• For special installation such as ceiling mounting, be sure to consult your dealer
beforehand.
► Do not install the projector near thermally conductive or ammable
things. Such things when heated by the projector could result in a re and burns.
• Do not place the projector on a metal stand.
►Do not place the projector where any oils, such as cooking or machine
oil, are used. Oil may harm the product, resulting in malfunction, or falling from
the mounted position.
►Do not place the projector in a place where it may get wet. Getting the
projector wet or inserting liquid into the projector could cause a re and an
electric shock, and damage the projector.

anything around the projector that could be sucked in or stuck to the projector's
intake vents.
• Do not place the projector at places that are exposed to magnetic elds, doing
so can cause the cooling fans inside the projector to malfunction.
►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place. Placing the
projector in such places could cause a re, an electric shock and malfunction of
the projector.
• Do not place the projector near humidiers. Especially for an ultrasonic
humidier, chlorine and minerals contained in tap water are atomized and could
be deposited in the projector causing image degradation or other problems.
• Do not place the projector in a smoking area, kitchen, passageway or by the
window.
• Position the projector to prevent light from directly hitting the
projector's remote sensor.
• Do not place the product in a place where radio interference may be caused.

Connecting with your devices (continued)
• If a loud feedback noise is produced from the speaker, move the
microphone away from the speaker.
NOTE
• You can connect a dynamic microphone to the MIC port with a 3.5 mm mini-plug.
In that case, the built-in speaker outputs the sound from the microphone, even
while the sound from the projector is output. You can input line level signal to
the MIC port from equipment such as wireless microphone. Select HIGH in the
MIC LEVEL item of the AUDIO menu when you input line level audio signal
to the MIC port. In the normal mode, the volume of the microphone can be
adjusted separately from the volume of the projector using the menu (46, 47).
In the standby mode, the volume of the microphone is adjustable with the
VOLUME +/- buttons on the remote control, in synchronization with the volume
of the projector (19).
Even when the sound of projector is set to mute mode by the AUDIO SOURCE
function (46), the volume of the microphone is adjustable.
In both modes (standby or normal), the MUTE button on the remote control
works on the sounds of the microphone and the projector (19).
