SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR 1 Place the projector on a flat surface. • The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer. • If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 24 to reverse the image. 2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r NOTE: Before you continue, make sure the projector is unplugged and your equipment is turned off. If you’re connecting a in computer, make sure the distance in between it and the projector is 6 feet or less.

Connecting a Video Player 1 If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video cable that shipped with the projector. • If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con- nector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 39.

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image 1 Remove the lens cap. 2 Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended. NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector. • The fans start to run, and the Lamp LED on the top of the projector (Figure 12 on page 16) lights orange until the software has initialized. When initialization is complete, the Lamp LED lights green.

This blanks the screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby Time” on page 24 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running).
USING THE PROJECTOR This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus. Basic Image Adjustment 1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 11). 2 If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image (page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 23).

U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Using the On-Screen Menus The projector has six drop-down menus that allow you to make image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad. NOTE: Some menu items may be grayed out at certain times. This indicates the item is not applicable to your setup (for example, video standards do not apply to To open the on-screen menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote.

U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r For video sources, Resize allows you to select from among four different re-sizing options. The default is Standard, which resizes the image from its original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect ratio screen. Widescreen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio of the original theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3 space, so black bars appear at the top and bottom of the image.

When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.
Default Source Default Source toggles among Computer analog, Computer digital, and Video. This determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up. Highlight Default Source and click the left or right navigation button to toggle among the options. Auto Source Select This setting toggles between On and Off. When this feature is Off, the projector defaults to the source selected in Default Source.
U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r Language Menu FIGURE 18 Language menu You can display the on-screen menus in English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese or Japanese. • Move the cursor to the language you want, then click the left or right navigation button. The menus redraw immediately. Status Menu This is a read-only window for informational purposes. To display the status window, select Show status from the menu, then click the left or right navigation button.
Lamp hours used Indicates how many hours the current lamp has been in use. The counter starts at zero hours and counts each hour the lamp is in use. Change the bulb when the brightness is no longer acceptable. See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 29 for details. Computer resolution Shows your computer’s resolution setting. To change this, go to your computer’s Control Panel and adjust the resolution in the Display tab. See your computer’s user’s guide for details.

M a i n t e n a n c e & T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic responses when using the remote and a reduced range of operation. Follow these steps to replace the batteries: 1 Turn the remote face down in your hand. 2 Slide the battery cover off the end of the remote.
Troubleshooting Problem: Nothing on projection screen •Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a fully functional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is also properly connected to the projector. •If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. •Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection lens at the front of the projector. •Make sure the lamp is switched on.
M a i n t e n a n c e & T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g •You might need to turn everything off and power up the equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order. •Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 40 or your computer’s manual for details. •Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con- figured correctly.
Problem: Image is out of focus •Turn the projection lens to focus the image. •Make sure the projection screen is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the projector. •Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
