Introduction

Projector Features
Image Resolution
Fully compatible with true SVGA(63P)/XGA(65PE), and supports SXGA
using advanced intelligent compression technology. The advanced
intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear
compression SVGA/XGA images without line omission.
Brightness
Provides superior brightness of 700 ANSI lumens using TI’s Digital
Micromirror Device (DMD) and our own optical design, with a geometric
effect that increases light usage efficiency. By increasing the light
usage efficiency we can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB)
required for color reproduction on a single DMD.
Portability
This projector has a sophisticated shape, like that of an attaché
case, with a retractable carrying handle that is extremely compact
and lightweight. It helps you make powerful presentations wherever
you go with its 5-pound weight and B5 size.
Keystone
The projection position is already set to the height of the line of
vision; there is no keystone effect. Even when projecting above or
under the height of the line of vision, image distortion (if any) can
be adjusted using the keystone correction function.
Multilanguage
The OSD (On Screen Display: information screens and menus) in 7
languages (English, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español, Swedish and
Dutch) provides you with additional information to help you make
corrections with OSD operation in your native languages.
Auto Detect System
This projector can detect display signals from PCs with frequently
used timing and do the optimization simultaneously. It does not
require complicated adjustments in order to project picture images
from PCs.

H
A
Ceiling Mount and Rear Screen Projection
The projector is equipped with a full mirror scan conversion function
(vertical/horizontal mirror), which allows the image to be reversed
for ceiling mounting as well as for rear projection applications.
AV box
An AV box is optional, and users can attach one or two to the
projector. Additionally, our AV box video standard is compatible with
NTSC U.S. and Canada standard
PAL Western Europe standard
SECAM France and Eastern
Europe standard
NTSC4.43 Middle East standard
If users want to watch CATV, AV box will serve the need.

Usage and Replacement of Lamp
The light source lamp has a limited service life.
English 12

The picture will become dark or the color will fade after the lamp
has been used for a long time. In such cases, continued use of the
lamp could cause a malfunction. Replace the lamp with a new one.
A Lamp/temperature Status LED Indicator
1. Lamp in excess of service hours
When the LED light is a continuous red, it means the lamp has
exceeded (*1500) service hours. After this light appears, it is
advisable to replace the projection lamp as soon as possible.
i. “CHANGE THE LAMP, AND RESET THE LAMP TIMER” will be displayed on
the screen if the lamp has been operated for 1200 hours (see
figure 16).
ii. “CHANGE THE LAMP, THE POWER WILL TURN OFF AFTER 20 HOURS” will
be displayed on the screen if the lamp has been operated for
1479 hours. The “20” will count down (see figure 17).
iii. “CHANGE THE LAMP!” will blink on the screen together with a red
LED if the lamp has been operated for more than (*1500) hours
(see figure 18). The power will turn off automatically after 10
minutes. All three of the above messages will not display for
more than 3 minutes, but each message will be displayed whenever
you turn on the lamp.

2. Lamp is not well attached
If the LED blinks rapidly, it indicates that the lamp is not
attached properly.
3. Temperature is too high
If the projector’s internal temperature is too hot to operate
safely, the LED will blink slowly for one minute and then the lamp
will turn off automatically.
4. Normal status
If the LED light is off, it means the lamp and temperature inside
the projector are normal.
Caution:
The lamp indicator will light when the lamp becomes too hot. Turn off the power
and let the projector cool for 45 minutes, then turn it on again. If the
indicator is still shining, contact your dealer.
B Replacing the Lamp
Replacing the lamp
When replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and unplug the AC
cord. Wait 45 minutes so that the lamp can cool. High-pressure lamp
when hit, may explode if improperly handled.
Caution:
•
•
•
•
Dispose of used lamps in accordance with local authorities.
As the lamp is made of glass, do not apply shocks to it or scratch it.
Also, do not use an old lamp, as this could cause the lamp to explode.
If it seems that the lamp has exploded (for example, an explosive sound
is heard), disconnect the power cord from the outlet and ask your
dealer to replace the lamp. The lamp is covered by a front glass panel
and an air-tight structure, but, in rare cases, the reflector and the
inside of the projector may be damaged by scattered, broken pieces of
glass, which could cause injury while being handled.
i. Turn the main power switch off and disconnect the power cord from
the outlet.
ii. Remove the lamp cover.
If hot, the lamp could cause burns. Wait for about 45 minutes
until lamp has cooled down.
•
• Loosen a screw and remove the cover.
English 14

iii. Loosen the screw and pull the handle to remove the lamp.
If the screw is not loosened completely, you could hurt your
fingers.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not insert your hand into the box after the lamp has been
removed. (There are optical parts inside that, if touched,
could result in color unevenness, etc.)
iv. Replace the lamp with a new one and fix it using the same screw.
Firmly tighten the lamp screw. Loose screws could result in a
poor connection, which could cause the unit to malfunction.
v. Install the lamp cover and fix it using a screw.
To prevent burns, install the lamp cover and secure it using
the screw.
Do not turn on power with lamp cover removed.
Whenever the lamp is replaced, reset the total operation time
of the lamp. Do not reset if the lamp has not been replaced.
Do not reset the timer without changing the lamp, as this can
cause the lamp to break.
