Setting up
Install the projector according to the environment and manner the projector will be
used in.
Arrangement
Refer to the illustrations and tables below to determine screen size and projection
distance.
The values shown in the table are calculated for a full size screen: 1280 x 800
a Screen size (diagonal) b Projection distance (±8%)
c1 , c2 Screen height
Setting up
• The screen position may shift after installation if the projector is suspended from
the ceiling or other location due to the exibility of the plastic projector body. If
readjustment is necessary, consult with your dealer or service personnel.
• The projected image position and/or focus may change during warm-up (approx.
30 minutes after the lamp is turned on) or when the ambient conditions change.
Readjust the image position and/or focus as necessary.
• Since the projector features an ultra short throw, be aware that it is required to
select a screen carefully to have better performance.
- A soft screen such as a pull-down screen may cause serious distortion of a
projected image. A hard screen such as a board screen is recommended for use with
this projector.
- A high-gain screen such as a bead screen that has narrow viewing angle is not
suitable for this projector. A low-gain screen (around 1.0) such as a matte screen
that has wide viewing angle is recommended for use with this projector.
- A screen with a weave pattern may cause moiré on the projected image,
which is not a failure of the projector. A screen that has less moiré effects is
recommended for use with this projector.

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 sufcient
ventilation. The high temperature of the projector could cause re, burns and/or
malfunction of the projector.
• Do not place or attach anything that would block the lens or vent holes.
• 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.

wet or inserting liquid into the projector could cause re, electric shock and/or
malfunction of the projector.
• Do not place the projector in a bathroom or the outdoors.
• Do not place anything containing liquid near the projector.
►Use only the mounting accessories the manufacturer specied, and leave
installing and removing the projector with the mounting accessories to the
service personnel.

►Avoid placing the projector in smoky, humid or dusty place.
Placing the projector in such places could cause re, electric shock and/or
malfunction of the projector.
• Do not place the projector near humidiers, smoking spaces or a kitchen.
►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.
►Do not place this product in a magnetic eld.

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.

10
Connecting your devices (continued)
Setting up
►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 speci c 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.
►Be sure to consult the administrator of the network. Do not connect LAN port
to any network that might have the excessive voltage.
NOTICE ►Use the cables with straight plugs, not L-shaped ones, as the
input ports of the projector are recessed.
CAUTION
To use network functions of the projector, connect the LAN port to the computer's
LAN port.
To use NETWORK BRIDGE function, also connect the CONTROL port and an
RS-232C port of the external device to communicate as a network terminal. See

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 ts 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.
• The HDMI port of this model is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) and therefore capable of displaying a video signal from
HDCP compatible DVD players or the like.
NOTE
