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.

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, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.

10

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.

Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.

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.

About S2 and S1 video signals:

B S2 and S1 video signals are for 16:9 images and include a notification signal when being played by devices such as a DVD player.

B When the projector is set to the “S1/S2” setting shown above, it will detect those notification signals and automatically switch to the correct aspect ratio for projection.

NOTE:

B This projector is equipped with an aspect ratio selection function.

However, if a mode which does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal is selected, it may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture.

Keep this in mind when selecting the aspect ratio.

B If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels with the aim of displaying programs for viewing for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that if the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function is used to change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws.

B If a normal (4:3) picture which was not originally intended for wide-screen viewing is projected onto a wide screen, distortion may occur around the edges of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Such programs should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and intentions of the original program’s creator.

B The following signals have resolutions that are 16:9 image sizes. The aspect ratios for these signals cannot be changed while being played because they are already established. (Refer to page 49.)

B The light generating lamp is made of glass, so dropping it or allowing it to hit hard objects may cause it to burst. Be careful when handling the lamp.

B After having removed the old lamp, carelessly discarding it can cause the lamp to burst. Dispose of the lamp with the same care that would be taken with a fluorescent light.

B A Phillips screwdriver is necessary for removing the lamp unit. Make sure that your hands are not slippery when using the screwdriver.

Lamp unit replacement period

The lamp is a consumable product.

Even when the full life of the bulb has not been exhausted, the brightness of the light will gradually

42

decline. Therefore periodic replacement of the lamp is necessary.

The intended lamp replacement interval is 2000 hours, but it is possible that the lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a particular lamp's characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment.

Early preparation for lamp replacement is encouraged.

A lamp that has exceeded 2000 hours of use has a much greater chance of exploding. In order to prevent the lamp from exploding, the lamp will be automatically shut off when 2000 hours of use have been reached.

NOTE:

B The usage hours explained above are for use when the HIGH setting has been selected for

LAMP POWER in the OPTION menu. If the LOW setting is selected, the brightness of the lamp will be less and life of the lamp can be extended.

B While 2000 hours is the intended replacement interval, it is not a period of time covered by warranty.
