockwise for a ceiling-mount projector) moves the image down.

Be careful not to be caught in the opening in the lens while the lens is moving.

While the lens shift is working, the screen may flicker.

Projected images may become distorted, have decreased resolution, or have shadows at their corners if they are positioned close to the top or bottom.

Adjustment of the projection angle

For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.

Using the adjustment feet (front)

1.Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.

2.Rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment.

Important:

Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the floor.

Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left) or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up to 8 degrees using the adjustment feet only.

Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular rectangle or with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen.
