Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is
not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.

On preventing internal heat build-

up
After you turn off the power with the I/1
(on/standby) switch, do not disconnect the
unit from the wall outlet while the cooling
fan is still running.

Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything
near these holes, or internal heat build-up
may occur, causing picture degradation or
damage to the projector.

Installing the Projector and a Screen
The installation distance between the projector and a screen varies depending
on the size of the screen.
1 Determine the installation position of the projector and screen.
You can obtain a good quality picture if you position the projector with the
center of the lens within the areas indicated in the gray areas in the
illustration. Use the values a, b, c, d and e in the table on page 11 as a guide.

projector’s lens when using the maximum vertical lens shift feature*
d: Horizontal distance between the center of the screen and the center of
the projector’s lens when using the maximum horizontal lens shift
feature*
e: Maximum vertical distance between the center of the screen and the
center of the projector’s lens when using both the vertical and
horizontal lens shift features with the horizontal lens shift set to the
maximum value*
* The distances c, d and e indicated in the illustration show those in the lower

12 Step 1: Installing the Projector

Step 2: Connecting the Projector

Connections and Preparations

When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often
generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug,
not the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

to connect to the S-video output of the DVD player/recorder, hard disk video recorder,
digital tuner, etc. using the S video cable. If the connected equipment is not equipped
with the S-video output connector, use the video cable to connect to the video output
jack on the equipment.

About the Preset Memory No.

This projector has 32 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory).
When the preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal
type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to
an optimum picture. The memory number and signal type of that signal are
displayed in the Information menu.
You can also adjust the preset data through the Signal menu.
This projector also has 20 types of user memories for Input-A into which you
can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is
displayed as 0. When you adjust the data of the signal in the Signal menu,
it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are
registered, the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 55 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.

Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen
is displayed in black.

Adjusting Picture Quality of a Signal from the
Computer
You can automatically adjust to obtain the clearest picture when projecting a
signal from the computer.

1 Project a still picture from the computer.

2 Press the APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) button.
When the picture is adjusted properly, “complete!” appears on the screen.

Notes
• When “Smart APA” is set to “On,” the APA function is automatically activated.
• Press the APA button when the image appears on the whole display area of the
computer. If there are black edges around the image, the APA function will not
function properly and the image may extend beyond the screen.
• If you switch the input signal or re-connect a computer, press the APA button again
to get the suitable picture.
• To restore the original screen, press the APA button again during the adjustment.
• When a signal of which the timing is the same as the “Memory No.37” or the
“Memory No.55” signal (refer to the “Preset Signals” chart) is input, if the polarity of
the synchronized signal is different, the input signal may be misjudged and the image
may not appear properly (incorrect aspect ratio or lack of a part of the image). In this
case, press the APA button to adjust the image. This APA processing time may be
longer than the APA processing time of signal in another case. If the image does not
still appear properly, input the signal as described in the following example, then
press the APA button again.
Example:
Display of multiple icons or Windows bar in the lower part on a whitish wallpaper
