3. Convenient Features
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 [ECO1] or [ECO2]. 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 65)
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 [ECO1]/[ECO2] for
[ECO MODE]) × CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off with the AV-MUTE button, the amount of CO2 emmission
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.

❻ Viewing 3D Images
The projector provides 3D images to a user wearing commercially available LCD shutter eyeglasses.
CAUTION
Health precautions
Before viewing, be sure to read health care precautions that may be found in the user’s manual included with your LCD
shutter eyeglasses or your 3D compatible content such as DVDs, video games, computer’s video files and the like.
To avoid any adverse symptoms, heed the following:
• Do not use LCD shutter eyeglasses for viewing any material other than 3D images.
• Allow a distance of 2 m/7 feet or greater between the screen and a user. Viewing 3D images from too close a
distance can strain your eyes.
• Avoid viewing 3D images for a prolonged period of time. Take a break of 15 minutes or longer after every hour
of viewing.
• If you or any member of your family has a history of light-sensitive seizures, consult a doctor before viewing 3D
images.
• While viewing 3D images, if you get sick such as nausea, dizziness, queasiness, headache, eyestrain, blurry
vision, convulsions, and numbness, stop viewing them. If symptoms still persist, consult a doctor.
• View 3D images from the front of the screen. Viewing from an angle may cause fatigue or eyestrain.

This projector can be used to watch videos in 3D using commercially-available active shutter-type 3D eyewear. In
order to synchronize the 3D video and eyewear, a commercially-available 3D emitter needs to be connected to the
projector (on the projector side).
The 3D eyewear receives information from the 3D emitter and performs opening and closing on the left and right.
NOTE:
• Use an active shutter 3D eyewear (compliance with VESA)
• Check the operating conditions described in the user manual of the Blu-ray player.
• Please connect the DIN terminal of the 3D emitter to the 3D SYNC of the projector.
• The 3D eyewear allows videos to be viewed in 3D by receiving synchronized optical signals output from the 3D emitter. As a result,
the 3D image quality may be affected by conditions such as the brightness of the surroundings, screen size, viewing distance,
etc.
• When playing a 3D video software on a computer, the 3D image quality may be affected if the computer CPU and graphics chip
performance are low. Please check the required operating environment of the computer that is stated in the operating manual
attached to the 3D video software.

• This table shows typical resolutions and aspect ratios that most computers support.
Options Function
AUTO The projector will automatically determine the incoming signal and display it in its aspect
ratio. (→ next page)
The projector may erroneously determine the aspect ratio depending on its signal. If this
occurs, select the appropriate aspect ratio from the following.
4:3 The image is displayed in 4:3 aspect ratio.
16:9 The image is displayed in 16:9 aspect ratio.
15:9 The image is displayed in 15:9 aspect ratio.
16:10 The image is displayed in 16:10 aspect ratio.
LETTERBOX The image of a letterbox signal is stretched equally in the horizontal and vertical direc-
tions to fit the screen. Parts of the displayed image are cropped at the top and bottom
edges and therefore not visible.
NATIVE The projector displays the current image in its true resolution when the incoming computer
signal has a lower resolution than the projector’s native resolution.
[Example] When the incoming signal with the resolution of
800 × 600 is displayed:
NOTE:
• When a non-computer signal is displayed, the [NATIVE] is not available.
• When a signal with a higher resolution than the projector’s native resolution is displayed, [NA-

Aspect ratio of incoming signal 4:3 Letterbox Squeeze
TIP:
• The term “letterbox” refers to a more landscape-oriented image when compared to a 4:3 image, which is the standard aspect
ratio for a video source.
The letterbox signal has aspect ratios with the vista size “1.85:1” or cinema scope size “2.35:1” for movie film.
• The term “squeeze” refers to the compressed image of which aspect ratio is converted from 16:9 to 4:3.
NOTE: This feature is not available for the RGB signal. Noise reduction set to off gives best image quality by way of higher bandwidth.
Noise reduction set to on softens the image.

5. Installation and Connections
NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.
NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.
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.
Usually, 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.

❿ TCO Certification
Some models in this product family are TCO certified. All TCO certified models have the TCO mark on the marking
plate (on the bottom of the product). To see a list of our TCO certified projectors and their TCO Certification (in English
only), visit our website at http://www.nec-display.com/ap/en_projector/tco/index.html
The TCO certification, designed by TCO Development, is an international environmental and ergonomics standard
for IT equipment.
In some cases we may post a list of TCO certified models on our website before the TCO mark is placed on the product.
This difference in timing is related to the date certification is received compared with the projectors manufacturing date.
