Precautions with regard to safety WARNING If a problem occurs (such as no image or no sound) or if you notice smoke or a strange smell coming from the projector, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. • Do not continue to use the projector in such cases, otherwise fire or electric shocks could result. • Cheque that no more smoke is coming out, and then contact an Authorized Service Centre for repairs.
Precautions with regard to safety Do not place liquid containers on top of the projector. • If water spills onto the projector or gets inside it, fire or electric shocks could result. • If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorized Service Centre. Do not insert any foreign objects into the projector. • Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the projector or drop them onto the projector, as doing so can result in fire or electric shocks.
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used. • Strong light is emitted from the projector’s lens. If you look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage your eyes. Do not bring your hands or other objects close to the air outlet port. • Heated air comes out of the air outlet port. Do not bring your hands or face, or objects which cannot withstand heat. Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified technician. • The lamp unit has high internal pressure.
Precautions on handling Cautions regarding transportation Be sure to attach the lens cover before transporting the projector. The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When carrying the projector, be careful not to subject to excessive vibration or shock while under transport. Cautions regarding setting-up Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector. Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
;; ; Example of System up The projector features a wealth of interface ports and optional parts that can be used to set up the projection system in diverse ways. The following presents some of those setup examples: System 1 System 2 Picture brightness can be doubled by stacking two projectors with the stacking brackets.

OPTION 2 settings SETTING UNIT ID UNIT ID is used to set projector IDs when the user wishes to control two or more projectors either simultaneously or separately. SET ID ALL 1 2 3 "ALL": The projectors can be simultaneously controlled from any remote control regardless of their ID settings. "1": The projector can be controlled from the remote control with its projector ID set to “1”. "2": The projector can be controlled from the remote control with its projector ID set to “2”.
Using the SERIAL The projector is equipped with an RS-232C standard serial terminal at the rear. It is therefore possible to connect it to a computer for control.
Using the SERIAL Control command When controlling the projector using a computer, commands are as follows: Command Control contents PON Power ON POF Power OFF AVL Volume Remarks During standby mode, commands other than PON are invalid. • While the lamp is ON and being controlled, the PON command is invalid.
Using the remote terminal ; ; Using the remote terminal built into this projector, it is possible to operate the projector from an external location from where infrared remote control signals cannot be received, by using a remote control panel.
Indication of lamp monitor This projector is equipped with 3 indicators to show when a lamp needs replacement or there is an abnormal internal temperature. These lamps flash or light up to indicate a problem. Turn the power off and follow the steps below.
Cleaning and replacing the air filter If too much dust accumulates in the air filter, the temperature inside main unit will become high. • With the PT-L6510E, the temperature sensor (TEMP) lamp will flash. • With the PT-L6600E, the temperature sensor (TEMP) lamp will flash and the light source lamp will go out. Clean the air filter approximately every 100 hours of use, although more frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on the environment. Cleaning method 1.
Replacing the lamp unit Caution! Caution! Replacement of the lamp unit should only be carried out by a qualified technician. Replace the lamp unit only after it has completely cooled off.
