IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Fire and Shock Precautions • Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the buildup of heat inside the unit. Allow at least 10 cm (3 inches) of space between the unit and walls.
Heightened effectiveness with picture in picture The video image is projected as a sub-picture within the personal computer picture. This expands the usefulness of the projector even more. Digital technology corrects the horizontal and vertical keystone dis- tortion of the projected picture New technology is used to correct the horizontal keystone distortion in addition to the regular key- stone correction.

2.68m (8.8 feet) + 0.03m (0.1 feet) = 2.71m (8.9 feet) (without a stand) An installation room with a height of 2.4m (7.9 feet) will have insufficient room height even when the projector is placed on the floor. (Note that the rear adjusters can be raised to lower the projection screen image.)
AUDIO VIDEO Note This projector uses a 29-pin DVI connector that supports the digital interface. Digital signal TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling) of the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard is used. Monitor output DVI-D cable (Available as an option. Order code: 28-697)
AUDIO VIDEO Note * Before making connections, check the power of the projector and the equipment to be connected is switched off. * When projection will be with a notebook computer connected, knowledge will be required for the cable connec- tion and notebook computer startup procedure as well as the operation that follows startup.
Note: Table information is current to September 2002. Note When the liquid crystal display of the notebook computer and the projector are displayed at the same time, the projected image might not be correct even though the liquid crystal display shows a correct indication. Should this occur, stop the simultaneous display of the notebook computer and try the mode with external output only.
Connections with Video Connectors Video Equipment with VIDEO Connectors * Make the connection to the VIDEO connector of the projector using a video cable. * Switch the input selection of the projector to "Video". Video Equipment with S-VIDEO Connectors * Make the connection to the VIDEO connector of the projector using an S-video cable.
When the Video Connectors are Y, Pb, and Pr Connectors * Connect a DVI/mini D-sub 15-pin conversion cable to the PC connector of the projector, then make a further connection using a component cable (which is available as an option).
VIDEO Note The AUDIO jack of the projector is a 2.5 mm diameter stereo mini jack. Connection is not possible using the common (3.5 mm diameter) stereo mini jack cable from the headphone jack of the personal computer or video equipment.
The projector is now capable of regular projection. Switch on the power of the connected equipment Note When the power plug will be unplugged from the power outlet, please place the projector near the power outlet so that it may be reached easily. Lit amber Firmly plug in all the way.
Under normal circumstances, please do not unplug the power cable unless the POWER indicator is lit in amber. Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or result in breakdown of the projector. Do not unplug the power cable while the POWER indicator is flashing amber. Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp or damage the projector.
Adjusters" on Page E-27. (4) A projection image such as that illustrated in the diagram is the result of the projector not being perpendicular to the screen. Set the projector so that it is pointing straight toward the screen.
Turn the focus ring to the right or left and adjust the focus. Should the size of the projection image extend be- yond the screen or be smaller than the screen, move the projector forward or backward and readjust the focus. Adjustment of the Projection Screen ( 1 )

Content of Adjustments and Settings Example: Brightness adjustment display Brightness Display Item Brightness Adjusts the brightness of the image. Brightness decreases in the (-) direction and increases in the (+) direction. Contrast Adjusts the contrast of the image. Contrast becomes less distinct in the (-) direction and more pronounced in the (+) direction.
This adjustment is used when the projection screen is dis- torted. Note that extreme distortion cannot be corrected and in such cir- cumstances the projector should be placed to face the screen straight on beforehand. Adjustment Method (1) To adjust up-down distortion (e.g., Screen Example 1), press the HKSTN button.
The image can also be moved in the following circumstances. * When "Aspect" is set to "Real" by the signal of the personal computer, and the input resolution is higher than the display resolution of the projector. * When "Aspect" is set to "Zoom" by the video signal.
General Operation Adjustment of the Volume This function adjusts the volume of the built-in speaker. (1) Press the VOL button. The volume adjustment display will appear. Volume (2) Adjust the volume. The (+) button increases the volume and the (-) button de- creases the volume.

V I D The temperature has become abnormally high. * The thermal protector is activated. if the room tem- perature is high, move the projector to a cool lo- cation. If the internal temperature of the projector POWER is high, check the ventilation holes of the cooling fan and clean them if they are obstructed.
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.
* Is there condensation on the lens and other parts? When the projector has been stored in a cold location and the power is switched on in a warm location, there may be condensation on the lens and other internal optical parts.

Check * Other than for "Setup" and "Info.", selection is not per- mitted unless a signal is input to the projector and an image or picture is projected. * There will not be a display unless the personal com- puter screen is being projected.
Avoid using the vacuum directly without attaching the adapter as well as the use of a nozzle adapter. * Do not scratch or otherwise hit the projector body with your nails or other hard object, since this will cause scratches.
Replacing the Lamp Cartridge The lamp as a light source used in the unit has a lifespan. The rated lamp life is about 1,000 hours. The rated lamp life is the average life of the lamps produced and tested (under the test conditions of our company) for a long term, however, it may become shorter depending on the conditions of usage.
Page 67
PREPARATION Turn the projector upside down and place it on a soft cloth that has been prepared in advance to prevent scratches. This will assist in lamp cartridge replacement. After replacement, return the projector to the original condition. Disconnect the power cable.
