Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 22.5 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet). Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
Positioning your projector Choosing a location Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1.
Obtaining a preferred projected image size The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the video format each factors in the projected image size. The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).
Projection dimensions Refer to "Dimensions" on page 93 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.

Connection When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to: 1. 2. 3. Turn all equipment off before making any connections. Use the correct signal cables for each source. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted. • In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores. • For detailed connection methods, see pages 22-26.
1. Audio cable 7. USB cable (mini-B to type A) 2. Microphone 3.5 mini jack cable 8. Audio L/R cable 3. VGA cable 9. Video cable 4. VGA to DVI-A cable 10. S-Video cable 5. HDMI cable 11. Component Video to VGA (DSub) adapter cable 6. USB cable (type B to type A) 12. USB flash drive/hard disk drive/wireless dongle/keyboard/mouse Computer system requirements for USB display:: Operation System Requirements Minimum Hardware Requirements Windows XP Supports USB 2.
Connecting a computer or monitor Connecting a computer The projector can connect to both IBM® compatibles and Macintosh® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers. To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer (using VGA): 1. 2. 3. 4. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER-1 or COMPUTER2 signal input jack on the projector.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer (using HDMI): 1. 2. Take a HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI jack of the computer. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI-1 or HDMI-2 jack on the projector. • Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook.
Connecting Video source devices You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.
• In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector's HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See "Changing Color Space" on page 37 for details. Connecting a Component Video source device Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output jacks available: • • If so, you can continue with this procedure.
Connecting an S-Video/composite source device Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video/composite output jack available: • • • If it has both jacks, use the S-Video output jack for connection as the S-Video terminal provides better picture quality than the Video terminal. If it has either of the output jack, you can also continue with this procedure. If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
Operation Starting up the projector 1. Plug the power cord into the projector and into a power outlet.
