Remove the lens cap when you turn on the projector. The power cords for use in the U.S. and Europe are provided with this projector. Use the appropriate cord for your country. This projector uses the power plug of three-pin grounding type. Do not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. If the power plug doesnt fit your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the wall outlet. The provided power cord for the U.S. is rated at 120 V. Never connect this cord to any outlet or power supply using other voltages or frequencies than rated. If you want to use a power supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an appropriate power cord separately. Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or electric shock. Do not place any objects on the power cord or do not place the projector near heat sources to prevent damage to the power cord. If the power cord should be damaged, contact your dealer for replacement because it may cause fire or electric shock. Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power cord is modified or altered, it may cause fire or electric shock. Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord. Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand wet. It may cause electric shock.

Adjustment of the projection angle
For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.
When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesnt mean a projection angle. The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation conditions. When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions. Noise may appear on the screen during the keystone adjustment because of the type of the video signal being projected and the setting values of the keystone adjustment. In such cases, set the keystone adjustment values in the range where the image is displayed without noise. When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of input signal. For SD430U only When the 720p or 1080i signal is input, the keystone adjustment ranges are limited.

MITSUBISHI XD430U AND SD430U PROJECTORS HELP YOU GET AWAY FAST Fast-Cooling Portable, High-Brightness Projectors for Business and Education Debut
IRVINE, Calif., April 28, 2006 Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division, known for its award-winning, high-quality presentation and display products, announced its two new business and education market projectors that let users make rapid exits with a quick power-down feature to accommodate classroom or conference room schedules. Combining high brightness with new features for maximum portability and peace of mind, the projectors allow users to finish their presentations and leave the room promptly without having to wait for their projector to cool off. Mitsubishi's new XD430U and SD430U each boast 2500 ANSI lumens, high brightness that is perfect for most lighting situations, including windowed boardrooms and brightly lit classrooms. For ceiling, tabletop or cart-mounted installations, the projectors can be securely attached by a new antitheft ring to thwart potential thefts in highrisk environments. Aggressively priced to deliver great performance and value, the XD430U, XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) and SD430U, SVGA resolution (800 x 600 pixels) projectors are available at suggested retail prices of $1795 and $1495 respectively. Both new projectors offer two PC inputs and a monitor loop through, providing display flexibility, and are RS232c controllable for easy integration in environments using third party control systems. "We have designed these two new projectors with features that are essential to business and education professionals," said Frank Anzures, product manager for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Product Division. "The combination of brightness and valuable features at an affordable price makes these projectors perfect for any cost-conscious customer." Each projector uses Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing technology for exceptional image quality and their advanced filter-free construction makes them resistant to dust, dirt and other particles for maintenance-free operation and image clarity. "We strive to provide a value product without compromising quality and performance," said James Chan, director, product marketing, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Product Division. "We continue to offer options for every application and every budget." Availability, Warranty Both projectors come with Mitsubishi's three-year limited warranty on parts and labor plus a 90-day limited warranty on the lamp. Like all Mitsubishi XGA projectors, the XD430U is covered by the Express Replacement Assistance (ERA) Program, a nationwide comprehensive service that offers next business-day replacement for down units under warranty.
