throwing a 100” diagonal image from a distance of 9.8’ (3.0
m) to 20.0’ (6.1 m).
◆ Automatic Slide Shutter
The automatic slide shutter protects the lens from dust and
scratches. It opens and closes automatically as you press
the POWER ON/STAND-BY button.
◆ Lens Shift
The Lens Shift function provides a greater installation
flexibility. You can use the projector at desired places
without images being distorted (see page 14).
◆ Wide Selection of Image Modes
You can select an ideal image mode for the viewing
environment or for your desired picture quality (see page
27). The seven different kinds of images of your choice can
also be stored (see pages 28 – 33).
◆ Color Management
The Color management function allows you to adjust the
details of picture colors to suit your preference and viewing
environments (see pages 32 – 33).
◆ Power Management
The Power management function reduces power
consumption and maintains the lamp life (see page 41).
◆ Auto Iris
The integration of the lamp aperture enhances the contrast
and depth of the projected image.
◆ Compatibility
The projector accepts signals from multiple sources:
computers, analog TV systems (PAL, SECAM, NTSC,
NTSC4.43, PAL-M, and PAL-N), component video, S-video,
RGB scart, and HDMI.
◆ Simple Computer System Setting
The Multi-scan system of the projector conforms to almost
all computer output signals quickly (see page 26).
◆ 16 : 9 Wide Screen
The wide LCD panels with 1920 x 1080 resolution (16:9
aspect ratio) can project the image from component video
signals such as DVD players and HDTV devices in full
screen.
◆ Interlace-Progressive Conversion
High-quality picture technology is available that converts
an interlaced signal into a progressively-scanned one (see
page 29).
◆ Logo
The Logo function allows you to customize the screen logo
(see page 40). You can capture an image for the screen
logo and use it for the starting-up display or between
presentations.
◆ Lamp Control

To the Owner
Before operating this projector, read this manual thoroughly
and operate the projector properly.
This projector provides many convenient features and
functions. Operating the projector properly enables you to
manage those features and maintain it in good condition for
many years to come.
Improper operation may result in not only shortening the
product life, but also malfunctions, fire hazard, or other
accidents.
If your projector seems to operate improperly, read this
manual again, check operations and cable connections, and
try the solutions in the “Troubleshooting” section in the back
of this manual. If the problem still persists, contact the dealer
where you purchased the projector or the service center.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Safety Precaution
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE .
– This projector produces intense light from the projection
lens. Avoid staring directly into the lens as much as possible,
otherwise eye damage could result. Be especially careful
that children do not stare directly into the beam.
– Install the projector in a proper position. Otherwise it may
result in fire hazard.
– Allowing the proper amount of space on the top, sides,
and rear of the projector cabinet is critical for proper air
circulation and cooling of the unit. The dimensions shown
here indicate the minimum space required. If the projector
is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, these
minimum distances must be maintained.
– Do not cover the ventilation slot on the projector. Heat build-
up can reduce the service life of your projector, and can also
be dangerous.

For added protection to the projector during lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage due to
lightning and power line surges.
Do not expose this unit to rain or use near water... for
example, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc...
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Do not place this projector on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The projector may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the projector. Use only with
a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the projector. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturers.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
This projector should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied, consult your authorized dealer or
local power company.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in fire or electric shock. Do not allow anything to rest on
the power cord. Do not locate this projector where the cord
may be damaged by persons walking on it.
Do not attempt to service this projector yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
c. If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the projector does not operate normally by following
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the projector to normal operation.
e. If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance, this indicates a need for service.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector,
ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to

materials, and the bottom opening should not be blocked
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This projector should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register.
This projector should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into this projector through
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
