Images can be projected regardless of the location.
• The keystone distortion that occurs as a result of the projector being tilted using the front adjustable foot can be corrected.
(Automatic keystone correction
)
• The keystone distortion that occurs when projecting from the side of the screen can also be corrected.
(Vertical correction and horizontal
• If vertical keystone correction causes the height of projected images to be too short, the height of the projection area can also be adjusted. (Height correction
)
• The Quick Corner function can be used to correct the four corners of the projection area to make the images fit the screen exactly.
Wall Shot
Images can be projected in places without a screen with no loss of original colour.
This automatically adjusts image colours to their natural colours even when projecting onto surfaces such as blackboards and partitions.

Remove the battery cover.
While pushing down on the rib of the battery cover, slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow.
Rib
3
Replace the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover in until the tab clicks into place.
TIP

Before Using the Remote Control
Using the Remote Control and Remote Operating
Range
Using the Remote Control
The remote control is used in the following way.
PROCEDURE
1
Set the [R/C] switch of the remote control to "ON".
Remote control light-receiving area (front)
Remote control light-emitting area
13
Remote control light-receiving area (rear)
2
Point the remote control light-emitting area towards one of the remote control light-receiving areas on the projector and operate the remote control buttons.
TIP
• Do not allow sunlight or light from fluorescent lamps to shine directly onto the projector's remote control light-receiving areas, otherwise it may interfere with the reception of signals from the remote control.
• When not using the remote control, set the [R/C] switch on the remote control to "OFF". If you leave the [R/C] switch at "ON", it will consume battery power.
• If a button on the remote control is pressed down for more than 1 minute while the [R/C] switch is at "ON", the signal for that button operation will stop being transmitted (the remote control will change to sleep mode). The purpose of this is to prevent the batteries from being consumed due to something being placed on top of the remote control.
When the button is released, normal remote control operation will resume.
Before Using the Remote Control

Adjusting the Screen Image
Adjusting the Image Angle
If the projector is set up so that it is at a horizontal or vertical angle to the screen, adjust as follows.
Tilting the projector vertically with respect to the screen
If the images are being projected onto a screen that is higher than the position of the projector, extend the front adjustable foot to tilt the
If the images are being projected onto a screen that is lower than the position of the projector, lift up the back of the projector to tilt it.
When the projector is tilted in this way, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the images. If this happens, you can use the keystone correction function to correct this distortion.
41
When projecting from the side of the screen
If the projector cannot be set up directly in front of the screen, you can project images at a horizontal angle to the screen. If keystone distortion appears in the images, you can use the projector's "H-Keystone" and
"Quick Corner" functions to correct this keystone distortion.
,
Adjusting the Screen Image
Adjusting the Feets
The front adjustable foot and the rear adjustable feet can be extended and retracted to adjust the tilt of the projector to a maximum of 12º upward and
4º downward.
TIP
If you use the front adjustable foot and the rear adjustable feet to adjust the tilt of the projector, it may cause keystone distortion to appear in the projected images. If this happens, the Auto Keystone function will operate to automatically project images without keystone
distortion.
PROCEDURE
While pulling the foot adjust lever at the front of the projector, lift up the front of the projector to extend the front adjustable foot.
Extend the front adjustable foot until the desired angle is obtained, and then release the foot adjust lever.
To retract the front adjustable foot, gently push down on the projector while pulling the foot adjust lever.
TIP
If the projector is tilted vertically or horizontally, turn the bases of the rear adjustable feet to make fine adjustments to the height of the projector. When the projector is tilted horizontally, the correction may not be carried out correctly.

Manually Correcting Keystone Distortion
This projector is equipped with an automatic keystone correction function that detects the vertical angle of the projector during projection and automatically corrects vertical keystone distortion. If you would like to make further fine adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, or if the projector is tilted horizontally, you can carry out keystone correction manually.
TIP
If the projector is tilted within a range of approximately 30º up or down, keystone correction is carried out automatically. If the projector is tilted within a range of approximately 40º up or down or
20º to the left or right, manual keystone correction can be carried out.
However, the applicable angles will become smaller under the following conditions.
• If the projector has been tilted both horizontally and vertically
• If an optional projection lens has been fitted
• When the zoom is set to "W"
43
This projector is equipped with the following two keystone correction functions. Use whichever function is appropriate for the keystone distortion that appears.
• Auto Keystone/H/V-Keystone
Automatic keystone automatically corrects keystone distortion when the projected images are vertically distorted.
H/V-Keystone can be used to make fine adjustments to the results of automatic keystone correction and to correct horizontal keystone distortion.
The keystone correction function lets you easily correct keystone distortion that has occurred after moving the projector, simply by using buttons on the projector's control panel.
See "Automatic keystone correction"
"Vertical correction and horizontal correction"
"Height Correction"
• Quick Corner:
This correction function is used when both horizontal and vertical keystone distortion occurs in the projection area to adjust the projection area so that it fits the screen exactly.
Adjusting the Screen Image
TIP
• The "Auto Keystone", "H/V-Keystone" and "Quick Corner" functions cannot both be used together to correct keystone distortion.
If you use one function to correct keystone distortion, any correction that has been applied using the other function will be cancelled.
• The larger the angle of tilt, the poorer the focus of the contours in the projected images will become.
• If a large amount of keystone correction is applied, fine details such as text characters and lines may go out of focus.
• Keystone corrections that have been applied using the keystone correction functions are memorised even when the projector's power is turned off. If you have changed the projection position or angle, you will need to repeat the correction procedure.
• "H-Keystone" and "Height" cannot be used at the same time.
• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected images will become smaller. Use the zoom function to adjust the size of the images if necessary.
• If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out, decrease the sharpness.
Automatic keystone correction
When the projector has been tilted vertically, automatic keystone correction is carried out so that images with no distortion are projected.
Automatic keystone correction is carried out approximately one second after the projector is set up and projection starts. A vertical keystone correction gauge appears on the screen while automatic adjustment is in progress.
TIP
• Automatic keystone correction is not carried out if "Rear Proj." or
"Ceiling" in the "Advanced1" menu is set to "ON", or if the projection area has been corrected manually using the "Quick
Corner" function.
• If you would like to make further fine adjustments after automatic keystone correction has been carried out, or if the projector is tilted horizontally, you can carry out keystone correction manually.
• If you do not want automatic keystone correction to be carried out, change the "Auto Keystone" setting in the "H/V-Keystone" submenu of the "Keystone" command in the "Setting" menu to "OFF".
44
Adjusting the Screen Image
Vertical correction and horizontal correction
Vertical correction and horizontal correction can be carried out using either the projector's control panel or the configuration menus. This procedure explains how to use the projector's control panel to correct keystone distortion.
For adjustment using the configuration menus: - "Setting" - "Keystone" -
If you use the horizontal correction function when height correction adjustment has already been carried out, the height correction adjustment will be cancelled.
TIP
If "Quick Corner" is selected in the "Keystone" sub-menu of the
"Setting" menu, the "Quick Corner" correction screen will be displayed if you press the [ ], [ ], [ ] or [ ] buttons.
When carrying out vertical correction and horizontal correction, select "H/V-Keystone" and then make the correction.
If the left edge of the image is elongated
Projector
If the right edge of the image is elongated

Adjusting the Image Quality
The quality of the projected images can be adjusted as follows.
Projecting Easy-to-see Images Without a Screen
(Wall Shot)
When the Wall Shot function is used, images can be projected without loss of original colour even onto surfaces such as blackboards and coloured wall surfaces which are being used instead of a screen. For example, if projecting onto a green blackboard, the projected images would normally appear greenish and be very difficult to see. The Wall Shot function uses a sensor to measure the condition of the projection surface and automatically adjusts the colour of the projected images based on these measurements.
The Wall Shot function also allows shading to be adjusted. If projecting onto a screen that is located near a window, the Wall Shot function can be used to obtain clear images when they might otherwise appear faded.
TIP
Wall Shot can be used for adjustment if the projection distance is within approximately 80–1000 cm (2.6–32.8 ft.). However, this distance will vary depending on the condition of the projected surface, for instance if the projection surface is an extremely reflective surface such as a whiteboard, or if it is a highly non-reflective surface such as a dark wall.
PROCEDURE
The Wall Shot function can be operated using either the remote control or the projector's control panel.
1
Press the [Wall Shot] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel while the images are being projected.
When the button is pressed, the current status is displayed on the screen.

To change the status, press the [Wall Shot] button while the status is being displayed on the screen.
For example, if you press the [Wall Shot] button while "Wall
Shot OFF" is displayed, the status will change to "Wall Shot
ON" and measurement of the projection surface will start.
Colours in the order red
→ green → blue → black will be projected for approximately five seconds while measurement is in progress.
Wall Shot ON

Once the measurement is finished and colour correction is complete, the images will be projected in the corrected condition.
To cancel the correction, press the [Wall Shot] button while
"Wall Shot ON" is being displayed on the screen so that "Wall
Shot OFF" is selected.
TIP
• When the projector's power is turned off, images will be projected next time with the status set to "Wall Shot OFF". However, the correction values that were obtained by the previous measurement operation will be stored even when the power is turned off.
If projecting in the same location as before, you can retrieve the colour correction values that were used previously (the five seconds required for readjustment will not be necessary).
The status will change as follows each time the [Wall Shot] button is pressed.
Wall Shot OFF Wall Shot ON

Projector Monitoring and Control using a Network
Computers and projectors can be connected together using a network so that the statuses of the projectors can be monitored and controlled by computer via the network.
A Projector Software CD-ROM is included as an accessory with this projector.
The Projector Software CD-ROM contains the EMP NetworkManager and
EMP Monitor software. This software can be used to carry out the following network monitoring and control functions.
• EMP Monitor
This allows the statuses of projectors that are connected via a network to be displayed on a computer monitor. Multiple projectors can be monitored and controlled in this way using a single computer.
• EMP NetworkManager
This software is used to make network settings and e-mail notification function settings for a projector using a computer. When EMP
NetworkManager is used to make mail notification function settings, email messages can be sent to a pre-designated e-mail address to notify the computer operator when a problem occurs with a projector.
and the SNMP manager program
Projector status can be monitored and controlled from a computer using
SNMP. To use the SNMP function to monitor the projectors, you need to install the SNMP software into the computer to be used for monitoring.
This should be done by a network administrator or someone else who is familiar with the details of the network.
Carry out the following operations in the order listed in order to set up monitoring and control of projectors via a network.
1. Use the Projector Software CD-ROM to install the software to be used into the computer.
2. Connect the projector to the network using the a network cable.
3. Use the projector's configuration menus to make the required network settings.
4. Use the computer to monitor and control the projector.

Maintenance
This section describes maintenance tasks such as cleaning the projector and replacing consumable parts.
Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.
CAUTION
Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty
Terms before cleaning.
Cleaning the Projector Case
Clean the projector case by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector case. Then wipe the case again with a soft, dry cloth.
CAUTION
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector case. These can cause the case to warp and make the coating finish peel off.
Cleaning the Lens
Use a commercially-available air blower, or use lens cleaning paper to clean the lens.
CAUTION
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
124
Cleaning the Air Filters and Air Intake Vent
If the air filters become clogged with dust, or if the message "The projector is overheated. Clean or replace the air filter and lower the room temperature." appears on the screen, clean the air filters and the air intake vent.
If the air filters become clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and damage the projector.
• Air intake vents in rear, side and base of projector
Turn the projector upside-down and use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air intake vent.
• Air filters at side and base of projector
Pull the air filters out from the projector and then use a vacuum cleaner to clean them.
Replacing Consumables
This section describes how to replace the lamp and the air filters.
Lamp Replacement Period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
.
• The message "Lamp Replace." appears on the screen when projection starts
125
TIP
• If the air filters are broken or if the warning message reappears after they have been cleaned, they should be replaced. Replace them with new air filters. See "Appendices: Optional Accessories"
• Spare lamps are provided with spare air filters. The air filters should also be replaced when the lamp is replaced.
A message will be displayed.
• The indicator is flashing orange
Flashes orange
• The projected images get darker or start to deteriorate in quality.
TIP
• The replacement warning message is set to appear after about 1900 hours of lamp use in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images. If you continue to use the lamp after this period, the possibility of the lamp breaking becomes greater.
When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
• The warning message appears after about 1900 hours of use, but the actual life of each individual lamp will vary depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, and some lamps may stop operating before 1900 hours of use. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
• Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
126
Replacing the Lamp
CAUTION
• If you are replacing the lamp because it has stopped working, it is possible that the lamp is broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed to the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and be extremely careful when removing the lamp cover.
• Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the
lamp cover. It takes a further one hour after the cool-down
period has finished for the lamp to be cool enough.
PROCEDURE
1
Turn the projector's power off, wait for the cool-down period to end, and then disconnect the power cable.
The cool-down period lasts for about 30 seconds.

(DVI-D)
This function directly converts image sources that have been recorded in the same 24-frame format used for movies into 60frame progressive signals. This allows data such as DVD software that has been recorded in 24-frame format to be played back on large screens with more natural and accurate reproduction, without any loss of image quality from the original movie.
A port used to input analogue video signals.
The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for standard images is 4:3.
The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours tend to take on a bluish tinge. If the colour temperature is lower, the colours tend to take on a reddish tinge.
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals separated, in order to provide better image quality. In high-definition TV (HDTV), it refers to images which consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and Pb and
Pr (colour difference signals).
Video signals which have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats).
The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal which are contained in the colour bar are overlapped to form a single signal.
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased in order to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called
"contrast adjustment".
This is the process by which the projector's lamp is cooled down after it has become hot through use. It is carried out automatically when the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel has been pressed to turn the projector off. Do not disconnect the power cord while cool-down is in progress, otherwise the cool-down process will not work properly. If the cool-down period is not allowed to finish normally, the projector's lamp and internal components will remain at high temperatures, and this may shorten the operating life of the lamp or cause problems with the operation of the projector.
Abbreviation for Digital Flat Panel. Refers to a standard method for digital transmission of video signals.
devices that are connected to a network.
A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format which uses two speakers. Dolby
Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker two rear speakers and a sub-woofer.
Abbreviation for Digital Visual Interface. Refers to a standard method for digital transmission of video signals.
DVI is a standard which has also been applied to digital household electronic equipment other than computers. It allows images to be transmitted at higher resolutions than for DFP, and also includes a digital signal encoding function.

A function for judging whether an image source is a 24 Hz progressive film source or not.
A server (router) that is used for communication over a network (subnet) that is divided up using subnet masks.
An abbreviation for High-Definition Television. It refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
•Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressive scanning, i = interlaced
scanning)
•
audio reception and playback (or output)
A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines which are displayed in sequence starting from left to right and then from the top to the bottom of the screen. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.
A series of numbers that identifies a device that is connected to a network.
Abbreviation for Media Access Control address. A MAC address is a unique ID number that is assigned to each network adapter. All network adapters are assigned this unique address, and these are used as the basis for communication between each network adapter.
A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image.
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second in order to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the "refresh rate", and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
This function is used to project computer images that have a resolution more than or less than the projector's panel resolution to be projected so that they fill the whole of the projection area.
An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television.
A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theft-prevention cable can be passed through in order to secure the device to a table or pillar. This projector is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington.
Abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol. In TCP/IP networks, this protocol is used for communication between routers and other devices that are connected to the network such as computers and terminals so that these devices can be monitored and controlled over the network.
In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.
An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours which are reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet.

A series of numbers that define the number of bits to be used for network addresses in a network (subnet) that is divided up according to IP addresses.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal)
× 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated in order to provide better image quality.
It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (colour signal).
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal)
× 1024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and troughs in the signal) is called "synchronisation". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur.
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images will not be of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called "tracking". If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes will appear in the projected images.
An IP address for the destination computer when SNMP reports that a problem has occurred.
An abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. USB is an interface for connecting personal computers to peripheral devices which only support relatively low data transmission speeds.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1600 (horizontal)
× 1200 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal)

A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal)
× 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
The carrier signal which is contained in the colour bar signal used in modern TV transmissions. The name comes from the Y
(luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma (colour)) signals.
The carrier signal which is contained in the colour bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (colour difference) signals.
List of ESC/VP21 Commands
Command List
When a power ON command is sent to the projector, the power for the projector turns on. When the projector is in a command ready state, it returns the "3Ah" (:) code.
Furthermore, when command processing is complete, the projector also returns a ":" code.
The ":" code status can be used to determine whether the projector is ready or busy. If command processing terminates with an error, an error message is output and then the ":" code is sent.
