reference.
●Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light
beam may damage your eyes.
●
●Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector light
source has been switched on.
●In some areas there may be line voltage instability. This projector is designed to
operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if
power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains voltage may
a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
●Do not obstruct the projection lens with any objects when the projector is switched on.
●Place the projector on a flat, stable surface to avoid any damage.
●Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. The projector contains high voltage
parts that may cause electrocution or death when it comes in contact with the human
body. Do not disassemble or remove any covers.
●Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.
-
- Environments of extreme heat or cold.
- Areas that are extremely humid, dusty, or smoky may contaminate optical
components, shortening the projector's life span and darkening the image.
-
- Locations with altitudes greater than 3000 m (10000 feet).

2
●Do not block the ventilation holes. If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed,
- Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
-
●Do not step on the projector or place any objects on top of it. These acts may damage
the projector itself as well as cause accidents or personal injury.

Projector Positioning
Choosing a location
installation. Considerations include size and position of the screen, location of a suitable
power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and other
equipment.
There are 4 potential installation locations for the projector:

from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase a Projector Ceiling Mounting bracket from your
dealer to mount your projector from the ceiling.
After activating your projector, go to System Settings:
Projector Position menu and set to Front Ceiling.
3. Rear Ceiling
For this location, the projector is suspended upside-down
from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and Projector
Ceiling Mounting bracket are required for this installation
location.
After activating your projector, go to System Settings:
Projector Position menu and select Rear Ceiling.
4. Rear Table
For this location, the projector is placed right behind the
screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
After turning on the projector, go to System Settings:
Projector Position menu and select Rear Table.
You may refer to the room layout or personal preference to determine the location of

• HDMI
• Component video
• Video (composite video)
Only 1 of the aforementioned connection methods is required to connect the projector to
the video source device. However, different connection methods would provide a different
video quality. The connection method selected would be determined by the presence of
matching jacks on the projector and Video source device:
Best video quality

Please refer to “Connecting to HDMI devices” for details on how to connect the projector to
HDMI devices.
If you don’t have any usable HDMI source, the next best video signal would be Component
Video (not to be confused with Composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players are
provided with Component Video output sockets. If your device includes Component Video,
then this would be your primary choice of connection to the (composite) video.
Please refer to “To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:” for details
on how to connect your projector to Component Video devices.

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method to use to connect to the device.
1. Take a VGA (D-Sub) Component adapter cable and connect the end with 3 RCA
type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device.
Match the colour of the plugs to the colour of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue,
and red to red.
2. Connect the end of the VGA (D-Sub) Component adapter cable (with the D-Sub type
connector) to the COMPUTER jack on the projector.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating
correctly. You must also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
Connecting to composite video source devices
Examine your

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method to use to connect to the device.
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the
Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating
correctly. You must also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
When the component video is not available, use the composite video connection method to
