1. Safety Precautions 1. Be sure to read this manual before servicing and save it for future reference. 2. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to explode on rare occasions. 3. Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the proj

Practical consideration 1. When measuring contrast manually, operators should not wear white clothing since light reflected from white clothing can influence the measurement. 2. Unless otherwise specified the projection lens is set in the widest zoom position since zoom function can influence the measurement. 3. Measurement should be performed with Minolta Chromameter, Model CL-100, or equivalent. A1. BRIGHTNESS Unit: Lumen Brightness: Default Contrast: Default W: width of proje
