Setting up 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. But here are some general guidelines. NOTE: To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (0.15 m) of a wall or other object.
Projector Positioning The projected image becomes larger as the distance between the unit and screen increases. The manual zoom allows the distance from the screen to be within a minimum and maximum range. See the chart on the next page for details. The example below defines the screen height, width, diagonal, etc. HDP6000 Projection Throw Distance 16:9 Video Screen: Screen Diagonal 92" 103" 106" 110" 122.5" 146.
Choosing the aspect ratio Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. When in 4:3 mode the projector places black bars on both sides of the image. Native mode centers the image and turns off the internal scaler so that any resolution larger than the native projector resolution is cropped on the edges. Letterbox expands the image to fill the screen.
Connecting a video device You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound. You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. 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.
Computer connections You can connect a computer‟s VGA connector to the VGA input on the projector using a VGA cable. RS-232 connections You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector‟s Serial control connector.
