Adjusting the Image Size Correcting Keystone Distortion Adjusting the Image Angle Adjusting the Screen Image You can adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible picture. Adjusting the Image Size The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. (Setup Guide) The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the projector itself has been set up. Turn to Wide to increase the size Turn the zoom ring on the projector to adjust the image. The image can be enlarged in this way to 1.35 times the normal size. If you would like to enlarge the image further, move the projector further away from the screen. (Setup Guide) Basic Operations Turn to Tele to reduce the size Procedure Zoom ring If a computer is connected, you can press the [Resize] button on the projector's control panel or on the remote control to switch between the real display and resized display. • Resized display (default): The images are processed so that they automatically fill the whole of the projection area, regardless of the resolution setting. • Normal sized display (window display): The images are projected at the same resolution that they are input. The image size and the projection area may be different depending on the resolution. Keystone Shift Sync- Resize A/V Mute Volume Projector Remote control Adjusting the Image Angle The projector should be as perpendicular to the screen as possible. Seen from above Seen from the side If the projector cannot be set up so that it is exactly perpendicular to the screen, it can be set up so that it is tilting slightly horizontally or vertically. To tilt the projector upward, adjust the front adjustable foot to tilt the projector at an angle of up to a maximum 12°. Procedure Foot adjust button While pressing the foot adjust button, lift up the front of the projector so that the front adjustable foot can extend. Extend the front adjustable foot until the desired angle is obtained, and then release the foot adjust button. To retract the foot, press and hold the foot adjust button and gently lower the projector. 11 Adjusting the Screen Image • When the foot is adjusted, it may cause the projected images to become distorted. Use the keystone correction function to adjust this distortion. • If the projector is tilted horizontally, turn the rear adjustable foot to adjust the angle. Rear adjustable foot Extend Retract Correcting Keystone Distortion When the projector is set up at an angle, keystone distortion may appear in the projected images. If the projector is adjusted to within a range of approximately 30° vertically or 10° horizontally, the keystone correction function can be used to adjust this keystone distortion. The values given here are for when the image is at the smallest zoom setting (telephoto). The maximum angles will be smaller if the zoom setting has been increased in the wide angle direction. Furthermore, if the projector has been tilted both vertically and horizontally, the maximum adjustable angle will again be smaller than the maximum angle if the projector had been tilted in only one direction. • When tilted vertically Approx. 30° above Approx. 30° below 30° 30° • When tilted horizontally Approx. 10° to the right Approx. 10° to the left 10° 10° 12 Adjusting the Image Size Correcting Keystone Distortion Adjusting the Image Angle Procedure Correcting vertical keystone distortion Press the or button on the projector's control panel to adjust.

With the front adjustable foot retracted, set the projector so that it is fully horizontal. Extend the front adjustable foot to adjust the angle as necessary. Adjust the vertical keystone distortion until both sides of the picture are vertical. Adjust the horizontal keystone distortion until the top and bottom edges of the picture are both horizontal. • When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller. • The keystone correction settings are memorized, so that if you change the position or angle of • • • • • • the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone correction settings. To return a previous keystone correction to the initial setting, carry out the following operations. To initalize vertical keystone correction: While holding down the button, press the button for 1 second or more. To initalize horizontal keystone correction: While holding down the button, press the button for 1 second or more. If there is any noticeable irregularity in the projected images after keystone correction has been carried out, reduce the sharpness. (p.21, 22) Keystone correction can also be carried out using the projector’s environment setting menu. (p.23) If you carry out both horizontal and vertical keystone correction, the correction range will become smaller than it would be if only one type of correction was carried out. If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when horizontal or vertical keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for horizontal or vertical keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector has not been set up at an angle which exceeds the proper limit. (p.12) If the horizontal (or vertical) keystone correction function is used at the same time that the EZoom or P in P function is being used, the keystone correction amount may change when the EZoom or P in P function is operated while the keystone correction amount is near the limit value. The limit value for keystone correction will vary depending on the image signal being input. 13 Adjusting the Image Quality The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows. Focusing the Screen Image Turn the focus ring to adjust the image focus. • If the surface of the lens is dirty or misted over as a result of condensation, it may not be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If this happens, clean or de-mist the lens. (p.46) • If the distance from the projector to the screen is less than 0.9 m (3.0 ft.), the focus will not be correct. Check the distance between the projector and the screen. Focus ring Selecting the Color Mode The following five color modes have been preset for use with images with varying characteristics. You can use these color modes to obtain the optimum image quality easily, just by selecting whichever color mode best suits the images. The brightness of the projected images will vary depending on the mode. Mode name Use Dynamic Ideal for projecting images with greater modulation and intensity. Theatre Ideal for enjoying presentations such as movies which have large numbers of dark scenes. Natural Ideal for enjoying presentations in a natural atmosphere. PC Ideal for use in making images as bright as possible when projecting computer images. sRGB Images conform to the sRGB standard. If the connected video source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the video source to sRGB. Press buttons [1] to [5] on the remote control to select the color mode. Procedure Remote control The color mode setting can also be changed using the Color Mode command of the projector's Video menu.

Be sure to read the separate Safety Instructions/ World-Wide Warranty Terms for details on safe handling of the projector during 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. 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 a lens cleaning paper to gently wipe the lens. Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged. Cleaning the Air Filter If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, it can cause overheating and damage the projector. Stand up the projector in order to prevent dust getting inside the projector, and then use a vacuum cleaner to clean away the dust from the air filter. • If the air filter is difficult to clean or if it is broken, it should be replaced. Contact your dealer for a spare air filter. • Replacement lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced when the lamp is replaced. 46 Cleaning Replacing Consumables Replacing Consumables This section describes how to replace the lamp and the air filter. Lamp Replacement Period It is time to replace the lamp when: • The message "Lamp Replace" appears on the screen when projection starts. The message appears for 30 seconds, and disappears again after 30 seconds have passed. A message will be displayed. • The indicator flashes orange or lights red. Lamp indicator flashes orange or lights red. The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate. • In order to maintain the brightness and quality of the projected images, replace the lamp as soon as possible after the warning message appears. • The replacement warning message is set to appear after 2900 hours of lamp use in order to maintain the 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 2900 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. Some lamps may stop operating before 2900 hours of use, so you should always have a spare lamp ready in case. • When the lamp replacement warning message appears, the user's logo will not appear even if the start-up screen setting is ON. • Contact your dealer for a spare lamp. Appendices • 47 Maintenance Replacing the Lamp • If the lamp stops working and needs to be replaced, there is the danger that the lamp may break when handled. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed to the ceiling, you should remove the projector from the ceiling before replacing the lamp. If the projector cannot be removed from the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken and handle it with extreme care during removal. Furthermore, you should stand to the side of the projector, not underneath it. • Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before opening the lamp cover. After the cool-down period has finished, it takes approximately a further 30 minutes for the lamp to be cool enough. Procedure 1 2 3 4 5 48 Turn off the projector power, wait for the cool-down period to end, and then disconnect the power cord. (p.9) The cool-down period lasts for about 2 minutes. The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature. Wait until the lamp has cooled down, and then remove the lamp cover. It takes approximately 30 minutes for the lamp to cool down by itself. Use the screwdriver that is provided with the spare lamp to slide the lamp cover opening switch so that the lamp cover lifts up. Hold the raised section of the lamp cover and then slide it forward to remove it from the projector. Loosen the two lamp fixing screws. Use the screwdriver that is supplied with the spare lamp to loosen the two lamp fixing screws that are securing the lamp to the projector. Take out the lamp. Hold the lamp by the two recesses on the side to lift it up and out from the projector. Install the new lamp. Hold the lamp so that it faces the correct way to fit into the projector, and then insert the lamp until it clicks into place and tighten the two fixing screws. Cleaning Replacing Consumables 6 Install the lamp cover. Insert the two cover tabs into the projector, and then press the other side of the lamp cover until it clicks into place. • Install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the lamp turns off automatically as a safety precaution. Moreover, the lamp will not turn on if the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly. • Spare lamps are provided with a spare air filter. The air filter should also be replaced when the lamp is replaced. • Dispose of used lamps properly in accordance with your local regulations. Resetting the Lamp Operating Time The projector has a built-in counter which keeps track of the lamp operating time. When the cumulative operating time reaches a certain point, it causes the replacement warning message to be displayed. Therefore, the counter needs to be reset after the lamp has been replaced with a new one. You can do this using the projector menu. Do not reset the lamp operating time except after the lamp has been replaced, otherwise the lamp replacement period will not be indicated correctly. Procedure 1 Computer/YCbCr Press the [Menu] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel. The environment setting menu will be displayed.

Glossary 5BNC A port used to input analog video signals. A/V Mute The momentary canceling of audio and video output. This projector has an [A/V Mute] button which you can press to momentarily stop the projection of pictures and sound. The picture and sound can be restored by pressing the [A/V Mute] button on the projector’s control panel or the remote control once more. Aspect ratio 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. Color difference signal (component) A type of video signal output by video equipment which actually consists of three separate signals: a red + luminance signal (R-Y), a luminance signal (Y) and a blue + luminance signal (B-Y). Each signal is transmitted along a separate cable. Color difference signals generally result in a better image than composite signals (in which the red, green and blue signals and the luminance signal are all transmitted along a single cable). Color temperature The temperature of an object which is emitting light. If the color temperature is high, the colors tend to take on a bluish tinge. If the color temperature is lower, the colors tend to take on a reddish tinge. Component video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and color 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 (color difference signals ). Composite video Video signals which have the video brightness signals and color signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC format). The signals consist of the carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and the chroma (color) signal which are contained in the color bar signal. Contrast 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. Cool-down The cooling process for the projector's lamp unit continues even after the [Power] button has been pressed to turn off the lamp. After the lamp turns off, the cooling fan continues operating, but all button operations are disabled. The length of time that this is happening is called the "cool-down period". The cool-down period lasts for about 2 minutes. The actual time will vary depending on the external air temperature. DFP Abbreviation for Digital Flat Panel. Refers to a standard method for digital transmission of video signals. Dolby Digital A proprietary sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-channel (5.1 channel) format that adds to this a center speaker, two rear speakers and a sub-woofer. DVI 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. Freeze The momentary pausing of image playback only. When the [Freeze] button is pressed, the image playback only can be paused. When the [Freeze] button is pressed again, playback resumes. HDTV 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 ) Screen aspect ratio of 16:9 Dolby Digital audio reception and playback (or output) Interlaced scanning A method of image scanning whereby the signal bandwidth used is approximately half that required for sequential scanning when images with the same still picture resolution are broadcast. Refresh Rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and color 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). Appendices Following is an explanation of some of the terms used in this guide which may be unfamiliar or which were not explained in the manual itself. Further information can be obtained by referring to other commerciallyavailable publications. 63 Glossary 64 S-Video A video signal which has the luminance component and color component separated in order to provide better image quality. It refers to images which consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal), and C (color signal). SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television. It refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for High-Definition Television. Security lock A device consisting of a projector case with a hole in it that a commercially-available theftprevention 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. sRGB An international standard for color intervals that was formulated so that colors which are reproduced by video equipment can be handled easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers). SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) x 1,024 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers). Sync (synchronization) 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 "synchronization". If the signals are not synchronized, problems such as flickering, blurriness and horizontal interference can occur. Tracking 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. USB 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. VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers). XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers (DOS/V computers). YCbCr The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in modern TV transmissions (NTSC format). The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the CbCr (chroma [color]) signals. YPbPr The carrier signal which is contained in the color bar signal used in high-definition TV (HDTV) transmissions. The name comes from the Y (luminance) signal and the PbPr (color difference) signals .
