Beware of the following:

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Do not mix different types of batteries as they differ in characteristics.

• Place batteries so they match the polarities indicated:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Be sure to put the minus (–) end in first to avoid short-circulating.

• Use only designated batteries.

• Remove the batteries if the remote is not to be used for a prolonged period.

• When the batteries are exhausted, replace them immediately. Otherwise, liquid could leak, or malfunction could occur due to leaking liquid. If the leaked liquid contacts the skin, wipe it off with a cloth, otherwise the skin could become rough.

• Do not put batteries into a fire or try to recharge them.

• Batteries run for six months to one year in normal use.

However, the batteries supplied are for confirming operation and may not run that long. When the remote control starts failing to work properly, replace the batteries with new ones.

Projection Distance and Screen Size

• The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (optional) to be used. When the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3, the range is as follows and you need to install the projector within this range.

Lens type

GL-M2910G

GL-M2915SG

GL-M2920ZG

Approximate projection distance

0.77 m to 4.03 m

1.76 m to 4.50 m

2.77 m to 19.71 m

GL-M2930SZG 4.74 m to 29.87 m

*: The value for projection distance is a guide (reference) one. The projected image size may vary depending on the manufacturing tolerance of the projection lens.

To move the Shift position by 50%, set the bottom edge of the projection screen so that it is at the same height as the center of the lens.

Notes

• For detailed relationship between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix A. The relationships for both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios are listed there.

• When installing a screen, use a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

• (A 16 : 9 aspect-ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture is projected.)

• The diagonal length of a 16:9 aspect-ratio screen is about 91.8% that of a 4:3 aspect-ratio screen. This value is only a guide

(reference).

• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture tends to become pale and dim. Use a curtain or other means to shield the light.

• Set the projector horizontally on a surface that is within the range of adjustable angles (up/down adjustment angle: +7° ; horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°).

• If the keystone is adjusted, the projected screen becomes smaller.

• When hanging from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture (not supplied).

■ Optional Lenses

This projector does not include a lens. You can select one of the optional lenses to adjust the projection distance. Please ask your authorized dealer or service center to install the lens.

Be sure that the computer to be used suffices the following conditions:

• The computer has the video signal output port.

Be sure that the computer has the video signal output port by reading the instruction book of the computer.

The video signal output port is generally called as “RGB port”, “monitor port”, or “video port”. If the computer-monitor hybrid type or note type is used, it may need to prepare for an external output port. Also, there will be the type to which an external output port cannot be installed.

• DVI input

During DVI input, depending on the computer settings, there may be no signal input or an error may occur (blue screen).

If this happens, turn off the power to both the projector and the computer, and then turn the projector back on before turning the computer on again. Then correctly set the computer's graphic board.

• The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page 23.

Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range. A video signal out of range cannot be used. (Even signals out of the range could be projected. However, it may not sharp enough. On the other hand, even some of the signals within the range may require adjustment depending on the video board used.)

When a signal other than listed in the table on page 23 is input, the image could be partially erased or an unneeded fold-over image could appear.

Even signals in the frequency range that can be input may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal.

Composite sync (C

Power cord (supplied)

CAUTIONS

To prevent fire and electric shock, observe the following:

• When you do not use devices, pull out their power cords from wall outlets.

• Do not connect the devices with power cords other than those supplied.

• Do not use mains voltage other than the power voltage indicated.

• Do not scar, damage, or work on the power cords. Also, do not put a heavy object on, heat, or stretch the power cords, otherwise they may be damaged.

• Do not insert or pull out the plugs with a wet hand.

CAUTIONS

• Since the power requirement of the projector is high, insert for European continent countries for United Kingdom the power plug directly into a wall outlet.

• Use the supplied power cord with the ferrite core only.

• Do not remove the ferrite core from the supplied power cord; Otherwise, there may be a possibility that a harmful interference occurs.

Removing the Lens Cap

Remove the lens cap before using the projector.

Notes

• The lens cap is supplied with the lens unit (optional). It should be attached to the lens when the projector is not used.

• Do not operate the projector with the lens cap attached.

Doing so can deform the lens cap because of the heat. A metallic lens cap can get hot and cause injury.

Basic Operations

■ Lamp control settings

After turning the power on, first perform the lamp control settings on the setting menu referring to “Setting and Adjusting Other

Functions (OPTIONS)” on page 54.

There are 3 modes in the lamp control settings.

1: NORMAL MODE (Normal)

Used as a normal lamp.

The projector is set to “Normal” mode at the time of purchase.

* “Lamp replacement” appears on the screen when the lamp use time exceeds 1000 hours.

2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC)

Automatically controls the power used by the lamp and increases it in steps. When this mode is used, the brightness starts at approximately 70%. The decrease in brightness is slower than in “Normal” mode and this mode is best suited when using the projector continuously for long periods of time.


3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC)

The brightness can be set in seven levels (-6 to 0). Since the brightness can be set in steps, this is the mode best suited for adjusting multiple screens. This setting can also be changed while the projector is being used. To change the setting, choose LOC with the

5

/

∞

cursors and choose the level with the

2

/

3

cursors.


The lamp replacement time is different for the 3 modes.

1: NORMAL MODE (Normal) ... 1000 hours

2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) ... 2000 hours

3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) ... 2000 hours

* These lamp replacement times are only a rough guide as to how long the lamp will last if these modes are used from the beginning. These are not guaranteed service lives.

Notes

• Although the LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) and LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) electrically control the brightness of the lamp and extend the replacement time longer than that for the NORMAL MODE, the service life of the lamp is approximately 1000 hours.

When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, degradation progresses rapidly. In NORMAL MODE, arrange for a new lamp (lamp unit) or replace the lamp after 900 hours. Depending on the usage conditions, the replacement time may be shorter.

(In LOC and LPC modes, the brightness of the lamp is electrically controlled and the replacement time is extended. Arrange for a new lamp (lamp unit) or replace the lamp after 1900 hours. Depending on the usage conditions, the replacement time may be shorter.)

If, even after adjusting the brightness or color, the video image is dark or the color is not correct, replace the lamp early.

The lamp use time can be checked. Look at the “Lamp time” which is displayed with the “Information” option in the menu.

(Refer to page 40, 42.)

Contact the store from where you purchased the projector or the JVC service center for details about purchasing replacement lamps.

CAUTIONS

• If the projector is set up in a constricted place which is unsuitable for work, and if you perform replacement work there, this could cause injury. Move the projector to a place large enough for work, and then replace the light-source lamp.

• Use a genuine product for the light-source lamp. If you use other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction.

Also, never use an old light-source lamp. This could cause marked degradation in performance or explode, possibly causing the projector to malfunction or broken pieces to injure you.

• Do not replace the light-source lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the light-source lamp is still high and could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before performing replacement.

• Before starting light-source lamp replacement work, turn off the MAIN POWER switch, and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord connected, this could cause injury or electric shock.

• The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high pressure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the light-source lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult your dealer.

Trapezoidal-distortion correctable maximum angle

The projector has a function to correct the trapezoidal distortion of the projected image on the screen.

To correct this distortion, use the KEYSTONE buttons on the projector. (Refer to “Removing the Trapezoidal Distortion of the

Image” on page 35.) Also, correction is possible by using the “Keystone” menu. (Refer to “Setting and Adjusting Other

Functions (OPTIONS)” on page 54.)

Correctable angle: Correctable angle:

Up to approx. 20° upward from the horizontal line Up to approx. 20° downward from the horizontal line


Projection Distance and Screen Size

• The range of projection distances that can be focused depends on the lens unit (optional) to be used. When the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3, the range is as follows and you need to install the projector within this range.

Lens type

GL-M2910G

GL-M2915SG

GL-M2920ZG

Approximate projection distance

0.77 m to 4.03 m

1.76 m to 4.50 m

2.77 m to 19.71 m

GL-M2930SZG 4.74 m to 29.87 m

*: The value for projection distance is a guide (reference) one. The projected image size may vary depending on the manufacturing tolerance of the projection lens.

Center line of the lens

To move the Shift position by 50%, set the bottom edge of the projection screen so that it is at the same height as the center of the lens.

Notes

• For detailed relationship between projection distances and projection screen sizes, refer to Appendix A. The relationships for both 4:3 and 16:9 ratios are listed there.

• When installing a screen, use a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture.

• (A 16 : 9 aspect-ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4:3 aspect-ratio picture is projected.)

• The diagonal length of a 16:9 aspect-ratio screen is about 91.8% that of a 4:3 aspect-ratio screen. This value is only a guide

(reference).

• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture tends to become pale and dim. Use a curtain or other means to shield the light.

• Set the projector horizontally on a surface that is within the range of adjustable angles (up/down adjustment angle: +7° ; horizontal adjustment angle: ±1.5°).

• If the keystone is adjusted, the projected screen becomes smaller.

• When hanging from the ceiling, use a dedicated hanging fixture (not supplied).

■ Optional Lenses

This projector does not include a lens. You can select one of the optional lenses to adjust the projection distance. Please ask your authorized dealer or service center to install the lens.

Be sure that the computer to be used suffices the following conditions:

• The computer has the video signal output port.

Be sure that the computer has the video signal output port by reading the instruction book of the computer.

The video signal output port is generally called as “RGB port”, “monitor port”, or “video port”. If the computer-monitor hybrid type or note type is used, it may need to prepare for an external output port. Also, there will be the type to which an external output port cannot be installed.

• DVI input

During DVI input, depending on the computer settings, there may be no signal input or an error may occur (blue screen).

If this happens, turn off the power to both the projector and the computer, and then turn the projector back on before turning the computer on again. Then correctly set the computer's graphic board.

• The resolution and the scanning frequencies are within the range specified in the table on page 23.

Be sure that the resolution and the scanning frequencies of the video signal are within the range. A video signal out of range cannot be used. (Even signals out of the range could be projected. However, it may not sharp enough. On the other hand, even some of the signals within the range may require adjustment depending on the video board used.)

When a signal other than listed in the table on page 23 is input, the image could be partially erased or an unneeded fold-over image could appear.

Even signals in the frequency range that can be input may not be displayed normally depending on the type of the signal.

Basic Operations

■ Lamp control settings

After turning the power on, first perform the lamp control settings on the setting menu referring to “Setting and Adjusting Other

Functions (OPTIONS)” on page 54.

There are 3 modes in the lamp control settings.

1: NORMAL MODE (Normal)

Used as a normal lamp.

The projector is set to “Normal” mode at the time of purchase.


2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC)

Automatically controls the power used by the lamp and increases it in steps. When this mode is used, the brightness starts at approximately 70%. The decrease in brightness is slower than in “Normal” mode and this mode is best suited when using the projector continuously for long periods of time.


3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC)

The brightness can be set in seven levels (-6 to 0). Since the brightness can be set in steps, this is the mode best suited for adjusting multiple screens. This setting can also be changed while the projector is being used. To change the setting, choose LOC with the 5 / ∞ cursors and choose the level with the 2 / 3 cursors.


The lamp replacement time is different for the 3 modes.

1: NORMAL MODE (Normal) ... 1000 hours

2: LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) ... 2000 hours

3: LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) ... 2000 hours

* These lamp replacement times are only a rough guide as to how long the lamp will last if these modes are used from the beginning. These are not guaranteed service lives.

Notes

• Although the LIGHT OUTPUT CONTROL MODE (LOC) and LIGHT POWER CONTROL MODE (LPC) electrically control the brightness of the lamp and extend the replacement time longer than that for the NORMAL MODE, the service life of the lamp is approximately 1000 hours.

• The lamp will gradually become less bright in each mode.

Since the lamp may become less bright quickly in some usage environments, replace the lamp if you notice that it is no longer bright even if the lamp has not yet reached the end of its life.

• Mode settings

* If the projector is not put in stand-by mode or turned off after the lamp has been used continuously in the normal mode for more than 1000 hours (but less than 2010 hours), it can be used for “up to 2010 hours”.

However, if the projector is put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can not be turned back on again.

* If the projector is put in stand-by mode or turned off after the lamp has been used in the light output control mode or light power control mode for more than 2000 hours (but less than 2010 hours), it can not be turned back on again.

However, if the projector is not put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can be used for “up to 2010 hours”.

* If the projector is used in the light output control mode or light power control mode for more than 1000 hours, and then switched to the normal mode, put in stand-by mode or turned off, it can not be turned back on again.

After performing the above settings, perform the necessary settings.

Replacing the Light-Source Lamp

■ Light-source lamp and lamp use time

The light-source lamp has a service life of approximately 1000 hours.

[Average lamp life: 1000 hours (brightness half-life)]

When the light-source lamp approaches the end of its service life, degradation progresses rapidly. In NORMAL MODE, arrange for a new lamp (lamp unit) or replace the lamp after 900 hours. Depending on the usage conditions, the replacement time may be shorter.

(In LOC and LPC modes, the brightness of the lamp is electrically controlled and the replacement time is extended. Arrange for a new lamp (lamp unit) or replace the lamp after 1900 hours. Depending on the usage conditions, the replacement time may be shorter.)

If, even after adjusting the brightness or color, the video image is dark or the color is not correct, replace the lamp early.

The lamp use time can be checked. Look at the “Lamp time” which is displayed with the “Information” option in the menu.

(Refer to page 40, 42.)

Contact the store from where you purchased the projector or the JVC service center for details about purchasing replacement lamps.

Replacement lamp (lamp unit) part number: BHL 5001-SU

The LAMP indicator and the message on the screen warn you that replacement of the lamp is required, as follows:

■ Projecting after the lamp has been used for more than 900 hours (NORMAL MODE)

CAUTIONS

• If the projector is set up in a constricted place which is unsuitable for work, and if you perform replacement work there, this could cause injury. Move the projector to a place large enough for work, and then replace the light-source lamp.

• Use a genuine product for the light-source lamp. If you use other than a genuine product, this could cause a malfunction.

Also, never use an old light-source lamp. This could cause marked degradation in performance or explode, possibly causing the projector to malfunction or broken pieces to injure you.

• Do not replace the light-source lamp immediately after the projector has been used. The temperature of the light-source lamp is still high and could cause a burn. Allow a cooling period of one hour or more before performing replacement.

• Before starting light-source lamp replacement work, turn off the MAIN POWER switch, and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. If you perform the replacement work with the power cord connected, this could cause injury or electric shock.

• The light-source lamp used in this projector is a high pressure mercury lamp. Be careful when disposing of the light-source lamp. If anything is unclear, please consult your dealer.


■ Be sure that the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet.

1 Remove the lamp-replacement opening cover by loosening screws.

CAUTION

• Do not touch the glass surface of the light-source lamp directly with your hand as well as staining it. If you touch with a bare hand, oils and other substances on your hand may adhere to the lamp, possibly preventing it from performing as specified and therefore giving a shortened lamp life, a darkened screen, etc. To handle a new lightsource lamp, hold it by the plastic part. Never touch the metal part or the front glass surface.

(During DVI input, depending on the computer settings, there may be no signal input or an error may occur (blue screen).)

• If this happens, turn off the power to both the projector and the computer, and then turn the projector back on before turning the computer on again. Then correctly set the computer’s graphic board.

• Is focus adjusted correctly?

• Is distance too short or too long?

• Adjust focus.

• Set the projector at the correct distance.

• Are Tracking and Phase adjusted correctly?

• If satisfactory results are not obtained by pressing the QUICK ALIGN. button to conduct quick alignment, adjust Tracking and Phase on the menu.

Troubleshooting

Symptom

A part of image is magnified.

Color is poor or unstable.

The upper part of the video image bows or distorts.

Video image suddenly go out.

Remote control unit does not work.

Probable cause

• Was the DIGITAL ZOOM T button on the remote control pressed?

• Is picture quality (color density, etc.) adjusted correctly?


• Press the PRESET button to restore the original video screen.




• Are signals (scanning frequency, etc.) of the connected devices appropriate?

• Check if the signal is appropriate (scanning frequency, etc.), and input the appropriate signal.

• While computer system signal is input, isn’t a sync signal for composite sync

(Cs) or G on sync being input?

• Input separate sync signals for vertical sync

(V) and horizontal sync (H) signals.

• Isn’t signal with much jitter or skew distortion being input from a video deck?

• Is video picture turned off by pressing the HIDE button?

• Input signals with little jitter or distortion.

Use a TBC or a device with a built-in TBC.

• Turn on video picture by pressing the HIDE button.

• Are batteries installed correctly?

• Are batteries exhausted?

• Is there a shielding object between the remote control unit and the remote sensor?

• Match the polarities of batteries correctly (+ to + and – to –).

• Replace with new batteries.

• Remove any shielding objects.

• Is the distance too long?

• Is either side of remote cable disconnected?

• Use the remote control unit at a nearer point.

• Firmly insert the remote cable when using the remote control unit as the wired one.

* This device uses a computer. External noise may cause it to malfunction. If this happens, turn the power off, remove the electric plug from the wall outlet. Then insert the electric plug back into the wall outlet, turn the power back on and check the operation.

■ When warning indication is shown by the blinking indicators:

The warning status will be notified by the combination lighting of the projector’s indicators.

For the warning contents and the action to be taken, refer to “Warning Indication” on page 66.

■ Maintenance

• Stains on the cabinet

These should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wring well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the cabinet may deteriorate in quality, become damaged, or show paint peeled, note the following:

– Do not wipe with rough cloth.

– Do not wipe vigorously.

– Do not wipe with thinner or benzene.

– Do not apply any volatile substance such as insecticides.

– Do not allow any rubber or vinyl article to remain in contact with the cabinet for a long time.

• Stains on the lens

These should be cleaned off with commercially available lens blowers or lens cleaning paper (for cleaning glasses and cameras).

Do not use liquid cleaning agents. This could cause the surface coating to be removed.

Do not rub, scratch or hit the lens as its surface is prone to damage.
