SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Lamp Handling Precautions
This projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp which must be handled carefully and
correctly as mentioned below.
z A lamp may explode with a loud sound or burn out due to a shock, scratch, or use
beyond its expiry date.
z The lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the usage environment.
There is no guarantee that all lamps will last for the same period of time. Some lamps
may fail in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
z A lamp gradually becomes darker over time.
z If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced (i.e., the LAMP REPLACE
indicator lights up twice), the chances of an explosion increase. Replace the lamp with
a new one immediately if such is the case.
z Always keep your face away from the exhaust vent so that you are not injured from the
gas and broken lamp shards.
Carrying/Transporting the Projector
z This projector is a precision machine. Do not subject the projector to strong shocks or
vibrations or turn it down.
z Install the lens cap to protect the lens and put the projector in the carrying bag to pro-
tect it from dust and scratches on the surface of it when you carry the projector.
z Do not put the projector in the carrying bag until the cooling fan stops rotating. The pro-
jector may be damaged due to the heat.
z The carrying bag is not designed to protect the projector from external shocks. When
carrying the projector with it put in the carrying bag, do not give a shock to it, drop it, or
place anything on it. The projector may be damaged or malfunctioned.
z Do not transport the projector through a courier or transport service with the carrying
bag. Put the projector in an impact-resistant transport case if such is the case.
If a Lamp Explodes
If a lamp explodes, gas and broken shards may scatter inside the projector and
may come out of the exhaust vent. The gas contains toxic mercury. Open
windows and doors for ventilation. If you inhale the gas or the shards of the
broken lamp contact your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor immediately.
If a lamp explodes, its shards may scatter inside the projector. Ask the Canon
service representative to clean and check the inside of the projector and
replace the lamp.
Disposal of Waste Lamp
Dispose of the projectors mercury lamp according to local regulations just like
the fluorescent lamps.

screen. Select the place where the desired image size is obtained according to the illustra-
tion shown below.
H1 and H2: The height of the screen from the intersection of optical axis and screen surface when an
image is projected at right angle to the screen.
z Install the projector at the position where the projection distance is between approxi-
mately 1.2 m (3.9') to 9 m (29.5'). If the installation position is too close or too far, the
image is out of focus or the screen becomes dark, respectively.

MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Cleaning the Projector
Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from settling on the surface.
A dirty lens may ruin the quality of the projected image.
Wipe the projector's main unit softly with a soft cloth.
If the projector is heavily soiled, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of detergent in
it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the projector with it. After cleaning, wipe the
projector with a dry cloth.
Caution
z The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the pro-
jector cools down sufficiently before cleaning the projector. Otherwise, you may get
burned or injured.
z Before cleaning the projector, be sure to remove the power plug from the AC outlet.
Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
Caution
z Never use volatile cleaning liquid or benzine, as these may damage the finish of the
projector. When using a chemical dust cloth, make sure to read the instructions thor-
oughly.
z When cleaning the projector's lens, use a commonly available air blower or lens
cleaning paper. The lens surface is easily damaged, so do not use a hard cloth or tis-
sues.
When Not Used for an Extended Period of Time
Be sure to attach the lens cap on the lens and store in the supplied carrying bag.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Replacing the Air Filter
An air filter is installed in the air intake vent on the bottom of the main body to protect the
internal lens and mirror from dust. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the pro-
jector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raises the inter-
nal temperature of the projector.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Turn the projector upside down, remove the cover by pushing the latch, remove the air fil-
ter, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner.
When cleaning dust off the side exhaust vent and the bottom air intake vent, bring the vac-
uum cleaner nozzle close to them directly.
Replacing the Air Filter
1 Turn off the projector, remove the power
plug from the AC outlet, and let the pro-
jector stand for at least 1 hour.
2 Remove the filter cover by pushing the
position of the arrow.
3 Remove the air filter.
4 Install a new air filter.
5 Install the filter cover securely without any
space.
Caution
z The main unit is very hot immediately after turning off the projector. Wait until the pro-
jector cools down sufficiently before cleaning the projector. Otherwise, you may get
burned or injured.
z Before cleaning or replacing the air filter, be sure to remove the power plug from the
AC outlet. Otherwise, electric shock or fire may result.
z Do not insert any object into the projector through the air filter opening. You may suffer
electric shock or injury due to the high-voltage parts or rotating parts.
z Clean the air filter frequently.
z After cleaning the air filter, install it by following the removal steps in reverse.
z Attach the lens cap when replacing the air filter.
z Handle the air filter carefully. If damaged, the air filter will not work appropriately.
z Replace the air filter whenever you replace the lamp.
z An air filter can be ordered from your dealer.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms and Solutions
You cannot turn on the projector.
You cannot project an image from the projector.
Cause Countermeasure
The power cord is not connected
correctly.
Check whether the power cord is connected correctly (P35).
The power cord has just been con-
nected.
You cannot turn on the projector until the [POWER] indicator
turns red after connecting the power plug (P35).
You attempted to turn on the pro-
jector immediately after turning it
off.
The projector cannot be turned on for a while after it is turned
off. Wait for a while before pressing the [POWER] button again
(P53).
The safety device has activated
because you put the projector in
the carrying bag during the cooling
fan was rotating.
You cannot release the safety device. Contact your dealer.
The safety device is activated
because the air intake or the
exhaust vent is blocked and the
internal temperature of the projec-
tor is increased.
You cannot release the safety device for safety reasons. Con-
tact your dealer.
Cause Countermeasure
Any connection cable is connected
incorrectly.
Check whether the projector is connected to the computer or
AV equipment correctly (P32, 56).
20 seconds have not passed since
the projector was turned on.
When the projector is turned on, the Opening window is dis-
played for approximately 20 seconds. To project an image
immediately, press the [OK] button on the remote control or
top control (P35).
No image is sent from the AV
equipment.
Check that an image is played on the connected digital cam-
era, video camcorder, DVD, etc.
The wrong video terminal or signal
type is selected.
Check that the correct video terminal and signal type are
selected (P43, 61).
The [NO SHOW] function has been
selected.
Press the [NO SHOW] button on the remote control (P66).
No image is sent due to the prob-
lem in the computer.
Turn on the projector and computer in this order again.
Projector_E.book Page 113 Thursday, April 20, 2006 7:11 PM
114
TROUBLESHOOTING
You cannot hear sound.
The projected image is blur.
You cannot project an image appropriately.
Cause Countermeasure
The audio cable is not connected
correctly.
Check the cable connection of the audio cable (P34).
The [MUTE] function is enabled. Press the [MUTE] button on the remote control (P66).
The volume level is adjusted to the
minimum.
Press the [VOL+] button on the remote control or top control to
adjust the volume level (P67).
An audio cable with a built-in resis-
tor is used.
Use an audio cable without a built-in resistor.
Cause Countermeasure
The image is out of focus. Adjust the focus (P46).
The lens cap is not removed. Remove the lens cap.
The distance to the screen is too
short.
Check whether the distance to the screen is appropriate. If the
distance is shorter than approximately 1.2 m (3.9'), the projec-
tor cannot focus on the screen (P28, 119).
The projector is not placed straight
in front of the screen.
Check whether the projector is placed obliquely to the screen.
A slight error in the projection angle can be corrected through
the keystone adjustment function (P38, 47).
The projector has been moved to a
place where the temperature varies
a lot.
When the projector is moved from a low-temperature place to
a high-temperature place, condensation may form on the lens.
The condensation will evaporate a while later and the projec-
tor will be able to project a normal image.
The lens is stained. Clean up the lens (P106).
Cause Countermeasure
The projected image is inverted in
the vertical or horizontal direction.
The ceiling mounted/rear projection setting is incorrect. Check
the [Image flip H/V] setting in the [Display settings] menu

TROUBLESHOOTING
You cannot project an image from a notebook computer.
The projector is forced to be turned off.
Cause Countermeasure
The connection cable is not con-
nected correctly.
Check whether the connection cable is connected to the
video terminal of the computer correctly (P32, 33).

Glossary
6-axis Color Adjustment (P94)
The color adjustment function for an
advanced user. You can adjust color bal-
ance and color level for 6 axis of RGB (red/
green/blue) and CMY (cyan/magenta/yel-
low) of the projected image to make a fine
color adjustment. You can perform the 6-
axis color adjustment in the image adjust-
ment menu.
AdobeRGB (P50, 89)
A color space specification set up by
Adobe systems Incorporated which is
applied to high performance digital
cameras, displays and others. You can
project an image with more accurate color
reproduction since Its has wider color
gamut than sRGB. In SX6, if you select
[AdobeRGB] in the [Image mode] setting,
the projector can project the best-quality
image conforming to the AdobeRGB
Standard. Please be aware that color of
the projected image may vary with that of
the original image if you project an
AdobeRGB compatible image in sRGB
mode or project an sRGB compatible
image in AdobeRGB mode.
Analog PC (P25, 32, 81)
A signal system used to send analog sig-
nal information of R (red), G (green), and B
(blue). It is a typical system for connecting
a color monitor to a computer. Connect the
analog PC output terminal on the computer
and Input Terminal-1 or Input Terminal-2 on
this projector with a monitor cable. Select
[ANALOG PC-1] for Input Terminal-1 and
[ANALOG PC-2] for Input Terminal-2 at
projection.
Component (P25, 56, 80)
A signal system used to send a color sig-
nal (C) with it divided into a B-Y color dif-
ference signal and an R-Y color difference
signal. This system can project a better-
quality image as compared with the com-
posite signal system. Connect the compo-
nent video terminal on the AV equipment
and the Input Terminal-2 on this projector
with a component cable. Select [COMPO-
NENT] at projection.
Composite (P25, 58)
A video signal system used to send a
brightness signal (Y) and a color signal (C)
together. Connect the composite output
(RCA) terminal on the AV equipment and
the VIDEO IN terminal on this projector
with a video cable. Select [VIDEO] at pro-
jection.
Digital PC (P25, 33)
A signal system used to send digital infor-
mation of individual display dots. This sys-
tem is free from deterioration of image
quality because of no analog conversion.
Connect the DVI output terminal on the
computer and Input Terminal-1 on this pro-
jector with a DVI connection cable. Select
[DIGITAL PC] at projection.
DVI (P33, 43, 57, 61)
A digital video signal connection interface
for a computer and AV equipment. This
interface allows digital data to be transmit-
ted without converting to analog data,
assuring high image quality with no signal
degradation. The DVI-I (integrated) con-
nector can be used to transmit both an
analog video signal and digital video sig-
nal.

APPENDIX
Gamma Correction (P91, 93)
A tone adjustment system used during
projection of image data. The gamma cor-
rection function works effectively when
portions of an image are obscure because
they are too light or dark.
This projector supports manual gamma
correction and dynamic gamma correction
which performs the gamma correction
automatically.
HDCP (P57, 61)
An abbreviation of High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection which is an encryption
technology for copy protection of digital
image signals. In SX6/SX60/X600, you can
project digital contents copy-protected
with the HDCP technology. To project the
contents, connect the Input Terminal-1 on
the projector and an HDMI terminal or DVI
terminal on an AV equipment with a dedi-
cated cable, and then select [DIGITAL
VIDEO] from the [INPUT] menu.
HDMI (P57, 61)
A digital video signal connection interface
for an AV equipment. Its terminal is more
compact than the DVI terminal. It allows to
transmit video and audio signals simulta-
neously.
Memorized Color Correction (P93)
A memorized color is a color in our mem-
ory. The memorized color such as blue for
the sky is more vivid than the real color, so
you may feel colors of a projected image
are dull. If such is the case, enable the
memorized color correction function to
make the colors close to the ones in our
memory. You can enable the memorized
color correction function in the image
adjustment menu.
Progressive (P84)
An image display system used to display
the entire screen per scan. For an interlace
signal (video signal) that displays one
screen by two scans (one for odd lines
and one for even lines) is input, progres-
sive processing is required. When the pro-
gressive function is turned off, one screen
is displayed using image signals per inter-
lace signal, deteriorating the vertical reso-
lution of the image. When the progressive
function is turned on, one screen is dis-
played using image signals per two inter-
lace signals, improving the vertical
resolution of the image. Turn off the pro-
gressive function when flickering and hori-
zontal lines are noticeable on a fast-
moving picture.
Resolution (P39, 79)
The number of dots (horizontal dots x verti-
cal dots) that can be displayed on a com-
puter is called “resolution of display”.
Resolution indicates the size of the display
area (amount of information).
If you select SXGA+ (1400 dots x 1050
dots) as the display resolution for the con-
necting computer, this projector can
project high-resolution images. If your
computer does not have the SXGA+
option, select the maximum resolution
among the selectable options.

sRGB (P50, 89)
An international standard of color repre-
sentation (color space) which is applied to
general digital cameras, displays and oth-
ers. In SX6/SX60/X600, if you select
[sRGB] in the [Image mode] setting, the
projector can project the best-quality
image conforming to the sRGB Standard.
S-video (P25, 57, 80)
A signal system (YC separation signal)
used to send a brightness signal (Y) and
color signal (C) separately. Connect the S-
video terminal on the AV equipment and
the S-VIDEO IN terminal on this projector
with an S-video cable. Select [S-VIDEO] at
projection.
Video (P25, 58, 80)
An output terminal widely used in an AV
equipment. It is also called as a composite
output terminal (pin terminal or RCA termi-
nal). For more details, refer to "Composite".
