Preparation

Preparation for projection

1.  Attach the provided power cord to the projector.
2.  Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.
3.  Remove the lens cap.

Warning:

•  Do not look into the lens directly when the projector 

is on.

•  The lens cap is for protecting the lens. If you leave 

the lens cap on the lens with the projector turned 
on, it may be deformed because of heat build-
up. Remove the lens cap when you turn on the 
projector.

•  One of power cords for the U.S., Europe, 

U.K., Australia, and South Korea is provided 
appropriately.

•  This projector uses the power plug of three-pin 

grounding type. Do not remove the grounding pin 
from the power plug. If the power plug doesn’t fit 
your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the 
wall outlet.

•  In case that the power cord for the U.S. is provided 

with this projector, never connect this cord to any 
outlet or power supply using other voltages or 
frequencies than rated. If you want to use a power 
supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an 
appropriate power cord separately.

•  Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or 

electric shock.

•  Do not place any objects on the power cord or 

do not place the projector near heat sources to 
prevent damage to the power cord. If the power 
cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for 
replacement because it may cause fire or electric 
shock.

•   Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power 

cord is modified or altered, it may cause fire or 
electric shock.

Caution:

•  Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, 

hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord.

•  Do not plug in or out the power cord with your 

hand wet. It may cause electric shock.

•  When you move the projector, turn off the power, 

unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and 
then remove the connected cords. Otherwise, the 
power cord may be damaged, resulting in fire or 
electric shock.

•  If dust or metallic substance is on or around the 

pins of the power plug, unplug the power cord and 
clean it using a dry cloth. If you continue to use the 
projector without cleaning, it may result in fire or 
electric shock. Clean the power plug periodically at 
least once a year.

•  Be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall 

outlet if the projector will not be used for a long 
period of time. Otherwise, it may cause fire.

Adjusting the position of the 

projected image

To adjust the position of the projected image on the 
screen, use the LENS SHIFT dial.
1.  Rotate the LENS SHIFT dial inside the top cover of 

the projector to adjust the image position.

•  Rotating the dial clockwise (or counterclockwise 

for a ceiling-mount projector) moves the image 
up. 

•  Rotating the dial counterclockwise (or clockwise 

for a ceiling-mount projector) moves the image 
down.

•  Be careful not to be caught in the opening in the 

lens while the lens is moving.

•  While the lens shift is working, the screen may 

flicker.

•  Projected images may become distorted, have 

decreased resolution, or have shadows at their 
corners if they are positioned close to the top or 
bottom.

Adjustment of the projection angle

For the best projection, project images on a flat screen 
installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the 
projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom 
of the projector.

Using the adjustment feet (front)

1.  Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.
2.  Rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine 

adjustment.

Important:

•  Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the 

floor.

•  Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and 

left) or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or 

explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up 
to 8 degrees using the adjustment feet only.

•  Images may not be projected in a shape of a 

regular rectangle or with its aspect ratio 4:3, 
depending on the installation conditions of the 
projector and the screen.
