USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR 6. Apply mains power to the various items of source equipment. Your LCD projector is now fully connected up. Before use for your presentation, refer to the next section on Image Adjustments to attain the highest quality of projected image. 6.5 IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS The infrared remote control is the main user interface by which the device settings are adjusted.
USER GUIDE FREQ LCD PROJECTOR OPERATION • With data from a source displayed on-screen, set the background to a chequered pattern 50% grey (direct mode 1:1 uncompressed). • If the frequency is set wrongly, vertical unstable bands will be visible in the image (see illustration). • Adjust with the frequency right/left keys to remove all the vertical bands (see illustration). TUNE • Adjust the tuning up/down keys to stabilize the image.
USER GUIDE POSITION CONTR BRIGHT LCD PROJECTOR OPERATION • Select POSITION. • Adjust using the cursor keys until the full image lies within the viewing area (see illustration). • Adjust using the contrast up/down arrow keys for optimum image quality • Adjust using the brightness up/down arrow keys for local lighting conditions. Your LCD projector is now fully set up and ready for use.
USER GUIDE 7 LCD PROJECTOR USING THE LCD PROJECTOR The LCD projector has a set of features and functions with which you need to be familiar with in order to operate the unit efficiently and to allow you to make a smooth, problem-free presentation. 7.1 INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL The infrared remote control is the main user interface with the projector. The remote control is used to set the LCD projector correctly so that the best viewing conditions are achieved, and also to control your presentation.
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR The MEM column indicates whether the function setting is memorized for the source apparatus for future use. KEY CONTR BRIGHT TUNE ON/OFF RESET SOURCE 1 SOURCE 2 SOURCE 3 FUNCTION Contrast is the ratio between light and dark colors. Low contrast is recommended for long-term viewing, while high contrast is used to enhance details. Brightness (whiteness) of the image can be altered to suit local lighting conditions. Usually a bright, low contrast image is preferred.
USER GUIDE KEY FREEZE BLANK REAR FREQ POSITION LCD PROJECTOR FUNCTION Holds the image projected on the screen. This feature can be used to hide actions on the computer that the audience need not see, such as changes between software packages, or for returning the audience’s attention back to the presenter! Turns the screen white. Mirrors the image for use when the LCD projector is incorporated into rear projection systems. This setting is not routinely changed by the user.
USER GUIDE KEY SCALE PAN OSD CURSORS RIGHT DRAG LEFT LCD PROJECTOR FUNCTION Selects direct 1:1 mapping or scaling of images. Allows panning within oversized images using the cursor keys. Use the cursor keys to show different areas of the image based on each of the four corners. Displays the On-Screen Display (OSD) information at the foot of the screen. The four cursor keys simulate the actions of the desktop mouse to control the computer cursor. Emulates the right mouse key.
USER GUIDE 7.2 LCD PROJECTOR TOP PANEL KEYBOARD The settings most likely to be adjusted during the set-up process are also accessible via a secondary keyboard panel on the top of the LCD projector, known as the Top Panel Keyboard. The Power ON/OFF Indicator is also located on this panel. The panel layout is shown below. The buttons function exactly as the corresponding remote control keys, with the exception of TUNE which uses a single button to adjust settings in a wrap-around scale.
USER GUIDE 8 8.1 LCD PROJECTOR SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR LCD PROJECTOR INTELLIGENT COOLING SYSTEM The fan operates as long as the LCD projector is switched on. Provided that the power cord is connected, the fan continues to run for 2 minutes even after the unit has been switched off. This ensures a continuous protection against high temperature inside the projector. The cooling system is designed to minimize stray light and noise.
USER GUIDE 8.4 LCD PROJECTOR RESET This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only reset the active mode. A fundamental master reset may be performed by pressing all four top panel keys simultaneously. All settings will return to factory defaults, so do not perform a master reset unless it is really required. This operation will also erase all custom sources and modes that have been memorized. 8.
USER GUIDE 9 LCD PROJECTOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING This is a checklist to help you pinpoint any problem that may arise. Check the symptoms carefully if you experience any problem. The cure may be at your fingertips! Always check that the OSD appears when the OSD key on the remote control is pressed. This indicates that the LCD projector is receiving signals from the remote control.
USER GUIDE SYMPTOM Some colors are unstable or flickering The whole image appears to be unstable or misplaced Cooling fan is not working The remote control mouse is not working The desktop mouse is not working LCD PROJECTOR SOLUTION • Check first that there are no loose cable connections. • You can try to adjust the image quality with the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS keys. • Try to improve the tuning using the TUNE key. • Press SCALE to return to the default mode.
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR 10 MAINTENANCE 10.1 GENERAL From time to time, the LCD projector unit and lens may be cleaned with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove dust and dirt spots. The lens should be cleaned with a mild dish-washing detergent solution, or with standard lens cleaning solutions available from a photographic dealer. Do not scratch the lens surface and use the lens cap for added protection when the projector is not in use.
USER GUIDE 10.3 LCD PROJECTOR LAMP REPLACEMENT MESSAGES When the time is due to replace the lamp, the projector will give you one of the two following messages on the screen. WARNING! Lamp has less than 50 hours left of recommended burning time Please change lamp! Press any key to clear this message... The lamp has only 50 hours burning time left, and should be changed. Remember that you can check accumulated lamp usage each time the projector is switched on.
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR If the lamp timer is accidentally reset before the lamp has reached expected lifetime, or the lamp is changed before it is required and reset the timer, the warning below appears. This leaves you with two alternatives which are both described in the next paragraphs. WARNING! The lamp change indicator has been activated, though the lamp has not reached expected lifetime. Press RESET to confirm lamp change, or press any other key to continue...
USER GUIDE 10.4 LCD PROJECTOR FUSE REPLACEMENT The mains fuse is located at the mains input, as an integral part of the connector and switch assembly (See the figure).
