Basic Setup Menu Example  
The procedure below shows how to configure the following three settings:  
z Image Adjustment 1 J Contrast  
z Image Adjustment 1 J Color Mode  
z Input Settings J Signal Name Indicator  
Note  
z The setup menu items that you can change depend on whether or not an image signal is being  
input to the projector, and on the currently selected input source. Perform the procedure  
below after starting projection of an image from an input source.  
z This example covers basic steps only. For more detailed information, see “Setup Menu  
To configure the “Image Adjustment 1 J Contrast” setting  
1. Press the [MENU] key to display the setup menu.  
2. “Image Adjustment 1” is initially selected on the main menu, so simply press the  
[ENTER] key.  
3. Use the [T] key to select “Contrast”.  
4. Use the [W] (lighter) and [X] (darker) keys to adjust contrast.  
 
26  
 
To configure the “Image Adjustment 1 J Color Mode” setting  
5. Use the [T] key to select “Color Mode”.  
6. Press the [ENTER] key.  
z This displays the color mode menu.  
7. Use the [T] and [S] keys to select the color mode you want, and then press the  
[ENTER] key.  
8. After selecting the color mode you want, press the [ESC] key.  
To configure the “Input Settings J Signal Name Indicator” setting  
9. Press the [ESC] key.  
10. Use the [T] key to select “Input Settings”.  
11. Press the [ENTER] key.  
12. Use the [T] key to select “Signal Name Indicator”.  
13. Use the [W] and [X] keys to select “On” or “Off”.  
14. After you are finished, press the [MENU] key to exit the setup menu.  
Direct Power On  
You can configure the projector so it powers up automatically as soon as you plug it into a power  
source. With this “Direct Power On” feature, you do not even need to press the [P] (Power) key. To  
enable Direct Power On, display the setup menu, and then change the “Direct Power On” setting to  
“On”.  
Important!  
When you have Direct Power On enabled, do not leave the projector plugged into an electrical  
outlet while it is turned off. If you do, there is the chance that it (and the light source unit) might  
turn on automatically when power is restored after being cut off by a power outage, tripping of a  
breaker, etc.  
Note  
z Direct Power On causes the projector to turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged into a  
power outlet. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes until you are ready to start  
projecting. Note, however, that the actual startup sequence (Standby State J Power On J  
Projection Starts) that the projector performs is the same, regardless of whether Direct Power  
On is enabled or disabled. The only difference is what triggers the sequence (plugging in or  
pressing the [P] (Power) key).  
z For details about configuring the Direct Power On setting, see “Direct Power On” (page 39)

Password Protecting the Projector  
The password feature lets you keep unauthorized individuals from using the projector. You can specify  
whether password input is required whenever you turn on the projector, and you can specify and  
change the password as required. Use the setup menu “Option Settings 1 J Power On Password”  
setting to configure power on password settings.  
Inputting a Password  
The password of your projector is not really a “word” made up of letters, but rather a sequence of  
remote controller key inputs. The following is the 8-key sequence that represents the initial factory  
default password.  
[INPUT] [AUTO] [BLANK] [FREEZE] [S] [T] [W] [X]  
Using the Password Feature  
Note the following precautions whenever you use the password feature.  
z The password feature protects against unauthorized use of the projector. Note that it is not an  
anti-theft measure.  
z You will need to enter the initial factory default password the first time you use the projector after  
turning on the password feature. Change the initial factory default password to a different one of  
your choice as soon as possible after turning on the password feature.  
z Remember that password operations are always performed using the remote controller, so you  
should take care not to lose or misplace the remote controller.  
z Also note that you will not be able to input the password if the remote controller batteries are dead.  
Replace the remote control batteries as soon as possible after it starts to go low.  
If you forget your password...  
You will not be able to use the projector if you forget the password for some reason. If you forget the  
password, you will need to bring the following two items to your CASIO distributor to have the  
password cleared. Note that you will be charged to have the password cleared.  
1. Personal identification (original or copy of your driver’s license, employee I.D., etc.)  
2. Projector unit  
Note that your CASIO distributor will not be able to clear the password of your projector unless you  
bring both of the items listed above.  
Also, keep the projector’s warranty in a safe place.  
Important!  
Having your password cleared using the procedure described above will return all of the settings  
of your projector, except for the Light Time, to their initial factory defaults.  
 
28  
       
Keep a written record of your password!  
You will not be able to use the projector if you forget its password. We strongly suggest that you keep  
a written or other type of record of the password so you can look it up when necessary.  
To change the password

2. Use the [T] key to select “Option Settings 1”, and then press the [ENTER] key.  
3. Use the [T] key to select “Power On Password”, and then press the [ENTER]  
key.  
z This will display a dialog box prompting you to enter the current password.  
4. Enter the current password.  
z If the projector is still protected by the factory default password, perform the key operation  
shown below to enter it.  
[INPUT] [AUTO] [BLANK] [FREEZE] [S] [T] [W] [X]  
5. After entering the current password, press the [ENTER] key.  
z This displays the Power On Password setting screen.  
6. Use the [T] key to select “Change Password”, and then press the [ENTER] key.

[INPUT], [AUTO], [BLANK], [FREEZE], [VOLUME], [COLOR MODE], [D-ZOOM +], [D-ZOOM –],  
[KEYSTONE +], [KEYSTONE –], [MENU], [POINTER], [O], [f], [Z], [S], [T], [W], [X], [FUNC]  
8. After entering the new password, press the [ENTER] key.  
z This will display a dialog box prompting you to enter the same password again.  
9. Re-enter the same password key sequence you entered in step 7 and then press  
the [ENTER] key.  
z The message “Your new password has been registered.” indicates that the password has  
been changed. Press the [ESC] key.  
z If the password you entered in this step is different from the one you entered in step 7, the  
message “The password you input is wrong.” appears. Press the [ESC] key to return to step 7.  
 
29  
 
To turn password protection on and off  
1. Display the Power On Password setting screen by performing steps 1 through 5  
of the procedure under “To change the password” on page 29.  
z At this time, make sure that “Power On Password” is selected on the Power On Password  
setting screen.  
2. Use the [W] and [X] keys to select “On” or “Off”.  
z Changing the power on password setting from “Off” to “On” causes the confirmation dialog  
box shown below to appear.  
Press the [ENTER] key to confirm that you want to turn on power on password protection, or  
[ESC] to exit the dialog box without doing anything.  
3. After you are finished, press the [MENU] key to exit the setup menu.  
Entering the Password when Turning On the Projector  
When you turn on the projector while password protection is turned on will cause a password input  
dialog box to appear on the projection screen. All projector operations will be accessible to you after  
you input the correct password and press the [ENTER] key.  
Note  
You can perform the projection size adjustment operation ([ZOOM +] / [ZOOM –] keys), focus  
operation ([FOCUS S] / [FOCUS T] keys), and power off operation ([P] (Power) key) while the  
password input dialog box is on the projection screen.

Cleaning the Projector  
Periodically clean the projector exterior, lens, intake vents, and exhaust vents on a regular basis.  
Important!  
Before cleaning the projector, be sure to unplug it from the power outlet and make sure it is  
cooled down completely.  
Cleaning the Projector Exterior  
Wipe the exterior of the projector with a soft cloth that has been moistened in a weak solution of water  
and a mild neutral detergent. Be sure to wring all excess moisture from the cloth before wiping.  
Never use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or any other volatile agent for cleaning.  
Cleaning the Lens  
Carefully wipe the lens with a commercially available lens cloth or optical lens paper, like those for  
eyeglasses or camera lenses. When cleaning the lens, do not apply undue force and take care to avoid  
damaging the lens.  
Cleaning Intake and Exhaust Vents  
Dust and dirt tend to collect around the intake vents. Because of this, you should use a vacuum  
cleaner to clean away accumulated dust and dirt periodically as shown below.  
Important!  
z Continued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents can cause  
overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction.  
z Certain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the  
projector’s exhaust vents. If this happens, use the same procedure as that described above to  
clean the exhaust vents.
