Positioning the projector There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up the projector, including the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines. 1 Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source.
Table 1: Video connections Video connections You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.
Connecting a video device connect component cable If your video device has more than one output, select the highest quality one. DVI video has the best quality, followed by Component video, S-video, and then composite video. If the video device uses component cable connectors, plug the cable’s green connectors into the green component-out connector on the video device and into the green component connector (labeled “Y” Component 3) on the projector.

When the lamp comes on, the startup screen is displayed. It can take a minute for the image to achieve full brightness. ? No startup screen? Get help on page 12. Plug in and turn on the video device. The video device’s image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Source button on the keypad or remote.
Adjust the zoom or focus rings by rotating them until the desired image size and focus are produced. adjust zoom and focus zoom focus If the image is not square, adjust the vertical keystone using the buttons on the keypad. Press the upper Keystone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the lower Keystone button to reduce the lower part. You can also adjust the horizontal keystone via the menus, or set the projector to automatically adjust the vertical keystone. See page 24.
Connecting a computer connect computer cable Connect either a VESA cable or M1 cable into the appropriate connector on the projector (Vesa 1 or DVI 2). Connect the other end to the video port on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port. Pb Y trigger Pr audio in serial control Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector and to your electrical outlet.
Shutting down the projector Troubleshooting your setup The projector automatically blanks the screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This blank screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section (page 20). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup.

They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover. To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the video device or computer). The range of optimum operation is up to 30 feet (9.14m). Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system.

Troubleshooting audio If there is no sound, check the following: • Make sure the audio cables are connected. • Make sure mute isn’t active in the Audio menu. • Make sure the volume is turned up enough. • Adjust the audio source.
Customizing the projector Optimizing video images You can customize the projector for your specific setup and needs. See page 28 to page 31 for details on these features. After the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 23. • For rear projection, turn Rear mode on in the Settings>System menu.

If you have a 16:9 source and screen, the image fills the screen.
Presets: You can customize the settings for each source and save them as a preset. There are three user-definable presets. To set a preset for the current source, adjust the image, then choose Save User 1, 2, or 3. You can recall these settings in the future by selecting the appropriate user presets. Presets Gamma: Gamma tables contain preset intensity configurations optimized for the input source. You can select a gamma table that has been specifically tuned for either film, presentation, or photography.
Advanced settings Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting. Sharpness Color Space: This option applies to computer sources. It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the video input. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709 or REC601 for component sources.
Settings menu Audio: allows adjustments to the volume and mute, and turns the projector’s startup Chime on and off. Audio Sources: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key on the remote. Also allows selection of a default Startup Source and enables or disables Autosource and RGB Video. Sources>Startup Source: this determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up.
Sleep Timer: allows you to force the projector to automatically shutoff after 4 hours. Screen Save: automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no signals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen Save is disabled when Power Save is enabled.
Language: allows you to select a language for the onscreen display of menus and messages. Language Service: to use these features, highlight them and press Select. Service menu Factory Reset: restores all settings (except Lamp Hours) to their default after displaying a confirmation dialog box. Lamp Reset: resets the lamp hours counter in the About menu to zero. Do this only after changing the lamp. It displays a confirmation dialog box.
Maintenance clean the lens with a soft dry cloth and non-abrasive cleaner Cleaning the lens 1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens. 2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.
Replacing the projection lamp The lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. When the lamp timer reaches the estimated total lamp life, the LED on the projector’s keypad blinks red (indicating a lamp error, see page 36) and a dialog box appears each time the projector is turned on. You can order new lamp modules from your dealer. See “Accessories” on page 35 for information.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when removing it. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury.
Cleaning the dust filters In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filters can become clogged, causing high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can impact lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to remove dust and dirt from the filters lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean the filters every 250 hours.
