  • Page 11: ➋ Introduction To The Projector

    ➋ Introduction to the Projector This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls. Congratulations on Your Purchase of the Projector This DLP™ projector is one of the very best projectors available today. The projector enables you to project pre- cise images up to 300 inches (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player or document camera. You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can use the projector to project images from behind the screen, and the projector can be permanently mounted on a ceiling* Do not attempt to mount the projector on a ceiling yourself. The projector must be installed by qualified technicians in order to ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of bodily injury. In addition, the ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the installation must be in accor- dance with any local building codes. Please consult your dealer for more information.

    2. Installation and Connections This section describes how to set up your projector and how to connect video and audio sources. ➊ Setting Up the Screen and the Projector Selecting a Location The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is 33" (0.84 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 57 inches (1.44 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 484 inches (12.3 m) from the wall or screen. Use the chart below as a rough guide. 487.7(W)×365.8(H) / 192(W)×144(H) 406.4(W)×304.8(H) / 160(W)×120(H) 365.8(W)×274.3(H) / 144(W)×108(H) 304.8(W)×228.6(H) / 120(W)×90(H) 243.8(W)×182.9(H) / 96(W)×72(H) 203.2(W)×152.4(H) / 80(W)×60(H) 162.6(W)×121.9(H) / 64(W)×48(H) 121.9(W)×91.4(H) / 48(W)×36(H)

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.

  • Page 21: ➋ Making Connections

    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.

    If you want, you can select the menu language later. (→ [LAN- GUAGE] on page 65) NOTE: • If one of the following things happens, the projector will not turn on. - If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector’s internal components to cool down. - When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp. - If the lamp fails to light, and if the STATUS indicator flashes on and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power. • The projector cannot be turned off with the ON/STAND BY button or the POWER OFF button while the POWER indicator is flashing green in a cycle of 0.5 second on and 0.5 second off. • Do not disconnect the AC power supply to the projector for 60 seconds immediately after turning it on and displaying an im- age. • Immediately after turning on the projector, screen flicker may occur. This is normal. Wait 3 to 5 minutes until the lamp light- ing is stabilized. • If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off or when the temperature is high, the fans run without dis- playing an image for some time and then the projector will display the image. 3.

  • Page 89 • If the used packing ring is stuck inside the projector (Fig. B), remove it from inside the projector before install- ing the new lamp housing. To remove the packing ring, simply pull it off of the stud. * In other cases where the lamp is removed (other than lamp replacement), pulling out the lamp housing may also cause the packing ring to stay stuck inside the projector. If this happens, make sure to insert the lamp housing back in its original position. CAUTION • Before removing the used packing ring, be sure to turn off the projector, wait for the cooling fan to stop, dis- connect the power cable, and allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool. The projector can become very hot when it is turned on and stay hot immediately after it is turned off. • Do not install a new lamp with the used packing ring stuck inside the projector as it requires excessive force to install the new lamp which then may cause damage to the projector.

NOTE: Tighten the two screws alternately until both screws are completely tightened. Failure to do this can result in air leak from the cooling pump, causing the pump error. (→ page 83) 5. Reattach the lamp cover.

  • Page 94 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 be- fore 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. See page 76 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 projec- tor. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external dis- play. 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 pre- vious 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 projec- tor) 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 dis- playable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.
