projector.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to
vibration or shocks.
If the projector is set up in locations with strong
vibration, such as near a motor, or if it is installed inside
a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector may be
subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage
the internal parts and cause malfunctions or accidents.
Accordingly, set up the projector in a place which is
free from such vibrations and shocks.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power
lines or near motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic
interference if it is set up near high-voltage power lines
or motors.
if installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified
technician to carry out all installation work.
If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling,
you will need to purchase the separate installation kit
(Model No.: ET-PKL6500/S). Furthermore, all
installation work should only be carried out by a
qualified technician.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining
onto the screen, the images projected will not have
good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over any
windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the
screen to prevent reflection.
Depending on the environment where used, hot air
from the cooling fan vent may in rare cases cause
disturbances on the screen.
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. Moreover, when not using the
projector, cover it with the accessory lens cover.
About the screen
If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or
discolored, attractive projections cannot be obtained.
Do not apply any volatile substances to the screen,
and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be sure to disconnect the
power cord plug from the wall outlet.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of neutral detergent in it, squeeze
the cloth very well, and then wipe the cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with the cloth before use.
Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.
If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Use a
blower to clean any dust and lint from the lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.

Screen 75 6 70
[unit : mm]
Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above
table can be calculated using the formulas below.
If the screen size (diagonal) is SD, then the following
formulas is first used to obtain the screen width (SW).
SW = (SD x 0.0254) x4+5 (SD unit is inches)
The value for SW obtained above can then be used
with the following function to calculate the projection
distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the
projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).
LW = 1.831 x SW - 0.071
LW = 2.449 x SW - 0.066
For 16 : 9 aspect rations, the following formal can be
used to calculate the screen width (SW).
SW = (SD x 0.0254) x 16 +/327
* The dimensions in the table above and the values
obtained from the above formulas may contain
slight errors.
* It is recommended that you use the projection
distance for the wide lens position (except in cases
where the diagonal picture size is 0.762 m [30"]).
* The above dimensions are the case when the
aspect ratio is 4:3. When an SXGA signal is input
and projected, the right and left ends of the picture
will be blanked the aspect ratio will be 5:4.
B Setup precautions
* Before connecting any of your video/audio equipment to the projector, carefully read the owners manual supplied
with the equipment once again.
= All cable connections should be made with the entire system devices, including the projector, first turned off.
» Obtain commercial interconnecting cables for devices supplied with no accessory or optional interconnect cables.
* Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or shake. Inserting
a time base corrector (TBC) in the projector's video line will relieve this problem.
The projector only accepts composite-video, S-video, analog-RGB (with TTL sync. level), and digital signal from PC.
* The projector contains built-in speakers. When greater sound output is required, use an audio amplifier connected
to the projector's AUDIO OUT jack. Once the cable is plugged into the AUDIO OUT jack, the audio signal lines to the
internal speakers are automatically cut off.
Some PC models are not compatible with the PT-L6500U/L6600U projector.
