Introduction to the Projector

This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.

Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector

This DLP® projector is one of the very best projectors available today. The projector enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player or document camera.

You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen, and the projector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The remote control can be used wirelessly.

*1 Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself.

The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury.

In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.

Features you'll enjoy:

•Quick start & Quick Power Off

7 seconds after turning on the power, the projector is ready to display PC or video images.

The projector can be put away immediately after the projector is powered down. No cool down period is required after the projector is turned off from the remote control or cabinet control panel.

•Direct Power Off

The projector has a feature called “Direct Power Off”. This feature allows the projector to be turned off (even when projecting an image) by disconnecting the AC power supply.

To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.

•Less than 1W in standby condition with energy saving technology

Selecting [POWER-SAVING] for [STANDBY MODE] from the menu can put the projector in power-saving mode that consumes only 0.49W (100-130V AC)/0.71W (200-240V AC).

•Carbon Meter

This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE] is set to [ON].

The amount of CO2 emission reduction will be displayed in the confirmation message at the time of power-off and in the INFO of the on-screen menu.

•7W built-in speaker for an integrated audio solution

Powerful 7 watt speaker provides volume need for large rooms.

•Two computer inputs provided (NP216 only)

The NP216 projector comes with two computer input ports (Mini D-Sub15P) with audio inputs (two stereo mini jacks) as well as composite and S-video inputs with audio inputs (a pair of L/R RCA jacks).

•DLP® projector with high resolution and high brightness

High resolution display - up to UXGA compatible, XGA (NP216/NP215/NP210)/ SVGA (NP115/NP110) native resolution.

The AUTO POWER ON(AC), AUTO POWER ON(COMP.), AUTO POWER OFF, and OFF TIMER features eliminate the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or projector cabinet.
