If this happens, contact your dealer for lamp replacement.
A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a high-pressure mercury lamp as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on
and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off
and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
Clearance for Installing the Projector
Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below.
Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed at the projector.
Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens, the temperature inside the
projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature protector to automatically turn off the projectors power.
Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector.
50 cm/19.7" or greater
30 cm/12" or greater
NOTE:
The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, back and top of the projector.

3. Convenient Features
Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE]
is set to [ON]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].
There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON
SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now.You can
The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO2 emission reduction between the time of
changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS-
SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE ?] message at the time of power-off.
TIP:
• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO2 emission reduction.
Amount of CO2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in [OFF] for ECO MODE − Power consumption in [ON] for ECO MODE)
× CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off, the amount of CO2 emission reduction will also increase.
* Calculation for amount of CO2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008
Edition”.
• The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

Selecting Power-saving in [STANDBY MODE]
The projector has three standby modes: [NORMAL], [POWER-SAVING] and [NETWORK STANDBY].
The POWER-SAVING mode is the mode that allows you to put the projector in the power-saving condition which
consumes less power than the NORMAL mode. The projector is preset for NORMAL mode at the factory.
NORMAL�����������������������������Power indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Green light
POWER-SAVING�����������������Power indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off

Important:
• When [CONTROL PANEL LOCK] or [CONTROL ID] is turned on, or when [COMPUTER 1] or [COMPUTER 3] is selected for [AUTO
POWER ON(COMP1/3)], the [STANDBY MODE] setting becomes invalid.
This means that the projector is in the same condition when the [NORMAL] is selected for [STANDBY MODE].
NOTE:
• Even when [POWER-SAVING] is selected for [STANDBY MODE], power on or off can be done by using the PC CONTROL port.
• The power consumption in the standby mode will not be included in calculating CO2 emission reduction.
• Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu.

Turning On the Projector By Applying Computer Signal [AUTO POWER ON(COMP1/3)]
When the projector is in Standby mode, applying a computer signal from a computer connected to the COMPUTER1
IN or COMPUTER3 IN input will power on the projector and simultaneously project the computer’s image.
This functionality eliminates the need to always use the POWER button on the remote control or the projector cabinet
to power on the projector.
To use this function, first connect a computer to the projector and the projector to an active AC input.
NOTE:
• Disconnecting a computer signal from the computer will not power off the projector. We recommend using this function in com-
bination of the AUTO POWER OFF function.
• This function will not be available under the following conditions:
- when a component signal is applied to the COMPUTER1 IN or COMPUTER3 IN connector
- when a Sync on Green RGB signal or composite sync signal is applied
• When [AUTO POWER ON(COMP1/3] is set, the [STANDBY MODE] setting becomes invalid. This means that the projector is in
the same condition when the [NORMAL] is selected for [STANDBY MODE].
• To enable the AUTO POWER ON (COMP1/3) after turning off the projector, wait 3 seconds and input a computer signal.
If a computer signal is still present when the projector is turned off, the AUTO POWER ON (COMP1/3) will not work and the
projector remains in standby mode.
Enabling Power Management [AUTO POWER OFF]
When this option is selected you can enable the projector to automatically turn off (at the selected time: 5min., 10min.,
20min., 30min.) if there is no signal received by any input or if no operation is performed.
NOTE:
• The [AUTO POWER OFF] function will not work when [VIEWER] or [NETWORK] is selected for [SOURCE].

Stacking projectors
The projected image brightness can be doubled by gravity stacking up to two projectors without external support.This
is called “Stacking Projection”.
CAUTION:
A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, causing
personal injury.
NOTE:
• Projectors with different model numbers cannot be gravity stacked.
Optional lenses with the same model numbers must be used for stacking projection.
• The stacking projection does not support accuracy for overlaying two images perfectly so that small text and detailed graphics
can be clearly read or seen.
• Use a commercially available distribution amplifier to both the primary (upper) and the secondary (lower) projectors to distribute
signal to two outputs of the two projectors.
• Notes for stacking
- Ask your service person for setting up and adjusting projectors.
- Set up the projectors in a place or structure in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the two projec-
tors. The single projector with a lens weighs up to approximately 46 kg/ 101 lbs.
- To prevent the projectors from falling, fasten them in a way to withstand earthquakes.
- Double stacking will cause room temperature to increase. Ventilate the room well.
- Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling. Gravity stacking cannot be done on the ceiling.
- Warm up the projectors for one hour before the desired projection is obtained.
- Set up the projectors so that the projected image shows as little geometric distortions as possible. The lens is different in
geometric distortion between wide(+) and tele (−) for zoom.
- Adjust the horizontal lens shift to the lens center.

7. Maintenance
This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to clean the filters, the lens, the cabinet,
and to replace the lamp and the filters.
1 Cleaning the Filters
The air-filter sponge keeps dust and dirt from getting inside the projector and should be frequently cleaned. If the filter
is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
NOTE: The message for filter cleaning will be displayed for one minute after the projector is turned on or off. When the message is
displayed, clean the filters. The time to clean the filters is set to [OFF] at time of shipment. (→ page 118)
To cancel the message, press any button on the projector cabinet or the remote control.
CAUTION
•
Before cleaning the filters, turn off the projector, disconnect the power cord and then allow the cabinet to cool.
Failure to do so can result in electric shock or burn injuries.
Preparation: Before cleaning the filters, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the ventilations (inlet).
Two filters are attached on the left side and the front side. Clean both filters. Both filters have the same shape.
When replacing the filters, buy the optional filter NP03FT in advance.

TIP
• Calculation of the throw distance from the screen size
NP25FL lens throw distance (m) = H × 0.67 : 1.1 m (min.) to 3.2 m (max.)
NP26ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.35 to H × 1.84 : 2.8 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)
NP27ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.84 to H × 2.54 : 4.0 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)
NP28ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 2.62 to H × 4.20 : 9.0 m (min.) to 45.0 m (max.)
NP29ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 4.21 to H × 6.96 : 12.0 m (min.) to 80.0 m (max.)
“H” (Horizontal) refers to the screen width.
* Figures differ by several % with the table above because the calculation is approximate.
Ex.: Throw distance when projecting on a 150" screen using the NP27ZL lens:
The throw distance is 323.1 cm × 1.7 to 323.1 cm × 2.3 = 549.3 cm to 743.13 cm (because of the zoom lens).
• Using the NP28ZL lens will slightly change the image size. When using the NP28ZL lens to adjust the image size, adjust the focus
and then the zoom.

With scaling technology, the size of characters and ruled lines may be uneven and colors may be blurred.
Upon shipment, the projector is set for signals with standard display resolutions and frequencies, but adjustments
may be required depending on the type of computer.

*4 HDMI® (Deep Color)/DisplayPort with HDCP
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 Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI and DisplayPort input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not function-
ing properly. With the implementation 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).
*5 An image with higher or lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution (1920 × 1200) will be displayed with scaling tech-
nology.

•
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. Usu-
ally, 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 projector)
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 × 768 unless “mirroring”
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
