3.1 Precautions
This section describes cautions before starting disassembling and assembling this
product. Make sure to read the precautions below before starting.
3.1.1 General Cautions in operation

General cautions for disassembling and assembling this product are provided below.
Cautions for each procedure are provided in its corresponding section. Make sure to
refer to them before starting.
Do not touch the lamp or the parts around it. They are extremely hot even
after the cooling down operation completed. If any maintenance work inside
the projector is necessary soon after the projector is in operation, leave the
unit until it becomes cool enough before performing maintenance work.
Never use the air blowers such as a lens cleaner, etc. that contain flammable
gas in repair/maintenance work.
When carrying out any of the following operations, check that there is no
dust or dirt on any component or on any glass surface before installation. If
any contamination is found, clean it off using isopropyl alcohol.
Optical Engine removal
Lamp removal
When the projector is disassembled, the dust in and around parts (such as
those on the fans or air filter) may get transferred to other parts such as the
R, G and B light valves which are the central part of the display mechanism.
This may have an adverse effect on the quality of projected images.
Accordingly, be sure to check whether any of the parts are dusty or dirty,
and use a vacuum cleaner to clean them first before carrying out
disassembly/reassembly work.
After reassembling the product, check the followings before turning the
power on.
All the parts and screws are installed and secured to the proper positions.
No cables are caught in the metal frames.
Do not disassemble any components not as specified in this Service Manual.

The Optical Engine, the circuit boards are very sensitive to static electricity;
therefore, be sure to take appropriate measures to prevent static destruction
such as to place them inside static-proof bags once they have been removed
from the projector.
The Optical Engine is very sensitive to vibration and shocks; therefore,
make sure to handle it with care.
The speaker unit contains a permanent magnet; therefore, make sure to
keep it away from any storage media such as floppy disks or magnetic cards.
Be careful not to drop a metal part such as a screw, a washer, or a clip into
the inside of the product. If such cases should occur accidentally, never turn
on the power supply until all the dropped parts are found and removed.

3.1.2 Precautions
3.1.3 Workflow
The precautions given below must be always observed whenever disassembling/

reassembling the projector to ensure the safety of service personnel and maintain the
quality.
CONFIDENTIAL
Disassembly
Disassemble the product
following the given instructions.
Do not wear the metal products such as a wrist watch, cuff buttons, rings,
tie-pin etc. to avoid getting into an unsafe state due to touching the
projector.
When disassembling/assembling the projector, be sure to turn off the power
switch and pull out the power cable from the projector beforehand.
Repair/Maintenance
Perform the repair and cleaning,
etc.
Reassembly
Unless otherwise specified,
reassembly is the reverse of
the disassembly procedure.
When disassembling/assembling the projector, be sure to wear the gloves

and static discharge equipment such as an anti-static wrist strap and a mat.
When replacing the circuit component such as a board or the optical engine,
be sure to contact the anti-static case containing the new one to the metal
part of this product before taking it out.
Disconnect all the interface cables from the projector.
Before disassembling the projector, make sure to clean dust or dirt on the
air filter, the interface section and outer cases using a vacuum cleaner or the
like.
When carrying out repair or

maintenance of a safety device.
Safety Check after servicing

Refer to Safety Check after
servicing(p.101), and carry out
the required safety checks.

When connecting the R/G/B Light Valve cables to the MA Board, make sure
to insert the cables securely into the connectors to the end and lock the
connectors. If there is a loose connection such as a half-way or slant
connection, it may cause short-circuiting, or malfunction.
The MA Board is very sensitive to static electricity; therefore, be sure to
take appropriate measures (wearing an anti-static wrist strap) as described
at the beginning of this chapter to prevent static destruction.

In this projectors case, when either of the Optical Engine or the Main Board is broken, you can replace the broken Optical Engine or MA Board alone if you carry out the following
procedure. In this case (a new combination of them), you will write the DR data adjusted for the characteristics of the Optical Engine (current or replaced) into the newly-combined
MA Board according to the specified procedure. This section describes the specific repair process including how to write the DR data.

PROCEDURE FOR CHECK IN ADVANCE
This check inspects the Optical Engine and the MA Board to specify the current trouble
is occurring either in the Optical Engine or in the MA Board.
Checking the Engines S/N

1. Write down the serial number (11digits) on the label attached on the Optical
Engine.

Take care not to mistake the numbers such as 6 for 5 because

of the font used for the serial number of the Optical Engine. Some
numbers are easily mistaken.

Make sure the group is correct since even among the same
model projectors, various MA Boards may be used.
Even if 3-digit number; HHH of serial number indicated on a
label attached to the optical engine; FYMHHHNNNN, is
different, this engine can be used as the same type of optical
engine as long as the parts compatibility is maintained.

4.1 Precautions
4.1.1 General Cautions in operation
General cautions for disassembling and assembling this product are provided below.
Cautions for each procedure are provided in its corresponding section. Make sure to
refer to them before starting.
If the image quality is not improved even if the troubled optical parts are
replaced, replace the optical engine with a new one.
When reassembling, make sure to install the removed optical parts in the
original locations.
Do not remove the screws (x4) around the Projection Lens shown in figure
below. After these screws are installed, the engine is optically adjusted.
Removing them may misalign the adjustment.
Do not touch the lamp or the parts around it. They are extremely hot even after
completed the cooling down operation, and may cause a burn injury. Therefore,
leave the unit until it becomes cool enough before performing maintenance
work.
Projection Lens
Screws
When operating the inside of the optical engine, make sure to follow the
instructions given in this chapter.
When disassembling the optical engine, make sure to choose a location with
less influence from dirt and dust.
If there is dirt or dust intruding inside the optical engine, you can clean it by
air-blowing or the like. However; make sure to avoid such cleaning in the
same location for disassembling/repairing the optical engine.
Do not remove any parts except the exchangeable parts shown in this
chapter.
The optical parts secured by adhesive-bonding cannot be replaced;
therefore, if replacing such parts is necessary, replace the optical engine.
When disassembling the optical engine, take care not to damage the parts
attached on the Upper Light Guide Assy.
If you should touch and contaminate an optical parts, clean the part using
ethanol.
