Useful Features and Functions Mercury-free Hybrid Light Source A CASIO-original laser and LED hybrid light source delivers high luminance up to 2,700 lumens (XJ-V1)/3,000 lumens (XJ-V2). This projector does not use a mercury lamp, making it environmentally friendly. No-wait Projection A CASIO hybrid light source reaches maximum brightness immediately after power is turned on, compared with a wait of approximately one minute normally required with a mercury lamp.
Getting Ready This section explains how to select a location for the projector, how to connect its cables, and how to perform other operations required before using it. Setting Up the Projector Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure that you allow sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. The illustrations below show how the projector should be oriented relative to the screen for optimum projection.
Connecting Projector Cables Connect the projector to a power outlet and to an input source device. Use an RGB cable to connect to the RGB output terminal of a computer or other input source. Use an HDMI cable* to connect to the HDMI output terminal of a computer, video equipment, or other input source. * Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI cable. Use the supplied power cord to plug the projector into a power outlet.
Remote Controller Projector operations are performed using the remote controller that comes with it. Point the remote controller signal emitter at one of the signal receivers on the projector as you perform remote controller key operations. The maximum range of the remote controller signal is approximately 5 meters (16.4 feet) (between signal emitter and receiver). 1 Remote control signal emitter [P] (Power) key 2 [ESC] key Turns power on or off.
To load remote controller batteries Important! Be sure to use alkaline batteries only. *Caution RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. 1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote controller. 2. 3. Close the battery cover on the back of the remote controller. Load two new batteries into the case, making sure that their positive (+) and negative (–) ends are facing correctly.
Operating the Projector This section explains how to use the remote controller to perform projector operations. Selecting the Input Source (INPUT) To select the input source 1.

Cleaning the Projector Make it a habit to clean the projector at regular intervals as described in this section. Before cleaning the projector, be sure to unplug it from the power outlet and make sure it is cooled down completely. Cleaning the Projector Exterior Wipe the exterior of the projector with a soft cloth that has been moistened in a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent. Be sure to wring all excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.
Troubleshooting Indicators The POWER/STANDBY indicator and STATUS indicator change to show the current status of the projector as described in the tables below.
Error Indicators and Warning Messages Warning messages and indicators let you know what the problem is when a projector error occurs. When an error occurs, wait until the fan stops before unplugging the AC power cord. If you unplug the AC power cord while the fan is still operating, an error may occur when you plug the AC power cord back in. Press the [ESC] key to clear the warning message.
Indicator/Error Message POWER : Red steady STATUS : Red flashing (0.5-second interval) Message : – POWER : Red steady STATUS : Red flashing (2-second or 1-second interval) Message : – Description and Required Action The projector was turned off automatically because the light source unit turned off or did not turn on. After confirming that the POWER/STANDBY indicator is lit red (without flashing), unplug the power cord.
Projector Troubleshooting Check the following items whenever you experience any problem with the projector. Problem Cause and Recommended Action Power does not turn on. If the POWER/STANDBY indicator is not lit, the AC power cord is not connected correctly. Connect the AC power cord correctly. If the POWER/STANDBY indicator is lit red and the STATUS indicator is lit (or flashing) red or amber, it means some type of error has occurred. See “Error Indicators and Warning Messages” (page 28).
Problem Cause and Recommended Action The message “Please input the password.” appears and further operation is not possible. The “Option Settings 1 Password” setting on the setup menu is turned on, so the projector is password protected. Input the correct password, and then press the [ENTER] key. See page 23. The remote controller does not work. The remote controller batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries. The remote controller may be too far from the projector.
Appendix Connecting to a Component Video Output This section explains how to establish a component video connection between the projector and a video device. Component video output terminals come in 3-terminal sets: Y·Cb·Cr or Y·Pb·Pr. Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on a component video cable with the colors of the terminals (Green: Y; Blue: Cb/Pb; Red: Cr/Pr). Note that connection only to an analog component video output terminal is supported.
Updating Firmware The projector’s firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) can be updated from a computer connected to the projector’s SERVICE port (USB port for ROM updating) with a USB cable. To connect the projector’s SERVICE port with a computer’s USB port Use a commercially available USB cable to connect the projector’s SERVICE port to the computer’s USB port.
Hanging the Projector from a Ceiling The projector can be hung from a ceiling. When doing so, the projector should be turned upside down, and secured to the ceiling. For full details, contact the retailer where you purchased the projector. Important! When hanging the projector from a ceiling, make sure that it is at least one meter away from fire detectors, fire alarms, and other fire protection devices.
