Choosing a location Your projector is designed to be installed in one of two possible installation locations: 1. Floor in front of screen; or 2. Floor at rear of screen Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. I.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal centre of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel film projectors did).
This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room. The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room. 1. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance. 2. Refer to the table on page 16 and find the closest match to your measurement in the average distance from screen column labelled 'Average'.

Maintenance Care of the projector Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is to keep the lens clean. Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts need replacing. Cleaning the lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. • • Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
When the projector is in operation, the duration (by hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows: Total (equivalent) lamp hour = hours used in Economic mode + hours used in normal mode See "Economic Mode (Off)" on page 36 for more information on Economic mode. The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 2/3 of that in normal mode.
Replacing the Lamp • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cord before changing the lamp. • To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp. • To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
ENGLISH Step 6. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use the handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the projector. • Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break and scatter broken glass in the projector. • Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on it, children can reach it, or near flammable materials. • Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp is removed.
