About burning-in of the D-ILA device
Do not allow the same still picture to be projected for a
long time or an abnormally bright video image to be pro-
jected.
Do not project video images with high-intensity or high con-
trast on a screen. The video image could be burnt into the
D-ILA device.
Use special care when projecting video games or computer
program images.
There is no problem with ordinary video cassette playback
images.
Viewing conditions
Brightness of the room
Please avoid having sunshine or light shine directly onto the
screen. Images can only be well projected if the room is
dark.
Do not view the screen continually for a long time
Looking at the screen continually for a long time will cause

Please use the projector after removing the lens cap.
The cap may become deformed and this unit may break
down due to heat.
How to use the [SCREEN TRIGGER] terminal cable
It may cause short circuit if the supplied [SCREEN TRIG-
GER] terminal cable is used directly. When using the ca-
ble, connect it to the screen before connecting to this
unit.
The [SCREEN TRIGGER] terminal of this unit outputs a DC
+12 V / max. 100 mA signal. Short circuit will result in dam-
age, fire or electrical shock.
Leave the connection of the screen to the installation
contractor.
It will result in damage, fire or electrical shock.
Care
Dirt in the cabinet
Please wipe the cabinet clean with a soft cloth. In case of
heavy soiling, please wipe it with a damp cloth soaked with
a neutral detergent.
Since the cabinet may in time, get damaged or deterio-
rate in condition, (e.g. peeling paint):
· Do not wipe with a stiff cloth.
· Do not wipe with force.
· Do not wipe with thinner or benzene.
· Do not spray chemicals like insecticide.
· Do not allow it to come into contact with rubber or vinyl
materials for an extended period of time.
Cleaning the lens

· Please do not use liquid-type cleansers as it may cause
the coating mask on the surface to peel off.
· Please do not knock the surface of the lens as it damages
easily.
Using the screen mode switch function
· This projector is equipped with a screen mode switch function that sets the screen size (aspect ratio and resize). If the set
screen aspect ratio and size differs from that of the inputted images (e.g. images from TV programs), the projected image
screen will differ from the original. Please bear this in mind when you choose the screen mode.
· Please keep in mind that making use of the screen mode switch function to alter screen images (aspect ratio and resize) in
restaurants/ hotels etc, for public viewing, in the pursuit of profit may constitute an infringement of the Copyright Act.
