In order to get the best picture quality
 

Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off 
any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or 
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.

Do not touch the surfaces of the lens or the front 
glass with your bare hands.
 

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from 
fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified 
and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not 
using the projector, close the front panel cover.

Liquid crystal panel
 

Do not project the same image for long periods of 
time, as this may remain as an afterimage on the 
liquid crystal panel. Display the white screen test 
pattern for more than an hour to remove it. See 
“TEST PATTERN” on page 45.

 

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with 
very high precision technology to provide fine picture 
details. Occasionally, a few stuck pixels may appear 
on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. It 
is recommended to switch off the projector once and 
try after 1 hour later again. Please note that this does 
not affect the performance of your LCD.

The projector has a high pressure mercury lamp and 
that is characterised as follows.
 

The brightness of the lamp depends on the duration 
of use.

 

The lamp may explode or shorten the lamp life by 
shocks or chipping damage.

 

The lamp may explode only occasionally after using 
the projector.

 

The lamp may explode if using the projector after the 
instructed lamp replacement timing.

 

When the lamp exploded, it emits internal smoke-like 
gas.

 

The lamp life is depends on individual lamp 
characteristics, usage condition and the installation 
environment. Especially the consecutive use of the 
projector for more than 10 hours, or the frequent 
switching on or off may greatly affect on the lamp life 
even when lamp usage is less than 1 year.
