Important Safeguards
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions.
This LCD Projector has been engineered and
manufactured to meet applicable safety standards. But
IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not
to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD
Projector, observe the following basic rules for its
installation, use and servicing.
1Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before
cleaning.
2Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a
soft dry cloth to clean the LCD Projector unit. If the
unit is very dirty, wet a cloth with neutral detergent,
squeeze it tight, wipe the unit with it, and finish by
wiping with a dry cloth. Do not use a chemical duster
or polisher-cleaner because it can adversely affect
the unit and peel the paint coat.
3Do not use attachments not recommended by JVC,
as they may cause hazards.
Machine Noise Information Ordinance 3. GSGV, January 18, 1991:
The sound pressure level at the operator position is equal or less
than 44 dB (A) according to ISO 7779. (However, this is when the

4Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in
a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill
liquid into the LCD Projector.
5Do not place the LCD Projector on an
unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD
Projector may fall, which may cause
serious injury to a child or an adult,
and/or serious damage to the unit. Use
only with a cart or stand recommended
by its manufacturer, as being suitable for use with the
LCD Projector.
6The LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations
should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment
and cart combination to overturn.
7Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating,
these openings must not be blocked or covered. These
openings should never be covered with cloth or other
material. The bottom opening should not be blocked by
placing the LCD Projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. The LCD Projector should not be
placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The
LCD Projector should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase unless proper

8The LCD Projector should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the back of the LCD
Projector or in the specifications. If you are not sure of
the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
LCD Projector dealer or local power company.
9Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do
not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be
walked on.
10 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the
LCD Projector.
11 As a safety feature, the LCD Projector is equipped with
a 3-prong grounded plug. The 3-prong grounded plug
will fit only into a grounding type power outlet. If the
plug does not fit, use an adaptor that is properly
grounded or have an electrician install a grounded
type outlet. Do not attempt to modify this AC plug.
12 For added protection of the LCD Projector during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended or not in
use for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect any cable systems. This will
prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and
power-line surges.
13 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with
too many products, because this can result in fire or
electric shock.

Before using the Remote Control Unit
If the remote control unit is held so that it is facing directly in front of
the front or rear remote control signal receptors, the operating range
is within approximately 7 m (23 ft) from the surfaces of the
receptors. Furthermore, the remote control unit can be operated
from an angle of ±30 ºto the left or right and ±15 ºabove or below
the receptors. (In this case, the operating range is shortened.)
•If there are any obstacles in between the remote control unit and
the receptors, the remote control unit may not operate correctly.
•If strong light is allowed to shine onto the remote control signal
receptor, or if there are any obstacles between the remote
control signal receptor and the remote control unit, correct
remote control operation may not be possible.
•Ensure that remote control light sensor is not subject to direct
sunlight or light from fluorescent lighting. This may prevent the
remote control from operating correctly, or may cause
malfunctioning.
•If facing the remote control unit toward the screen to operate the
projector, the operating range of the remote control unit will be
limited by the amount of light reflection loss caused by the
characteristics of the screen used.
