Maintenance

Cleaning of the projector and the

ventilation slots

Use a soft cloth to clean the projector and the ventila-

tion grilles. When the grilles become dirty, wipe them

with a soft cloth dampened with diluted mild deter-

gent, and then wipe them with a dry cloth.

To protect the surface of the projector from fading or

deteriorating:

•Do not spray insecticide on or inside the projector.

•Do not use benzine or thinner to clean it.

• Do not let rubber or plastic materials contact with

projector.

Cleaning of the lens

Use a standard lens-cleaning brush or a piece of lens

tissue dampened with lens cleaning fluid. The lens

surface is fragile. Use only recommended, nonabra-

sive lens-cleaning materials. Do not touch the lens

with your fingers.

Caution:

Be sure to turn off the lamp and unplug the power

cord from the wall outlet before you perform any

maintenance on the projector.

Cleaning of the air-filter

Clean the air-filter fre-

quently (about once a

month). If the filter or

ventilation grilles become

clogged with dirt or dust,

the temperature inside

the projector may rise and

cause troubles, such as

damage to the inside

parts and shortening the

life of the panels.

•When the temperature

inside the projector rises, the STATUS indicator

will blink orange and the lamp will be turned off.

1. Put the projector upside

down and raise the lock of

the filter cover in the

direction of the arrow.

2. Remove the air-filter.

3. Wash the air-filter or

change it with a new filter.

•Use water or diluted

mild detergent to clean

the filter. Rinse the filter

thoroughly and let it dry

completely.

4. Attach the air-filter.

5. Attach the filter cover to the projector.

•Make sure that the air-filter is attached

correctly without displacement.

Important:

• If the filter is damaged or becomes extremely

dirty, change it with a new filter. Contact your

dealer for a new filter.

•The projector will not turn on if the air-filter

cover is attached improperly .

Caution:

Be sure to use the projector with an air-filter. If not,

dust may get inside the projector causing fire and

failure.

Projected images are

obscured.

Cause and solution

• Check that the cable connected to the external device isn't intermittent.

•Connect the cable's plug with the external device's connector firmly.

•Press the AUTO POSITION button.

•Some computers output out-of-spec signals on rare occasion. Adjust the SIGNAL menu. (See

page 19.)

•Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page

12.)

•Adjust BRIGHTNESS in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)

•Replace the lamp. (See page 24.)

•Adjust the focus. (See page 13.)

•Remove the lens cap.

•Clean the lens.

•Press the $ or % button on the remote control to eliminate flicker.

• Adjust BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu. (See page 18.)

•Adjust the projector and the screen so that they are perpendicular to each other. (See page

12.)

• This phenomenon is improved by keeping projecting an evenly bright image. (Such "image

burn-in" phenomenon where afterimages persist on the screen may occur if a stationary

image is kept displayed on the screen for a long time.)

• This phenomenon is unique to LCD projector and isn't a product malfunction.

(A small number of pixels always stay on or off, which are not malfunctions. More than

99.99% of the pixels are effective.)

•It occurs because of interference with the screen and isn't a product malfunction. Change

the screen or readjust the focus of the projector.

•Connect the cable's plug with the external device's connector firmly.

•Keep the projector away from equipment generating interfering radio waves.

• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly

because of the type of input signal. This isn’t a product malfunction. In this case, readjust

the keystone so that the amount of keystone correction is as small as possible.

•Check that COMPUTER INPUT in the SIGNAL menu is correctly set. (See page 17.)

•Check that the cable connected to the external device isn't broken.

•This is caused by the computer being used. Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

•Match the output resolution of your computer with the resolution of the projector. For the

method to change the output resolution of the computer, contact the manufacturer of your

computer. (See page 32.)

• Some images and texts appear obscured during the keystone adjustment. In such cases, use

the projector without applying the keystone adjustment. (See page 12.)

➔Press the POWER button to turn off the lamp and unplug the power cord from the wall

outlet. Wait about 10 minutes, plug the power cord in, and try again.

• This indication appears when the ambient temperature rises high. When the ambient

temperature stays high, the lamp goes out.

➔Eliminate any causes of the rise in the ambient temperature.

• This indication appears when the air inlet or outlet grille is blocked. When they are kept

blocked, the lamp goes out.

➔Remove the objects blocking the air inlet or outlet grille. Clean the filter. (See page 25.)

•This mark appears when ineffective operation is carried out. This isn't a product malfunc-

tion.

• Check that the battery is loaded in the remote control or the battery isn't weak. (See page

8.)

• Check that the remote control sensor isn't exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent light.

(See page 8.)

•Use the remote control within its operation range. (See page 8.)

•Use the remote control at least 10 cm away from the projector.
