Important Information
v
Fire and Shock Precautions
• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent
the build-up of heat inside your projector (see page ix, x).
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated
while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned
off.
• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling
into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your pro-
jector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your project.
If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the
object removed by qualified service personnel.
• Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical
shock or fire.
• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz.
Ensure that your power supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your
projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could
result.
• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The
light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal ob-
jects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome
such as fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not cover the lens with the black lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on.
Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the
heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector
lens or a projector exhaust vent. Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting
your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the light output and exhaust.
• Handle the power cable carefully. A damaged or frayed power cable can cause elec-
tric shock or fire.
Do not use any power cables other than the one supplied by NEC.
Do not bend or tug the power cable excessively.
Do not place the power cable under the projector, or any heavy object.
Do not cover the power cable with other soft materials such as rugs.
Do not heat the power cable
Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
Important Information
vi
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cable and have the projector serviced by
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
When the power cable or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or
water.
If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions
described in this user's manual.
If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for
service.
• Disconnect the power cable and any other cables before carrying the projector.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable if the projector is not to be used for
an extended period of time.
• When using a LAN cable:
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might
have excessive voltage.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable before cleaning the cabinet or re-
placing the lamp.
CAUTION:
• Always carry your projector by using the carrying handle.
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses
such as using the tilt foot to carry or hang (from the wall or ceiling) the projec-
tor can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo
shipment. The projector inside the soft case could be damaged.
• Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet or projector when the pro-
jector is powered on. Doing so can cause damage to the AC IN connector of
the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cable.
• To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a
power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.
• The projector can be unplugged during its cool down period after it is turned
off.
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear as it can become heated
while the projector is turned on and immediately after the projector is turned
off.
• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and
while the POWER indicator is blinking green. Doing so could cause premature
lamp failure.
• Do not place your hands near the lens opening while shifting the lens. Shifting
the lens could pinch your fingers or hands causing injury.
Important Information
vii
Remote Control Precautions
• Handle the remote control carefully.
• If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
• Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
• If you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries.
• Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
•
Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries together.
• Dispose of used batteries according to your local regulations.
Lamp Replacement
To replace either of the lamps, follow all instructions provided on page 112.
Be sure to replace the lamp when the following is displayed on the screen:
If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the
lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not
touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury.
If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
Important Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A characteristic of mercury lamps is that brightness gradually decreases with age. Also
repeatedly turning the lamp on and off will increase the possibility of reduced brightness.
CAUTION:
When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no
one is under the projector. Glass fragments could fall if the lamp has been
burned out.
CAUTION:
In rare cases the lamp bulb may burn out during normal operation and cause
glass dust or shards to be discharged outward from the rear exhaust vent.
Do not inhale or do not touch glass dust or shards. Doing so could result in
injury.
Important Information
viii
[Important 1] Operating the Lamp Continuously
If using the projector continuously for a long period, use of the menu (OSD) is recom-
mended in order to properly cycle the lamps as described below.
To use the projector continuously in the dual lamp mode
Allow 2 hours per day of non usage time per lamp. Do this for both lamps at the same
time or for “Lamp 1” and “Lamp 2” at separate 2 hour intervals.
To use the projector continuously in single lamp mode
Use the two lamps (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) alternately in a cycle of 24 hours or less.
Allow 2 hours or longer per day of no-use time for each lamp.
Contact your dealer for more details.
Note:
If using the menu, select "Off" for "Lamp Interval" from the on-screen menu
(see page 82).
Important Information
ix
[Important 2] Clearance for Installing the Projector
Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below.
Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed
at the projector.
Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens,
the temperature inside the projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature pro-
tector to automatically turn off the projectors power.
Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector.
Note:
The drawing shows the
proper clearance required
for the front, back and top of
the projector.
Example 2 – If there is a wall behind the projector.
(1) For floor installation:
Note:
The drawing shows the
proper clearance required
for the back, sides and top
of the projector.
(2) For ceiling mounting:
Note:
1. The drawing shows the
proper clearance required
for the front, sides, back and
bottom of the projector.
2. If suspending the projec-
tor 30 cm/12 inches away
from the ceiling, allow ample
clearance for all four sides
and the under the projector.
Important Information
x
(3) Upward or downward projection:
When using the projector in an upward projection angle, allow 1 m/ 40 inches or
greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.
When using the projector in a downward projection angle, allow 0.5 m/ 20 inches or
greater between the exhaust vent and the wall.

1. Introduction
13
Important:
1. Avoid using the projector with bright fluorescent lighting turned on. Certain high-
frequency fluorescent lights can disrupt remote control operation.
2. Be sure nothing obstructs the path between the remote control and the projec-
tor. If the path between remote and projector is obstructed, you can bounce the
remote signal off certain reflective surfaces such as projector screens.
3. The buttons and keys on the projector have the same functions as the corre-
sponding buttons on the remote control. This user’s manual describes the
functions based on the remote control.
Note:
*To turn off the projector, press the Power OFF button twice.
**To turn on the projector, press and hold the Power On button for a minimum of
two seconds.

Battery Installation
The Remote Control unit included with the projector does not contain batteries, though
batteries are supplied as part of the complete package. To insert (or replace) the batter-
ies, refer to the following guide.
1.
Remove the battery compartment
cover by squeezing the locking
catch (A) and sliding the cover in
the direction of the arrow (B).
2.
Insert the supplied batteries tak-
ing note of the polarity (+/-) as

place (B).
1. Introduction
15
Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control
The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of about 22 feet (7m) and
within a 60-degree angle of the remote sensor on the projector cabinet.
The projector will not respond if there are objects between the remote control and the
sensor, or if strong light falls on the sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the remote
control from properly operating the projector.
Remote Control Precautions
The following precautions ensure that the remote operates correctly and safely.
Handle the remote control carefully.
If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
Do not heat, take apart, or throw batteries into fire.
For extended periods of inactivity, remove the batteries.
Ensure that the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
Do not use new and old batteries together, or different types of batteries to-
gether.
Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
1. Introduction
16
Using the Remote Control in Wired Operation
Connect the supplied remote cable to the REMOTE2 jack on the projector (see Ter-
minal Panel Features on page 10) an
d the other end to the remote jack on the remote
control (see item 1, Part Names of the Remote Control on page 12).
Note:
Connecting the remote cable to the REMOTE2 jack on the terminal panel will
make the wireless operation unavailable.

2. Installation and Connections
Setting Up the Screen and the Projector
This section briefly describes how to set up your projector and how to connect video and
audio sources.
Your projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:
• Set up a screen and the projector.
• Connect your computer or video equipment to the projector.
See Making Connections on pages 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35.
• Connect the supplied power cable.
See Connecting the Supplied Power Cable on page 37.
Note:
Ensure that the power cable and any other cables are disconnected before mov-
ing the projector. When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the
lens with the lens cap.
2. Installation and Connections

CAUTION
Ceiling installation must be done by a qualified professional. Contact your
NEC dealer for more information.
It is not recommended you install the projector yourself.
Only use the projector on a solid, level surface. Serious injury and dam-
age can occur if the projector falls to the ground.
Do not use the projector in an environment where extreme temperature
occurs. The projector must be used at temperatures between 41 degrees
Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees
Celsius).
Screen damage will occur if the projector is exposed to moisture, dust or
smoke.

Replacing Color Wheel
The NP4100/NP4100W projector comes with a four-segment color wheel installed. An addi-
tional six-segment color wheel comes included. To replace the color wheel (located under the
lamp cover adjacent to lamp 1) refer to the following guide.
Note:
• Before replacing the color wheel, be sure to turn off the projector, wait until the
cooling fans stop, and turn off the main power switch.
• Wait until the lamp house and the color wheel cool off.
• Do not touch the disk of the color wheel. Doing so may scratch the disk or leave
fingerprints, causing the image quality to degrade.
• Heed the following information if you own two or more NP4100/NP4100W pro-
jectors:
When replacing or re-installing the color wheel, the original color wheel pre-
installed or supplied as an accessory must go back to its original projector. Your
color wheel and projector color wheel cover are given an identification number. Be
sure to use the color wheel pre-installed or supplied with your projector to match
its identification number.
If you remove a color wheel from one NP4100/NP4100W projector and re-install it
into another NP4100/NP4100W projector, performance may be compromised.
• Be sure turn off the main power switch before replacing the color wheel. Failure
to do so may result in electrical shock or damage to the projector, and cause an ir-
regular color of the projected image.

Making Connections
Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs
a signal to the projector. When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function
keys will enable/disable the external display. Usually, the combination of the Fn-key
along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For
example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to
toggle through external display selections.
To connect a PC or Macintosh computer to the projector, refer to the following guide.
1. Connect a computer to the projector through one of the three available input data
connections before turning on the PC or the projector. The best signal order
(from best to least suitable) is as follows:
Computer 3 (DVI-D connector with HDCP) in as shown below (see item 1,
Terminal Panel Features on page 10) is a digital signal and offers the best
connection to your computer.
Note:
The DVI (DIGITAL) connector (COMPUTER 3) accepts VGA
(640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), SXGA
(1280x1024), and SXGA+(1400x1050) on the NP4100.
The DVI (DIGITAL) connector (COMPUTER 3) accepts VGA
(640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768), WXGA
(1280x800), SXGA (1280x1024), and WXGA+(1440x900@ up to
75Hz) on the NP4100W.
What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for pre-
venting illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface
(DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the DVI input, this does not nec-
essarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With the
implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content
is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the deci-
sion/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection,
LLC).
Computer 2 in (see item 17, Terminal Panel Features on page 10) is an
analog signal; use a DSUB-15 cable-to-5BNC connection.
Computer 1 in (see item 18, Terminal Panel Features on page 10) an
analog signal that uses a standard RGB computer cable.

Common Problems and Solutions
These guidelines provide tips to deal with problems you may encounter while using the
projector. If the problem remains unsolved, contact your dealer for assistance.
Often the problem is something as simple as a loose connection. Check the following
before proceeding to the problem-specific solutions.
• Use some other electrical device to confirm that the electrical outlet is working.
• Ensure the projector is turned on.
• Ensure all connections are securely attached.
• Ensure the attached device is turned on.
• Ensure a connected PC is not in suspend mode.
• Ensure a connected notebook computer is configured for an external display.
(This is usually done by pressing an Fn-key combination on the notebook.)
Tips for Troubleshooting
In each problem-specific section, try the steps in the order suggested. This may help you
to solve the problem more quickly.
Try to pinpoint the problem to avoid replacing non-defective parts.
For example, if you replace batteries and the problem remains, put the original batteries
back and go to the next step.
Keep a record of the steps you take when troubleshooting: The information may be use-
ful when calling for technical support or for passing on to service personnel.

To use this feature, you must turn on the Screen Trigger function. See Screen
Trigger on page 96 for more information.
Note:
Screen controllers are supplied and supported by screen manufacturers.
Note:
Do not use this jack for anything other than intended use. Connecting the wired
remote control to the SC. TRIGGER Mini Jack causes damage to the remote con-
trol.

Operation Using HTTP Browser
Overview
The use of HTTP server functions will allow control of the projector from a web browser
without the installation of special software. Please be sure to use “Microsoft Internet Ex-
plorer 4.x” or a higher version for the web browser. (This device uses “JavaScript” and
“Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method
will vary depending on the version of browser. Please refer to the help files and the other
information provided in your software).
Access is gained to the HTTP server functions by specifying the following address in the
entry column of the URL:
http:// <the projector’s IP address> /index.html
http:// <the projector's IP address> /lanconf.html
Note:
The display or button responses can be slowed down or operation may not be ac-
cepted depending the settings of your network. Should this happen, consult your
network administrator. The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly
pressed in rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you
still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projector.
Preparation Before Use
Make network connections, set up the projector and confirm that it is complete before
engaging in browser operations (see Network Settings on page
93 for more information).
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on
the type of proxy server and the setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be
a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set will not be displayed de-
pending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may
not be reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it
is unavoidable.
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL col-
umn when operation of the projector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is
when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been regis-
tered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name
corresponding to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the
computer being used.
Example 1:
When the host name of the projector has been set to pj.nec.co.jp,
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html is specified for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2:
8. Specifications
135
When the IP address of the projector is 192.168.73.1, access is gained to the HTTP
server functions by specifying http://192.168.73.1/index.html for the address or the en-
try column of the URL.
