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.
Video connections Table 1: 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”) on the projector.
Displaying a video image remove lens cap Remove the lens cap. Press the Power button on the top of the projector. press Power The projector chimes if the chime feature is enabled (page 30). The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the startup screen displays and the LED is steady green. 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.
Adjust the zoom or focus rings by rotating them until the desired image size and sharpness are produced. adjust zoom and focus zoom focus If the image is not square, adjust the keystone using the buttons on the keypad. Press the upper Keystone button to reduce the width of the upper portion of the image, and press the lower Keystone button to reduce the width of the lower portion. adjust keystone You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical keystone via the Picture menu.
Connecting a computer connect computer cable 1 Y Y IR in M1-DA 1 vesa 2 2 Pb Pr D5 8 trigger 1 trigger 2 Pr 5 s-video 3 component 7 video Pb 4 serial control 6 component Connect either a VESA cable or M1 cable into the appropriate connector on the projector. 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.
Shutting down the projector Troubleshooting your setup Power Save If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section (page 20). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The projector has a Power Save feature in the System menu that automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed.

When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults to the last-used source. If no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, the projector checks the last-used source first at power up. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or until power down.
Translucent OSD: makes the menus translucent. This prevents the image from being completely covered by the menus while you are making image adjustments. Chime: turn this on to hear a sound when the Power button is pressed. System menu Sleep Timer: allows you to force the projector to automatically shutoff after 4 hours.

Replacing the projection lamp The lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message “Change lamp” appears on the screen at startup. If the maximum lamp time is exceeded, the lamp will not light. In this case, after replacing the lamp you must reset the lamp hours by simultaneously pressing both Brightness buttons on the keypad and holding them for 10 seconds. You can order new lamp modules from your dealer.
WARNINGS: • • • • To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp. Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury. Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness. Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all sides of the projector.
