Precautions

On preventing internal heat build-up

Precautions

After you turn off the power with the I /

key on the

Remote Commander or on the control panel, do not

disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the

cooling fan is still running.

On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is

identical with the voltage of your local power

supply.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,

unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be

used for several days.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes

(intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust)

on the front. Do not block or place anything near these

holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing

picture degradation or damage to the projector.

• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never

pull the cord itself.

On cleaning

• The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily

accessible.

• To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean

it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed

with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent

solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner,

benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will

damage the cabinet.

• Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens,

use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth,

detergent solution, or thinner.

• The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,

even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

• Do not aim the laser at people and do not look into

the laser transmitter.

• Do not place your hand or objects near the

ventilation holes — the air coming out is hot.

• Be careful not to catch your fingers with the

adjusters when you lift up the projector. Do not push

hard on the top of the projector with the adjusters

out.

• Clean the filter at regular intervals, every 300 hours.

On repacking

• Be sure to grasp both sides when carrying the

projector.

Save the original shipping carton and packing

material; they will come in handy if you ever have to

ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

On illumination

• To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen

should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use

a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the

contrast ratio.

About the LCD projector

The LCD projector is manufactured using high-

precision technology. You may, however, see tiny

black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green)

that continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is

a normal result of the manufacturing process and does

not indicate a malfunction.

• Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque

draperies.

• It is desirable to install the projector in a room where

floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If

the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is

recommended that the carpet and wall paper be

changed to a dark color.

Features

Easy presentation

Features

• Multi functional Remote Commander with mouse

control functions

You can operate a computer connected to this

projector with the Remote Commander since the unit

has a built-in mouse receiver.

High brightness, high picture quality

• High brightness

Adopting a newly developed optical system and a 200

W UHP lamp allows high brightness (VPL-PX15/

PX10: light output 2000 ANSI lumen, VPL-PS10:

light output 1500 ANSI lumen) and excellent

uniformity on the picture.

• Digital zoom / freeze functions

This projector has a digital zoom function that enables

you to enlarge the image at a desired location on the

screen. The freeze function allows you to freeze the

picture projected. The frozen picture continues to be

projected even if the equipment is disconnected from

the video source.

• High resolution

VPL-PX15/PX10

Three 0.9-inch, approximately 790,000 pixel, XGA

panels provide a resolution of 1024 × 768 dots for

RGB input and 750 horizontal TV lines for video

input.

Accepts various input signals

• Scan converter loaded

This projector has a built-in scan converter that

converts the input signal to 1024 × 768 dots (VPL-

PX15/PX10) or 800 × 600 dots (VPL-PS10).

VPL-PS10

Three 0.9-inch, approximately 480,000 pixel, SVGA

panels provide a resolution of 800 × 600 dots for RGB

input and 600 horizontal TV lines for video input.

• Compatible input signals

This projector accepts composite, S video, and

component video signals as well as 15k RGB, VGA²⁾,

SVGA²⁾, XGA²⁾, and SXGA²⁾signals, which can all be

displayed.

Simple setup

• Simple setup with external equipment

The projector has 37 preset data items for input

signals in memory, which allows you to project a

clear picture on the screen simply by connecting

equipment and pressing the APA (Auto Pixel

Alignment) key.

• Compatible with six color systems

Any of the NTSC^3.58, PAL, SECAM, NTSC4.43³⁾, PAL-

M, or PAL-N color systems can be selected

automatically or manually.

• Compatible with USB (Universal Serial Bus) hub

functions

Other functions

• Networking compatibility (Wireless compatible,

VPL-PX15 only)

The projector has the Microsoft Windows CE

operating system built in and is equipped with a PC

CARD slot and ETHER connector, which allows you

to connect the unit to a wired or wireless LAN.

You can connect USB equipment (e.g., a USB mouse)

to the projector, and also control the projector by

using the “Projector Station” application software

(CD-ROM) supplied with the projector from a

computer operated with Microsoft¹⁾Windows¹⁾98,

Windows 98 SE or Windows 2000. Using this

application software, you can open a file you want to

use for your presentation with the supplied Remote

Commander.

For information on the networking function of this

projector, refer to the Operating Instructions for

Networking supplied with the unit.
