10
Setting up your projector
Setting up the screen
Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a
way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See below.)
• Install the screen and projector so that the projector's lens is placed at the same height
and horizontal position of the screen center.
• Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly
reflecting on the screen makes the projected images whitish and hard to view.
Basic setup
Determine the distance ftom. the screen to the projector according to the size of the, images to
be projected. (See Below).
Adjusting the projection angle
This projector is provided with four feet for adjusting the projection angle on the bottom surface.
Adjust the projection angle depending on the position of the projector. (Turn the feet for adjusting
the projection angle to the left or right to adjust their length). In addition, an opening on top of the
projector gives access to an additional adjustment shifting the lens up and down. Use a
screwdrive to operate it.
When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid:
When the screen and the projector are not placed perpendicularly to each other, projected
images become trapezoidal. If you cannot make the projector and the screen perpendicular to
each other by mechanical adjustments, adjust KEYSTONE in the INSTALLATION menu. (See
below).
• When the keystone adjustment is applied, the correct aspect ratio may not be obtained.
• To secure the correct aspect ratio, use the projector with its lens centered as much as
possible. However, the correct aspect ratio may not be obtained even though the lens is
centered.
• When the keystone adjustment is applied, the resolution lowers. In addition, vertical
stripes appear and straight lines bend in images with complicated patterns. To prevent
such symptoms, keep the screen and the projector perpendicular to each other as much
as possible.
• Though the projected image may be distorted momentarily when you change the setting
value of the keystone adjustment, such symptom is not a malfunction.
• Though the projected image may be distorted depending on the setting value of the
keystone adjustment and the type of the input signal, such symptom is not a
malfunction. In such a case, adjust the setting value within the range where the
projected image is not distorted.
• The setting value displayed at the time of the keystone adjustment may vary depending
on the type of the input signal.
11
Screen size and projection distance
When the aspect ratio of the screen is 16:9, the following table gives the projection distance for
various sizes of screen.
The screen size is measured diagonally.
The height and Width are the resulting image size for the the considered screen size.
The projection distance is the distance from the lens front to the screen plane.

Replacing the lamp
The Projector is a consumable. It may burn out or its brightness may decrease during use.
In such cases, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible. Be sure
to replace the lamp with a new lamp separately sold that is designed for the Eidos 720. Contact
your dealer for purchasing the lamp.
WARNING:
• Be sure to turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
before replacing the lamp. Lamp replacement without turning off the main power switch
may result in electric shock.
• Be careful not to drop the lamp fixing screws into the inside of the projector. Don't put a
metal piece or flammable object into the projector. Using the projector with any foreign
object present inside may result in electric shock or fire. When you can!t remove the
foreign object from the inside, contact your dealer for removal.
• Be sure to install the lamp securely. When the lamp isn't installed properly, it won!t work.
Improper installation may also result in fire.
• Don't shake the removed lamp or don't lift it above your face. You may be injured in your
eye by flying or falling glass fragments.
• Don't replace the lamp immediately after use because the lamp cover is very hot. You
may get burned. Turn off the power using the POWER button. After the lamp goes out,
wait about two minutes until the intake and exhaust fans for cooling the lamp stop
rotating. Then turn off the main power switch, unplug the power cord, and wait at least
one hour to allow the lamp to cool down enough to touch.
CAUTION:
• When the lamp operating time exceeds 1470 hours, a warning indication is displayed on
the screen for one minute. When it exceeds 1500 hours*, the warning indication is kept
displayed on the screen. In such a case, replace the lamp with a new one immediately.
• Don't remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement. Unnecessary removal
of the lamp may result in a breakdown.
• This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The high-pressure
mercury lamp may explode or fail to illuminate permanently because of an impact,
scratch, or deterioration through use. The period of time until explosion or permanent
failure to illuminate varies considerably from lamp to lamp, depending on operation
conditions. Therefore, the lamp may explode soon after the start of use.
• The possibility of explosion of the lamp increases if you use it beyond its replacement
period. When the instruction of lamp replacement appears, replace it with a new one
immediately even if the lamp is still lighting normally.
• When the high-pressure mercury lamp explodes, glass fragments will scatter inside or
outside the lamp box and the gas charged inside the lamp will diffuse inside or outside
the projector. The gas inside the lamp contains mercury. Be careful not to breathe it or
avoid it from entering your eye or mouth. If you should breathe it or if it should enter your
eye or mouth, see a doctor immediately.
• In the event that the high-pressure mercury lamp has exploded, glass fragments may
have been scattered inside the projector. Ask your dealer to replace the lamp and to
inspect the inside of the projector. When you clean or replace the lamp by yourself, be
sure to hold the handle of the lamp. You may get injured by glass fragments.
• Don't replace the lamp with the projector installed on the ceiling. Glass fragments may
fall from the projector, entering your eye or mouth causing injury.
• Dispose of the used lamp according to the local regulations and rules.
* Times given when the projector is used with LAMP MODE set to NORMAL. When it is set to
LOW, this period of time becomes longer.

• Lift the handle.
• Pull the lamp out of the projector by the handle.
o Pull the lamp out of the projector slowly and carefully
o When the bulb has exploded, rough removal of the lamp may cause glass
fragments to scatter. Do not spill water on the lamp, or do not place it where
children can reach or near flammables.You may get burned or injured.
• Hold the handle of the new lamp and insert the lamp in the opening in the projector to
the end in the correct orientation.
• Press the handle into its storing position. Make sure that the handle is securely locked.
• Tighten the three fixing screws securely using a flatblade driver.
