consumes only 0.18W(100-130 V AC)/0.26W (200-240 V AC).

•CarbonMeter

This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO

emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO

MODE] is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO].

The amount of CO

emission reduction will be displayed in the conﬁrmation message at the time of power-off

and in the INFO of the on-screen menu.

Also, from the lower table we can see that about 1.2 m are required from the projector’s lens center to the upper

edge of the screen. Use this to see whether or not enough height can be provided from the projector to the ceiling

and for installing the screen.

Preparation before Use

Connect the projector to a commercially available LAN cable before engaging in browser operations. (→ page 94)

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 depending 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 column 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 registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name cor-

responding 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”, access is gained to the net-

work setting by specifying

http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html

for the address or the entry column of the URL.

Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the network setting by

specifying

http://192.168.73.1/index.html

for the address or the entry column of the URL.

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 preventing

illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).

If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With the implemen-

tation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of

the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Video: Deep Color; 8/10/12-bit, LipSync
