Operating Precautions Operating Precautions

Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can damage the lamp and shorten its life. The light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately 2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears. Lamps are guaranteed for 90 days from the date of purchase or for 500 hours operation, whichever comes first. A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if exposed to loud noise. Note that the performance of the lamp differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and due to conditions under which a lamp is used. The replacement message appears and the LAMP indicator flashes red after the lamp life is reached. When this happens, replace the lamp using the instructions provided in this Users Guide. If the lamp continues to be used after its lamp life is reached, after 100 hours the projector will enter a cool down state and then go into standby. The projector will not turn on again until you replace the lamp.

When the lamp life is reached, the message It is time to replace the lamp. Use the procedure in the Users Guide to replace the lamp as soon as possible. appears on the display for about 10 seconds, and the LAMP indicator starts to flash red in one-second intervals. Replace the lamp as soon as possible after the message appears or the LAMP indicator flashes. Replace the lamp with a special YL-41 replacement lamp, which should be available from your original dealer. Use only the lamp type that is specified for this projector. Turn off the projector. After the POWER/STANDBY indicator changes to steady (not flashing) amber, unplug the projector from the power outlet. Next, wait for at least 60 minutes before removing the lamp. Note that the lamp cartridge becomes very hot during normal use and during standby. Handling it when hot creates the risk of burn injury. The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of old lamps in accordance with the rules and regulations of your local jurisdiction. When replacing the lamp, use the special screwdriver that comes with the YL-41 replacement lamp.

Lamp Handling Precautions

Caution Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of the lamp rupturing. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible after the replacement message appears.

This projector is made of precision components. Failure to observe the following precautions can result in inability to correctly save data and malfunction.

Never use or store the projector in the following locations. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction of and damage to the projector.

Locations subjected to electrostatic charge Locations subjected to temperature extremes Locations where there is extreme moisture Locations subjected to sudden temperature changes Locations where there is a lot of dust On a shaky, slanted, or otherwise unstable surface Locations where there is the danger of getting wet

Avoid using the projector under the following conditions. Such conditions create the risk of malfunction of and damage to the projector.

Avoid areas subject to temperature extremes (operating temperature range is 5C to 35C (41 to 95F)). Never place heavy objects on the projector or climb on top of the projector. Never insert or allow foreign objects to drop into the projector. Never place a vase or any other container of water on top of the projector.

Never leave dead batteries inside the remote controller for a long time. Batteries can leak, which leads to malfunction of and damage to the remote controller.

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. When very dirty, use a soft cloth that has been dampened in a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent. Wring all excess water from the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner, benzene, or any other volatile agent to clean the projector. Doing so can remove its markings and cause staining of the case.

Missing Screen Dots Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available today, some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate malfunction.

Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting. If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be accompanied by an error message. If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not return the projected image to its proper color, use the procedure under To turn off the projector on page E-20 to turn projector power off and then back on again. If the image reappears with an error message, correct the problem in accordance with the indicator explanations in the Troubleshooting guide on page E-30.

Keystone Correction and Image Quality Performing keystone correction causes the image to be compressed before it is projected. This can result distortion of the image or a loss of image quality. If this happens, change orientation of the projector and/or screen so it conforms as much as possible to the illustration under Setting Up the Projector on page E-14. If image quality is the highest priority, turn off auto keystone correction and position the projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.

Before performing any of the operations in this section, make sure you first set up the projector and connect to an output device.

AC Power Cord Precautions Use the AC power cord that comes with the projector. Make sure that you use a power source with the same voltage as that specified for the projector. Do not share the outlet supplying power to the projector with other devices. If you are using an extension cord, make sure that the ampere rating of the extension cord is compatible with the power consumption value of this projector. Never use the power cord while it is still bundled together. Never place objects on top of the power cord and do not step on it. Never pull on the power cord. When unplugging it, grasp the plug. Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the projector. If you need more information about the power supply, contact your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center.

To turn on the projector

1. Use the bundled AC power cord to plug the projector into a power outlet.

Plugging into a power outlet causes the three indicators on the top of the projector to light amber. After a short while, two of the indicators will go out and only the POWER/STANDBY indicator will remain lit amber, which indicates the standby state. Note that the projector will not turn on if you press the [ ] (power) key while all three indicators are lit amber. Wait until the projector is in the standby state before trying to turn it on.

This product is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase-to-phase voltage 230V.

2. Turn on the computer or video device that is connected to the projector.

3. If the projectors lens cover is closed, open it.

4. Press the [ ] (power) key.

This causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to flash green, which indicates that the projector is warming up. After warm up is complete, POWER/STANDBY indicator stops flashing and remains lit green, and the projector starts projecting an image from the device connected to it. It normally takes about 60 seconds from the point that warm up starts until an image is projected from the connected device. A Language window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the procedure under Specifying the Display Message Language on the page E-20 to configure the language settings.

If the projector is configured for low-noise mode operation, the LAMP indicator lights green when warm up starts. Note that low-noise operation is supported by the XJ-560 model only. The XJ-460 does not have a low-noise mode. If the projector is hot when you plug the AC power cord into a power outlet, it will go into a cool down state. The cool down state is indicated by the POWER/STANDBY indicator flashing orange. Note that the projector will not turn on until cool down is complete, even if you press the [ ] (power) key. The projector will turn on and enter the standby state after cool down is complete. The password feature lets you limit use of the projector to specific individuals.

2. To turn off the projector, press the [ ] (power) key again in response to the confirmation message.

This causes the projector lamp to go out and stops projection. Also the POWER/STANDBY indicator starts to flash amber, which indicates that the projector is cooling down. The projector will not turn back on again while it is cooling down. After cool down is finished, the POWER/STANDBY indicator on the top of the projector will light amber, which indicates the standby state. You can now turn the projector back on, if you want.

3. Unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet. This causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to go out.

4. After ensuring that the projector and the connected computer or video device are turned off, disconnect the connecting cables from the projector and the connected device.

5. Close the lens cover.

After confirming that the cool down operation described in step 2 is complete, unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Note that if you unplug the power cord while the cool down operation is in progress, the projectors fan will continue and perform a Direct Power Off. For more information, see Direct Power Off.

Direct Power Off Even if you unplug the projector from a power outlet while the cool down operation is in progress, the projectors fan will continue and perform a Direct Power Off.

The projector may still be hot, especially around its sides and front, after Direct Power Off is complete. Take care when handling the projector after Direct Power Off. Before packing up the projector, it is recommended that you check to make sure that the projector is no longer warm.

Auto Power Off Auto Power Off automatically turns off the projector whenever there is no input signal from the currently selected input source, and no operation is performed on the projector for about 30 minutes. When Auto Power Off is triggered, the projector first enters a cool down state, the same as it does when you press the [ ] (power) key to turn it off.

Projection Operations Projection OperationsFor detailed information about projection operations, see the Users Guide (UsersGuide_English.pdf) on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

Auto Input Source Selection When you turn on the projector, it checks the status of each input source (whether or not the input source is sending a signal) in the sequence shown below. It automatically selects the first input source it finds that is sending an input signal, and projects the applicable image.

Manually Selecting the Input Source The procedure you should use to select the input source depends on whether you are using projector keys or remote controller keys.

To select the input source using projector keys, press the [INPUT] key on the projector to cycle through input sources in the sequence shown below.

To select the input source using remote controller keys, press the [RGB/COMPONENT], [VIDEO], or [S-VIDEO] key on the remote controller to select the input source you want.

The currently selected input source name is shown in the upper right corner of the projection screen.

Zoom and Focus Use the [ZOOM] keys to adjust the image size, and the [FOCUS ]/[FOCUS ] keys to focus the image.

To adjust image size 1. Hold down the [ZOOM +] key to increase the size of the image or the [ZOOM ] key

to decrease it. This causes the zoom indicator, which indicates the current zoom setting, to appear on the image.

2. Release the [ZOOM] key when the image is the size you want. The zoom indicator will disappear from the image automatically if you do not perform any further key operation for a certain amount of time.

To focus the image 1. Hold down [FOCUS ] or [FOCUS ] to adjust the focus.

This causes the focus indicator, which indicates the current focus setting, to appear on the image.

2. When the focus is the way you want, release the [FOCUS] key. The focus indicator will disappear from the image automatically if you do not perform any further key operation for a certain amount of time.

The focus and zoom indicators may not appear under certain conditions (when the startup logo is displayed, when the image and audio are muted, during password input, etc.). Though the indicators do not appear, focus and zoom adjustment can still be performed by pressing the applicable keys.

Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by pressing the [AUTO] key.

You can turn off auto adjustment when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain manual settings. The projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in progress. If an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to adjust items manually.

When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may have different length left and right edges, or top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called, keystoning. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image.

Keystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original (uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close to the configuration shown under Setting Up the Projector on page E-14.

Performing Auto Focus and Auto Keystone Correction Pressing the [AF/AK] key while the AF/AK Mode (initial default) is assigned to it causes both Auto Focus and auto keystone correction to be performed.

The [AF/AK] key can be configured to perform one of the three Auto Focus (AF) and auto keystone correction operations described below. For information about configuring the [AF/ AK] key operation, see Option Settings 2 AF/AK Mode in the Users Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector. AF/AK Mode (initial default): Pressing the [AF/AK] key performs both keystone correction

and Auto Focus. Continuous AF/AK Mode: Pressing the [AF/AK] key projects an alignment chart that

comes in handy when the projection distance is relatively far or when projecting at an angle. With the Continuous AF/AK mode, the projector continually performs Auto Focus as the projector is moved.

AF Mode: Pressing the [AF/AK] key again performs Auto Focus only.

Manual Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE)

1. Press the [KEYSTONE] key. This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.

2. Use the [ ] and [ ] keys to select the keystone correction setting you want to change, and then use the [ ] and [ ] keys to correct for keystoning.

Keystone Correction (AF/AK, KEYSTONE)

Projection Operations

E-24

Auto Focus (AF) At times, the projector may not focus properly when you press the [AF/AK] key. This can be caused by local environmental factors, etc. If this happens, focus the image manually or try performing the AF operation again. If you often need to adjust focus manually, perform the steps under To adjust Auto Focus, below. Note that the allowable distance for Auto Focus is less than that for manual focus.

To adjust Auto Focus

1. Position the projector and screen so they are about 1.5 meters apart, and then press the [ ](power) key to turn on the projector.

Position the projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.

2. Press the [AF/AK] key.

3. Press the [KEYSTONE] key and then use the screen that appears to change the vertical and horizontal keystone correction values to zero.

This step is not necessary if these values are already zero.

4. Use the [FOCUS] keys to adjust focus manually.

5. While the focus indicator is being projected, hold down the [ENTER] key for about five seconds.

After about five seconds, the message Focus operation successful. or Focus operation failed. is projected.

6. If the focus operation fails, repeat the above procedure from step 2.

Auto Keystone Correction Certain operational environments and other factors can make it impossible to achieve sufficient accuracy when performing keystone correction. If an image appears distorted after performing auto keystone correction check the sensors for dirt and clean them if necessary. See the Users Guide (UsersGuide_English.pdf) on the CD- ROM that comes with the projector for more information. If this does not solve the problem, try changing the position of the projector slightly or perform manual keystone correction.

AF/AK at Short Projection Distances Performing the AF/AK (Auto Focus, auto keystone correction) operation when there is sharp angle and when there is only a short distance between the projector and screen can result in the left and right edges of the image to be out of focus. If this happens, reduce the angle or increase the distance between the projector and screen.
