item in the SERVICE menu of the OPTION menu (69) .
• The remote control signal reflected in the screen or the like may be available.
If it is difficult to send the signal to the sensor directly, attempt to make the

• The remote control uses infrared light to send signals to the projector (Class 1
LED), so be sure to use the remote control in an area free from obstacles that
could block the remote control’s signal to the projector.
• The remote control may not work correctly if strong light (such as direct
sun light) or light from an extremely close range (such as from an inverter
fluorescent lamp) shines on the remote sensor of the projector. Adjust the
position of projector avoiding those lights.

rotation setting: “rot1” means a rotation at 90 degrees clockwise; “rot2” and
“rot3” increase another 90 degrees in order.
skip setting: “SKIP” means that the image will not be displayed in the
Slideshow.
NOTE • The maximum length in a line on the "playlist.txt" file is 255 characters
including linefeed. If any line exceeds the limit, the "playlist.txt" file becomes
invalid.
• Up to 999 files can be registered to the Playlist. However, if some folders exist
in the same directory the limit number is decreased by the number of folders.
Any files over the limit will not be shown in the Slideshow.

Replacing the lamp
A lamp has finite product life. Using the lamp for long periods of time could cause the
pictures darker or the color tone poor. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and
some may burst or burn out soon after you start using them.
Preparation of a new lamp and early replacement are recommended. To prepare a
new lamp, make contact with your dealer and tell the lamp type number.
Type number <8970, 8972W, 8974WU>: 456-8970
Type number <8971, 8973W, 8975WU, 8976SX>: 456-8971

Lamp warning
HIGH TEMPERATURE
HIGH PRESSURE

WARNING ►The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp
can break with a loud bang, or burn out, if jolted or scratched, handled while hot, or
worn over time. Note that each lamp has a different lifetime, and some may burst or
burn out soon after you start using them. In addition, if the bulb bursts, it is possible
for shards of glass to fly into the lamp housing, and for gas containing mercury and
dust containing fine particles of glass to escape from the projector’s vent holes.
►About disposal of a lamp: This product contains a mercury lamp; do not put
it in a trash. Dispose of it in accordance with environmental laws.
• For lamp recycling, go to www.lamprecycle.org (in the US).
• For product disposal, consult your local government agency
or www.eiae.org (in the US) or www.epsc.ca (in Canada).
For more information, call your dealer.
• If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does),
unplug the power cord from the outlet, and make sure to request a
replacement lamp from your local dealer. Note that shards of glass
could damage the projector’s internals, or cause injury during handling,
so please do not try to clean the projector or replace the lamp yourself.
•
If the lamp should break (it will make a loud bang when it does), ventilate the

room well, and make sure not to inhale the gas or fine particles that come out
from the projector's vent holes, and not to get them into your eyes or mouth.
• Before replacing the lamp, turn the projector off and unplug the power
cord, then wait at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool sufficiently.
Handling the lamp while hot can cause burns, as well as damaging the lamp.
outlet
• Never unscrew except the appointed (marked by an arrow) screws.
• Do not open the lamp cover while the projector is suspended from
a ceiling. This is dangerous, since if the lamp’s bulb has broken, the
shards will fall out when the cover is opened. In addition, working in
high places is dangerous, so ask your local dealer to have the lamp
replaced even if the bulb is not broken.
• Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed. At the lamp
replacing, make sure that the screws are screwed in firmly. Loose
screws could result in damage or injury.
• Use only the lamp of the specified type. Use of a lamp that does not
meet the lamp specifications for this model could cause a fire, damage or
shorten the life of this product.
• If the lamp breaks soon after the first time it is used, it is possible
that there are electrical problems elsewhere besides the lamp. If this
happens, consult your local dealer or a service representative.
•
•
Handle with care: jolting or scratching could cause the lamp bulb to burst during use.
Using the lamp for long periods of time, could cause it dark, not to light up or to burst.
When the pictures appear dark, or when the color tone is poor, please replace the
lamp as soon as possible. Do not use old (used) lamps; this is a cause of breakage.
