Turn on the power to any equipment connected to the projector. 7. Press the Power button on the remote control or the top of the projector. Green note The projector will not respond to any buttons on the control panel or remote control while the power light is flashing orange or green. warning Never look into the lens when the lamp is on.
8. Press the Play button on your video source to start your video (if necessary). 9. If you’ve connected more than one video and/or computer source, you may need to select a different source. Press the Source button on the projector or one of the Input buttons on the remote control. (See “Switching Between Picture Sources” on page 11 for more information.) If you’re projecting from a computer, and you see a New Hardware Wizard message saying that it has found a plug-and-play monitor, click Cancel.
Switching Between Picture Sources If your projector is connected to more than one video source, you can use the buttons on the control panel or remote control to switch between the different sources. On the projector’s control panel, press the Source button to display the currently selected source. Press it again quickly to switch. Continue pressing the button until the name of the source you want is displayed on the screen. .
Adjusting the Image Once you see your image, you’ll need to make certain adjustments: ■ If the image is too high or too low, you can reposition it as described below. ■ To focus or zoom your image, see page 13. ■ If the image isn’t square, see page 14. ■ To select a different color mode, see page 16. ■ To change the aspect ratio, see page 17. ■ If the projected image is flickering or “noisy,” see page 19.
3. If you need to straighten the image, rotate the round adjustable foot at the back of the projector. If the image is no longer square after raising it, see page 14. Focusing and Zooming Your Image The size of your projected image is determined mainly by the distance between the projector and the screen, but you can also use the zoom ring to enlarge or reduce the image. note To determine how far the projector should be from the screen, see “Screen Size and Projection Distances” on page 77.
Adjusting the Image Shape If the projector is raised in the front or the back, like this: your projected image may not be square or rectangular; it may have a “keystone” shape like one of the examples shown below. To correct this, hold down the Shift button on the projector’s control panel and press the top or bottom Keystone button until the corners of the image are square. After correction, your image will be slightly smaller.
Displaying a Test Pattern You can display a test pattern before or during projection to adjust the focus, correct keystone distortion, and select the best light and dark shades. Follow these steps: 1. Press the Pattern button on the remote control or the projector’s control panel. You see the Crosshatch pattern: 2. Adjust the focus ring until the Hs are as sharp as they can be.
Selecting the Color Mode You can select from five pre-set color modes to get the best color settings: ■ Dynamic—for projecting images with greater modulation and color intensity ■ Theater—good when projecting movies or images with dark scenes ■ Natural—best for projecting images in their natural color ■ PC—brightest color mode for projecting computer images ■ sRGB—good for images that conform to the sRGB standard.
Selecting the Aspect Ratio The aspect ratio is the ratio between an image’s length and its height. Standard images have an aspect ratio of 4:3 and HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9. If your video source is 16:9, the projector displays it in its native ratio. If it is 4:3, you can choose the best mode for projecting it. Press the Aspect button on the control panel or the remote control to select one of the following aspect ratios. The current setting appears on the screen each time the ratio changes.
Zoom mode In zoom mode, images output in 4:3 format are cropped at the top and bottom by a set amount and then projected in a 16:9 format. 4:3 image cut at top and bottom image resized to 16:9 Through mode If the input signal resolution is 1280 x 720 or less, the images are projected with the resolution unchanged. The size of the displayed images depends on the input resolution.
Adjusting the Tracking and Synchronization If you’re projecting from a computer and displaying an image that contains a lot of detail (such as the text of a letter), you may notice one or more vertical stripes or bands, or some of the characters may look heavy or blurred. You can increase the clarity by pressing the Auto button on the remote control. This resets the projector’s tracking, sync, and position settings.
Freezing the Action If you want to temporarily freeze the action on the screen, press the Still button on the remote control. This freezes any moving images on the screen until you press the Still button again. Like the Blank feature, the video and audio input continue while the moving images are paused, so when you press the Still button again to resume, the playback does not resume where you stopped it.
3. Press the Power button again. The lamp is turned off and the P power light flashes orange for a minute or two as the projector cools down. When the projector has cooled, the power light stays orange and the exhaust fan shuts off. Flashes orange If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the orange light stops flashing. Then press the Power button. 4. If you will not be using the projector for an extended period of time, turn off the main switch on the back of the projector.
