Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.
On preventing internal heat buildup
After you turn off the power with the I/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 38 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the Information menu.
You can also adjust the preset data through the Screen menu.
This projector also contains 20 different user memories beside the preset memories used for inputting analog computer signals. You can save input signals that have not been preset on these user memories.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0.
When you adjust the data of the signal in the Screen menu, it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 72 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.
Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen is displayed in black.

Cleaning and the
Screen of the
Projector
Cleaning the lens
The lens surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the projector, take care with respect to the following:
• Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.
Cleaning the cabinet
• To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide.
• Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.
Black points and bright points (red, blue, or green) on the screen
The projector is manufactured using highprecision technology.
You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the projector.
This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.
