Positioning your projector

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:

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.

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).

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.

2. 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.

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

1. Select your screen size.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection

distance.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

EN-13

ENGLISH

Layout of the projector

Image size varies depending on the distance between the screen and the projector.

Front projection

(Standard)

(16:9)

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. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.

2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.

3. 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:

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.

Connecting a Component Video source device

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:

If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected,

check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected

correctly.

Connecting an S-Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket 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 an S-Video source device:

1. Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video source device.

2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector.

The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been

selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have

been connected correctly.

• If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this S-Video source device, you need

not connect to this device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer

picture quality. See "Connecting Video source devices" on page 14 for details.

Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio,

which is the default for this projector, and digital TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and

scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input signal.

To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):

1. Press MENU and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is highlighted.

2. Press to highlight Aspect Ratio.

3. Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. OSD menus can be

displayed on those unused black areas.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

To adjust the settings:

1. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

2. Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.

3. Highlight Primary Color and press / to select a color from among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, or

Yellow.

4. Press to highlight Hue and press / to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted

of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.

Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each

other.

For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red in the

projected picture will be selected. Increasing its range will include red close

to yellow and red close to magenta.

5. Press to highlight Saturation and adjust its values to your preference

by pressing / . Every adjustment made will reflect to the image

immediately.

For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of

pure red will be affected.

6. Press to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by

pressing / . The contrast level of the primary color you select will be

affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.

Maintenance

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:

• Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for the projector.

Please refer to "Specifications" on page 42 or consult your dealer about the range.

• Retract the adjuster feet.

• Remove the battery from the remote control.

• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

EN-36

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-37

ENGLISH

Timing of replacing the lamp

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 Message

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.

The lamp has been in operation for 2950 hours. A new lamp should be fitted

to avoid the inconvenience when the projector runs out of lamp time.

The lamp has been in operation for 3000 hours.

It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this age. The lamp is

a consumable item. The lamp brightness diminishes with use. This is normal

lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp whenever you notice that the

brightness level has significantly diminished. If the lamp is not replaced

beforehand, it must be replaced after 3000 hours usage.

The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate normally.
