→ page

v and

vi

)

• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear side of the cabinet as it can become heated while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off. Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector operation.

Use caution when picking up the projector.

• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified service personnel.

• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.

• Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.

• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.

• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

• Keep any items (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause an unpredictable outcome such as a fire or injury to the eyes.

• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent.

Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the exhaust.

• Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire.

- Do not use any power cord other than the one specified by the manufacturer.

- Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.

- Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.

- Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs.

- Do not heat the power cord.

- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.

• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

- If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.

- If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual.

- If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

• Disconnect the power cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.

• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.

• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• When using a LAN cable:

For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.

iii

Important Information

CAUTION

• A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, causing personal injury.

• Keep hands away from the lens mounting portion while the lens shift is in operation.

Failure to do so could result in hands being pinched by the moving lens.

• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.

• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.

• Set [LAMP SELECT] and [LAMP INTERVAL MODE] if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days.

(From the menu, select [LAMP MODE]

→ [LAMP SELECT] and [LAMP INTERVAL MODE].)

• Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector and starting to display an image.

• Do not unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cord.

To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use the projector's main power switch or a power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.

• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking blue. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.

• Use of a wall outlet with a 20 A or more circuit breaker is recommended.

Caution on Carrying the Projector/Handling the Optional Lens

When shipping the projector with the lens, remove the lens before shipping the projector. Always attach the dust cap to the lens whenever it is not mounted on the projector. The lens and the lens shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation.

Remote Control Precautions

• Handle the remote control carefully.

• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

• Do not short, heat, or take apart batteries.

• Do not throw batteries into fire.

• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.

• Ensure that you have the batteries’ polarity (+/−) aligned correctly.

• Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.

• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.

Note for US Residents

iv

Important Information

Lamp Replacement

• Use the specified lamp for safety and performance.

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page

179 .

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message

[THE LAMP HAS REACHED THE END OF ITS USABLE LIFE.

PLEASE REPLACE THE LAMP 1 (or 2). USE THE SPECIFIED LAMP FOR SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE.] appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.

If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.

A Lamp Characteristic

The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.

A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.

CAUTION:

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.

• When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.

Clearance for Installing the Projector

Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below.

Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed at the projector.

Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens, the temperature inside the projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature protector to automatically turn off the projectors power.

Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector.

50 cm/19.7" or greater 30 cm/12" or greater

NOTE:

The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, back and top of the projector.

v

Important Information

Example 2 – If there is a wall behind the projector.

(1) For floor installation:

70 cm/27.6" or greater

Lens

NOTE:

The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the back, sides and top of the projector.

(2) For ceiling mounting:

30 cm/12" or greater

Lens

70 cm/27.6" or greater

NOTE:

1. The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, sides, back and bottom of the projector.

2. If suspending the projector 30 cm/12 inches away from the ceiling, allow ample clearance for all four sides and the under the projector.

About High Altitude mode

• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher.

Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the projector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.

• Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].

• Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher can shorten the life of internal parts such as the lamp.

NOTE:

• The projector and lenses are made of precision parts. Do not subject them to shock or excessive forces.

• Remove the separately sold lens when moving the projector. If not, the lens could be subject to shock while the projector is being moved, damaging the lens and the lens shift mechanism.

• Turn off the power and wait for the cooling fan to stop and turn off the main power switch before mounting or removing the lens.

• When dismounting the lens from the projector, return the lens position to the home position before turning off the power. Failure to do so may prevent the lens from being mounted or dismounted because of narrow space between the projector and the lens.

• Never touch the lens surface while the projector is operating.

• Be very careful not to let dirt, grease, etc., on the lens surface and not to scratch the lens surface.

• Perform these operations on a flat surface over a piece of cloth, etc., to prevent the lens from getting scratched.

• When leaving the lens off the projector for long periods of time, mount the dust cap on the projector to prevent dust or dirt from getting inside.

• If you have multiple projectors, be careful of the following:

- The NP25FL, NP26ZL, and NP27ZL lenses are designed exclusively for this model of the projector. These lenses are not available on other projector models.

- The other NEC optional lenses are not available on this model of the projector except:

Stacking projectors

The projected image brightness can be doubled by gravity stacking up to two projectors without external support. This is called “Stacking Projection”.

CAUTION:

A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, causing personal injury.

s

NOTE:

• Projectors with different model numbers cannot be gravity stacked.

Optional lenses with the same model numbers must be used for stacking projection.

• The stacking projection does not support accuracy for overlaying two images perfectly so that small text and detailed graphics can be clearly read or seen.

• Use a commercially available distribution amplifier to both the primary (upper) and the secondary (lower) projectors to distribute signal to two outputs of the two projectors.

• Notes for stacking

- Ask your service person for setting up and adjusting projectors.

- Set up the projectors in a place or structure in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the two projectors. The single projector with a lens weighs up to approximately 46 kg/ 101 lbs.

- To prevent the projectors from falling, fasten them in a way to withstand earthquakes.

- Double stacking will cause room temperature to increase. Ventilate the room well.

- Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling. Gravity stacking cannot be done on the ceiling.

- Warm up the projectors for one hour before the desired projection is obtained.

- Set up the projectors so that the projected image shows as little geometric distortions as possible. The lens is different in geometric distortion between wide(+) and tele (−) for zoom.

- Adjust the horizontal lens shift to the lens center.

TIP

• Calculation of the throw distance from the screen size

NP25FL lens throw distance (m) = H × 0.67 : 1.1 m (min.) to 3.2 m (max.)

NP26ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.35 to H × 1.84 : 2.8 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)

NP27ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.84 to H × 2.54 : 4.0 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)

NP28ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 2.62 to H × 4.20 : 9.0 m (min.) to 45.0 m (max.)

NP29ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 4.21 to H × 6.96 : 12.0 m (min.) to 80.0 m (max.)

“H” (Horizontal) refers to the screen width.

* Figures differ by several % with the table above because the calculation is approximate.

Ex.: Throw distance when projecting on a 150" screen using the NP27ZL lens:

According to the “Screen Size (for reference)” table (

page

211

), H (screen width) = 323.1 cm.

The throw distance is 323.1 cm × 1.7 to 323.1 cm × 2.3 = 549.3 cm to 743.13 cm (because of the zoom lens).

• Using the NP28ZL lens will slightly change the image size. When using the NP28ZL lens to adjust the image size, adjust the focus and then the zoom.

Lens shifting range

This projector is equipped with a lens shift function for adjusting the position of the projected image by using the LENS

SHIFT

▼▲◀▶ buttons. The lens can be shifted within the range shown below.

Description of symbols: V indicates vertical (height of the projected image), H indicates horizontal (width of the projected image).

NOTE: The lens shift function cannot be used when the NP25FL lens is used.

Ex.: When projecting on a 150" screen

According to the tables of screen sizes and dimensions for 16:10 (

211 ), H = 323.1 cm, V = 201.9 cm.

Adjustment range in the vertical direction: The projected image can be moved upwards 0.5 × 201.9 cm

≈ 101 cm,

(when the lens is at the center position). For a ceiling/front installation, the above figures are inverted.

Adjustment range in the horizontal direction: The projected image can be moved to the left 0.1 × 323.1 cm

≈ 32 cm, to the right 0.1 × 323.1 cm

≈ 32 cm.

* Figures differ by several % because the calculation is approximate.

9. Appendix

Mounting the Optional Board (sold separately)

CAUTION

Before mounting or removing the optional board, be sure to turn off the projector, wait for the fans to stop and turn off the main power switch.

Tool needed: Phillips screwdriver (plus-head)

The SB-01HC board is used as an example.

1. Turn off the main power switch of the projector.

2. Loosen the two screws on the slot cover of the terminal panel.

Remove the two screws and the slot cover.

NOTE: Keep the two screws and the slot cover.

3. Insert the optional board into the slot.

Make sure that the board is inserted into the slot in the correct orientation.

Incorrect orientation may cause miscommunication between the optional board and projector.

213

4. Tighten the two screws on both sides of the slot.

• Be sure to tighten the screws.

This will complete installation of the optional board.

Refer to the user’s manual included with the board for source selection.

9. Appendix

NOTE:

• Mounting the optional board may cause the fans to run in the standby mode for the purpose of cooling depending on the optional board. The fan speed may also increase in order to cool the projector properly. Both of these instances are considered normal and not a malfunction of the projector.

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 Digital Visual Interface (DVI).

If you are unable to view material via the HDMI and DisplayPort 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).

If the projector is turned on at around 0°C, it may take 5 minutes to warm up the projector. During this warm-up period the TEMP. indicator will flash. When the warm-up is completed, the TEMP. indicator will go off.

Procedure

If the temperature protector is activated

If the projector’s internal temperature rises abnormally, the lamp turns off and the temperature indicator flashes

(repeatedly in cycles of 2).

It may happen that the projector’s temperature protector is simultaneously activated and the projector’s power turns off.

If this happens, do the following:

- Unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

- If using in a place where the surrounding temperature is high, move the projector to a different, cool place.

- If there is dust in the ventilation holes, clean. (

• 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�

* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver or power management software�

• See also the page

226 �

• Check if the projector is in the Forced ECO mode because of too high ambient temperature. If this is the case, lower the internal temperature of the projector by selecting [HIGH] for [FAN MODE]� ( → page

124 )

• Check if an appropriate color is selected in [WALL COLOR]. If so, select an appropriate option. (

→ page

114

)

• Adjust [HUE] in [PICTURE]. ( → page

106 )

• Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. ( → page

• Ensure that the distance between the projector and screen is within the adjustment range of the lens.

(

→ page 209

)

• Has the lens been shifted by an amount exceeding the guaranteed range? (

→ page

212 )

• Is the lens inserted until it comes to a complete stop? (

→ page 157

)

• Condensation may form on the lens if the projector is cold, brought into a warm place and is then turned on.

Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensation on the lens�

• Set [FAN MODE] to other than [HIGH ALTITUDE] mode when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or lower� Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker� Switch [FAN MODE] to

[AUTO]� (

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

129

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 Macintosh

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

For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh 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 Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.

NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub

15-pin connector.

• Mirroring on a PowerBook

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

• Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen

Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View]

→ [Arrange] from the Apple menu and arrange icons.
