The above figures are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements.
Front projection, ceiling mounting
For ceiling mounting, you need the ceiling mount kit designed for this projector. Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer. The warranty on this projector does not cover any damage caused by use of any non-recommended ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount kit in an improper location.
Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs ventilation by the fans, causing damage or failure. Put a hard board under the projector to facilitate ventilation. Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) away from the wall to prevent the air inlet grille and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from being blocked. Do not use the projector in the following locations and manners, which may cause fire or electric shock. In a dusty or humid place. In a sideways or upside-down position. Near a heater. In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen. In direct sunlight. Where the temperature rises high, such as in a closed car. Where the temperature is lower than +41F (or +5C) or higher than +95F (or +35C ). If you move the zoom, the screen will be out of focus. If this is the case, adjust the focus again. Do not apply force to the lens, because the lens may be damaged.

When using the projector mounted on the ceiling, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR INVERT. See page 16. When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, images may appear darker than those projected in the case of tabletop mounting. This isnt a product malfunction.

Rear projection

Ask a specialist for installation. For details, consult your dealer.
For rear projection, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR. See page 16.
Image size varies depending on the distance between the screen and the projector.

Basic connections

This projector can be connected with various devices such as a VCR, video camera, videodisc player, and personal computer that have analog RGB output connectors.
Make sure that the connected device is turned off before starting connection. Plug in the power cords of the projector and the connected devices firmly. When unplugging, hold and pull the plug. Do not pull the cord. When the projector and the connected devices are located too close to each other, the projected image may be affected by their interference.

Warning:

After using the projector:

In the following cases:

Press the (or -) button. Press the (or +) button.
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.

Screen Adjustment feet

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. The keystone adjustment doesn't work when no signal.

Power-on
1. 2. Turn on the device connected to the projector first. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet. The POWER indicator lights up.
If the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before the projector is cooled down completely after use, the fans may start rotating when the power cord is plugged in and the POWER button is pressed next time.
Press the POWER button on the control panel or the ON button on the remote control. It may take about one minute for the lamp to light up. The lamp occasionally fails to light up and goes to Stand-by mode. In this case, try to light the lamp again. If the temperature of lamp is high, wait a few minutes and try to light the lamp again. After the POWER button is pressed, the image may flicker before the lamp becomes stable. This is not a product malfunction. Regardless of the setting of LAMP MODE in the INSTALLATION menu, the STANDARD lamp mode is activated by default whenever the projector is turned on.
Indicator STATUS POWER Red Blinking red REMARKS About 4 seconds Can not turn off about 60 seconds after turning on. -

The volume control bar will disappear about 10 seconds after the VOLUME button is released. When a high-level audio signal, such as a DVD audio signal, is supplied to the AUDIO IN terminal, the output from the speaker may be distorted.

AV mute

The video and audio signals are temporarily muted when the MUTE button is pressed. To cancel muting, press the MUTE button again.

ANAMORPHIC mode

When playing DVD discs containing data of letterboxed image, press the 16:9 button. Exit the ANAMORPHIC mode, by pressing the 16:9 button again.
When a letterboxed image is kept displayed for a long time before displaying 4:3 image, the afterimages of the black bars may appear on the 4:3 image screen. Consult your dealer in this case. After using the projector, wait 90 seconds for the air outlet fans to stop. Then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. While cooling down, the STATUS LED keeps blinking green, the POWER button wont work till it stops blinking. The air outlet fans will run for extra 90 seconds before starting the projector if it didn't shut down properly ( unplug directly without pressing POWER button) and the temperature is too high. The air outlet fans rotate faster as the temperature around the projector rises. After shut down due to the high temperature, the Status LED is lit about 10 seconds. Do not display a still picture for a long time because the afterimages may persist on the screen.

A recipient of the Center for Digital Educations 2008 Digital Education Achievement Awards for its Internet/ intranet portal, CCPS is among the nations leading proponents when it comes to technology adoption. The school district extends its commitment to technology advancements by providing modern audiovisual display equipment to its 3,200 classrooms.
According to Dr. Angie Bacon, chief information ofcer for CCPS, the mandate was to ensure the deployment of 21st century classroom technologies. We strive to implement technology that enhances the delivery of education in a responsible, accountable manner, she said. Previously, each classroom had its own 20-inch television monitor to view DVD videos. These TVs were on carts and even when moved to the center of the classroom, they were too small to be effective. So the district gradually began to accumulate a hodgepodge of projectors purchased by different departments that had secured grant monies. There
Driven by the RFP, CCPS partnered with CompuTrac, a leading regional reseller of technology in the education market, to purchase and install ceiling-mounted DLP projectors. Dr. Bacon emphasized the convenience of the new DLP projectors: With the Mitsubishi XD-500, we can change bulbs while the projector is still mounted. We dont need to pull the projector

down and realign it.

CCPS' rst wave of DLP projectors and 85-inch projection screens were installed in 800 classrooms last year. This year, the district will deploy an additional 1,000 DLP projectors. Next year, another 1,400 DLP projectors will be deployed to classrooms across the county.
A clearer picture for every student
From a quality, reliability, and affordability perspective, CCPS is very pleased with the performance of the DLP technology in its classrooms. Unlike the LCD solutions we were using, DLP technology doesnt present the compromises and trade-offs we endured. First, the picture quality is much better with DLP. Theres no color fade, the contrast is sharp, and the picture is very clear, even in classrooms with a lot of ambient light. When youre working with a word processing document or numbers in a spreadsheet, the picture remains very bright and clear from any location in the room, even on large screens.

Our media and maintenance people dont need to be on ladders changing lters. That alone saves us hundreds of thousands of dollars.
were no standards, so there was an array of LCD projectors. Only a few were mounted most were on carts, and there were cords to the laptops which created safety issues. Teachers needed to sign up for these carts a week or two in advance to ensure availability. As a result, their use of computers and projection in the classroom involved too many compromises and limitations.
Our media and maintenance people dont need to be on ladders changing lters, she said. Dr. Bacon also noted that their LCD projectors presented signicant maintenance and quality issues for the district. LCD projectors required a lot of upkeep, she explained. Our media specialist had to change the lters regularly, or else we would be out of warranty, and change bulbs that were not lasting a long time. That was a non-trivial expense for us and the work orders created a signicant backlog. According to Dr. Bacon, the on-demand availability of audiovisual technology in the classroom is providing new dimensions to the school curriculum. We have extensive At the request of the former CIO and the districts superintendents, Dr. Bacon undertook a complete review of the video-projection market, aiming to identify and recommend a districtwide standard for classroom audiovisual display technology. The project would be funded over a three-year period. The rst decision was to choose an underlying technology standard: Texas Instruments DLP technology. We researched DLP technology and compared to what wed experienced with LCD it was apparent to us that DLP was a superior alternative, Dr. Bacon said. When we wrote our RFP, we specied that DLP was our preference. professional development courses for our faculty, she said. So were working to ensure that theyre comfortable with the technology and have good options for integrating it into their classroom culture. For instance, were showing how they can use DLP projectors to give what we call virtual eld trips to faraway places. Its creating a new level of student engagement that has our faculty excited as well. A new level of student engagement That alone saves us hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We couldnt have completed this process without the cooperation of Computrac, said LaHatte. Our partnership resulted in very detailed installation plans and all associated checks and balances that kept everything on schedule.
Now that teachers and students have had a chance to experience the new projection technology, their unprompted feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Ive had a
When youre looking at thousands of classrooms, that kind of maintenance burden is unfeasible. You have to move ladders into and out of classrooms when theyre empty and thats an issue that no one wants to take on. I knew that if we required that level of maintenance, it would doom the project.

number of people stop me principals and teachers and tell me how excited they are to have this technology in their classrooms, said LaHatte. Just today, I received an e-mail from a local tech coordinator at one of our schools serving students with special needs. She said the impact that these projectors are having on students in their classrooms is remarkable that it was beyond signicant and impactful in immeasurable ways.
The lower TCO of the DLP technology has made all of the difference in the world for our school system. As we expand our deployment into 5,000 elementary classrooms in our next phase of refurbishments, its easy to see that DLP technology is improving our classroom technology platform while easily saving huge overhead costs over the life of this equipment. The long-term value is easy to see.
Gwinnett County Public Schools chooses TIs DLP projector technology for thousands of classrooms,
achieving lower total costs, improved display quality.
Gwinnett County Public Schools, the largest school system in Georgia and 14th largest in the nation, serves approximately 156,000 K-12 students in 110 schools and educational facilities across 345 square miles.
Challenge: Deploy vivid, clear display technology in 2,300 classrooms while minimizing maintenance issues. Solution: Over 2,000 xed-mounted Mitsubishi XD 205 and XD 206 DLP projectors installed by Computrac that display on 60 or 70 inch screens, providing clarity and visibility from anywhere in the classroom.

Results:

An improved viewing experience, greater simplicity for teachers, and, most importantly, a near-zero maintenance burden to reduce labor costs.
With approximately 156,000 students in 110 facilities across 345 square miles in the metro-Atlanta area, Gwinnett County Public Schools is the states largest school district and the 14th largest district in the nation and growing by approximately 4,000 students a year. The district is funded by a $1.7 billion operating budget, which an average cost per pupil of $7,705.
For years, the Gwinnett County School District has been an aggressive adopter of classroom technologies including video displays to create a richer learning experience for students at all grade levels. However, as Gwinnett County embarked on wide-scale retrotting projects for its thousands of classrooms, the district recognized that a new strategy was needed for the video-display portion of its standard classroom conguration.

The team then turned its attention to LCD and Texas Instrumentss DLP projection technologies. We were looking for a solution that could accommodate native digital output and integrate with enhanced audio, too, he said. We found that a minimum level of brightness probably in the 2,000-lumens range would display well in almost

any classrooms lighting conditions and that would keep teachers happy. And teacher satisfaction was a key to our process. If they were unhappy with the new systems, theyd all be clamoring for the return of their old TV monitors.
Maintenance makes the difference
Beyond the image quality and affordability factors, the key to Gwinnett Countys decision was the radical difference in maintenance requirements between LCD and DLP display projectors. First I didnt think we could get a three-year warranty on an LCD lamp and projector, LaHatte said. So that was problematic. To dissipate heat, they require

learning for Gwinnett County Public Schools. The clarity wasnt very good, especially if you were viewing data from the back of the room. If teachers needed to display any detailed data, that required them to reserve and roll in a portable projector.
When youre looking at thousands of classrooms, that kind of maintenance burden is unfeasible. You have to move ladders into and out of classrooms when theyre empty
As we initiated our design review, based on our experiences with 27-inch monitors and our assessment of the technology direction, we knew that traditional monitors were not a feasible option going forward. We were reaching our tipping point with respect to digital learning. Many traditional library video and curriculum resources are now turning almost exclusively to digital formats. The right displays would make a signicant difference in the learning experience.

and thats an issue that no one wants to take on. I knew that if we required that level of maintenance, it would doom the project.
By contrast, we found that DLP projectors had no lters to replace or clean. In the aggregate, over a three-year period, this simple fact would result in huge savings in labor costs and eliminate those warranty concerns, and prevent us from saddling our local school IT teams with one more issue to deal with.
Comparing the technologies Ambitious deployment, enhanced classroom experience With a funding source allocated, thanks to a local one-cent sales tax, the school district's technology team undertook a careful evaluation of newer-generation display technologies, including at panels and projector-based technologies. They concluded that the minimum useful diagonal size for a at panel in the classroom would be at least 50 inches, probably more. When you factor in the often used 4x3 aspect ratio, a 42-inch or 47-inch display only equates to what youd get from a 32-inch TV monitor, explained LaHatte. Did we want to spend $2,000 per classroom for a 15-20 percent increase in image size? Not really. In 2007, Gwinnett County worked with TI partner Computrac Interactive Solutions, one of the nations largest provider's of audio-visual solutions to K-12 schools, to begin a deployment of 2,400 Mitsubishi XD 205 and XD 206 DLP projectors over a six month period, installing and implementing at a rate of 150 projectors per week. This installation process dovetailed with the larger technology retrot process underway across all Gwinnetts middle schools.

Forest Hill High School completes deployment of Mitsubishi DLP projectors in dozens of classrooms,
reducing maintenance, improving usability.
Forest Hill High School, Florida, a 9-12 school serving more than 1900 students in a district of over 168,000.
Challenge: Deploy display technology in every classroom to strengthen curriculum and reduce maintenance challenges.
Solution: 50 Mitsubishi XD430U DLP projectors that display on 100-inch screens, providing clarity and visibility from anywhere in the classroom.

A demonstrable three-year payback, sharper clarity, greater reliability, and an enhanced experience for faculty and students.
As the 11th largest school district in the United States, The School District of Palm Beach County (Fla.) has long been an aggressive adopter of classroom technologies that enhance the classroom experience for its 168,000 students. That's never been truer than in recent years, the district has embarked on an ambitious tech tools project to upgrade the technology across its 168 school sites.
According to Danny Brisson, technology coordinator, video display remains a key emphasis for the District. We start from the premise that there should be a video projector in every classroom, he said. So our standard for new and remodeled classrooms is to deploy a ceiling-mounted projector as part of the standard conguration. For years, each school has shared a handful of portable projectors among their classrooms. But that was becoming unacceptable. The devices were nearing the end of their useful life. The quality of the images was deteriorating. And everyone had grown tired of the scarcity of the devices as
Brisson then evaluated lter-free projectors with DLP technology from Texas Instruments.
Were also seeing a much better image both in static graphics and streaming video.
Danny Brisson, Technology Coordinator, Forest Hill High School
The lterless design was really appealing to us because we knew it would decrease maintenance costs and increase reliability. The DLP projectors clearly had a lower total cost of ownership and the quality of the image was excellent.

A rapid ROI

Partnering with Tony Rojas of Compu-Trac, Forest Hill Community High School began its deployment of 50 Mitsubishi XD430U projectors in its classrooms. The rst phase was done in January 2007. The administration was so pleased with the results, we rolled out the second-phase in May of 2008. These projectors have been in use for more than a year and are in half of our classrooms, he said. The feedback weve received has been very favorable. We did a simple ROI analysis and concluded that were achieving excellent savings as a result of the negligible maintenance costs and longer bulb life. We determined that our payback over the older LCD technology was less than three years.

they became more popular. We needed to get the cords off the oor and improve our use of the projectors. Were also seeing a much better image both in static graphics and streaming video. The ll factor is higher and contrasts are sharper, which makes the image much more viewable Balancing image quality maintenance demands from across the classroom. And the colors remain quite vivid, even a year later. Theres been no drop-off in the color or brightness. Working with Compu-Trac Interactive Solutions, the nations largest provider of audiovisual solutions to K-12 schools, Brisson evaluated various alternatives for classroom projection technology. Moving forward, Forest Hill Community High School will continue to work with Tony Rojas of Compu-Trac to complete its deployment across the entire facility. Were very happy to have selected Compu-Trac and DLP projectors for our classroom projection solution. Our decision revolved around several key principles, said Brisson. First and foremost, of course, we wanted to have a bright, colorful image. But we also knew that with their xed-mount locations we had to factor in the maintenance aspect. Reliability and a long life for the device were essential to the choice.
Typical LCD projectors, which the school was using, pass light through three LCD panels. All three panels must be cooled and using a fan is the only way to pass air across the panels. As a result lters are required to keep dust out of the optical system. Filters in LCD projectors typically must be cleaned or changed after 30 to 60 days.

XD430U

Our staff didnt know that our old LCD projectors were supposed to be cleaned, Brisson said. Bulb life was a problem. We knew that if these devices were mounted in the ceiling, theyd never get cleaned frequently enough. So, lters were not an attractive proposition for us.
