About burning-in of the D-ILA device
Do not allow the same still picture to be projected for a long time or an abnormally bright
video picture to be projected. The video image could be burned in to the D-ILA device.
Burned in images are not covered under warranty.
Use special care when projecting video games or computer program images. There is no
problem with ordinary video-cassette playback images.

manufactured to assure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. In order not to defeat the
safeguards incorporated into this product, observe the following basic rules for its installa-
tion, use and service. Please read these “Important Safeguards” carefully before use.

▲ All operating instructions should be followed.
▲ Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
▲ Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may
be hazardous.
▲ Do not use this product near water. Do not use immediately after moving from a low
temperature to high temperature, as this causes condensation, which may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
▲ Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. The
product should be mounted according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mount recommended by the manufacturer.
▲ When the product is used on a cart, care should be taken to avoid quick stops, exces-
sive force, and uneven surfaces which may cause the product and cart to overturn,
damaging equipment or causing possible injury to the operator.
▲ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These ensure reliable
operation of the product and protect it from overheating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. (The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on
bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. It should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the manufacturer’s
instructions have been adhered to.)
▲ For proper ventilation, separate the product from other equipment, which may prevent
ventilation and keep distance more than 19-3/4” (50 cm).
▲ This product should be operated only with the type of power source indicated on the
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your prod-
uct dealer or local power company.
▲ This product is equipped with a three-wire plug. This plug will fit only into a grounded
power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electri-
cian to install the proper outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
▲ Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
▲ For added protection of this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning
and power line surges.
3

▲ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other
equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
▲ Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.
▲ Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Refer all service to qualified serv-
ice personnel.
▲ Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified service person-
nel under the following conditions:
a) When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen on the product.
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the Operation Manual, as an improp-
er adjustment of controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f ) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a
need for service.
▲ When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replace-
ment parts specified by the manufacturer or with same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
▲ Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
▲ The product should be placed more than one foot away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that pro-
duce heat.
▲ When connecting other products such as VCR’s, and personal computers, you should
turn off the power of this product for protection against electric shock.
▲ Do not place combustibles behind the cooling fan. For example, cloth, paper, matches,
aerosol cans or gas lighters that present special hazards when over heated.
▲ Do not look into the projection lens while the illumination lamp is turned on.
Exposure of your eyes to the strong light can result in impaired eyesight.

▲ Do not look into the inside of this unit through vents (ventilation holes), etc. Do not
look at the illumination lamp directly by opening the cabinet while the illumination
lamp is turned on. The illumination lamp also contains ultraviolet rays and the light
is so powerful that your eyesight can be impaired.
▲ Xenon gas is enclosed with high pressure inside the light-source lamp (lamp unit) of
this projector. If you drop, or impart a shock to the lamp, or discard it as is, there is the
possibility of explosion, leading to personal injury. Use special care when handling the
lamp. For any unclear points, consult your product dealer.
▲ Use only the accessory cord designed for this product to prevent shock.
The power supply voltage rating of this product is AC 120 V, the power cord attached
conforms to the following power supply voltage. Use only the power cord designated by
our dealer to ensure Safety and EMC.
When it is used by other power supply voltage, power cable must be changed.
Consult your Madrigal Imaging dealer.
* DO NOT allow any unqualified person to install the unit. Be sure to ask your dealer
to install the unit (eg. attaching it to the ceiling) since special technical knowledge
