•

Never put battery in mouth for any reason as it can easily be accidentally swallowed. If battery is accidentally swallowed,
contact your physician or your poison control center.

Choosing a location
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.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of the possible installation locations:
1.

Front Table

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This
is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

Rear Table

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector Position menu after
you turn the projector on.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in
the projected image size.
4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image,
the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a
proportionally smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.

4:3 aspect image in a 4:3
aspect display area

16:9 aspect image scaled to
a 4:3 aspect display area

Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image displayed by this projector. This
will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3
projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3 projection
display area.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular
(90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center 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).
Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the
projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen
positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the
screen).
You can see from the diagram on page 13, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to
be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector.
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset
also increases proportionately.
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size
and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection distance.
Mitsubishi has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your
projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen
(projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

EN-11

ENGLISH

Positioning your projector

How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size
1.
2.

3.
4.

Select your screen size.
Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labeled "Screen". Using this
value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the
column labeled "Distance from the screen". This is the projection distance.
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Hd" value. This will determine the final
vertical offset placement of the projector in relation to the edge of the screen.
The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the horizontal center of the screen, at the
distance from the screen determined in step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.

For example, if you are using a 100-inch screen, distance from the screen is 3.8 m and with a vertical offset of 19 cm
at Zoom position wide.
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the
image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the
distortion. See "Correcting keystone" on page 22 for details.

How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance
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.
2.

3.
4.

Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection
distance.
Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the distance from the screen column. If the
min and max values are available on the table, check that your measured distance is between the min and max
distances listed on either side of the average distance value.
Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding "Screen". That is the projected image
size of the projector at that projection distance.
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Hd" value. This will determine the final
placement of the screen in relation to the horizontal plane of the projector.

For example, if your measured projection distance was 4.0 m, the closest match in the "Distance from the screen"
column is from 3.8m to 4.2m. Looking across this row shows that a 100-inch screen is required.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. Mitsubishi recommends that if you intend to
permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in suit
before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connection
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1.
2.
3.

Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
Use the correct signal cables for each source.
Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector. They are commercially available from
electronics stores.

Connecting a computer
The projector provides a VGA input socket that allows you to connect it to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh®
computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.

To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-SUB/COMP. IN signal input socket on the projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
Notebook or desktop computer

VGA cable
Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or
CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol
on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your
notebook's key combination.

Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:
•
Component Video
•
S-Video
•
Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods,
however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the
availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital
TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your
connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.
See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 15 for how to connect the projector to a component
video device.

Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both
composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video
option.
See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 15 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device.

Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your
projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.
See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 16 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video
device.
EN-14

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available:
•
•

If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:
1.

Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the
Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the
sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.
2. Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to
the D-SUB/COMP. IN socket on the projector.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:

Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector's native resolution
in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is
neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of the screen without
altering the image's aspect ratio.

16:10 picture

15:9 picture

Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit
within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the
projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could
adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase
the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after
making these adjustments.

4:3 picture

16:9 picture

4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a
4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer
monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays
them without aspect alteration.
16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with
a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a
16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them without aspect
alteration.

3D Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or
lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters,
should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more
accurate color reproduction, should you require it.
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need
to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction.
These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with
suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can
independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.
If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color
presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D
Color Management menu to make adjustments.

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.
If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the
lens surface.

Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.

Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in "Shutting down
the projector" on page 29 and unplug the power cord.
•
•

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then wipe the case.

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below:
•
•
•

Maintenance

Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in 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
= 1 (hours used in Low mode) + 3/2 (hours used in Standard mode)
See "Setting Lamp mode as Low" below for more information on Low mode.

The lamp hour in Low mode is calculated as 2/3 of that in Standard mode. That is, using the projector in Low mode
helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/2.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.
3. You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.
You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.

Extending lamp life
The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 2000-3000 hours with proper usage. To keep
the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

Setting Lamp mode as Low
Using Low mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the Low mode is selected, the light output
will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Low mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Low mode, go into the SYSTEM
SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp mode menu and press / .

Setting Auto Power Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected after a set period of time to
prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off menu and press / . The time
period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your
presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.

EN-36

When the lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install a
new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the
lamp may explode.
The LAMP indicator light and TEMPerature indicator light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the power off and let the
projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or LAMP indicator light still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact
your dealer. See "Indicators" on page 40 for details.

The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
Status
The lamp has been in operation for 2000 hours. Install a new lamp for
optimal performance. If the projector is normally run with Low selected
(See "Setting Lamp mode as Low" on page 36), you may continue to operate
the projector until the 2950 hour lamp warning appears.
