Connecting power 1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) in front of the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen. 2. Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector grounded electrical outlet 2. 1 and the other end to a If you want to permanently install the projector on a table or behind the screen, see “Installing the projector” on page 47.
Connecting a computer Requires: • VGA cable 1 • USB cable 2 (optional, provides mouse and page up/down control) The optional USB connection allows you to use the mouse and page up/down features on the remote control. See “Showing a computer screen” on page 29. TIP: If the computer display does not appear on the projector, you might have to press a combination of keys on the computer to turn on the computer’s VGA output. For example, on some computers you must press FN+F4 or FN+F5.
Connecting a handheld organizer Not all handhelds come with VGA-out ports. For example, an iPAQ Pocket PC may require a VGA-out PC Card with 15-pin connector. If necessary, install a VGA-out accessory card into the organizer.
Connecting a video source Many video devices have more than one type of output port—see the list below. When you connect the device to the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture quality. This list shows video connections in order with highest picture quality at the top: Highest quality Component-video S-video Composite-video Standard quality Most video and audio cables shown in the following sections are available from HP.
Connecting a component-video source Examples: Cable boxes, DVD players, satellite receivers, and audio-video receivers Requires: • Component-to-VGA cable TIP: Many DVD players and other high-quality video devices provide component video output. The three RCA connectors might be labeled YPbPr or YCbCr. If possible, configure the video source to use progressive scan output, such as 480p, 575p, or 720p. For additional information, refer to the user documentation provided with the video source.
Connecting an S-video source Examples: DVD players, VCRs, cable boxes, camcorders, and video gaming devices Requires: • S-video cable Connecting a composite-video source Examples: VCRs, DVD players, audio-video receivers, and video gaming devices Requires: • Composite-video cable 20 Setting Up

4 Maintaining the Projector Performing routine maintenance Getting the projector status To get the projector status: S Press the enter button on the projector or remote control and go to Help. This screen shows information and status for the projector. Cleaning the projector and lens You can clean the projector housing using a soft, dry cloth. You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.
Replacing the lamp module As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed. WARNING! Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration: • To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present.
5. Loosen the two screws 2 on the lamp module, and pull out the module 3. 6. Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the two screws. 7. Install the cover and tighten the two screws. 8. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp. 9. Press enter, go to Setup > Reset lamp hours, and press enter.
Replacing the battery in the remote control 1. Use a ballpoint pen to hold the battery latch toward the center, then pull out the battery holder 1. 2. Insert the new battery 3. Push the holder 2 in the holder. 3 into the remote control. When discarding old batteries, contact your local waste-disposal provider regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries.
Upgrading the projector Updating the firmware HP might periodically release updated versions of the projector firmware to enhance the projector performance. The projector firmware version is shown in the on-screen menu at Help. USB method 1. On a computer with a USB port, go to www.hp.com/support, select your region, select the software download option, and type your projector model number in the product box. 2. Download the latest file intended for a USB upgrade. 3.
Maintaining the Projector
5 Installing Permanently Installing the projector Choosing cables If you are permanently installing the projector or using it with long cables, consider the following suggestions when planning the installation: • Use high-quality cables. Use only video cables that are made with 75-ohm coaxial cable and connectors. For high-resolution video, use low-loss video cables. • Minimize cable length as much as possible. For video cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use low-loss coaxial cables.
Installing for rear projection 1. Place the projector 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) behind a translucent screen that is designed for rear projection. See “Setting up the projector” on page 13 for more instructions. 2. Press enter,, go to Setup > Picture orientation. Then select Rear Normal. Locking the projector The projector includes a built in slot to secure the projector with a cable and lock (such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at many computer stores). 1.
6 Fixing Problems Troubleshooting suggestions If you have a problem with your projector, check the following statement that most closely matches the nature of the problem, then look in that section of this chapter: • “Warning light problems” on page 49 • “Start-up problems” on page 50 • “Picture problems” on page 50 • “Interruption problems” on page 53 • “Remote control problems” on page 53 TIP: If these suggestions do not solve your problem, go to http://www.hp.com/support for additional information.
If the red lamp light is flickering quickly: • Check that the cover over the lamp is correctly installed and fully attached. Start-up problems If no lights or sounds turn on: • Be sure that the power cable is securely connected to the projector and the other end is plugged into an outlet with power. • Press the power button again. • Unplug the power cord for 15 seconds, then plug it in and press the power button again.
If an upside-down or reversed image is displayed: • The projector has been set to the wrong position setting. Press enter, go to Setup > Picture orientation, and select the correct setting. If the image is too small or too large: • Adjust the zoom ring on top of the projector. • Move the projector closer to or farther from the screen. • On the projector or remote control, press the picture mode button one or more times to see if one of the picture modes makes the image the correct size.
If the picture is not clear (ghost images, smearing, poor quality): • Be sure the video cable you are using is coaxial cable rated at 75 ohms. Any other cable or impedance rating can reduce picture quality. • The video cable connecting the video source to the projector probably must be higher quality. See “Choosing cables” on page 47. If several picture settings seem completely wrong and you cannot fix them: • Press enter, go to Picture > Color settings > Reset color settings, and press enter.
Interruption problems If the projector stops responding to all controls: • If possible, turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord and wait at least 15 seconds before reconnecting power. If the lamp shuts off during a show: • A minor power surge might cause the lamp to shut off. This is normal. Wait a few minutes, then power on the projector. • If a red warning light is on or blinking, see “Warning light problems” on page 49.
Testing the projector Running the projector diagnostics The on-screen menu contains diagnostic tests you can use to verify the proper operation of the projector and the remote control. 1. Press enter and go to Help > Diagnostics. 2. Select a test and press enter. 3. Follow the displayed instructions.
