Important Operating Considerations for Safety • • • • • • • • • Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents. Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling vents. Use only Knoll-approved ceiling mounts. Use only the power cord provided.
Introduction Congratulations and thank you for your excellent choice of a superior digital image projection device. Your new Knoll HD102 projector is specifically designed for home cinema applications. The HD102 sets a high standard using the latest DLP™ technology and new DCDi Plus video processing from Faroudja™. Whether you are watching movies or High Definition broadcasts or playing the latest video game, you will enjoy amazing image quality.
12-volt DC output The 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides a 12-volt DC output. It provides a constant output while the projector is on. It has numerous uses. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the 12-volt DC output with the cable that came with your screen, when you turn on the projector the screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to the storage position. To use the 12-volt DC output, you must first remove the safety plug.
Video connections The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest, is: 1. component video (RCA) 2. S-video 3. audio/visual composite video (RCA) If your video device has a VGA connector, you can use the DVI connector on the back of the projector for very high quality.

Using the projector with Windows 98 for the first time The first time you connect a computer running Windows 98 to the projector, the computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add New Hardware Wizard appears.
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. There is also an audio input via the red and white A/V connectors. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can connect the audio to your stereo system via the Audio Out connector. You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
Plug a white connector into the left audio out connector on the video device and plug a red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device. Plug the remaining white connector into the white audio in connector on the projector, and plug the remaining red connector into the red audio in connector on the projector. Keep in mind that video output from composite connections are not as high quality as S-video or component video.
Displaying video Remove the lens cap. Toggle the Power switch on the side of the projector to the On position. The LED flashes green and the fans start to run.
