1 Safety Precautions
1.1. General Guidelines
· For continued safety, no modification of any circuit must be
attempted.
· Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
disassembling this projector.
· Use correctly the supplied power cord and must ground it.
· It is advisable to use an isolation transformer in the AC
power line before the service.
· Be careful not to touch the rotation part (cooling fan, etc.) of
this projector when you service with the upper case
removed and the power supply turned ON.
· Observe the original lead dress during the service. If a short
circuit is found, replace all the parts overheated or
damaged by the short circuit.
· After the service, all the protective devices such as
insulation barriers, insulation papers, shields, and isolation
R-C combinations must be properly installed.
· After the service, check the leakage current to prevent the
customer from getting an electric shock.
1.2. Leakage Current Check
1.Prepare the measuring circuit as shown in Fig.1.
Be sure to use a voltmeter having the performance
described in Table 1.
Fig. 1
Table 1
Fig. 2
2.Assemble the circuit as shown in Fig. 2. Plug the power
cord in a power outlet.
3.Connect M1 to T1 according to Fig. 2 and measure the
voltage.
4.Change the connection of M1 from T1 to T2 and measure
the voltage again.
5.The voltmeter must read 0.375 V or lower in both of steps
3 and 4. This means that the current must be 0.75 mA or
less.
6.If the reading is out of the above standard, the projector
must be repaired and rechecked before returning to the
customer because of a possibility of an electric shock.
1.3. UV Precaution and UHM Lamp
Precautions
· Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet
when replacing the lamp.
· Because the lamp reaches a very high temperature during
its operation, wait until it cools completely when replacing
the Lamp Unit.
· The lamp emits small amounts of UV-radiation, avoid direct-
eye contact with the light.
· The lamp unit has high internal pressure. If improperly
handled, explosion might result.
· Because the high pressure lamp involves a risk of failure,
never touch the lamp wire lead during the service. (See Fig.
3)

shifted by your fingers.
Note:
· The panel adjustment fittings set (panel attachment,
panel adjuster and base plate) is an option for
service.
6.Reassemble the projector in the reverse order of
disassembling, but leave the upper case and the screws
fixing the A-P.C.Board block as they are removed.
7.Adjust the convergence according to the section 8.4.
"Convergence Adjustment".
8.After the adjustment, while paying attention not to vary the
adjusting result, tighten the 2 screws fixing the panel
attachment with a hexagon head wrench.
Notes:
· Prepare a hexagon head wrench processed short.
9.Reassemble the projector as it was.
7.20. LCD Panel Discrimination
ID-tag seal color LCD panel
Red LCD panel (R)
Blue LCD panel (B)
(No seal) LCD panel (G)
· Since the ID-tag seal is pasted to the FPC of LCD Panel,
(R), (G) or (B) can be easily identified by the color of the
seal.
· Finally, identify the panel color by the part number printed
on the FPC.
7.21. LCD Panel Combination
· Part number is printed on the FPC of LCD Panel.
· When replacing LCD Panel, use a component which has
the same part number as the original.

7.22. Replacement of Incidence
Polarizer (G)
1.Remove the A-P.C.Board block according to the steps 1
through 4 in the section 7.3. "Removal of A-P.C.Board".
2.Mark positions of the incidence polarizer (G).
Note:
· Mark accurately as possible because the marks will
be used for resetting the incidence polarizer
position.
3.Unscrew the 1 screw and remove the incidence polarizer
(G).
4.Attach a new incidence polarizer (G) and align it with the
mark.
5.Tighten the 1 screw with care not to move the incidence
polarizer position.

7.23. Replacement of Incidence
Polarizer (R and B)
1.Remove the A-P.C.Board block according to the steps 1
through 4 in the section 7.3. "Removal of A-P.C.Board".
2.Unscrew the 2 screws and remove the LCD block.
Note:
· Be careful not to touch the surface of prism and LCD
panel.
3.Unscrew the 3 screws and remove the analysis case
(upper) .
Note:
· The incidence polarizer (G) is installed in the
analysis case (upper). Handle with care not to apply
external force to the incidence polarizer (G).
4.Replace the incidence polarizer.
Note:
· Be careful not to touch the surface of incidence
polarizer.
7.24. Replacement of Projection
Polarizer
· The procedure is described as an example of projection
polarizer (B).
1.Remove the LCD block according to the section 7.18.
"Removal of LCD Block".
2.Remove the projection polarizer which requires replacing.
(The projection polarizer is secured with adhesive tape.)
Notes:
· Be careful not to damage peripheral components
(prism, LCD panel, etc.).
· Use tweezers.
3.Install new projection polarizer.
a.Put adhesive tape on the projection polarizer.
b.Stick the projection polarizer on the specified position.
Notes:
· Align the projection polarizer with the guides
(lower, side) of LCD block.
· Be careful not to touch the surface of projection
polarizer.
· Use tweezers.
c.Press the adhesive part and secure the projection
polarizer.
