Heed the Following
•When installing the projector, be sure to
do so as explained in this manual. The
projector may fall and cause injury if it is
installed improperly.
•To prevent the projector from falling, install
it in a place and fasten it in a way with
sufficient strength to support the combined
weight (4.9 kg) of the projector (2.9 kg)
and the ceiling mount unit (2.0 kg) for an
extended period of time as well as to
withstand earthquakes. Insufficient
strength or fastening may result in the
projector falling and causing injury.
•To ensure safety, be sure to tighten the
bolts and screws securely. Also be sure to
use the included units and other metal
fittings. Failure to do so may result in the
projector falling and causing injury.
•When sliding the opening of the mounting
adapter over the pin of the ceiling
attachment unit, check that the pin of the
ceiling attachment unit is fully seated in
the opening. If not, the projector may fall
and cause injury.
•Do not modify any parts. Doing so may
result in the projector falling and causing
injury.
WARNING
•Do not use broken parts. Doing so may
result in the projector falling and causing
injury. If a part should be broken, consult
your dealer.
•Do not look into the lens when the
projector is turned on. Doing so could
damage your eyesight.
•Make adjustments as described in this
manual.
Incorrect adjustments may result in the
projector falling and causing injury.
This symbol alerts the user that important information concerning the
operation and maintenance of this unit has been provided. The
information should be read carefully to avoid problems.

CAUTION
•Do not obstruct the projector's ventilation
holes. Doing so will prevent the dissipation
of heat and may result in fires. In
particular, do not use the projector in the
following ways:
Do not install the projector in a wall or in a
tight place where ventilation is poor, place
a cover it, etc.
•Do not install the projector in front of the
outlets of an air conditioner or heater or in
a place where vibrations are strong.
Doing so may result in fires.
•Do not install the projector in humid or
dusty places or exposed to smoke or
steam (such as near cooking equipment or
humidifiers). Doing so may result in fires.
•When installing the projector, leave
sufficient space between it and
surrounding objects. Failure to leave
sufficient space will prevent the dissipation
of heat and may result in fires.
•When removing the screws on left and
right on the mounting adapter, be sure to
support the projector while doing so.
Failing to do so may result in the projector
swinging back abruptly and causing injury.
•for PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the
socket-outlet shall be installed near the
equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Installation Precautions
•Special techniques are required for the
installation work of the projector and
installation work should only be
undertaken by qualified and licenced
installers.
•NEC Display Solutions will not accept any
responsibility related to any accidents or
incidents due to insufficient or inferior
mounting techniques.
Installation Location
Avoid places of high temperature or low
temperature.
(Ambient operating temperature: 0°C to
35°C)
Avoid places exposed to direct sunlight and
the vicinity of ventilation holes of room air
conditioning and heating.
Avoid rooms with a lot of dust, humidity,
greasy smoke, or tobacco smoke.
Dirt will adhere to optical parts such as
lenses and mirrors and this will cause a
deterioration of image quality.
Avoid places in which the screen is exposed
to direct sunlight or illumination light.
When surrounding light directly hits the
screen, the image appears washed out and
is difficult to view.

Screen Size and Projection Distance···VT676/VT670/VT570/VT470
Use this guide when considering the distance to the screen and the screen size.
• The ceiling mount unit can be adjusted up and down a maximum of +/-10˚, but if too much
of an angle is taken the image will show some distortion. Therefore, it is recommended that
an adjustment is made in conjunction with the screen projection angle.
•Recommended screen sizes for projectors are from 21 inches to 300 inches. (Screen sizes
represent the diagonal dimension.)
(*1) Distance from center of fixed ceiling part to end of main unit lens.
(*2) Distance of lens center from ceiling mount surface of fixed ceiling part.
(*3) The angle is 10.8 to 10.5˚ using a telephoto setting for distances from lens center (horizontal) to screen center.
(*4) The angle is 11.88 to 11.5˚ using a wide angle setting for distances from lens center (horizontal) to screen center.
Using the Diagrams
Referring to the diagram, screen sizes that can be used at a projection distance of 3 m will range from 82
inches to 100 inches.
To project to a screen size of 200 inches, the projection distance will range from 6 m to 7.3 according to
the diagram.
See Page 9 for the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the screen size.
The projection distance is a calculated value and as such,
there is a tolerance of +/- 5%.

Replacing the Lamp
To replace the lamp, first switch off the power and wait 60 seconds, then, after the
cooling fan has stopped, switch off the main power switch and disconnect the
power plug from the outlet. Now, wait about 60 minutes before replacing the lamp.
Attempts to replace the lamp during operation or immediately after operation has
stopped will cause burns because of the high temperature.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to catch your fingers when opening or closing the projector
mounting adapter.
CAUTION!
When performing the lamp replacement work, take care not to exert force on the
projector. Application of a large force could cause the projector to fall and cause
injury.
WARNING!
Open the Projector Mounting Adapter
Remove the two screws from the front face of the projector mounting adapter.
Place your hand underneath the projector so that the mounting adapter does not
open suddenly.
Replacing the Lamp
Please refer to the instruction manual of the replacement lamp kit (Model
VT70LP/VT75LP).
Return the Projector to the Original Condition
Follow the procedure in the reverse order to fix the projector mounting adapter in
place.

上下端
Upper and lower
edges
Before the Adjustment
•Refer to the instruction manual of the projector, switch on the power and project an
image.
• Refer to the section "Orientation " of Setup and select the projection orientation.
Select "Ceiling/Front" when projection is from the front side, and "Ceiling/Rear"
when projection is from the rear side.
•Provisionally determine the projection size with the manual zoom, then perform the
angle adjustment.
Adjustment of the projection angle should generally follow the steps described below.
1. Distortion Adjustment
Adjust each of the left-right, up-down, and
inclination angles so that the projected image
becomes rectangular.
It is acceptable if the image extends beyond
the screen at this time.
2. Fine Adjustment
Adjust the lens shift function of Finely
adjust each of the left-right, up-down, and
inclination angles of the fittings so that the
projected image coincides with the screen.
Adjust the Left-Right
Angle
Turn the projector left and right so
that the upper and lower edges of
the screen are parallel, then firmly
tighten the four left-right angle
adjustment screws. It is acceptable if
the image extends beyond the
screen.

Adjustment of the Projection Angle
Adjust the Up-Down Angle
Turn the projector up and down so that the left and right edges of the screen are
parallel, then firmly tighten the four up-down angle adjustment screws. It is acceptable
if the image extends beyond the screen.
Maximum adjustment angle +/-10˚
Up-down angle adjustment screws
(There are also screws on the opposite side.)
Adjust the Inclination
Adjust so that the image is projected to the screen without being slanted, then firmly
tighten the four inclination adjustment screws. Lastly, tighten the two inclination axis
screws if they are loose.
Maximum adjustment angle +/-10˚

Adjustment of the Projection Angle
Fine Adjustment
After the adjustments, check that the parts are fixed securely.
Loosen the same screws that were used in the distortion adjustment and
finely adjust the angle so that the projected image fits the screen, then tighten
all the screws (i.e., a total of 14 including the inclination axis screws).
