f

In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over 

windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the 

screen.

r

If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.
Attach the supplied lens cap to the projection lens when you do not use the projector.

r

The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that 

such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual image may remain on the 

LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear. 

r

When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. is present, 

the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, deflection panel and other optical parts may be shorter even if used for less than one 

year. Consult your dealer for details. 

r

Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor. 

r

The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.

 

f

The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.

 

f

The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to 

cumulative runtime.

 

f

The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use for 12 

hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.

 

f

In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.

 

f

The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit 

consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 101), "Replacing the Lamp unit" (x page 101))

 

f

If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.

 

f

It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.

r

When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded 

cables as well.
