Names of the Remote Control Parts Two types of remote control are available for this projector, and both types are described. See the description of the remote control (and the drawing) for the type supplied with the projector. Precautions Handling of the Remote Control * Do not drop the remote control or handle it inappropriately.
* Exposure of the main unit’s remote control sensor or the remote control infrared transmitter to bright light or the obstruction of the signal by an obstacle located in the pathway may prevent operation. * To prevent operational difficulties with the sensor when the projector is installed suspended, install the projector 1.5 m or further from fluorescent lighting.
When making connections with the video equipment’s YCbCr connector or YPbPr connector, see “Connections with Component Signals” on Page E-19. When playing the audio through the built-in speaker of the projector, see “Connections with the AUDIO Jack” on Page E-20.
Placement Guide • Use this information as a guide to find out about the screen size when the projector is placed at a certain location, or to find out the approximate size of a screen that will be required. • The projection distance over which focussing is adjustable is 1.20 m (3.9 feet) to 11.78 m (38.65 feet). The projector should be placed within this range.

2. Check the following matters and take the required measures. When the projector is being used in a location that has a high ambient temperature, set it up again in a cool location. Check the outflow and intake holes and clean them if they are obstructed.
• Does the projection distance exceed the focusing range? • Is there condensation on the lens, etc.? If the projector is moved from a cool storage area to a warm place and the power is turned on, condensation may form on the lens or internal optical parts.
Cleaning the Inside of the Projector Cleaning of the inside of the projector is required about once a year. Failure to clean over a long period while dust has collected inside the projector could cause a fire or breakdown. Do not clean the inside of the projector by yourself. Please be sure to contact your dealer.
Replacing the Lamp Cartridge • The lamp that is used as a light source in the projector has a limited service life. The rated service life of the lamp is about 2000 hours (when used in normal mode only). This could be shortened depending on conditions of use and other factors.
Page 60
Replacing the Lamp Cartridge Preparations: Turning the projector upside-down on top of a soft cloth, etc., so that it does not get scratched makes it easier to replace the lamp cartridge. Turn the projector right-side up after replacing the lamp cartridge.

5 seconds will clear the lamp timer. Checking that the STATUS indicator is out will show that the lamp timer has been cleared. Contact a store that sells the KG-PS100S/KG-PS120X/KG-PS125X for a replacement lamp. Indicate you need a KG-LPS1230 replacement lamp for the KG-PS100S/KG-PS120X/KG-PS125X (order code 000-155).
