USER GUIDE 5.3 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR GLOSSARY Take a closer look at the LCD projector itself. The following terms are used throughout this user guide to identify the different parts of the LCD projector, or to refer to certain ancillary items.
USER GUIDE 6 6.1 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Switch off all equipment before connecting together the various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching a metallic surface before you start. Do not cover the ventilation grills in front and on top of the projector housing, as this will prevent cooling.
USER GUIDE 6.2 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR ARRANGEMENTS IN THE PROJECTION ROOM Place the LCD projector on a table, or other stable hard surface, at the distance required to give the desired size of projected image on the wall. The image should be projected onto a flat surface screen with high reflectivity to get a bright and undistorted image. The best viewing results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct sunlight shining in.
USER GUIDE 6.3 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR SELECTING ADDITIONAL ADAPTERS AND CABLES The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computer and video sources, utilizing many different connectors. To be able to connect to these various sources, a set of cables and cable adapters are provided. 6.3.1 FOR YOUR COMPUTER SOURCE The projector is supplied with one VGA type and one BNC type cable. Optionally, adapter kits for Macintosh and 13W3 type computers are available.
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR S-video is connected using an optional cable. S-video can potentially provide better video quality, as the color and luminance signals are separate. Composite video, where the two signals are superimposed, yields less resolution in image detail. For RGB video, use the VGA or BNC cable. RGB should potentially yield the best video signals, since the primary colors are completely separate. 6.3.
USER GUIDE 6.4 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR MAKING THE CABLE CONNECTIONS 1. Place the projector on a stable, hard surface at the desired distance from the projection screen. 2. Connect the computer source equipment to the computer connector port of the LCD projector: - PC: Insert the end of the VGA cable marked ‘LCD’into the COMPUTER connector port on the LCD projector. Connect the connector marked ‘Monitor’onto your monitor cable, and the connector marked ‘VGA’, into the VGA port on the PC unit.
USER GUIDE 6.5 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS The infrared remote control is the main user interface by which the device settings are adjusted. The remote control keys are used to adjust the settings of the LCD projector correctly, either directly or through the menu system, so as to achieve the best possible viewing conditions. Set-up should be performed once with the source(s) you are using most frequently. Allow some minutes for the unit to warm up before adjusting the settings.
USER GUIDE TUNE SCALE POSITION CONTR XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR OPERATION • Select TUNING in the MENU. • Adjust the tuning using the trackball to stabilize the image. Preferably all the “sideways swimming” lines should be removed (see illustration). • If your computer source resolution is not exactly 1024x768, you can select SCALE. This will scale the source resolution to fit the LCD screen resolution by adjusting the number of vertical and horizontal pixel lines at intervals throughout the image.
USER GUIDE BRIGHT XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR OPERATION • Adjust using the brightness up/down keys for local lighting conditions. The procedure for video sources is similar to that for the computer sources as described above, except for TUNE which is not required. Follow the same procedure using a video which is colorful, or at least bright, across the width of the image instead of a 50% grey background as described here for computer sources.
USER GUIDE 7 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA 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 TRACKBALL REMOTE CONTROL The trackball remote control is the main user interface with the projector.
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR The MEM column indicates whether the function setting is memorized for the source apparatus for future use. KEY RESET ON/OFF CONTR BRIGHT VOLUME FREEZE COMPUTER VIDEO S-VIDEO MASK FUNCTION Defaults to the standard settings for the active mode. Turns off the light, and places the projector in standby mode. Contrast is the ratio between light and dark colors. Brightness (whiteness) of the image can be altered to suit local lighting conditions.
USER GUIDE KEY SCALE PAN PROG POINTER LIGHT MENU TRACKBALL LEFT KEY RIGHT KEY BOTTOM KEY XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR FUNCTION Selects direct 1:1 mapping or scaling of images. Scaling not applicable in 1024 x 768 mode. Allows panning within oversized images using the trackball. Use the trackball to show different areas of the image. This key may be programmed to one of the menu controls. Applies a trackball controlled pointer to the screen.
USER GUIDE 7.2 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR TOP PANEL KEYBOARD A reduced set of controls are available from the keyboard on the top of the LCD projector. The controls are TUNE, BRIGHTNESS and RESET. See the infrared remote control chapter for detailed descriptions of each control. 7.3 THE MENU SYSTEM The menu system was developed to gain access to functions not often used, as opposed to frequently used features that are directly available through the remote control.
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR POSITION. Due to minor variations in graphic cards, the horizontal and vertical position may need adjustment. Select POSITION, then press LEFT and use the trackball. VGA text mode (720 x 400) is correctly displayed when the image is positioned correctly. REAR inverts the image for use in rear projection arrangements i.e. projection from the back of a screen. This setting is not memorized. The feature is switched on or off by selecting it from the menu.
USER GUIDE 7.3.4 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR THE OPTIONS SELECTIONS HIDE OSD switches the on screen echoing of controls on and off. This setting only affects the direct control operations, not the menu system. This setting is not memorized. CHANNEL SEARCH is a toggle function that controls whether the projector shall automatically switch to the next source when the current source is switched off or removed. Manual source selection is maintained in both modes as long as signals are present.
USER GUIDE 8 8.1 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR LCD PROJECTOR 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 until the unit has cooled down 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 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR RESET This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only reset the active mode. A factory reset may be performed in the menu system. All settings will return to factory defaults, so do not perform a factory reset unless it is really required. This operation will also erase all custom sources and modes that have been memorized.
USER GUIDE 9 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR CEILING MOUNTING The projector is prepared for ceiling mounting. As opposed to desktop use (most tables are approximately 80 cm tall, are flat and have a hard surface finish), ceilings vary in height and material. Also considerations must be made with respect to signal and power wiring. 9.1 SELECTING A MOUNT Various mounting systems are available from different sources. Contact your dealer for further details or consult vendor catalogs.
USER GUIDE 9.3 XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR WIRING Ceiling mounted projectors require long signal and power wires. The signals should be wired using high quality coaxial cable. The cables usually need to be customized. Some vendors have specialized in this field. Contact your dealer for further detail. If the signal cables run over a longer distance from the source to the projector, a line buffer (distribution amplifier) may be needed (available from third party vendors).
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR 10 TROUBLE-SHOOTING This is a checklist to help you pinpoint any problem that may arise. Check the symptoms carefully if you experience any problem.
