- in a dusty, smoky or steamy environment.
- on a sheet of paper or cloth, rugs or carpets.
• If you wish to have the projector installed on the ceiling:
- Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
- The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of
bodily injury.
- In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance
with any local building codes.
- Please consult your dealer for more information.
• For sales or service representatives:
- Use brackets that are strong enough to support the projector. (PJ WU6181N Series weighs about 8.4kg.(18.5lbs))
(Not including lens)
- The projector must be installed in a location that is sturdy enough to support the full weight of the projector and
brackets.
- Use only the screws (four M4~16 screws) provided with the projector to attach the brackets to the projector.
- Use all four of the projector’s screw holes to attach the brackets. The locations of the screw holes are shown in the
illustration below.(→page 242)Make sure that the screws are tightened firmly.
WARNING
• Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the
cap due to the heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens. Doing so could lead to
the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output.
Do not use the projector with it leaning to the left and right. This may result in a malfunction. However, portrait installation is
possible* (when a custom-designed stand is made). For portrait installation, install the projector with the intake vent at the bot-
tom and leave a space of at least 130 mm below the intake vent.

iv
Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left front (when seen from the front) as it can become heated while the
projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off. Parts of the projector may become temporarily
heated if the projector is turned off with the Power button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal
projector operation.
Use caution when picking up the projector.
• 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, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a
qualified service personnel.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits
this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
• Keep any items (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path being projected from the
lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause an
unpredictable outcome such as a fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent.
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the exhaust.
• Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with the projector.
- Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.
- Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.

❷Introduction to the Projector
This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.
Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector
This projector is one of the very best projectors available today. The projector enables you to project precise images up to 500
inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Mac computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, Blu-ray player, or document camera.
You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen, and the
projector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling*1. The remote control can be used wirelessly.
*1Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself.
The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily
injury.
In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accordance with any
local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.

and projection methods.
In addition, the lenses can be mounted and removed in one touch.
Note that no lens is mounted upon shipment from the factory. Please purchase optional lenses separately.
• Lens shift function for easily adjusting the position of the projected image
The position of the projected image is moved by turning the two dials on the projector’s front, one for the vertical direction,
one for the horizontal direction.
• 360° installation angle (tilt-free)
The projector can be installed at any angle (360°).
Note, however, that the “fan mode” setting must be changed according to the angle of installation.
Also, the projector cannot be installed tilted to the left or right.

1. Introduction
• Simultaneous display of 2 images (PIP/PICTURE BY PICTURE)
Two images can be projected simultaneously with a single projector.
There are two types of layouts for the two images: “picture-in-picture” in which a sub-picture is displayed on the main picture,
and “picture-by-picture” in which the main and sub pictures are displayed next to each other.
• Multi-screen projection using multiple projectors
This projector is equipped with multiple HDMI input & output terminals that can connect multiple projectors in a daisy chain.
A high quality picture is achieved by dividing and projecting high resolution videos among the various projectors.
Furthermore, the boundaries of the screens are smoothed using an edge blending function.
* Both the composite video signal from each input connector as the computer, BNC, and BNC (CV), and the S-video signal
from the BNC (Y/C) Input connector are not output from HDMI OUT Connector of this projector.
• Seamless switch function for smoother screen changes when switching the signal
When the input connector is switched, the image displayed before switching is held so that that the new image can be switched
to without a break due to absence of a signal.
• Supports HDMI 3D format
This projector can be used to watch videos in 3D using commercially-available active shutter-type 3D eyewear and 3D emitters
that support Xpand 3D.
Network
• Supported by wired LAN/wireless LAN (wireless LAN unit sold separately)
Ethernet Port *Video can be transmitted from a computer equipped with a RF-45 port that is connected to a wired LAN to
the projector, and the projector can also be controlled from the computer.
In addition, the all models can also be used over a wireless LAN by using a wireless LAN unit sold separately.
• LAN-compatible Viewer
The projector’s built-in Viewer allows you to view images or movie files in the shared folder of your PC connected to a wired
or wireless LAN.
* The Viewer supports the Media Sharing function of Windows Media Player 11.
• CRESTRON ROOMVIEW compatibility
The projector supports CRESTRON ROOMVIEW, allowing multiple devices connected in the network to be managed and con-
trolled from a computer or controller.
• Convenient utility software (User Supportware) provided as standard
The 2 utility software stored in the attached CD-ROM (Projection Utility (for Windows/Mac OS), Advanced Network Utility
(for Windows), ) may be used. Projection Utility (for Windows) may be started up and used from a USB memory or SD card
available commercially even without installing on a computer.

Energy-saving
• Energy-saving design with a standby power consumption of 0.11 watts (100-130 V)/0.16 watts (200-240 V)
When the on-screen menu’s standby mode is set to “NORMAL”, the power consumption in the standby mode is 0.11 watts
(100-130 V)/0.16 watts (200-240 V).
• “Eco mode” for low power consumption and “Carbon Meter” display
The projector is equipped with an “eco mode” for reducing power consumption during use. Furthermore, the power-saving
effect when the eco mode is set is converted into the amount of reductions of CO2emissions and this is indicated on the
confirmation message displayed when the power is turned off and at “Information” on the on-screen menu (CARBON METER).
