Precautions

• 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. 

After you turn off the power with the 

I

 / 1 (on/

standby) switch, do not disconnect the unit from the 
wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.

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.

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.

the cable itself.

• When you connect your projector to PJ MULTI 

INPUT, select the input signal with the INPUT-A 
setting in the SET SETTING 

 menu. (1 page
