Cautions on use
In order to get the best picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off
any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may
cause discoloration to the screen, and do not let it
become dirty or damaged.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare
hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from
fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified
and projected onto the screen.
The projector has a high pressure mercury lamp and
that is characterized as follows.
The brightness of the lamp depends on the duration
of use.
The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by
shocks or chipping damage.
The lamp may explode only occasionally after using
the projector.
The lamp may explode if using the projector after the
instructed lamp replacement timing.
The lamp life is depends on individual lamp
characteristics, usage condition and the installation
environment. Especially the consecutive use of the
projector for more than 10 hours, or the frequent
switching on or off may greatly affect on the lamp life.
Liquid crystal panel
Do not project the same image for long periods of
time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the
liquid crystal panel.
The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with
very high precision technology to provide fine picture
details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear
on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. It
is recommended to switch off the projector once and

Connections
Before connection to the projector
Read and follow the operating and connecting instructions of each peripheral device.
The peripheral devices must be turned off.
Use cables that match each peripheral device to be connected.
If the input signal is affected by signal jitter, the projected image may have poor image quality and timebase
correction is effective.
Confirm the type of video signals. See “List of compatible signals” on page 44.
Only one audio system circuit is available for each of the COMPUTER AUDIO IN and AUDIO IN L-R
connectors, so if you change the audio input source, you will need to remove and insert the appropriate
plugs.
If the signal cables are disconnected or if the power supply for the computer or video deck is turned off while
“DIGITAL ZOOM” or “INDEX-WINDOW” is being used, these functions will be canceled.

Care and Replacement
Cleaning the projector
J Before cleaning the projector
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Unplug all the cables from the projector.
J Cleaning the outer surface of the projector
Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a soft cloth.
If it is difficult to remove the dirt, soak a cloth in a neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well
and then wipe the projector. Dry off the projector with dry cloth.
If you use a chemical treated wipe, follow the instructions supplied with it.
J Cleaning the lens
Wipe off dirt and dust gently with a lint-free cloth.
Make sure no dirt or dust remains on the surface of the lens. It will be enlarged and projected onto a
screen.
J Cleaning the air filter
If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature of the projector will rise, the TEMP indicator
will illuminate and the projector’s power will turn off (the TEMP indicator will flash after the power is turned off).
The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any accumulated dust.
Air filter cover
NOTE:
• If the dust cannot be cleaned by a vacuum cleaner, remove the air filter and soak it in water, and then wash out the dust by
hand. Be sure to install the air filter after it has dried.
• Do not use detergent when washing the air filter.
• If the dust cannot be removed by cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Please consult your dealer.
Furthermore, if the lamp unit is being replaced, replace the air filter at this time also.
Replacing the air filter
J Before replacing the Air filter
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Care and Replacement
Replacing the Lamp unit
J Before replacing the Lamp unit
Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Make sure the Lamp unit and the surroundings are cooled enough.
Prepare a Phillips-head screwdriver.
Contact an Authorised Service Center to purchase a replacement Lamp unit (ET-LAB50).
When the projector is mounted in the ceiling, do not work directly under the projector or put your face closer
to the projector.
NOTE:
• Prior to replacing the lamp unit, allow it to cool down to prevent the risk of burns, damage and other hazards.
• Do not attempt replacement with an unauthorised lamp unit.
J When to replace the Lamp unit
The Lamp unit is a consumable product. Even when the full life of the bulb has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light will gradually decline. Therefore periodic replacement of the lamp is necessary.
The intended lamp replacement interval is 2 000 hours, but it is possible that the lamp may need to be

Précautions de sécurité
Lorsqu'on insère les piles, veiller à ce que les polarités (+ et –) soient bien respectées.
Si l'on insère les piles incorrectement, elles risqueront d'exploser ou de fuir, ce qui peut causer un
incendie, des blessures ou une contamination du
logement des piles et de la zone environnante.
Utiliser uniquement les piles spécifiées.
Si l'on insère des piles d'un type différent, elles risqueront d'exploser ou de fuir, ce qui peut causer un
incendie, des blessures ou une contamination du
logement des piles et de la zone environnante.
Ne pas mélanger des piles usées et des piles
neuves.
Si l'on insère les piles incorrectement, elles risqueront d'exploser ou de fuir, ce qui peut causer un
incendie, des blessures ou une contamination du
logement des piles et de la zone environnante.
Si l'on n'utilise pas le projecteur pendant une période prolongée, débrancher la fiche du cordon
d'alimentation de la prise de courant et retirer les
piles de la télécommande.

incendie.
Le fait de laisser les piles à l'intérieur de la télécommande pendant trop longtemps en cas d'inactivité risque de causer une dégradation de l'isolation, une
fuite de courant ou même des explosions, ce qui
pourrait causer un incendie.
Ne pas peser de tout son poids sur ce projecteur.
On risque de tomber ou de casser l'appareil, ce qui
peut causer des blessures.
Veiller tout particulièrement à ce que les enfants ne
se tiennent pas debout ou ne s'asseyent pas sur le

provoquer des fuites, une hausse anormale de la
température interne ou une explosion.
Si la lampe s'est cassée, ventiler immédiatement la
pièce. Ne pas toucher ni approcher le visage des
morceaux cassés.
Le non respect de cette consigne peut entraîner
l'absorption du gaz par l'utilisateur. Ce gaz se dégage
lorsque la lampe est cassée et il contient presque
autant de mercure qu'une lampe fluorescente, de
plus les morceaux cassés peuvent provoquer des
blessures.
Si vous pensez avoir inhalé du gaz ou que du gaz a
pénétré dans votre bouche ou dans vos yeux, contactez un médecin immédiatement.
S'adresser au revendeur pour le remplacement de la
lampe et l'inspection de l'intérieur du projecteur.
Débrancher la fiche du cordon d'alimentation de la
prise de courant comme mesure de sécurité avant
d'effectuer tout nettoyage.
Sinon cela peut causer des chocs électriques.

Si la surface de l'objectif est salie par des empreintes
digitales ou autre, celles-ci seraient agrandies et projetées sur l'écran.
Affichage à cristaux liquides
Ne pas projeter la même image pendant une longue
durée, car elle risquerait de former une après-image
sur l'affichage à cristaux liquides.
L'affichage à cristaux liquides du projecteur a été fabriqué en utilisant une technologie de haute précision
afin d'offrir une image très détaillée. Il est possible
que parfois quelques pixels figés apparaissent sur
l'écran sous forme de points fixes bleus, verts ou
rouges. Il est alors recommandé d'éteindre le projecteur puis de le rallumer environ 1 heure après. Bien
noter que ceci n'affecte pas le bon fonctionnement de
votre LCD.
Écran
N'appliquer aucun produit volatil qui risque de
décolorer l'écran, et veiller à ce que l'écran ne soit
pas sale ou endommagé.
Le projecteur possede une lampe au mercure a
haute pression interne avec les caractéristiques suivantes.
La luminosité de la lampe dépend de la durée d'utilisation.
