1.Confirm the POWER indicator lights up red.

•If the projector was turned off before the lamp was cooled down sufficiently last time, the fan may start rotating and the STANDBY/ON button may not work after the power cable is plugged. (The STATUS indicator blinks green.) After the fan stops rotating, press the STANDBY/ON button to turn back on the POWER indicator.

2.Press the STANDBY/ON () button on the projector or ON ( I ) button on the remote control.

•It may take about one minute for the lamp to light up.

•The lamp fails to light up on rare occasions. If this happens, wait for a few minutes and then try again.

•Do not cover the lens with the lens cap while the lamp is on.

3.Select an input source.

•Press the VIDEO/S/COMP. or D-SUB/HDMI button on the projector, or press one of the input selector buttons (VIDEO, S-VIDEO, COMP., HDMI, or D-SUB) on the remote control to select the input you desire. Be sure to select the input source that is corresponding to the terminal in use.

–The input source is switched to VIDEO, S-VIDEOor COMPONENT at every press of the VIDEO/S/COMP. button on the projector.

–The input source is switched between D-SUB and HDMI at every press of the D-SUB/HDMI button on the projector.

•There may be a delay before an image is displayed on the screen depending on the type of the input signal.

•Some images become easier to view when the setting of aspect ratio is changed (see page 18).

4.Adjust the position of the projector to keep an appropriate projection distance with which images are projected in their specified sizes.

5.Adjust the position of the projector so that the projector and the screen are perpendicular to each other (see page 8).

•When the projector cannot be positioned perpendicularly to the screen, adjust the projection angle (see page 8).

6.Adjust the size of the projected image by turning the ZOOM ring.

7.Adjust the focus by turning the FOCUS ring.

Repeat steps 4 to 7, if necessary.

Important

•When a 4:3 image is continuously displayed for a long time before displaying a 16:9 image, the afterimages of the black bars on each side may appear on the 16:9 image screen. Consult your dealer in this case.

•Do not display a still picture for a long time because the afterimages may persist on the screen.
