Important Information

LAMP HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and properly as mentioned below.
• A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or expiration of lifetime.
• The lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is not guarantee
of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than
other similar lamps.
• A lamp gradually becomes darker with time of use.
• If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP indicator blinks red rapidly), chanc-
es of explosion become higher. Replace the lamp with a new one immediately.
• Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you do not suffer from the gas and broken shards
of the lamp.

IF A LAMP EXPLODES
If a lamp explodes, the gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and they may come
out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury.
Open windows and doors for ventilation.
If you inhale the gas or the shards of the broken lamp enter your eyes or mouth, consult the doctor
immediately.
If a lamp explodes, its shards may scatter inside the projector. Ask the Canon service representa-
tive to clean and check the inside of the projector and replace the lamp.

DISPOSAL OF WASTE LAMP


Dispose of the mercury lamp of the projector according to the local regulation just like the fluores-
cent lamp.

Lamp Replacement
• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 57.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message [Replace with the new lamp.] 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.

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

iv
Important Information
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected
from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the
lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to
melting the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens or a projector exhaust
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from
the output and exhaust.
• Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not use any power cords than the supplied one.
- 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 person-
nel 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.

CAUTION
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left side (when seen from the front) as it can become heated
while the projector is turned on.
• 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.
• Select [High] in Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu, select

H1 and H2: H1 is the height of the screen from the intersection of optical axis and screen surface, and H2 is the
height of the intersection when an image is projected at right angle to the screen.

TIP:
• For the relationship between the screen size and projection distance, see the table on page 68, 69.
• The sizes in the above table have been obtained assuming that the aspect ratio is 4:3. They may vary from the actual sizes
depending on the type of the projected image.
• The Zoom lever adjusts the image size (diagonal) +/- 30%.

NOTE:
This projector can be hung from the ceiling (Ceiling mounted) with it turned up side down.
When a translucent screen is used, the projector can project an image from behind the screen (Rear).
When the projector is hung from the ceiling or projector projects an image from behind the screen, the image must be inverted
vertically or horizontally. See page 49.
• When hanging the projector from the ceiling, optional brackets (part No. LV-CL11) are required.

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.

2. Installation and Connections

❷ Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook 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.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power man-
agement software.

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 more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.

2. Installation and Connections
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal (LV-7265)
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI digital cable (not supplied)
before turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select Computer 2 (Digital) from the source
menu before turning 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 digital 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.

NOTE:
• Use a DVI digital cable or the one compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revi-
sion 1.0 standard. The DVI digital cable should be within 5 m (196") long. Both single and dual types of DVI digital cable can
be used.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), SXGA (1280x1024 @ up

There are some notebook PCs, which do not output signal unless there is a projector or monitor connected
first.
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 53 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 more details, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.

• 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.
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 x 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.

*1 Effective pixels are more than 99.99%.


*2 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 DVI input, this does not necessarily mean the LV-7265 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).
