 1. Introduction

 Introduction to the Projector

This section introduces you to your new projector and describes the features and controls.

Features you’ll enjoy:

• Ultra short throw distances
Ultra short focal lenses provide for a larger image using a shorter throw distance when compared to a typical
projector lens.
UM361X/UM301X: Max 116.6" (UM351W/UM301W: Max 110"), throw distance: 51 cm/20 inches
(The throw distance refers to the distance between the screen and the screen side of the projector)
• Quick start (6 seconds*1), Quick Power Off, Direct Power Off
6 seconds*1 after turning on the power, the projector is ready to display PC or video images.
The projector can be put away immediately after the projector is powered down. No cool down period is required
after the projector is turned off from the remote control or cabinet control panel.
The projector has a feature called “Direct Power Off”. This feature allows the projector to be turned off (even when
projecting an image) by using the Main Power Switch or disconnecting the AC power supply.
To turn off the AC power supply when the projector is powered on, use a power strip equipped with a switch and
a breaker.
*1 The quick start time is only when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [NETWORK STANDBY] in the on-screen mes-
sage.
• 0.22W(100-130 V AC)/0.39W (200-240 V AC) in standby condition with energy saving technology
Selecting [NORMAL] for [STANDBY MODE] from the menu can put the projector in power-saving mode that con-
sumes only 0.22W(100-130 V AC)/0.39W (200-240 V AC).
• Carbon Meter
This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO
MODE] is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO].
The amount of CO2 emission reduction will be displayed in the confirmation message at the time of power-off and
in the INFO of the on-screen menu.
• Lamp life up to 8000 hours*2
Using in Eco Mode (ECO) allows you to prolong the projector’s lamp life up to 8000 hours (up to 4000 hours in
ECO MODE OFF).
*2 UM351W/UM361X: 6000 hours (up to 3800 hours in ECO MODE OFF)
• Two HDMI inputs supports digital signals
The two HDMI inputs provide HDCP compatible digital signals. The HDMI input also supports audio signal.
• Project the image on a smart phone and a tablet
Since the projector supports MHL (Mobile High-definition Link), it can project videos and photos on a smart phone
and a tablet terminal by connection, and output their sound from the built-in speaker.
• 20 W built-in speaker for an integrated audio solution
Powerful 20 watt monaural speaker provides volume need for large rooms.
• MIC Input provided
A MIC input jack for a commercially available dynamic microphone is useful for your presentation in a conference
room or lecture in a classroom.
• The optional interactive white board kit (NP04Wi, sold separately) and the projector can be used to convert
your whiteboard into a virtual touchscreen.
By the optional stylus pen, it's able to directly write-into the projected image that realizes more effective presenta-
tion and lecture.

 1. Introduction
• Correspond to various installation
Besides installation on the wall, it can correspond various installation as projecting image up onto the ceiling , onto
the table, and onto the floor, etc.
• The supplied remote control allows you to assign a CONTROL ID to the projector
Multiple projectors can be operated separately and independently with the same single remote control by assigning
an ID number to each projector.
• USB Display

Four brightness modes of the lamp can be selected: [OFF], [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL] and [ECO] modes.

[ECO MODE] Description Status of LAMP indicator

[OFF] The lamp brightness is 100%. Off
[AUTO ECO] Lamp power consumption will be changed between
[OFF] and [NORMAL] automatically according to
picture level
NOTE: A bright gradation may be less visible depending
on the image.

[NORMAL] Lamp power consumption: approx.80% brightness. Steady Green

The lamp life will extend by lowering the lamp light
power.
[ECO] Lamp power consumption (approx. 60% brightness).
The lamp life will extend longer than the one on
NORMAL mode by controlling power appropriate for
the lamp. The maximum power becomes equivalent
to the power in NORMAL.

To turn on the [ECO MODE], do the following:

1. Press the ECO Button on the remote control to display [ECO MODE] screen.
2. Press the ECO button again to select a mode you wish.
• Each time the ECO button is pressed, the choices will be changed:
OFF → AUTO ECO → NORMAL → ECO → OFF

TIP:
• The leaf symbol at the bottom of the menu shows the current selection of ECO mode.

 3. Convenient Features
NOTE:
• The [ECO MODE] can be changed by using the menu.
Select [SETUP] → [GENERAL] → [ECO MODE].
• The lamp life remaining and lamp hours used can be checked in [USAGE TIME]. Select [INFO.] →[USAGE TIME].
• The projector is always in [NORMAL] for 90 seconds after the lamp is turned on and while the POWER indicator is blinking green.
The lamp condition will not be affected even when [ECO MODE] is changed.
• After a lapse of 1 minute from when the projector displays no-signal guidance, a blue, black or logo screen, [ECO MODE] will
automatically switch to [ECO]. The projector will return to its original setting once a signal is accepted.
• If the projector is overheated in [OFF] mode, there may be a case where the [ECO MODE] automatically changes to [NORMAL]
mode to protect the projector. When the projector is in [NORMAL] mode, the picture brightness decreases. When the projector
comes back to normal temperature, the [ECO MODE] returns to its original setting.
Thermometer symbol [ ] indicates the [ECO MODE] is automatically set to [NORMAL] mode because the internal temperature
is too high.
• Immediately after [ECO MODE] is changed from [ECO] to one of [OFF], [AUTO ECO], or [NORMAL], the lamp brightness may
decrease temporarily. This is not a malfunction.

Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]

This feature will show energy-saving effect in terms of CO2 emission reduction (kg) when the projector’s [ECO MODE]
is set to [AUTO ECO], [NORMAL], or [ECO]. This feature is called as [CARBON METER].

There are two messages: [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] and [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION]. The [TOTAL CARBON
SAVINGS] message shows the total amount of CO2 emission reduction from the time of shipment up to now. You can
check the information on [USAGE TIME] from [INFO.] of the menu. (→ page 102)

The [CARBON SAVINGS-SESSION] message shows the amount of CO2 emission reduction between the time of
changing to ECO MODE immediately after the time of power-on and the time of power-off. The [CARBON SAVINGS-
SESSION] message will be displayed in the [POWER OFF/ ARE YOU SURE?] message at the time of power-off.

TIP:
• The formula as shown below is used to calculate the amount of CO2 emission reduction.
Amount of CO2 emission reduction = (Power consumption in OFF for ECO MODE − Power consumption in AUTO ECO/NORMAL/
ECO for ECO MODE) × CO2 conversion factor.* When the image is turned off with the AV-MUTE button, the amount of CO2 em-
mission reduction will also increase.
* Calculation for amount of CO2 emission reduction is based on an OECD publication “CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion, 2008
Edition”.
• The [TOTAL CARBON SAVINGS] is calculated based on savings recorded in 15 minutes intervals.
• This formula will not apply to the power consumption which is not affected by whether [ECO MODE] is turned on or off.

 6. Installation and Connections
NOTE: The projector is not compatible with video decoded outputs of the NEC ISS-6020 switcher.

NOTE: An image may not be displayed correctly when a Video source is played back via a commercially available scan converter.
This is because the projector will process a video signal as a computer signal at the default setting. In that case, do the following.
* When an image is displayed with the lower and upper black portion of the screen or a dark image is not displayed correctly:
Project an image to fill the screen and then press the AUTO ADJ. button on the remote control or the projector cabinet.
Enabling the computer’s external display
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display.
Usually, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on or off. For
example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through external display selections.

Cautions when using a DVI signal

• When the computer has a DVI output connector, use a commercially available converter cable to connect the com-
puter to the projector’s HDMI 1/MHL or HDMI 2 input connector (only digital video signals can be input).

NOTE: When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal

• Turn off the power of the computer and projector before connecting.
• When a video deck is connected via a scan converter, etc., the display may not be correct during fast-forwarding and rewind-
ing.
• Use a DVI-to-HDMI cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 stan-
dard.
The cable should be within 197"/5 m long.
• Turn off the projector and the PC before connecting the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
• To project a DVI digital signal: Connect the cables, turn the projector on, then select the HDMI input. Finally, turn on your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this happen,
restart your PC.
• Do not disconnect the DVI-to-HDMI cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then
reconnected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
• The COMPUTER video input connectors support Windows Plug and Play.
• A Mac signal adapter (commercially available) may be required to connect a Mac computer.

Common Problems & Solutions
(→ “Power/Status/Lamp Indicator” on page 131.)
Problem Check These Items
Does not turn on • Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the power button on the projector cabinet or the remote control
or shut down is on. (→ pages 13, 14)
• Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly. (→ page 127)
• Check to see if the projector has overheated. If there is insufficient ventilation around the projector or if the room
where you are presenting is particularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.
• Check to see if you continue to use the projector for another 100 hours after the lamp has reached the end of its
life. If so, replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hours used. (→ page 125)
• The lamp may fail to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on the power again.
• Set [FAN MODE] to [HIGH ALTITUDE] when using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters
or higher. Using the projector at altitudes approximately 5500 feet/1700 meters or higher without setting to [HIGH
ALTITUDE] can cause the projector to overheat and the projector could shut down. If this happens, wait a couple
minutes and turn on the projector. (→ page 94)
If you turn on the projector immediately after the lamp is turned off, the fans run without displaying an image for
some time and then the projector will display the image. Wait for a moment.
Will turn off • Ensure that the [OFF TIMER] or [AUTO POWER OFF] is off. (→ page 90, 97)

Problem Check These Items

Mic sound is not heard • Check if your microphone cable is connected to the MIC input jack correctly.
• Check if selection of microphone type in the installation menu is correct.
Mic sound is too loud • Adjust [MIC GAIN] from the menu. (→ page 94)
or quiet

For more information contact your dealer.

If there is no picture, or the picture is not displayed correctly.

• Power on process for the projector and the PC.

Be sure to connect the projector and notebook PC while the projector is in standby mode and before turning on
the power to the notebook PC.
In most cases the output signal from the notebook PC is not turned on unless connected to the projector before
being powered up.
NOTE: You can check the horizontal frequency of the current signal in the projector’s menu under Information. If it reads “0kHz”,
this means there is no signal being output from the computer. (→ page 103 or go to next step)
• Enabling the computer’s external display.
Displaying an image on the notebook PC’s screen does not necessarily mean it outputs a signal to the projector.
When using a PC compatible laptop, a combination of function keys will enable/disable the external display. Usu-
ally, the combination of the “Fn” key along with one of the 12 function keys gets the external display to come on
or off. For example, NEC laptops use Fn + F3, while Dell laptops use Fn + F8 key combinations to toggle through
external display selections.
• Non-standard signal output from the computer
If the output signal from a notebook PC is not an industry standard, the projected image may not be displayed
correctly. Should this happen, deactivate the notebook PC’s LCD screen when the projector display is in use. Each
notebook PC has a different way of deactivate/reactivate the local LCD screens as described in the previous step.
Refer to your computer’s documentation for detailed information.
• Image displayed is incorrect when using a Mac
When using a Mac with the projector, set the DIPswitch of the Mac adapter (not supplied with the projector) ac-
cording to your resolution. After setting, restart your Mac for the changes to take affect.
For setting display modes other than those supported by your Mac and the projector, changing the DIP switch on
a Mac adapter may bounce an image slightly or may display nothing. Should this happen, set the DIP switch to
the 13" fixed mode and then restart your Mac. After that, restore the DIP switches to a displayable mode and then
restart the Mac again.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Inc. is needed for a MacBook which does not have a mini D-Sub 15-pin
terminal.
• Mirroring on a MacBook
* When using the projector with a MacBook, output may not be set to 1024 × 768 unless “mirroring” is off on your
MacBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your Mac computer for mirroring.
• Folders or icons are hidden on the Mac screen
Folders or icons may not be seen on the screen. Should this happen, select [View] → [Arrange] from the Apple
menu and arrange icons.

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system
for preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI).
If you are unable to view material via the HDMI input, this does not necessarily mean the projector is not functioning properly. With
the implementation of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed
due to the decision/intention of the HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).

 TCO Certification
Some models in this product family are TCO certified. All TCO certified models have the TCO mark on the marking
plate (on the bottom of the product). To see a list of our TCO certified projectors and their TCO Certification (in English
only), visit our website at http://www.nec-display.com/ap/en_projector/tco/index.html
The TCO certification, designed by TCO Development, is an international environmental and ergonomics standard
for IT equipment.
In some cases we may post a list of TCO certified models on our website before the TCO mark is placed on the prod-
uct. This difference in timing is related to the date certification is received compared with the projectors manufacturing
date.
