Is it necessary to replace the laser light source after using it for 20,000 hours?

We recommend you have your dealer check and clean your projector and replace the laser light source after about 20,000 hours of use. While it’s possible to continue using the projector after this time without replacing the light source, light output at about 20,000 hours will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level.

Why is laser light-source replacement recommended at 20,000 hours?

The value of 20,000 hours is the estimated time at which your projector’s light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level at the time of shipment when used in specific operating modes at certain altitude ranges and in certain operating environments.

Note that changes to settings and adjustments applied immediately before the power is disconnected may not be reflected when the unit is next switched on.

Is it possible to run the projector continuously for 24 hours?

Yes, it is possible. If you intend to use the projector continuously for 24 hours or more, go to the main menu, select [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL] -> and set [CALIBRATION TIME]. If a value is not set, Brightness Control correction will not be performed automatically.

What kind of installation is possible in all directions?

What is Projected Image Rotation function?

Using the built-in angle sensor, the projection image is rotated automatically by 180° according to the installation position of the projector. Whether the projector is installed on the floor or the ceiling, the image is automatically projected in the correct orientation without having to change the settings via menu operation. It is also possible to manually change the settings via the main menu.

Is this a lens-interchangeable projector?

No, this is not a lens-interchangeable projector. It has a built-in lens.

Does the projector support P-in-P (Picture-in-Picture) function?

Yes, it does. Please note that you cannot set P-in-P when [ADVANCED MENU] -> [FRAME RESPONSE] is set to [FAST].
Also, the use of the function may not be possible with certain input signals and input terminals.

A center lumen is a measurement of brightness at the center of the projection screen based on a specified method for measuring light output. The advertised center brightness is the average value of all products when shipped.
