Observe that you read the following safeguards when  
setting up your projector.  
Caution concerning the lamp unit  
Potential hazard of glass  
particles if lamp ruptures.  
In case of lamp rupture,  
contact your nearest EIKI  
Authorized Dealer or  
Service Center for a re-  
placement.  
Warning about placing the projector in  
a high position  
When placing the projector in a high posi-  
tion, ensure that it is secured to avoid per-  
sonal injury caused by the projector falling  
down.  
AH-57201  
Do not subject the projector to hard im-  
pact and/or vibration.  
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 56.  
Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage  
the surface of the lens.  
Caution concerning the setup of the pro-  
jector  
For minimal servicing and to maintain high  
image quality, EIKI recommends that this pro-  
jector be installed in an area free from hu-  
midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the  
projector is subjected to these environments,  
the vents and lens must be cleaned more of-  
ten. As long as the projector is regularly  
cleaned, use in these environments will not  
reduce the overall operation life of the unit.  
Internal cleaning should only be performed  
by an EIKIAuthorized Dealer or Service Cen-  
ter.  
Rest your eyes occasionally.  
Continuously watching the screen for long  
hours will cause eye strain. Be sure to occa-  
sionally rest your eyes.  
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-  
perature.  
The operating temperature of the projector  
is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).  
The storage temperature of the projector is  
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).  
Do not block the exhaust and intake  
vents.  
Do not set up the projector in places ex-  
posed to direct sunlight or bright light.  
Position the screen so that it is not in direct  
sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on  
the screen washes out the colors, making  
viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim  
the lights when setting up the screen in a  
sunny or bright room.  
7
Allow at least 7 /8 inches (20 cm) of space  
between the exhaust vent and the nearest  
wall or obstruction.  
Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust  
vent are not obstructed.  
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-  
tection circuit will automatically put the pro-  
jector into standby mode to prevent overheat  
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-  
tion (See pages 54 and 55.). Remove the pro-  
jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait  
at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where  
the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,  
plug the power cord back in and turn on the  
projector. This will return the projector to the  
normal operating condition.  
The projector may be safely tilted to a  
maximum angle of 12 degrees.  
Placement should be within 12 degrees of  
horizontal.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Caution regarding usage of the projector  
When using the projector, be sure not to sub-  
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this  
can result in damage. Take extra care with the  
lens. If you are not to use the projector for a  
long time, be sure to unplug the power cord  
from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other  
cables connected to it.  
Info  
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-  
perature, and its performance is automati-  
cally controlled. The sound of the fan may  
change during projector operation due to  
changes in the fan speed. This does not  
indicate malfunction.  
Do not unplug the power cord during pro-  
jection or cooling fan operation. This can  
cause damage due to rise in internal tem-  
perature, as the cooling fan also stops.  
Do not use the projector by holding the lens.  
When you are not to use the projector for a long  
time, or storing the projector, re-attach the lens  
cap to the projector (See page 9.).  
Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight  
or place it near heat sources. Doing so may  
affect the cabinet color or cause deformation  
of the plastic cover.  
Other connected equipment  
When connecting a computer or other audio-  
visual equipment to the projector, make the  
connections AFTER unplugging the power  
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and  
turning off the equipment to be connected.  
Please read the owner’s manuals of the pro-  
jector and the equipment to be connected for  
instructions on how to make the connections.  
Using the projector in other countries  
The power supply voltage and the shape of  
the plug may vary depending on the region  
or country you are using the projector in.  
When using the projector overseas, ensure  
to use an appropriate power cord for the  
country you are in.  
Temperature monitor function  
If the projector starts to over-  
heat due to setup problems  
or blockage of the air vents,  
” and “  
” will illumi-  
nate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the  
temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn  
off, the temperature warning indicator on the  
projector will blink, and after a 90-second cool-  
ing-off period the projector will enter the standby  
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on  
page 54 for details.

Inserting the Batteries  
Remote control  
1 Pull down the tab on the cover  
and remove the cover towards  
the direction of the arrow.  
2 Insert the included batteries  
(two “AA” size).  
Insert the batteries making sure the po-  
larities correctly match the  
and  
marks inside the battery compartment.  
3 Insert the lower tab of the cover  
into the opening, and lower the  
cover until it clicks in place.  
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.  
Caution  
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  
and  
marks inside the battery compartment.  
Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.  
Do not mix new and old batteries.  
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.  
Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.  
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure that you first wipe them and then remove them using a  
cloth.  
The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept.  
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.

Setting Up the Projector  
Setting Up the Projector  
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen to achieve an optimal image.  
Note  
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through  
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.  
For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling  
directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights  
when setting up the projector in a sunny or bright room.  
Standard Setup (Front Projection)  
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See  
page 17.)  
Indication of the Projection Image Size and Projection Distance

Info  
If the temperature warning indicator illuminates and the projector enters the standby mode, check whether  
any of the ventilation holes are blocked (page 7) and then try turning the power back on. Wait until the  
projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on.

If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the  
projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red  
and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power  
cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.

Regarding the Lamp  
Lamp  
It is recommended that the lamp (optional: AH-57201) be replaced when the remaining lamp life  
becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality.  
The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 47.  
Purchase a replacement lamp of type AH-57201 from your place of purchase, nearest EIKI Autho-  
rized Dealer or Service Center.  
Caution Concerning the Lamp  
This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp  
failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface  
scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.  
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition  
and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.  
When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended  
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating  
normally.  
Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the  
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes  
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In  
case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.  
Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the  
projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or  
Service Center to assure safe operation.  
Replacing the Lamp  
Caution  
Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn  
or injury.  
Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool  
before removing the lamp unit.  
Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. *If you wish, you  
may have the lamp replaced at your nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or Service Center.  
* If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest EIKI Authorized Dealer or  
Service Center for repair.

Glossary  
Aspect Ratio  
Intelligent compression and expansion  
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-  
tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.  
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal  
aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3.  
There are also wide images with an aspect ratio  
of 16:9 and 21:9.  
Keystone Correction  
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when  
the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out  
jaggies on keystone images and compresses the  
image not only horizontally but vertically keeping  
the 16 : 9 aspect ratio.  
Auto Sync  
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-  
matically adjusting certain characteristics.  
Background  
Initial setting image projected when no signal is  
being output.  
Phase  
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic  
signals with the same resolution. When phase level  
is incorrect, the projected image typically displays  
horizontal flicker.  
Clock  
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise  
when clock level is incorrect.  
CLR Temp (Color temperature)  
Resize  
Function that can be used to adjust the color tem-  
perature to suit the type of image input to the pro-  
jector. Decrease the color temperature to create  
warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones,  
or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a  
brighter picture.  
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-  
play mode to enhance the input image. You can se-  
lect from four different modes: STRETCH, SIDE  
BAR, SMART STRETCH and CINEMA ZOOM.  
RS-232C  
Function to control the projector from the com-  
puter by using the RS-232C ports on the projec-  
tor and computer.  
Composite sync  
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync  
pulses.  
Stretch  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)  
Display digital interface that also supports analog  
interfaces.  
Projects the 16:9 image or the squeezed image (*1)  
fully in a 16:9 screen.  
*1...16:9 image that is squeezed horizontally into  
4:3 image  
Gamma  
Image quality enhancement function that offers a  
richer image by brightening the darker portions  
of the image without altering the brightness of the  
brighter portions. You can select from four differ-  
ent modes: Standard, Cinema 1, Cinema 2 and  
Cinema 3.
