1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are
unobstructed to prevent potentially dangerous concentra-
tionsofozoneandthebuild-upofheatinsideyourprojector.
Allow at least 8 inches (20cm) of space between your
projectorandawall.Allowatleast20inches(50cm)ofspace
between the ventilation duct outlet and object.
2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper
from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve
any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert
any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your
projector. If something should fall into your projector, dis-
connect it immediately and have the object removed by a
qualified your service person.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
CAUTION: HighPressureLamp May Explode if Improperly Handled.
Refer Servicing to Qualified Service Personnel.
Lamp Caution: Please read before operation
Due to the lamp being sealed in a pressurized environment,
there is a small risk of explosion, if not operated correctly.
There is minimal risk involved, if the unit is in proper
working order, but if damaged or operated beyond the
recommended 1500 hours, the risk of explosion increases.
Please note that there is a warning system built in, that
displays the following message when you reach 1500
hours of operation”Lamp Running Time is Over 1500
Hours!!”When you see this message please contact your
NEC Dealer for a replacement.
If the lamp does explode, smoke will be discharged from
the vents located on the side of the unit. This smoke is
comprised of glass in particulate form and Xenon gas, and
will not cause harm if kept out of your eyes. If your eyes
have been exposed to this gas, please flush your eyes out
with water immediately and seek immediate medical
attention. Do not rub your eyes! This could cause
serious injury.
WARNING:Donotlookintothelenswhiletheprojectorison.
Serious damage to your eyes could result.
Important Safeguards
These safety instructions are to ensure the long life of your
projector and to prevent fire and shock. Please read them
carefully and heed all warnings.
Installation
1. Place the projector on a flat, level surface and in a dry area
free from dust and moisture.
2. Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, near heaters or
heat radiating appliances.
3. Exposure to direct sunlight, smoke or steam could harm
internal components.
4. Handle your projector carefully. Dropping or jarring your
projector could damage internal components.
5. Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector.
6. If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
a Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
b Theprojectormustbeinstalledbyqualifiedtechniciansin
order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of
bodily injury.
c In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support
the projector and the installation must be in accordance
with any local building codes.
d Please consult your dealer for more information.
e Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling.
Power Supply
1. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of
1.0KWAC100-120/1.5KWAC200-240V50/60Hz.Ensure
that your power supply fits this requirement before attempt-
ing to use your projector.
2. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bend-
ing. A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
3. If the projector will not be used for an extended period of
time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
4. Placing the power cord and the RGB cable closely to each
other can cause beat noise. If this happens, keep the two
separated so that beat noise is not generated.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the projector before cleaning.
2. Clean the cabinet periodically with a damp cloth. If heavily
soiled, use a mild detergent. Never use strong detergents or
solvents such as alcohol or thinner.
3. Use a blower or lens paper to clean the lens, and be careful
not to scratch or mar the lens.
CAUTION
Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one
of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the
projector:
• While the Hour Glass icon appears.
• While the message "Please wait a little." appears.This message
will be displayed after the projector is turned off.
• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall out-
let (the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady amber
glow).
• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (After the pro-
jector is turned off with the POWER OFF button the cooling
fan continues to work for 3 minutes while the Two Digit INDI-
CATOR "--" flashes).

fumée est composée de verre sous forme de particules et
de gaz de Xenon, et n'est pas nuisible si elle est maintenue
àdistance des yeux. Si les yeux sont exposés àce gaz, les
rincer immédiatement àl'eau courante et consulter tout de
suite un médecin. Ne pas frotter les yeux ! Cela pourrait
provoquer une grave blessure.

INTRODUCTION
This section introduces you to your new MultiSync XT5000 Projec-
tor, provides a list of materials that comes with your projector and
describes the features and controls.
Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The
MultiSync XT5000 Projector
The MultiSync XT5000 is one of the finest, most technically advanced
projectors available today. The XT5000 enables you to project excep-
tionally bright, precise images up to 500 inches across (measured di-
agonally)from your PCor Macintosh computer(desktop or notebook),
VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player and even an
HD VCR or HD laser disc player.
You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can permanently
mount it on a ceiling*, or you can use the projector to project images
from behind the screen. The remote control can be used in a wired or
wireless configuration.
Features you'll enjoy :
•A high-performance 1.0 KW Xenon lamp that delivers 4500ANSI
lumens (High Bright mode) and 4000ANSI lumens (Normal mode)
and lamp life is 1500 hours.
•NEC’s unique DLPTM based light engine offers true color reproduc-
tion.
•XT5000 can accommodate any picture size from 80 to 500 inches
(measured diagonally).
•The XT5000 projects images with uniform brightness while colors
remain true to their original source.
•The projector can be double or even triple stacked without an exter-
nal frame, producing bright images of 9,000 or 13,500 ANSI lu-
mens in addition, double or triple stacking offers built-in redun-
dancy.
•An image can be projected from in front or behind a screen, and the
projector can even be installed on the ceiling*.
•Supports RGB digital, HDTV and DVD signals as well as most
IBMVGA, S-VGA, XGA, SXGA(scaling), Macintosh or any other
RGB signals within a horizontal frequency range or 15 to 83.5 kHz
and a vertical frequency range of 50 to 85 Hz. This includes
NTSC3.58, PAL, PAL60, SECAM, NTSC4.43, Y/C and 1080I,
720P and 480P HDTV standard video signals.
•Built-in telecine detection enables 3:2 pull-down correction with
no external processing necessary, eliminating jitter and artifacts to
allow for original film source motion quality.
•A newly designed menu system provides for easy setup and opera-
tion of the projector.
•The remote control can be used wired or wireless.
* Installing the projector on the ceiling must be done by authorized
NEC technicians.
