where you purchased it, be sure to use the  
power cord that came with it. Whenever  
using the projector in another country, be  
sure to purchase and use a power cord that  
is rated for the voltage of that country.  
i
Blocking the vents  
E
Never allow the intake vents (on the  
side or back of the projector) or the  
exhaust vents (on the front of the  
projector) to become blocked. Doing so  
causes internal heat build up, which  
creates the risk of fire and breakdown  
of the projector. Touching the projector  
while it is hot creates the risk of burn  
injury. Make sure that you always  
observe the following precautions.  
• Allow at least 30cm (11.8 inches) between  
the projector and walls.  
Water and foreign matter  
Never allow water to get on the  
projector. Water creates the risk of fire  
and electric shock.  
Never place a vase or any other  
container of water on top of the  
projector. Water creates the risk of fire  
and electric shock.  
Water or other liquid, or foreign matter  
(metal, etc.) getting into the projector  
creates the risk of fire and electric  
shock. Should anything get inside the  
projector, immediately perform the  
following steps.  
• Do not insert the projector into any space  
where air circulation is poor.  
• Never cover the projector with a blanket or  
any similar item.  
• Locate the projector on a firm, flat surface  
during use. Never use the projector while it  
is on a carpet, blanket, towel, seat cushion,  
or other pliable surface.  
• Never stand the projector up on either end  
during use.  
1. Turn off the projector.  
2. Unplug the projector.  
3. Contact your original dealer or authorized  
CASIO service center.  
Projector cabinet  
Never open the projector’s cabinet.  
Doing so creates the risk of electric  
shock.  
Disassembly and modification  
Never try to take the projector apart  
or modify it in any way. The projector  
contains a large number of high-  
voltage components that create the  
risk of electric shock and burn injury.

E
Take care when replacing a broken lamp.  
A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to  
be scattered inside the lamp housing. Glass  
inside of the lamp housing may also be  
discharged from the projector’s vent exhaust  
ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes  
mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area  
whenever the lamp breaks. Should you  
accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas  
fumes get into your eyes, immediately  
contact a physician.  
Caution  
Misuse of a battery can cause it to leak and  
stain the area around it, or to explode,  
creating the risk of fire and personal injury.  
Make sure that you always observe the  
following precaution.  
• Use only the type of battery that is  
specified for the remote controller.  
Dead battery  
Broken lamp  
Be sure to remove the battery from the  
remote controller as soon as it goes dead.  
• Remove the battery from the remote  
controller if you do not plan to use  
it for a long time.  
Never attempt to replace a broken  
lamp on your own. The projector uses  
a mercury lamp with high internal  
pressure as its light source. Should  
the lamp break, be sure to contact  
your original dealer or authorized  
CASIO service center to request  
replacement. Attempting to replace a  
broken lamp on your own creates the  
risk of personal injury due to broken  
glass or dispersed mercury.  
Disposing of batteries  
Make sure that you dispose of used batteries  
in accordance with the rules and regulations  
in your local area.  
Lamp Precautions  
Other  
Warning  
Caution  
Lamp removal  
Never remove the lamp from the

steady (not flashing) amber, unplug the  
projector from the power outlet. Next,  
wait for at least 60 minutes before  
removing the lamp.  
Allowing dust to build up inside the projector  
for long periods without cleaning creates the  
risk of fire and breakdown. Contact your  
original dealer or authorized CASIO service  
center once a year about having the interior  
of the projector cleaned. Note that you will be  
charged for cleaning.  
Specified lamp type  
Use only the lamp type that is

Operating Precautions  
Lamp Handling Precautions  
Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of  
the lamp rupturing. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible  
after the replacement message appears.  
Caution  
z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can damage the lamp and  
shorten its life.  
z The light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately  
2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp  
replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating  
conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears.  
z Lamps are guaranteed for 180 days from the date of purchase or for 500 hours operation,  
whichever comes first.  
z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that is  
weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if  
exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp life differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and is affected  
by conditions under which the lamp is used.  
z The replacement message appears and the LAMP indicator flashes red after the lamp life is  
reached. When this happens, replace the lamp using the instructions provided in this User’s  
Guide.  
z If the lamp continues to be used after its lamp life is reached, after 100 hours the projector  
will enter a cool down state and then go into standby. The projector will not turn on again  
until you replace the lamp.  
z When installing the projector in a ceiling configuration, be sure to purchase a special Ceiling  
Installation Lamp and replace the projector’s normal lamp with it. The lamp that comes  
installed in the projector when you purchase it cannot be used in a ceiling configuration.

Operating Precautions  
Other Precautions  
This projector is made of precision components. Failure to observe the following precautions can  
result in inability to correctly save data and malfunction.  
i
Never use or store the projector in the following locations. Doing so creates the  
risk of malfunction of and damage to the projector.  
z Locations subjected to electrostatic charge  
E
z Locations subjected to temperature extremes  
z Locations where there is extreme moisture  
z Locations subjected to sudden temperature changes  
z Locations where there is a lot of dust  
z On a shaky, slanted, or otherwise unstable surface  
z Locations where there is the danger of getting wet  
Avoid using the projector under the following conditions. Such conditions create  
the risk of malfunction of and damage to the projector.  
z Avoid areas subject to temperature extremes (operating  
temperature range is 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)).  
z Never place heavy objects on the projector or climb on  
top of the projector.  
z Never insert or allow foreign objects to drop into the  
projector.  
z Never place a vase or any other container of water on  
top of the projector.  
Never leave a dead battery inside the remote controller for a long time.  
A dead battery can leak, which leads to malfunction of and damage to the remote controller.  
Clean with a soft, dry cloth.  
When very dirty, use a soft cloth that has been dampened in a weak solution of water and a  
mild neutral detergent. Wring all excess water from the cloth before wiping. Never use thinner,  
benzene, or any other volatile agent to clean the projector. Doing so can remove its markings  
and cause staining of the case.  
Missing Screen Dots  
Though this projector is manufactured using the most advanced digital technology available today,  
some of the dots on the screen may be missing. This is normal, and does not indicate  
malfunction.  
Never subject the projector to strong impact while it is projecting.  
If the projector is accidentally subjected to strong impact, the projection image will momentarily  
go blank. The image will reappear after some time, but it may be the wrong color or it may be  
accompanied by an error message.  
If the projected image is the wrong color, re-select the current input source. If this does not  
return the projected image to its proper color, use the procedure under “To turn off the  
projector” on page E-22 to turn projector power off and then back on again.  
If the image reappears with an error message, correct the problem in accordance with the  
indicator explanations in the “Troubleshooting” guide on page E-34.  
Keystone Correction and Image Quality  
Performing keystone correction causes the image to be compressed before it is projected. This  
can result distortion of the image or a loss of image quality. If this happens, change orientation  
of the projector and/or screen so it conforms as much as possible to the illustration under  
“Setting Up the Projector” on page E-14.  
If image quality is the highest priority, turn off auto keystone correction and position the  
projector so it is pointed straight at the screen.  
E-7  
 
Operating Precautions  
Even if your projector is still within the warranty period, you will be charged for repair if a  
problem is due to running the projector non-stop for very long periods (like 24 hours) or if  
the projector was set up and used without following the “Setup Precautions” on page E-15 of  
this manual.  
Precaution when Handling the Projector after Use  
The exhaust vents on the front of the projector and the top  
of projector become very hot during operation, and will still be  
hot immediately after turning off the projector. Because of this,  
you should hold the sides of the projector as shown in the  
illustration whenever moving it.  
Stowing the Projector in the Soft case  
Make sure the projector is no longer warm before stowing it in the soft case.

to install or use just about anywhere.  
z Wide projection range, from a minimum of 0.84 meters: Wide angle 2X zoom allows  
projection even when projector-to-screen distance is severely limited. Minimum projection  
distance is 1.7 meters, even when projecting onto a 60-inch large screen.  
z A selection of possible input sources: Computer RGB, composite video, and component  
video (Y-Cb/P-Cr/Pr) are all supported as input sources.  
z Direct Power On: The projector can be configured to turn on automatically and start  
projecting as soon as it is plugged into a power outlet. This eliminates keeping your audience  
waiting as you perform time-consuming setups.  
z Pointer: The remote controller can be used to select one of a variety of different pointers for  
use during projection.  
z Expandability using external USB devices (XJ-S36/XJ-S46 only): A USB port on the  
XJ-S36/XJ-S46 can be used for connection of a USB memory device, a wireless adapter  
(YW-2), or a document camera (YC-400/YC-430 Multi PJ Camera System). Now you can

projector is at a  
right angle to the  
screen.  
z You can place the projector on a surface that is angled up to 30 degrees upwards or  
downwards during use. Never locate the projector on a surface that is angled more than 30  
degrees, or angled at all to the left or right. Such conditions can cause the lamp to  
explode or can shorten lamp life, and also creates the risk of malfunction.  
z The projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are  
projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction (page  
E-25) to correct the image.  
E-14  
 
Getting Ready  
Setup Precautions  
Note that the condition of the environment where you use the projector greatly affects its  
performance. Make sure that the following are the conditions of projector setup whenever you  
use it.  
i
z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug  
the projector.  
E
z Do not place any objects within the area indicated by the dashed line in the illustration  
below. Be especially careful that you never block intake and exhaust vents.  
Allow sufficient clearance and do  
not block intake and exhaust vents.  
Intake vents  
Exhaust vents  
30 cm  
(11.8 inches)  
Intake vents  
z Do not locate any objects near the projector while it is in use. Keep all items at least 30cm  
(11.8 inches) away from the intake and exhaust vents.  
z The vents become quite hot while the projector is in use. Never touch the vents with your  
hands. Also, the areas near the exhaust vents become quite hot. Never locate objects made  
of plastic or other heat-sensitive materials near or under the projector. Doing so creates the  
risk of deformation and discoloration of the object.  
z Avoid placing the projector on a surface that is unstable or prone to vibration. Never place  
the projector on top of a carpet, blanket, towel, or other soft material.  
z Do not locate the projector where it will be exposed to direct sunlight.  
z Avoid locations where there are large amounts of dust and moisture.  
z Keep the projector away from speakers, TVs, radios, and other devices that generate  
magnetism, as well as from heaters.  
z Over time, use of the projector can cause dust and dirt to build up in and around the fan’s  
intake vents, which can lead to malfunction of the projector. Be sure to check the intake  
vents for dust build up each time before you use the projector. If you see dirt or dust in or  
around the intake vents, remove it by wiping with a cloth, etc.  
z When positioning the projector, make sure you do so in such a way that the intake vents do  
not become blocked. Blocked intake vents can shorten the life of the lamp.  
z Airflow from air conditioning equipment can blow the heat being exhausted from the area  
around the projector’s lens in a way that causes heat ripples to appear in the projected  
image. If this happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment or move the  
projector.  
E-15  
 
Getting Ready  
Adjusting the Projector Elevation Angle  
You can change the elevation angle of the projector in a range of 0 to 12 degrees. You can  
also make fine adjustments to the left and right side elevation angle when necessary.  
To change the projector elevation angle  
1. Lift up the front of the projector and press the  
release button.  
z This causes the elevation adjustment foot to drop  
from the bottom of the projector.  
z Be sure to press the release button before trying to  
lower the elevation adjustment foot. Pulling on the  
foot without pressing the release lever can damage  
the foot.  
2. While holding down the release button, raise and  
lower the front of the projector until the elevation adjustment foot is approximately the  
length you need.  
3. Release the release button to lock the elevation adjustment foot in its current position.  
4. Use the left and right adjustment feet to further fine adjust the elevation angle.  
z The left and right adjustment feet are for fine adjustment only. Do not try to rotate them  
too far. Doing so can cause an adjustment foot to detach. Tightening an adjustment foot  
too strongly can cause it to become stuck.  
Rotate to adjust horizontal alignment.  
z To retract the elevation adjustment foot, hold down the release button and slide the  
elevation adjustment foot back into the projector. Never try to forcibly change the elevation  
adjustment foot position without pressing the release button.  
Rear Projection (From the Back of the Screen)

projector.  
z Do not share the outlet supplying power to the projector with other devices. If you are using  
an extension cord, make sure that the ampere rating of the extension cord is compatible with  
the power consumption value of this projector.  
z Never use the power cord while it is still bundled together.  
z Never place objects on top of the power cord and do not step on it.  
z Never pull on the power cord. When unplugging it, grasp the plug.  
z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug  
the projector.  
z If you need more information about the power supply, contact your original dealer or  
authorized CASIO service center.  
To turn on the projector  
1. Use the bundled AC power cord to plug  
Power supply connector  
the projector into a power outlet.  
z Plugging into a power outlet causes the  
three indicators on the top of the projector  
to light amber. After a short while, two of  
the indicators will go out and only the  
POWER/STANDBY indicator will remain lit  
amber, which indicates the standby state.  
z Note that the projector will not turn on if  
you press the [ ] (power) key while all  
three indicators are lit amber. Wait until the  
projector is in the standby state before  
trying to turn it on.  
Bundled AC power

electrical outlet while it is turned off. If you do, there is the chance that it (and the lamp)  
might turn on automatically when power is restored after being cut off by a power outage,  
tripping of a breaker, etc.  
z Direct Power On causes the projector to turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged into  
a power outlet. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes until you are ready to  
start projecting. Note, however, that the actual startup sequence (Standby State Power  
On Warm Up Projection Starts) that the projector performs is the same, regardless of  
whether Direct Power On is enabled or disabled. The only difference is what triggers the  
sequence (plugging in or pressing the [ ] (power) key). For details about the startup  
sequence that the projector performs when you plug it into a power source, see “To turn  
on the projector” on page E-20.  
z For details about configuring the Direct Power On setting, see “Direct Power On” under

Projector Basics  
Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE)  
When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may  
have different length top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called, “keystoning”. This  
projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which  
provides a regularly shaped projected image.  
ihs  
E
z Keystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original  
(uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image  
becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close  
to the configuration shown under “Setting Up the Projector” on page E-14.  
z The projector does not support horizontal keystone correction. The center of the projector’s  
lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen (page E-14).  
Automatic Keystone Correction  
When “On” is selected for the “Option Settings 1 ꢂ  
Auto Keystone Correction” setting of the Setup Menu,  
the projector will detect the vertical orientation of the  
object in the image and adjust its shape automatically  
so it appears as a rectangle. The message “Auto  
Keystone Corrected.appears in the lower left corner of  
the projected image when the projector performs auto  
keystone correction.  
z The projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are  
projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction to  
correct the image.  
z Auto keystone correction is performed by detecting the elevation angle of the projector. This  
means that the surface you are projecting onto needs to be standing straight up. If the  
surface you are projecting onto is not straight, use manual keystone correction to correct  
the image.  
To use manual keystone correction  
1. Press the [KEYSTONE +] or [KEYSTONE –] key.  
z This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.  
2. Use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE –] keys to correct for keystoning.  
z Correction can be performed for keystoning within 30°.  
3. To close the setup screen, press the [ESC] key.  
E-25  
 
Using the Setup Menu  
Pressing the [MENU] key while an image is being projected displays the setup menu on the

User Maintenance  
Cleaning the Projector  
Periodically clean the projector exterior, lens, intake vents, and exhaust vents on a regular basis.  
ihs  
z Always make sure that the projector has cooled sufficiently before cleaning it. If the  
E
projector is turned on, perform the following steps before cleaning it.  
1. Turn off the projector.  
2. Check to make sure that the POWER/STANDBY indicator has changed to amber.  
3. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and allow the projector to cool down for  
about 60 minutes.  
Cleaning the Projector Exterior  
Wipe the exterior of the projector with a soft cloth that has been moistened in a weak solution  
of water and a mild neutral detergent. Be sure to wring all excess moisture from the cloth  
before wiping.  
Never use benzene, alcohol, thinner, or any other volatile agent for cleaning.  
Cleaning the Lens  
Carefully wipe the lens with a commercially available lens cloth or optical lens paper, like those  
for eyeglasses or camera lenses. When cleaning the lens, be very careful to avoid scratching it.  
Cleaning Intake and Exhaust Vents  
Dust and dirt tend to collect around the intake vents located on the back and both sides of the  
projector. Because of this, you should use a vacuum cleaner to clean away accumulated dust  
and dirt periodically as shown below.  
z Continued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents can  
cause overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction.  
z Certain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the  
projector’s exhaust vents on the front. If this happens, use the same procedure as that  
described above to clean the exhaust vents.  
E-27  
 
User Maintenance  
Reattaching the Lens Cover

Replacing the Lamp  
z Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk  
of the lamp rupturing. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as  
possible after the replacement message appears.  
Caution  
i
E
z The light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately  
2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp  
replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating  
conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears.  
To check the current lamp use time  
1. Press the [MENU] key to display the setup menu.  
2. Press the [] key to select the “Operational  
Info” main menu.  
z The “Lamp Time” sub-menu item shows the  
number of hours that the current lamp has been  
used.  
3. Press the [MENU] key to exit the setup menu.  
When to replace the lamp  
The LAMP indicator starts to flash red and the message shown below appears whenever the  
lamp time exceeds 2000 hours.  
It is time to replace the lamp. Use the procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as  
soon as possible.  
When this message appears, replace the lamp as soon as possible using the procedure under  
“Replacing the Lamp” on page E-30.  
Note that the above message will disappear about 10 seconds after you turn on the projector,  
even if you do not replace the lamp.  
You will be able to continue using the projector without replacing the lamp until the lamp time  
reaches 100 hours. At that time, the LAMP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit red, the  
following message will appear for about 10 seconds, and then the projector will turn off  
automatically.  
The lamp has exceeded its service life! The projector will not turn on until you replace the  
lamp.  
When this message appears, replace the lamp immediately using the procedure under  
“Replacing the Lamp” on page E-30.

User Maintenance  
Replacing the Lamp  
z During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely  
hot. Before replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the  
cool down operation (indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is  
flashing amber) to finish. Next, disconnect the AC power cord from the  
projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even  
further.  
Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately  
after turning off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.  
z Replace the lamp using the optional lamp cartridge only.

z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source.  
A lamp that is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp  
life may explode or fail to light if exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp  
life differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and is affected by conditions under  
which the lamp is used.  
Caution  
z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause  
the lamp to rupture and shorten its life.  
z A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the  
lamp housing. Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged  
from the projector’s vent exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes  
mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area whenever the lamp breaks.  
Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas fumes get into  
your eyes, immediately contact a physician.  
z Should the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass  
fragments. Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Be sure to  
contract your original dealer or authorized CASIO service center to  
request replacement.  
z The lamp contains mercury. Dispose of old lamps in accordance with the  
rules and regulations of your local jurisdiction.
