Important Lamp Information

The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted (inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SP-LAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the lamp warranty (and if use of the wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void the projector warranty).

See the safety instructions booklet for important safety information about ceiling mounting this projector.

Adjusting the Projector Elevation Angle

You can change the elevation angle of the projector in a range of 0 to 12 degrees. You can also make fine adjustments to the left and right side elevation angle when necessary.

To change the projector elevation angle

1.

Lift up the front of the projector and press the release button.

z This causes the elevation adjustment foot to drop from the bottom of the projector.

z Be sure to press the release button before trying to lower the elevation adjustment foot. Pulling on the foot without pressing the release lever can damage the foot.

2.

While holding down the release button, raise and lower the front of the projector until the elevation adjustment foot is approximately the length you need.

3.

Release the release button to lock the elevation adjustment foot in its current position.

4.

Use the left and right adjustment feet to further fine adjust the elevation angle.

z The left and right adjustment feet are for fine adjustment only. Do not try to rotate them too far. Doing so can cause an adjustment foot to detach. Tightening an adjustment foot too strongly can cause it to become stuck.

Rotate to adjust horizontal alignment.

z To retract the elevation adjustment foot, hold down the release button and slide the elevation adjustment foot back into the projector. Never try to forcibly change the elevation adjustment foot position without pressing the release button.

Rear Projection (From the Back of the Screen)

In the case of rear projection, left/right orientation is opposite that of front projection, so you need to configure the setup menu accordingly. For more detailed operation information, see the

Reference Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

Getting Ready

Turning On the Projector

Before performing any of the operations in this section, make sure you first set up the projector and connect to an output device.

AC Power Cord Precautions

z Use the AC power cord that comes with the projector.

z Make sure that you use a power source with the same voltage as that specified for the projector.

z Do not share the outlet supplying power to the projector with other devices. If you are using an extension cord, make sure that the ampere rating of the extension cord is compatible with the power consumption value of this projector.

z Never use the power cord while it is still bundled together.

z Never place objects on top of the power cord and do not step on it.

z Never pull on the power cord. When unplugging it, grasp the plug.

z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the projector.

To turn on the projector

1.

Use the bundled AC power cord to plug the projector into a power outlet.

z Plugging into a power outlet causes the three indicators on the top of the projector to light amber. After a short while, two of the indicators will go out and only the

POWER/STANDBY indicator will remain lit amber, which indicates the standby state.

z Note that the projector will not turn on if you press the [ ] (power) key while all three indicators are lit amber. Wait until the projector is in the standby state before trying to turn it on.

Power supply connector

Bundled AC power cord

The shape of the plug depends on your geographical area.

z This product is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase-to-phase voltage

230V.

2.

Turn on the computer or video device that is connected to the projector.

3.

If the projector’s lens cover is closed, open it.

z Do not try to force the lens cover open past horizontal. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.

4.

Press the [ ] (power) key.

z This causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to flash green, which indicates that the projector is warming up.

z After warm up is complete, POWER/STANDBY indicator stops flashing and remains lit green, and the projector starts projecting an image from the device connected to it.

z A “Language” window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the procedure under “Specifying the Display Message Language” on the page 11 to configure the language settings.

ASK M9_UG_E.book Page 11 Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:32 PM

Getting Ready

z If the Eco Mode is turned on, the LAMP indicator will light green when warm up starts.

z If the projector is hot when you plug the AC power cord into a power outlet, it will go into a cool down state. The cool down state is indicated by the POWER/STANDBY indicator flashing orange.

Note that the projector will not turn on until cool down is complete, even if you press the

[ ] (power) key.

The projector will turn on and enter the standby state after cool down is complete.

Specifying the Display Message Language

A “Language” window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the menu on this screen to specify the display language you want to use.

1.

Use the cursor [ ] and [ ] keys to highlight the language you want to use.

2.

Press the [ENTER] key.

Direct Power On

You can configure the projector so it powers up automatically as soon as you plug it into a power source. With this “Direct Power On” feature, you do not even need to press the [ ]

(power) key. To enable Direct Power On, display the Setup Menu, and then change the “Direct

Power On” setting to “On”.

z When you have Direct Power On enabled, do not leave the projector plugged into an electrical outlet while it is turned off. If you do, there is the chance that it (and the lamp) might turn on automatically when power is restored after being cut off by a power outage, tripping of a breaker, etc. z Direct Power On causes the projector to turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged into a power outlet. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes until you are ready to start projecting. Note, however, that the actual startup sequence (Standby State Power

On Warm Up Projection Starts) that the projector performs is the same, regardless of whether Direct Power On is enabled or disabled. The only difference is what triggers the sequence (plugging in or pressing the [ ] (power) key). For details about the startup sequence that the projector performs when you plug it into a power source, see “To turn on the projector” on page 10.

z For details about configuring the Direct Power On setting, see “Direct Power On” under

“Option Settings 1 Main Menu” in the Reference Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

Turning Off the Projector

z When you turn off the projector, the lamp goes out and the projector goes into a cool down state. Note that you will not be able to turn the projector back on again while it is cooling down.

z The projector may remain quite hot for a while after you turn it off. Take care when moving the projector or otherwise handling it after use. z Make sure that the projector is cooled down sufficiently before storing it.

To turn off the projector

1.

Press the [ ] (power) key.

z This causes the confirmation message “Do you want to turn off the projector?” to appear in the center of the projection screen.

z If you do not turn off the projector the confirmation message will disappear automatically after about 10 seconds. The confirmation message will also disappear if you press [ESC] key.

2.

To turn off the projector, press the [ ] (power) key again in response to the confirmation message.

z This causes the projector lamp to go out and stops projection.

z Also the POWER/STANDBY indicator starts to flash amber, which indicates that the projector is cooling down.

z The projector will not turn back on again while it is cooling down.

z After cool down is finished, the POWER/STANDBY indicator on the top of the projector will light amber, which indicates the standby state. You can now turn the projector back on, if you want.

3.

After checking to make sure that the POWER/STANDBY indicator has stopped flashing amber and remains lit, unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet.

z This causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to go out.

4.

After ensuring that the projector and the connected computer or video device are turned off, disconnect the connecting cables from the projector and the connected device.

5.

Close the lens cover.

Auto Power Off

Auto Power Off automatically turns off the projector whenever there is no input signal, and no operation is performed on the projector for about 30 minutes. When Auto Power Off is triggered, the projector first enters a cool down state, the same as it does when you press the [ ]

(power) key to turn it off.

z While Direct Power On (page 11) is enabled, the projector will turn off automatically if no

key operation is performed and no signal input is received within about 10 minutes after it is turned on.

ASK M9_UG_E.book Page 14 Tuesday, October 23, 2007 5:32 PM

Projector Basics

Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image

When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by pressing the [AUTO] key. z You can turn off auto adjustment when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain manual settings.

z The projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in progress.

z If an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to adjust items manually.

Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE)

When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may have different length top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called, “keystoning”. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image.

z Keystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original

(uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close

to the configuration shown under “Setting Up the Projector” on page 7.

z The center of the projector’s lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen

(page 7).

Automatic Keystone Correction

When “On” is selected for the “Option Settings 1

Auto Keystone Correction” setting of the Setup Menu, the projector will detect the vertical orientation of the object in the image and adjust its shape automatically so it appears as a rectangle. The message “Auto

Keystone Corrected.” appears in the lower left corner of the projected image when the projector performs auto keystone correction. z The projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction to correct the image.

z Auto keystone correction is performed by detecting the elevation angle of the projector. This means that the surface you are projecting onto needs to be standing straight up. If the surface you are projecting onto is not straight, use manual keystone correction to correct the image.

To use manual keystone correction

1.

Press the [KEYSTONE +] or [KEYSTONE –] key.

z This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.

2.

Use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE –] keys to correct for keystoning.

z Correction can be performed for keystoning within ±30°.

Troubleshooting

Projector Troubleshooting

Check the following items whenever you experience any problem with the projector.

Problem

The projector does not turn on when I press the [ ]

(power) key.

The projector does not project any image from the connected device.

The projector does not correctly project the image from the connected device.

When RGB/

Component is selected as the input source, the color of the projected image or the image itself is abnormal.

Cause and Recommended Action

If the POWER/STANDBY indicator is not lit, the AC power cord may not be connected correctly.

Make sure the AC power cord is connected

correctly to the projector and the power outlet

(see “Turning On the Projector”).

If the TEMP or LAMP indicator remains flashing or lit, it means some type of error has occurred.

See “Error Indicators and Warning Messages

under “Indicators”.

The connected computer or video device may not be turned on, or it may not be outputting a video signal.

Make sure the connected computer or video

device is turned on, and perform the required operation on it to output a video signal.

The correct input source is not selected on the projector.

On the projector, select the input source that

corresponds to the device whose image you are

trying to project (see “Selecting the Input

Source”).

Images may not project correctly when you have the component output terminal of a video device connected to the RGB terminal of the projector.

Try using the projector’s VIDEO input terminal

(see “Connecting to a Standard Video Device”).

The wrong option (“Component” or “RGB”) may be selected for the “Input Settings RGB Input” setting on the setup menu. The image will not be projected correctly if “Component” is selected while the projector’s RGB input terminal is connected to the

RGB output terminal of a computer, or if “RGB” is selected while the projector’s RGB input terminal is connected to the component video output terminal of a video device.

Use the setup menu to change the “Input

Settings RGB Input” setting to “Auto” to correct the problem.

The remote controller does not work.

The remote controller battery may be dead.

Replace the battery (see “Replacing the Remote

Controller Battery”).

The TEMP or LAMP indicator is flashing or lit.

The remote controller may be too far from the projector.

Make sure the remote controller is within the

allowable range when you operate it.

See “Error Indicators and Warning Messages

under “Indicators”.
