• Do not cover the lens with the lens cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of
the cap due to the heat emitted from the light output.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of the projector lens. Doing so could lead
to the object melting from the heat that is emitted from the light output.
Orientation and Fan Mode

• Do not tilt the projector to the left or right. Doing so may result in malfunction. There is no limit on the tilt angle
upward or downward. Select the appropriate option for [FAN MODE] according to the installation angle.
Tilting the front of the projector up or down by more than 10° from level could reduce lamp life by up to 20%.
• When changing the projector orientation or installation angle, also change the [SETTING] option of [FAN MODE]
accordingly. Failure to do so may cause product malfunction. (→ page 123, 124, 129)
ii
Fire and Shock Precautions

• Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your
projector. Allow minimum spaces between your projector and a wall. (→ page v and vi)
• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlet on the rear side of the cabinet as it can become heated while the projector is
turned on and immediately after the projector is turned off. Parts of the projector may become temporarily heated if
the projector is turned off with the POWER button or if the AC power supply is disconnected during normal projector
operation.
Use caution when picking up the projector.

• Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve
any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your
projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a

• The projector is designed to operate on a power supply of 100-240V AC 50/60 Hz. Ensure that your power supply
fits this requirement before attempting to use your projector.
• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

• Keep any items (magnifying glass etc.) out of the light path of the projector. The light path being projected from the
lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause
an unpredictable outcome such as a fire or injury to the eyes.
• Do not place any objects, which are easily affected by heat, in front of a projector exhaust vent.
Doing so could lead to the object melting or getting your hands burned from the heat that is emitted from the ex-
haust.
• Handle the power cord carefully. A damaged or frayed power cord can cause electric shock or fire.
- Do not use any power cord other than the one specified by the manufacturer.
- Do not bend or tug the power cord excessively.
- Do not place the power cord under the projector, or any heavy object.
- Do not cover the power cord with other soft materials such as rugs.
- Do not heat the power cord.
- Do not handle the power plug with wet hands.
• Turn off the projector, unplug the power cord and have the projector serviced by a qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
- If liquid has been spilled into the projector, or if it has been exposed to rain or water.
- If the projector does not operate normally when you follow the instructions described in this user’s manual.
- If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
- If the projector exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
• Disconnect the power cord and any other cables before carrying the projector.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before cleaning the cabinet or replacing the lamp.
• Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord if the projector is not to be used for an extended period of time.
• When using a LAN cable:
For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive voltage.
iii
CAUTION
• A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, caus-
ing personal injury.
• Keep hands away from the lens mounting portion while the lens shift is in operation.
Failure to do so could result in hands being pinched by the moving lens.
• Do not use the tilt-foot for purposes other than originally intended. Misuses such as gripping the tilt-foot or hang-
ing on the wall can cause damage to the projector.
• Do not send the projector in the soft case by parcel delivery service or cargo shipment. The projector inside the
soft case could be damaged.
• Set [LAMP SELECT] and [LAMP INTERVAL MODE] if you continue to use the projector for consecutive days.
(From the menu, select [LAMP MODE] → [LAMP SELECT] and [LAMP INTERVAL MODE].)
• Before using Direct Power Off, be sure to allow at least 20 minutes immediately after turning on the projector and
starting to display an image.
• Do not unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or projector when the projector is powered on. Doing so can
cause damage to the AC IN connector of the projector and (or) the prong plug of the power cord.
To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use the projector's main power switch or a
power strip equipped with a switch and a breaker.
• Do not turn off the AC power for 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blink-
ing blue. Doing so could cause premature lamp failure.
• Use of a wall outlet with a 20 A or more circuit breaker is recommended.

A Lamp Characteristic
The projector has a discharge lamp for special purposes as a light source.
A lamp has a characteristic that its brightness gradually decreases with age. Also repeatedly turning the lamp on
and off will increase the possibility of its lower brightness.
CAUTION:
• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Turn the projector off
and then disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.
• When removing the lamp from a ceiling-mounted projector, make sure that no one is under the projector. Glass
fragments could fall if the lamp has been burned out.
Clearance for Installing the Projector

Allow ample clearance between the projector and its surroundings as shown below.
Avoid installing the projector in a place where air movement from the HVAC is directed at the projector.
Heated air from the HVAC can be taken in by the projector's intake vent. If this happens, the temperature inside the
projector will rise too high causing the over-temperature protector to automatically turn off the projectors power.
Example 1 – If there are walls on both sides of the projector.
50 cm/19.7" or greater 30 cm/12" or greater
NOTE:
The drawing shows the proper clearance required for the front, back and top of the projector.
v
Example 2 – If there is a wall behind the projector.
(1) For floor installation:

❻ Changing Eco Mode/Checking Energy-Saving Effect Using

Eco Mode [ECO MODE]
This feature enables you to select two brightness modes of the lamp:
OFF and ON modes. The lamp life can be extended by turning on the [ECO MODE].
[ECO MODE] Description
[OFF] This is the default setting (100% Brightness).
[ON] Low lamp power consumption (approx. 75% Brightness).
To turn on the [ECO MODE], do the following:

1. Press the ECO/L-SHIFT button on the remote control to display [ECO MODE] screen.
2. Use the ▲ or ▼ button to select [ON].
3. Press the ENTER button.
To change from [ON] to [OFF], Go back to Step 2 and select [OFF]. Repeat Step 3.
NOTE:
• The [ECO MODE] can be changed by using the menu.
Select [SETUP] → [BASIC] → [LAMP MODE] → [ECO MODE].
• The lamp life remaining and lamp hours used can be checked in [USAGE TIME]. Select [INFO.] → [USAGE TIME].
• [ECO MODE] is always set to [OFF] immediately after the lamp is turned on. The lamp condition will not be affected even when
[ECO MODE] is changed.
• After a lapse of 1 minute from when the projector displays a blue, black or logo screen, [ECO MODE] will automatically switch to
[ON].
• If the projector is overheated in [OFF] mode, there may be a case where the [ECO MODE] automatically changes to [ON] mode
to protect the projector. This is called “Forced ECO Mode”. When the projector is in the Forced Eco Mode, the picture brightness
decreases slightly and the TEMP. indicator lights orange. At the same time the Thermometer symbol [ ] is displayed at the bot-
tom right of the screen.
When the projector comes back to normal temperature, the Forced Eco Mode is cancelled and the [ECO MODE] returns to [OFF]
mode.
38
Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE]
is set to [ON]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].
There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON
SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can
check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 134)
The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO2 emission reduction between the time of
changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS-
SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE ?] message at the time of power-off.
TIP:
• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO2 emission reduction.
Amount of CO2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in [OFF] for ECO MODE − Power consumption in [ON] for ECO MODE)
× CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off, the amount of CO2 emission reduction will also increase.
* Calculation for amount of CO2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008
Edition”.
• The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

⓬ Controlling the Projector by Using an HTTP Browser

Overview
The HTTP Server function provides settings and operations for:
1. Setting for wired/wireless network (NETWORK SETTINGS)
To use wireless LAN connection, the optional USB Wireless LAN Unit is required. (→ page 174)
To use wired/wireless LAN connection, connect the projector to the computer with a commercially available LAN
cable. (→ page 173)
2. Setting Alert Mail (ALERT MAIL)
When the projector is connected to a wired/wireless network, lamp replace time or error messages will be sent via
e-mail.
3. Operating the projector
Power on/off, selecting input, and picture adjustments are possible.
4. Setting PJLink PASSWORD and AMX BEACON
Access to the HTTP server function:

• Start the Web browser on the computer via the network connected to the projector and enter the following
URL :
http://<the projector’s IP address> /index.html
TIP: The factory setting IP address is [DHCP ON].
NOTE:
• To use the projector in a network, consult with your network administrator about network settings.
• The display’s or button’s response can be slowed down or operation may not be accepted depending the settings of your net-
work.
Should this happen, consult your network administrator. The projector may not respond if its buttons are repeatedly pressed in
rapid intervals. Should this happen, wait a moment and repeat. If you still can’t get any response, turn off and back on the projec-
tor.
• If the PROJECTOR NETWORK SETTINGS screen does not appear in the web browser, press the Ctrl+F5 keys to refresh your web
browser (or clear the cache).
• This device uses “JavaScript” and “Cookies” and the browser should be set to accept these functions. The setting method will

Preparation before Use

Connect the projector to a commercially available LAN cable before engaging in browser operations. (→ page 173)
Operation with a browser that uses a proxy server may not be possible depending on the type of proxy server and the
setting method. Although the type of proxy server will be a factor, it is possible that items that have actually been set
will not be displayed depending on the effectiveness of the cache, and the contents set from the browser may not be
reflected in operation. It is recommended that a proxy server not be used unless it is unavoidable.
57
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding the actual address that is entered for the address or entered to the URL column when operation of the pro-
jector is via a browser, the host name can be used as it is when the host name corresponding to the IP address of the
projector has been registered to the domain name server by a network administrator, or the host name corresponding
to the IP address of the projector has been set in the “HOSTS” file of the computer being used.
Example 1: When the host name of the projector has been set to “pj.nec.co.jp”, access is gained to the network
setting by specifying
http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.
Example 2: When the IP address of the projector is “192.168.73.1”, access is gained to the network setting by
specifying
http://192.168.73.1/index.html
for the address or the entry column of the URL.

Stacking projectors
The projected image brightness can be doubled by gravity stacking up to two projectors without external support. This
is called “Stacking Projection”.
CAUTION:
A minimum of two persons are required to carry the projector. Otherwise the projector may tumble or drop, causing
personal injury.
NOTE:
• Projectors with different model numbers cannot be gravity stacked.
Optional lenses with the same model numbers must be used for stacking projection.
• The stacking projection does not support accuracy for overlaying two images perfectly so that small text and detailed graphics
can be clearly read or seen.
• Use a commercially available distribution amplifier to both the primary (upper) and the secondary (lower) projectors to distribute
signal to two outputs of the two projectors.
• Notes for stacking
- Ask your service person for setting up and adjusting projectors.
- Set up the projectors in a place or structure in a way with sufficient strength to support the combined weight of the two projec-
tors. The single projector with a lens weighs up to approximately 46 kg/ 101 lbs.
- To prevent the projectors from falling, fasten them in a way to withstand earthquakes.
- Double stacking will cause room temperature to increase. Ventilate the room well.
- Do not attempt to stack projectors on the ceiling. Gravity stacking cannot be done on the ceiling.
- Warm up the projectors for one hour before the desired projection is obtained.
- Set up the projectors so that the projected image shows as little geometric distortions as possible. The lens is different in
geometric distortion between wide(+) and tele (−) for zoom.
s
- Adjust the horizontal lens shift to the lens center.

TIP
• Calculation of the throw distance from the screen size
NP25FL lens throw distance (m) = H × 0.67 : 1.1 m (min.) to 3.2 m (max.)
NP26ZL lens throw distance (m) = H × 1.35 to H × 1.84 : 2.8 m (min.) to 24.0 m (max.)
“H” (Horizontal) refers to the screen width.
* Figures differ by several % with the table above because the calculation is approximate.
Ex.: Throw distance when projecting on a 150" screen using the NP27ZL lens:
According to the “Screen Size (for reference)” table (→ page 217), H (screen width) = 323.1 cm.
The throw distance is 323.1 cm × 1.7 to 323.1 cm × 2.3 = 549.3 cm to 743.13 cm (because of the zoom lens).
• Using the NP28ZL lens will slightly change the image size. When using the NP28ZL lens to adjust the image size, adjust the focus
and then the zoom.

*4 HDMI® (Deep Color, Lip Sync)/DisplayPort with HDCP
What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system
for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI and DisplayPort input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not function-
ing properly. With the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might
not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

Common Problems & Solutions

(→ “Power/Status/Lamp Indicator” on page 228.)
Problem Check These Items
Does not turn on or • Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the power button on the projector cabinet or the remote control
shut down is on. (→ pages 14, 17, 18)
• Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly. (→ page 187)
• Check to see if the projector has overheated. If there is insufficient ventilation around the projector or if the room
where you are presenting is particularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.
• Check to see if you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its
life. If so, replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hours used. (→ page 138)
• The lamp may fail to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on the power again.
• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters
or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH
ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the projector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple
minutes and turn on the projector. (→ page 129)
If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off, the fans run without displaying an image for
some time and then the projector will display the image. Wait for a moment.
Will turn off • Ensure that the [OFF TIMER], [AUTO POWER OFF] or [PROGRAM TIMER] is off. (→ page 121, 132, 159)
No picture • Check if the appropriate input is selected. (→ page 21) If there is still no picture, press the SOURCE button or one
of the input buttons again.
• Ensure your cables are connected properly.
• Use menus to adjust the brightness and contrast. (→ page 111)
• Ensure that the lens cover is open. (→ page 17)
• Reset the settings or adjustments to factory preset levels using the [RESET] in the Menu. (→ page 138)
• Enter your registered keyword if the Security function is enabled. (→ page 45)

- Reinstall your driver for the graphics card built in your computer, or use the updated driver.
For reinstalling or updating your driver, refer to the user guide accompanied with your computer or graphics
card, or contact the support center for your computer manufacturer.
Install the updated driver or OS on your own responsibility.
We are not liable for any trouble and failure caused by this installation.
• Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on
the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before
being powered up.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer’s screen-saver
or power management software.
• See also the page 232.
Picture suddenly • Check if the projector is in the Forced ECO mode because of too high ambient temperature. If this is the case,
becomes dark lower the internal temperature of the projector by selecting [HIGH] for [FAN MODE]. (→ page 129)
Color tone or hue is • Check if an appropriate color is selected in [WALL COLOR]. If so, select an appropriate option. (→ page 119)
unusual • Adjust [HUE] in [PICTURE]. (→ page 111)
Image isn’t square to • Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 23)
the screen • Use the Keystone correction function to correct the trapezoid distortion. (→ page 30)
Picture is blurred • Adjust the focus. (→ page 28)
• Reposition the projector to improve its angle to the screen. (→ page 23)
• Ensure that the distance between the projector and screen is within the adjustment range of the lens.
(→ page 215)
• Has the lens been shifted by an amount exceeding the guaranteed range? (→ page 218)
• Is the lens inserted until it comes to a complete stop? (→ page 163)
• Condensation may form on the lens if the projector is cold, brought into a warm place and is then turned on.
Should this happen, let the projector stand until there is no condensation on the lens.
Flicker appears on • Set [FAN MODE] to other than [HIGH ALTITUDE] mode when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500
screen feet/1600 meters or lower. Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and
setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to
[AUTO]. (→ page 129)

9. Appendix
If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.
• Power on process for the projector and the PC.

Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on
the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before
being powered up.
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”,
this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 135 or go to next step)
• Enabling the computer’s external display.

Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu-
ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on
or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through
external display selections.
• Non-standard signal output from the computer

If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each
notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step.
Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Macintosh

When using a Macintosh with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector)
according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh for the changes to take affect.
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Macintosh and the projector, changing the DIP switch
on a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch
to the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode
and then restart the Macintosh again.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini D-Sub
15-pin connector.
• Mirroring on a PowerBook
* When using the projector with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not be set to 1024 × 768 unless “mirroring”
is off on your PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Macintosh computer for mirroring.
• Folders or icons are hidden on the Macintosh screen

Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple
menu and arrange icons.
