SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE?] message at the time of power-off.

TIP:

• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO

2

Amount of CO

2

emission reduction.

emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE − Power consumption in AUTO ECO/NORMAL/ECO for

ECO MODE) × CO will also increase.

The projector may erroneously determine the aspect ratio depending on its signal. If this occurs, select the appropriate aspect ratio from the following.

The image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio.

The image is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio.

The image is displayed in 15:9 aspect ratio.

The image is displayed in 16:10 aspect ratio.

The image is stretched left and right.

Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the left and right edges and therefore not visible.

The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical directions to fit the screen. Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the top and bottom edges and therefore not visible.

The projector displays the current image in its true resolution when the incoming computer signal has a lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution.

[Example 1] When the incoming signal with the resolution of 800

× 600 is displayed on the P554U/

WARNING

* Installing your projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.

* Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.

• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between

41°F (5°C) and 104°F (40°C) (Eco mode selected automatically at 95°F to 104°F/35°C to 40°C).

• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or the front of the projector.

Reflecting the Image

Using a mirror to reflect your projector’s image enables you to enjoy a much larger image when a smaller space is required. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror system. If you’re using a mirror system and your image is inverted, use the MENU and ▲▼◀▶ buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote control to correct the orientation. (

6. Installation and Connections

NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.

This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.

* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:

Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.

Enabling the computer’s external display

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.

When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.

Usually, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

Cautions when using a DVI signal

• When the computer has a DVI output terminal, use a commercially available converter cable to connect the computer to the projector’s HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 input terminal (only digital video signals can be input).

HDMI 1 IN HDMI 2 IN

AUDIO IN

NOTE: When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal

• Turn off the power of the computer and projector before connecting.

• When a video deck is connected via a scan converter, etc., the display may not be correct during fast-forwarding and rewinding.

• Use a DVI-to-HDMI cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard.

The cable should be within 197"/5 m long.

• Turn off the projector and the PC before connecting the DVI-to-HDMI cable.

• To project a DVI digital signal: Connect the cables, turn the projector on, then select the HDMI input. Finally, turn on your PC.

Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.

• Do not disconnect the DVI-to-HDMI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.

• The COMPUTER video input terminals support Windows Plug and Play.

• A Mac signal adapter (commercially available) may be required to connect a Mac computer.

8. Appendix

If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.

• Power on process for the projector and the PC.

Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on the power to the notebook PC.

In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before being powered up.

NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (

page 81

or go to next step)

• Enabling the computer’s external display.

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.

When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

• Non-standard signal output from the computer

If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use.

Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.

• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac

When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect.

For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Mac again.

NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Inc. is needed for a MacBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin terminal.

• Mirroring on a MacBook

* When using the projector with a MacBook, output may not be set to 1024 × 768 unless “mirroring” is off on your MacBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Mac computer for mirroring.

• Folders or icons are hidden on the Mac screen

Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple menu and arrange icons.

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?

HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).

If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly.

With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

8 Using the Computer Cable (VGA) to Operate the Projector

(Virtual Remote Tool)

Using the utility software “Virtual Remote Tool” that is available to download from our web site, Virtual Remote screen

(or toolbar) can be displayed on your computer screen.

This will help you perform operations such as projector’s power on or off and signal selection via the computer cable (VGA), serial cable, or LAN connection. Only via serial or LAN connection it is also used to send an image to the projector and register it as the logo data of the projector. After registering it, you can lock the logo to prevent it from changing.

Control Functions

Power On/Off, signal selection, picture freeze, picture mute, audio mute, Logo transfer to the projector, and remote control operation on your PC.
