53Installation MethodsThe projector supports the following four different projection methods. Attention• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.• If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on. • Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur. • Project images from in front of the screen. (Front projection)• Project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear projection)• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of the screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)q• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling. sp.64• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds. "Front" W "Front/Ceiling""Rear" W "Rear/Ceiling" sp.35• When set to "Front/Ceiling" or "Rear/Ceiling", you cannot disconnect the power cable immediately because cool down is performed after the power is turned off. sp.35

54CleaningYou should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate. Cleaning the Projector's SurfaceClean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth. If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface. Cleaning the LensUse a commercially available cloth for cleaning classes to gently wipe the lens. Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake VentClean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed."The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter." s"How to replace the air filter" p.59AttentionDo not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discoloured.AttentionDo not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.AttentionIf dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.q• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air filter. sp.59• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment". Component video A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality. Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (colour difference signals). Composite video Video signals that have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household video equipment (NTSC, NTSC4.43, PAL, M-PAL, N-PAL, PAL60, and SECAM formats). Squeeze mode In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording medium as 4:3 images. When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.

Glossary 66Synchronization The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur. Security slot The security slot is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington. You can find details about the Microsaver Security System on the Kensington homepage http://www.kensington.com/.Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called Tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal. Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer. Progressive A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single image. Refresh rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

67List of ESC/VP21 CommandsCommand ListWhen the power ON command is transmitted to the projector, the power turns on and it enters warm-up mode. When the projector's power has turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) is returned. When a command is input, the projector executes the command and returns a ":", and then accepts the next command. If the command being processed terminates abnormally, an error message is output and a ":" is returned. * Add a Carriage Return (CR) code (0Dh) to the end of each command and transmit.Cable LayoutsfUSB connectionConnector shape: USB (Type B)* You cannot use the USB Type A port (EMP-1715/1705 only) as a USB hub.
