The remote control does not work
Check
Is the remote control facing towards the remote control light-receiving area on the projector when it is operated?
Is the remote control too far from the projector?
Is direct sunlight or strong light from fluorescent lamps shining onto the remote control light-receiving area?
Are the batteries dead, or have the batteries been inserted correctly?
Has a remote control button been pressed for more than 30 seconds?
Remedy
Face the remote control towards the remote control light-receiving area.
The operating angle for the remote control is approximately ±30º horizontally and approximately ±15º vertically.
The operating range for the remote control is approximately 20 ft (6 m).
Set the projector up in a location where strong light will not shine onto the remote control light-receiving area.
Insert new batteries, while making sure that they are inserted in the correct direction. s
If any of the buttons on the remote control are pressed down for more than 30 seconds, the remote control stops sending signals (remote control's 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.

Appendices
This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector.
Installation
Setting Up the Projector
The projector supports the following four different projection methods, allowing you to choose the best method for displaying your images.
• Before setting up the projector, make sure you read the
Important Safety Instructions first. s
• Do not set this projector up on its side to carry out projection, otherwise malfunctions may occur.
• Front projection (Front projection)
• Front/ceiling projection (Front/Ceiling projection)
• Rear/ceiling projection using a translucent screen
(Rear/Ceiling projection)
58
• Rear projection using a translucent screen (Rear projection)
* A special method of installation is required for suspending the projector from a ceiling. Please contact your supplier if you would like to use this installation method. The optional ceiling mount is required when
installing the projector on a ceiling. s p.69
When using ceiling projection or projection using a translucent screen, set the "Projection" command in the
"Extended" menu to match the installation method.
s
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.
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions s
before cleaning.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Clean the projector’s surface 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’s surface. Then wipe it again with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol or thinner to clean the projector's surface. These can cause the projector 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 Filters and Air Intake Vent
If dust collects on the air filter or the air outlet, it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shortening of the optical engine's service life.
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in particularly dusty environments.
If the air filters are broken or if the warning message reappears after they have been cleaned, they should be
replaced. Replace with a new air filter. See “Replacing
59
Maintenance
Replacing Consumables
This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the lamp, and the air filters.
Replacing the batteries
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. Replace the batteries. Have two spare AAAsize alkaline batteries ready to use when required.
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions s
before handling the batteries.
B
Insert the batteries.
Check the positions of the (+) and (–) marks inside the battery holder to ensure that the batteries are inserted the correct way.
60
C
Replace the battery cover.
Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.
PROCEDURE
A
Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the catch of the battery compartment cover, lift the cover up.
Catch
Maintenance
Lamp Replacement Period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
.
• The message "Replace the Lamp." appears on the screen when projection starts
A message will be displayed.
• When the Lamp indicator is flashing orange
Flashing orange
• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate
• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following periods of time in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected images.
· When used continuously at high brightness: Approx.
1900 hours
· When used continuously at low brightness: Approx.
2900 hours
• 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.
• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and on the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready in case it is needed.
• Contact your dealer for a spare lamp.
Replacing the Lamp
• 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 on a 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. To give the lamp enough time to cool down after turning off the power, wait for about one hour.
61
Maintenance
PROCEDURE

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 that is emitting light. If the colour temperature is high, the colours take on a bluish tinge. If the colour temperature is lower, the colours 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), 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.”
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.
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 =
, i =
)
of 16:9
•
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 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).
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.

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. If the connected source has a sRGB mode, set both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.
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 and RGB video equipment 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 and RGB video equipment 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 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 640 (horizontal)
× 480 (vertical) dots which is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal)
