Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is
not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
After you turn off the power with the ?/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything
near these holes, or internal heat build-up
may occur, causing picture degradation or
damage to the projector.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.

Connections and Preparations
Step 1: Installing the Projector
The projector displays pictures output from
a VCR or other device.
The lens shift allows you to have broader
options for placing the projector and
viewing pictures easily.
Unsuitable installation
Do not place the projector in the following
situations, which may cause malfunction
or damage to the projector.
Poorly ventilated location
Leave space of more than 30 cm (11
7
/
8
inches)
around the unit.
Hot and humid
Locations subject to direct cool or
warm air from an air-conditioner
Installing the projector in such a location
may cause a malfunction of the unit due to
moisture condensation or rise in
temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
Malfunction of the sensor may occur.
Very dusty and extremely smoky
locations

Improper use
Do not do any of the following while using
the projector.
Blocking the ventilation holes (intake
or exhaust)
Tip
For details on the location of the ventilation
holes (intake or exhaust), see “Location of
Controls” on page 7.
Tilting front/rear and left/right
Avoid using the projector tilted at an angle
of more than 15 degrees.
Do not install the projector anywhere other
than on a level surface or on the ceiling.
Installing the projector in such a location
may result in uneven color uniformity or
reduce the reliability of the effects of the
lamp.
When installing the unit at high
altitudes
When using the projector at an altitude of
1,500 m or higher, set “Cooling Setting” in the
Setup menu to “High” (1 page 52).
Failing to set this mode when using the
projector at high altitudes could have adverse
effects, such as reducing the reliability of
certain components.
WARNING
When installing the unit, incorporate a readily
accessible disconnect device in the fixed
wiring, or connect the power plug to an easily
accessible socket-outlet near the unit. If a fault
should occur during operation of the unit,
operate the disconnect device to switch the
power supply off, or disconnect the power
plug.

Connections and Preparations
The installation distance between the projector and a screen varies depending on the size
of the screen or whether or not you use the lens shift features.
1 Determine the installation position of the projector and screen.
You can obtain a good quality picture if you position the projector so that the center
of the lens is within the area indicated in gray in the illustration.
Use the values L, x and y in the table on page 14 or 15 as a guide.
* Installation position not using lens shift (x = 0, y = 0)
** Example of installation position using lens shift (x, y)
L: Distance between the screen and the front end of the projector’s lens.
x: Horizontal distance between the center of the screen and the center of the
projector’s lens.
y: Vertical distance between the center of the screen and the center of the projector’s
lens.

Cleaning the
Ventilation Holes
(intake)
Tools you need to get started:
• Projector Lamp LMP-H201 (Optional)
• Standard Phillips screwdriver
• Cloth (for scratch protection)
The lamp used for the light source has a
certain lifespan. When the lamp dims, the
color balance of the picture becomes strange,
or “Please replace the Lamp/Filter.” appears
