Setting up
►Place the projector in a stable horizontal position. If the
projector falls or is knocked over, it could cause injury and/or damage to the
projector. Using a damaged projector could then result in fire and/or electric
shock.
• Do not place the projector on an unstable, slanted or vibrational surface such
as a wobbly or inclined stand.
• Do not place the projector on its side, front or rear position.
• Consult with your dealer before a special installation such as suspending from
a ceiling or somewhere else.
►Place the projector in a cool place, and ensure that there is sufficient
ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause fire, burns and/or
malfunction of the projector.
• Do not stop-up, block or otherwise cover the projector’s vents.
• Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the sides of the projector and other
objects such as walls.
• Do not place the projector on metallic thing or anything weak in heat.
• Do not place the projector on carpet, cushions or bedding.
• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight or near hot objects such as heaters.
• Do not place anything near the projector lens or vents, or on top of the

Connecting your devices
Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to the projector.
Make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected with this product, and
prepare the cables required to connect. Please refer to the following illustrations
to connect them.
VCR/DVD player
PCMonitor
►Do not disassemble or modify the projector and accessories.
►Be careful not to damage the cables, and do not use damaged cables.
WARNING
►Turn off all devices and unplug their power cords prior to
connecting them to projector. Connecting a live device to the projector may
generate extremely loud noises or other abnormalities that may result in
malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.
►Use appropriate accessory or designated cables. Ask your dealer about non-
accessory cables which may be required a specific length or a ferrite core by
the regulations. For cables with a core only at one end, connect the end with
the core to the projector.
►Make sure that devices are connected to the correct ports. An incorrect
connection may result in malfunction or damage to the device and the projector.
NOTICE ►Use the cables with straight plugs, not L-shaped ones, as the
input ports of the projector are recessed.
CAUTION

Setting up
• Be sure to read the manuals for devices before connecting them to
the projector, and make sure that all the devices are suitable to be connected
with this product. Before connecting to a PC, check the signal level, the signal
timing, and the resolution.
- Some signal may need an adapter to input this projector.
- Some PCs have multiple screen display modes that may include some signals
which are not supported by this projector.
- Although the projector can display signals with resolution up to UXGA
(1600X1200), the signal will be converted to the projector’s panel resolution
before being displayed. The best display performance will be achieved if the
resolutions of the input signal and the projector panel are identical.
• While connecting, make sure that the shape of the cable’s connector fits the
port to connect with. And be sure to tighten the screws on connectors with
screws.
• When connecting a laptop PC to the projector, be sure to activate the PC’s
external RGB output. (Set the laptop PC to CRT display or to simultaneous
LCD and CRT display.) For details on how this is done, please refer to the
instruction manual of the corresponding laptop PC.
• When the picture resolution is changed on a PC depending on an input,
automatic adjustment function may take some time and may not be completed.
In this case, you may not be able to see a check box to select “Yes/No” for the
new resolution on Windows. Then the resolution will go back to the original.
It might be recommended to use other CRT or LCD monitors to change the
resolution.
• In some cases, this projector may not display a proper picture or display
any picture on screen. For example, automatic adjustment may not function
correctly with some input signals. An input signal of composite sync or sync on
G may confuse this projector, so the projector may not display a proper picture.
NOTE
About Plug-and-Play capability
Plug-and-Play is a system composed of a PC, its operating system and
peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices). This projector is VESA DDC 2B
compatible. Plug-and-Play can be used by connecting this projector to a PC
that is VESA DDC (display data channel) compatible.
• Take advantage of this feature by connecting a computer cable to the
COMPUTER IN port (DDC 2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work
properly if any other type of connection is attempted.
• Please use the standard drivers in your PC as this projector is a Plug-and-
Play monitor.
Connecting your devices (continued)

Setting up
Connecting power supply
1. Put the connector of the power cord into the
AC IN (AC inlet) of the projector.
2. Firmly plug the power cord’s plug into the
outlet. In a couple of seconds after the
power supply connection, the POWER
indicator will light up in steady orange.
►Please use extra caution when connecting the power cord, as
incorrect or faulty connections may result in fire and/or electrical shock.
• Only use the power cord that came with the projector. If it is damaged, consult
your dealer to get a new one.
• Only plug the power cord into an outlet whose voltage is matched to the power
cord. The power outlet should be close to the projector and easily accessible.
Remove the power cord for complete separation.
• Never modify the power cord.
WARNING
Using the security bar and slot
AC IN Power cord
A commercial anti-theft chain or wire up to
10 mm in diameter can be attached to the
security bar on the projector.
Also this product has the security slot for
the Kensington lock.
For details, see the manual of the security
tool.
►Do not use the security bar and slot to prevent the projector
from falling down, since it is not designed for it.
WARNING
►Do not place anti-theft chain or wire near the exhaust vents. It
may become too hot.
CAUTION
• The security bar and slot is not comprehensive theft prevention
measures. It is intended to be used as supplemental theft prevention measure.

About the remote control signal
The remote control works with the projector’s remote
sensor. This projector has a remote sensor on the front.
The sensor senses the signal within the following range
when the sensor is active:
60 degrees (30 degrees to the left and right of the sensor)
within 3 meters about.
• The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be
available. If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to
make the signal reflect.
• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1
LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct
sun light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter
fluorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the
position of projector avoiding those lights.
