Owner’s Manual
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 maintains it in better condition for a considerable time.
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 at the end of this booklet.  If the problem still persists, contact the
sales dealer where you purchased the projector or the service center.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING :  TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
G This projector produces intense light from  the projection lens.    Do not stare directly into the lens as it could
possibly damage your eyes.  Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
G This projector should be installed as shown.  If not, it may result in a fire hazard.
G Provide  appropriate  space  on  the  top,  sides  and  rear  of  the
projector  cabinet  for  allowing  air  circulation  and  cooling  the
projector.    Minimum  clearance  must  be  maintained.    If  the
projector  is  to  be  built  into  a  compartment  or  similarly  enclosed,
the  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.

cleaning.  Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the projector.
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.
For added protection to the projector during a 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 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.
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.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided  for  ventilation,  to  insure  reliable  operation  of  the
equipment and to protect it from overheating.
The  openings  should  never  be  covered  with  cloth  or  other
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.
Unplug  this  projector  from  wall  outlet  and  refer  servicing  to
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  are
covered  by  the  operating  instructions  as  improper
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.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this projector, ask
the  service  technician  to  perform  routine  safety  checks  to
determine that the projector is in safe operating condition.
