User Maintenance Cleaning the Projector Periodically clean the projector exterior, lens, intake vents, and exhaust vents on a regular basis. Important! z Always make sure that the projector has cooled sufficiently before cleaning it. If the projector is turned on, perform the following steps before cleaning it. 1 2 3 Turn off the projector. Check to make sure that the POWER/STANDBY indicator has changed to amber.
Important! 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. Replacing the Lamp Caution Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of the lamp rupturing.
Replacing the Lamp Important! z The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted (inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SPLAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose.
To replace the lamp Important! When replacing the lamp, use the special screwdriver that comes with the replacement lamp. The projector does not come with a screwdriver. 1 2 Turn off the projector and unplug its AC power cord. 3 Turn over the projector and place it on top of a desk or on some other stable surface. 4 Loosen the lamp cover screw, and then remove the lamp cover. Wait for about 60 minutes to allow the projector’s current lamp to cool down completely.
6 Use the lamp cartridge handle to pull the lamp cartridge from the projector. 7 Insert the new lamp cartridge as far as it will go, as shown in the illustration. z After inserting the lamp cartridge, lay its handle down in the position shown in the illustration under step 5 on this page.

Connecting to a Component Video Output Device Some video devices are equipped with a component video output terminal. You can use an optionally available VESA to component video adapter (SP-VESA-ADPT-R) and a component video cable to connect the RGB input terminal of the projector to the component video output terminal of a video device. Important! Always turn off the projector and the video device before connecting them. z Component video output terminals come in 3-terminal sets: Y·Cb·Cr or Y·Pb·Pr.
Full-screen Display of an RGB Image The projector outputs images using XGA (1024 pixels × 768 pixels) video resolution. When the input signal from the computer connected to the projector is not an XGA signal, “Resize Image To Fit” automatically enlarges or reduces the image so it matches the projector’s video resolution and fills the entire screen. The following shows how different input signals from a computer are adjusted during projection.
Reattaching the Lens Cover Use the following procedure to replace the lens cover if it should accidentally become detached from the projector. 1 Insert the nub () of the left tab of the lens cover into the depression () of the tab under the lens. z When performing the above step, make sure that the lens cover is open to 90 degrees in relation to the front of the Data Projector.
