Installation Precautions
yAlways provide proper ventilation for
this projector.
- The projector is equipped with
ventilation holes. Do not block or
place anything near these holes.
Internal heat build-up may occur,
causing picture degradation or
damage to the projector.
- Do not place the projector on
a carpet, rug or other similar
surface. It may prevent a adequate
ventilation of the projector bottom.
This product should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only.
- Never push the projector or spill
any kind of liquid into the projector.
- Leave an adequate distance (30
cm or more) around the projector.
yPlace this projector in adequate
temperature and humidity
conditions.
- Install this projector only in
a location where adequate
temperature and humidity is
available. (See p.68)
yDon’t place the projector where it
can be covered with excessive dust.
- This may cause overheating of the
projector.
yDo not obstruct the slots and
openings of the projector. This may
cause overheating and cause a fire
hazard.
yThis projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/
or bright points (red, blue or green)
that continuously appear on the
projector Screen. This is a normal
result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
yThe remote control may not
work when a lamp equipped
with electronic ballast or a three-
wavelength lamp is installed.
Replace those lamps with
international standard products to
use the remote control normally.

ASSEMBLING AND PREPARING
Basic Operation of the Projector
1Place the projector on a sturdy and horizontal surface.
2Place the projector with the desired distance from the screen. The distance
between the projector and the screen determines the actual size of the image.
3Position the projector so that the lens is set at a right angle to the screen. If the
projector is not set at a right angle, the screen image will be crooked. Although,
slight angles can be counteracted using the Keystone adjustement. (See p.21).
4After placing the projector in its desired location, connect the video input(s).
Then connect the power cable to the projector and the wall outlet.
