Important safety information
Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of the unit and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them carefully and
heed all warnings.
For best results, use the unit in a darkened room.
Place the unit on a flat, level surface in a dry area away from dust and moisture.
Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, near heaters or heat radiating appliances.
Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam can harm internal components.
Handle the unit carefully. Dropping or jarring can damage internal components.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.
The unit is designed to operate on a power supply of 100 - 240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power supply fits these
requirements before attempting to use the unit.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the power outlet after using the unit.
Before disconnecting the power cable, make sure that the indicator of the POWER/STANDBY button lights in orange (not
flashing or in blue).

Cleaning
•
•
Disconnect the power cable (main’s lead) from the unit.
Clean the cabinet of the unit periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong deter-
gents or solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful not to scratch or mar the lens.
Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated dust blocks the
ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may cause the unit to malfunction.
Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice tool, to pre-
vent the damage to the unit.
Be sure to replace the lamp when the LAMP indicator comes on. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours of usage,
the lamp will turn off.
Lamp Replacement
•
Fire and Shock Precautions
•
•
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Al-
low at least 10 cm (4 inches) of space between the unit and walls.
Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into the unit. Do not attempt to retrieve any ob-
jects that fell into the unit. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into the unit. If something should
fall into the unit, immediately disconnect the power cable from the unit and have the object removed by a qualified KAGA
COMPONENTS service person.
Do not place any liquids on top of the unit.
•
Carrying around
When carrying the unit around, please use the soft case that comes with it and, to protect the lens from scratches, always shut
the lens shutter. Also, do not subject the unit to strong mechanical shock.
CAUTION – HOT!
The area around the exhaust vents is hot during and immediately after image projection.
To avoid burns, keep your hands away from this area.
Wait until the exhaust vents area cools off before touching it.
Do not look into the lens while the unit is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

KG-PS232Xh/232X | KG-PV131X/131S User’s Manual

Helpful Hints
Convenient functions for the use of this product
I would like to use the projector in a simple manner.
This product is equipped with an auto focus function and an auto keystone
correction function. (Only the KG-PS232Xh/232X have the auto focus
function.) When shipped from the factory, both of these functions are ON.
When using this product, just press the POWER/STANDBY button and set the
image size with the zoom ring to allow the image to be projected simply.
See “Basic Operation” for details. See Page E-21.
Technical Point
What is the automatic keystone
correction function?
When the projector is tilted up or down when projecting, the
picture will appear distorted.
There are two types of keystone distortion, in the horizon-
tal or vertical direction. This projector has a function that
manually or automatically corrects the distortion in the
vertical direction.
See “Auto Keystone,” and “Keystone” for details. See Pages
E-53 and 54.
I would like to project a clear image in conjunction with the projection
location. (Example: I would like to project onto a blackboard, etc.)
A projection mode to suit the purpose can be selected with Projection
Mode under Simple Menu. For example, by selecting the Blackboard
mode a color adjustment that suits blackboards will be made automatically,
allowing a clear image to be projected without making detailed settings.
Other modes include Graphics and Presentation modes.
See “Projection Mode Selection” for information about operation from the
remote control. See Page E-41.
See “Projection Mode” for information about operation from the menu. See
Page E-52.
What is the projection mode?
This projector is already equipped with projection modes
that suit the application. This permits an immediate color
adjustment to suit the purpose without performing detailed
adjustments such as Gamma Correction, Color Tem-
perature, or White Level.
Technical Point
I would like to stop the projection temporarily.
The projection can be stopped temporarily during a presentation or class.
By using Still Image (FREEZE), or Blank/Mute (BLANK) the projection can
be paused, or the video can be made blank temporarily.
See “Temporarily Blanking/Muting the Video/Audio”, or “Pausing the Video”
for information about operation from the remote control. See Pages E-40
and 41.
See “Blank/Mute” or “Still Image” for information about operation from the
menu. See Page E-57.
