Important Information
Fire and Shock Precautions
1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside
your projector. Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall.
2. 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 projector.
Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into
your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified NEC service personnel.
3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.
4. Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.
5. 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 objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can
cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.
6. Do not cover the lens with the supplied 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.
7. The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100--240 V 50/60 Hz AC. Ensure that your power
supply fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
8. Handle the power cable carefully and avoid excessive bending.
A damaged cord can cause electric shock or fire.
9. If the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
10. Do not touch the power plug during a thunderstorm. Doing so can cause electrical shock or fire.
CAUTION
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the left side (when seen from the front) as it can become heated
while the projector is turned on.
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended.
Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hanging on the wall can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the soft carrying case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the soft
carrying case could be damaged. (However, it is possible to use it as a carriercase on board.)
• Enable High-Speed Fan mode if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days. (From the menu,
select [Setup] → [Page 4] → [Fan Mode].)
• Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances.
Doing so can cause damage to the projector:
* While the Hour Glass icon appears.
* While the cooling fans are running. (The cooling fans continue to work for 10 seconds after the projector is
turned off).
5
Lamp Replacement
•To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 107.
• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message “The lamp has reached the end of its usable life.
Please replace the lamp.” appears. 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 NEC dealer for lamp replacement.
• Allow a minimum of 10 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector.
Then turn off the main power switch, disconnect the power cable and allow 60 minutes to cool the projector
before replacing the lamp.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your
projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents
on the side of the projector.
Reflecting the Image
Using a mirror to reflect your projector's image enables
you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC
dealer if you need a mirror. If you're using a mirror and
your image is inverted, use the MENU and SELECT
buttons on your projector cabinet or your remote control
to correct the orientation. See page 86.

2. Installation and Connections
Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the
power to the notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after
connecting with the projector.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power
management software.
* If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 60 seconds and then press the POWER button again to
resume.

Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer
RGB signal cable (supplied)
To mini D-Sub 15-pin connector on the
projector. It is recommended that you
use a commercially available distribu-
tion amplifier if connecting a signal
cable longer than the supplied one.
Audio cable (not supplied)
IBM PC or Compatibles (Desktop type)
or Macintosh (Desktop type)
NOTE: For older Macintosh,
use a commercially available
pin adapter (not supplied) to
connect to your Mac's video
port.
IBM VGA or Compatibles (Notebook
type) or Macintosh (Notebook type)
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your projector will enable you to project your computer's screen image
for an impressive presentation.
To connect to a PC or Macintosh, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2. Use the supplied signal cable to connect your PC or Macintosh to the projector.
3. Connect the supplied power cable. See page 28.
4. Turn on the projector and the computer.
5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer
you've connected to the projector.
NOTE: The COMPUTER 1 connector
supports Plug & Play (DDC2).
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.
24
NOTE: The VT770 is not compatible with video decoded outputs of NEC ISS-6020 and ISS-6010 switchers.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video or S-Video source is played back via a commercially available scan
converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ button on the remote control or the AUTO ADJUST button on
the projector cabinet.
* When noise appears on the sides of the screen:
Use the Overscan feature to display the image correctly.
Be sure to change the Overscan to 0% before pressing the AUTO ADJ or AUTO ADJUST button, otherwise an image may be
displayed with its sides cut off.

Replacing the Lamp and Filters
After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours (up to 3000 hours in Eco mode) or longer, the LAMP indicator in the
cabinet will blink red and the message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it at 2000 (up to
3000 hours in Eco mode) hours to maintain optimal projector performance.
CAUTION
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used.
It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off, wait 10 seconds, turn off the main power switch and then discon-
nect the power cable. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover screw and two lamp case screws. You could receive
an electric shock.
• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 2100 (up to 3100 hours in Eco mode) hours of
service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours (up to
3000 hours in Eco mode) of use, 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 NEC dealer for
lamp replacement.
To replace the lamp:
1. Loosen the lamp cover screw until the screwdriver goes into a free-wheeling condition and remove the
lamp cover. The lamp cover screw is not removable.
8. Maintenance
2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp housing until the screw-driver goes into a freewheeling
condition. The two screws are not removable.
Remove the lamp housing by pulling out the handle.
NOTE: There is an interlock on this case to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Do not attempt to circumvent this interlock.

9. Appendix
If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.
• Power on process for the projector and the PC.
Be sure to connect the RGB cable between the projector and the computer before turning on the computer.
There are some notebook PCs, which do not output signal unless there is a projectors or monitor connected
first.
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under ‘Menu
→
Help
→
Informa-
tion. If it reads “0kHz”, this means there is no signal being output from the computer. See page 100 or go to next step.
• 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 projec-
tor. 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.
• Non-standard signal output from the computer
If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use.
Each notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the
previous step. Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh
When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projec-
tor) according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP
switch on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP
switch to the 13” fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a
displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh again.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub
15-pin connector.
• Mirroring on a PowerBook
* When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 x 768 unless “mirror-
ing” is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
• Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen
Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] ->[Arrange] from the Apple
menu and arrange icons.
