Safety Instructions
WARNING:
The chassis of this projector is isolated (COLD) from AC line by using the converter transformer. Primary side
of the converter and lamp power supply unit circuit is connected to the AC line and it is hot, which hot circuit is
identified with the line ( ) in the schematic diagram. For continued product safety and protection of per-
sonnel injury, servicing should be made with qualified personnel.
The following precautions must be observed.
Safety Precautions
1: An isolation transformer should be connected in
the power line between the projector and the AC
line before any service is performed on the projec-
tor.
2: Comply with all caution and safety-related notes
provided on the cabinet back, cabinet bottom, inside
the cabinet or on the chassis.
3: When replacing a chassis in the cabinet, always
be certain that all the protective devices are
installed properly, such as, control knobs, adjust-
ment covers or shields, barriers, etc.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS PROJECTOR WITHOUT
THE PROTECTIVE SHIELD IN POSITION AND PR
OPERLY SECURED.
4: Before replacing the cabinet cover, thoroughly
inspect the inside of the cabinet to see that no stray
parts or tools have been left inside.
Before returning any projector to the customer, the
service personnel must be sure it is completely safe
to operate without danger of electric shock.
Service Personnel Warning
Eye damage may result from directly viewing the light produced by the Lamp used in this equipment. Always
turn off Lamp before opening cover. The Ultraviolet radiation eye protection required during this servicing.
Never turn the power on without the lamp to avoid electric-shock or damage of the devices since the stabilizer
generates high voltages (15kV - 25kV) at its starts.
Since the lamp is very high temperature during units operation replacement of the lamp should be done at least
45 minutes after the power has been turned off, to allow the lamp cool-off.
Product Safety Notice
Product safety should be considered when a component replacement is made in any area of the projector.
Components indicated by mark !in the parts list and the schematic diagram designate components in which
safety can be of special significance. It is, therefore, particularly recommended that the replacement of there
parts must be made by exactly the same parts.

Maintenance
Filter Instructions
Filter prevents dust from accumulating on the optical elements inside the projector. Should the filter becomes
clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in internal heat buildup and
adversely affect the life of the projector. This projector has an electrically operated filter which helps you to replace
the filter easily. The projector monitors the condition of the filter at all time and replaces a filter with a new one
automatically when it detects the clogging.
If the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting (p. 56), a Filter
replacement icon (Fig.1) appears on the screen and the WARNING
FILTER indicator on the top panel lights up. When you see this icon,
replace the filter as soon as possible. If the filter is out of scroll and
the projector reaches a time set in the timer setting, Fig. 2 appears
on the screen, indicating that the filter cartridge replacement is nec-
essary.
When the filter scroll is counted down to 1, the Last scroll icon
(Fig.3) appears on the screen, indicating that there is one scroll left
in the filter cartridge.
If the projector detects that the filter is clogged and no scroll is left
in the filter cartridge, a Filter cartridge replacement icon (Fig. 4) ap-
pears on the screen and the WARNING FILTER indicator on the top
panel lights up. When you see this icon, replace the filter cartridge
and reset the Filter counter and the Scroll counter.
When the filter is being scrolled by the remote control or the Fil-
ter control function in the setting menu, a Filter replacement icon
and “Please wait...” message (Fig.5) appear on the screen and the
WARNING FILTER indicator blinks slow (approx. 2 seconds ON, 2
seconds OFF).
The WARNING FILTER indicator blinks fast when the projector de-
tects an abnormal condition, the filter cartridge is not installed prop-
erly, or the filter scroll is not working properly.

✔Note:
• Fig.1, Fig.2, Fig.3 or Fig. 4 will not appear when the
Display function is set to “Off”, or during “Freeze”.
• The filter cannot be rewound.
• The filter can be scrolled 9 times since the filter cartridge
has 10 scrolls.
• The filter cartridge is disposable. Do not clean and reuse
the filter cartridge.
• Do not expose the filter cartridge to water or liquid, or it
may cause a breakdown.
• Replace the filter cartridge after all the scroll is used up. If
you replace the filter cartridge when there are some scrolls
left in the filter cartridge, the filter counter and the scroll
counter do not recognize the correct number of remaining
scrolls and the reset function cannot work properly. It may
cause a breakdown.
• The used part of the filter can be seen on the edge of the
Filter cartridge after scrolling the filter, but there is no prob-
lem for the use of the projector.
• Do not use the filter cartridge with other projector. The filter
counter and the scroll counter do not recognize the correct
number of remaining scrolls of the used filter cartridge and
the reset function cannot work properly. It may cause a
breakdown.
• Make sure that the projection lamps are turned off when
you are replacing the filter cartridge. If you replace the filter
cartridge when the projection lamps are turned on, the
projector will be shut down automatically for safety pur-
poses.
• Do not forget to reset the filter counter and the scroll coun-
ter in the setting menu after replacing the filter cartridge.
If you forget to reset the filter counter and the scroll coun-
ter, the projector cannot recognize the correct number of
remaining scrolls and it may cause a breakdown.
• When the projector is kept used for 3 minutes without get-
ting the filter cartridge replaced after the Fig.4 appears on
the screen, the projector is turned off automatically to pre-
vent the damage of optical components.

BE SURE TO CHECK FOR SAFETY
After installing or replacing the lens, be sure to check the following for safety.
1. Check the lens is securely fixed
with the screws.
2. Check no wiring is damaged or
tangled on the gear of the lens motor or the other mechanical parts.
3. Check no part is missing, and
no mounting part is loose.
When the lens is attached to the projector and images are being projected onto the screen, the peripheral focus may be out of focus in some localized areas. If this happens, insert the one, of three sizes of spacers, in between the Lens Attachment and the lens to adjust the focus. Inserting the Spacer corrects the distance on the Lens Adjustment and improves the diagonal focus. The corrected distance is determined by the thickness of the used spacers. As a guide, the distance is adjusted by approximately 30 mm for each 0.1-mm thickness of the spacers. There are three types of spacers provided, and there are four of each spacer type. Use these spacers to correct the distance as required.
