1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your choice of the SIM2 Grand Cinema HT300 LINK system! DIGIOPTIC ™ IMAGE PROCESSOR ON OFF PTIC DIGIO LINK ™ 1 2 3 - UCT R PROD S1 LASE CLAS 1
The HT300 LINK system combines the signal processing capabilities of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor with the high fidelity reproduction of the DLP™ technology Projector by linking the two units via a fibre optic cable. The DigiOptic™ Image Processor, which should be ideally located close to the signal sources, supports and processes a wide range of video signals, transmitting them to the Projector by means of a fibre optic link cable.
2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ATTENTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cable on the rear panel before removing the top cover of the projector. Refer to trained, authorised personnel for technical assistance. This symbol indicates the possible electric shock hazard associated with uninsulated live components in the interior of the unit. This symbol indicates the presence of important instructions regarding use and maintenance of the product.

• Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for future consultation. This manual contains important information on how to install and use this equipment correctly. Before using the equipment, read the safety prescriptions and instructions carefully. Keep the manual for future consultation. • Do not touch internal parts of the units. The units contain electrical parts carrying high voltages and operating at high temperatures.
• Disconnect the apparatus from the mains power supply in the event of electrical storms and when not in use. To avoid damage that could be caused by lightning striking in the vicinity of your home, disconnect the units in the event of electrical storms or when the system will remain unused for prolonged periods. • Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to humidity. Do not use the units near water (sinks, tanks, etc.
PACKAGE CONTENTS Projector Instruction Manual The carton should contain the following: - the projector - the DigiOptic™ Image Processor - the remote control - four 1.
• • • • CONNECTING THE TWO UNITS The system can be fully controlled using the supplied IR (infrared) remote control handset. There is a single remote control for both the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the Projector; the remote control can be directed towards either unit since they are both equipped with an IR sensor. The connection between the two units is made with a single cable containing three fibre optic cables each terminating in an LC connector.
To activate an electric motorised screen a 12 Volt output is provided at the rear of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor. This can be connected to a screen interface unit, which can be supplied by screen manufacturers (Fig. 10). PFor rear projection the screen must be translucent. For front projection, we recommend the use of screens with low gain specifications (i.e. 1.3 to 2). The use of high gain screens should be avoided due to their limited viewing angle, which is undesirable for a large audience.
Table 1 shows the types of signals usually available for the most common types of video sources and the corresponding input connectors to use on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor). Table 1 DigiOptical Image Processor Connector Video signal source connector Y (green) Y Y Y Cr (red) PR R-Y V Cb (blue) PB B-Y U VIDEO These inputs should be connected to a Composite Video signal (CVBS) by means of a cable with an RCA connector.
RGB GRAPHICS This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector. The signal source device (typically a personal computer or game console) must be able to provide separate H/V synchronisation or composite H+V. The video or graphic signals that can be connected to this input can have horizontal scan frequencies (H-sync) of between 32 and 80 kHz and a vertical frequency (V-sync) of between 48 and 100 Hz.

5 SWITCHING ON AND OFF The HT300 LINK system consists of the Projector and the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (which is also the system control centre). The DigiOptic™ Image Processor sends commands to the Projector and receives operating status information from the Projector and function commands from the user. The system can be controlled from either the remote control (via the infrared sensors on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and on the Projector) or the keypad located on the rear of the Projector.
Typically, the picture will appear after 15-20 seconds. Pressing a key from 1-9 on the remote control selects the corresponding input; pressing 0 selects the input active at the time the system was last switched off. If the system is switched on very soon after it was last switched off, the lamp may fail to come on because it is too hot. In this case just wait a few minutes to allow the lamp to cool. Switching the system off (Fig.15): • from the remote control ( key) • from the Projector keypad ( key).
6 KEYBOARD PAD Eight push buttons, at the rear of the projector, will allow complete operation without the use of the remote control. Auto Menu Activates the On Screen Display menus. Navigates Menu pages. Selects Auto Adjust (automatic optimisation of the displayed image). Switches off to stand-by. Up/Down/Left/Right arrow keys Navigate through and make adjustments to the On Screen menus. Arrow Up/Down switch on from stand-by and recall Source Selection menu.
8 ON SCREEN MENU All system functions can be activated from the keypad or remote control with the aid of a practical and comprehensive system of on screen menus. INPUTS The input selection menu (Inputs) is called by pressing 0 on the remote control and, when no other menu is displayed, using the and keys on the keypad. To select an input, scroll the list with the and keys until the desired input is highlighted, then press .
MAIN MENU Image To access the main menu of the On Screen Display press the MENU key on the keypad or the MENU+ or MENU- key on the remote control. The main menu is divided into four windows, PICTURE, IMAGE, SETUP and MENU, in which the various adjustments are grouped according to the frequency of use. Use and to select the line corresponding to the adjustment you wish to make (Fig. 19).
CINEMA MODE In AUTO the deinterlacer recognises if the video signal source is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with 3:2 or 2:2 pull-down) and applies a deinterlace algorithm optimised for this type of signal. If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you select NO the deinterlacer applies a Motion compensated algorithm optimised for video camera signals. VIDEO TYPE Activates a filter to improve stability of pictures from video recorders or DVD players.
IMAGE This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, etc. ASPECT This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the relative source is called.
FREQUENCY/PHASE These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for signals from PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making up the projected image. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values.
LENS The Zoom adjustment impacts on the motorized zoom lens allowing to increase or decrease the dimension of the projected image. The Focus adjustment impacts on the motorized lens focus, allowing to obtain the highest definition on the projected image, an accurate focus setting should allow the viewer to distinguish each pixel that create the image one from another.
FACTORY DEFAULTS Reconfigures the projector to original factory settings except Position, Orientation, Y/C Delay, Zoom and Focus. Confirm? No Yes Insert text You will be able to insert text easily and rapidly by accessing the text insertion menu (fig. 26) MENU LANGUAGE Lists the languages available for the On Screen Display menus. SOURCE LIST In order for the HT300 LINK system to be more flexible, the following described functions allow to modify the input selection menu making it more user friendly.
F1/F2 KEYS This allows to assign different functions to the remote control keys, named F1 and F2. The window is made of 6 options, once for each line and by two columns showing the F1-F2 keys. The choice between F1 and F2 is made by the and keys of the remote control; the function given to F1 and F2 is chosen with the and keys. The function delivered by the key is memorized by the intersection on the line and column.
MEMORIES The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single command. There are 3 distinct Memories (Memory 1, Memory 2, Memory 3) for each of the 25 signal types managed: Some of these parameters may not be available for certain inputs or certain input signals, as indicated in Tables 4 and 5.
SAVE DEFAULT SETTINGS To restore the original values to a previously modified Memory, select the line corresponding to the Memory in question and open the pull-down menu ( key). Then select the line ‘Initial settings saved in Memory 1’. To confirm that the operation has been completed successfully, the message ‘Memory 1 initialised’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘I’ appears to the left of the name of the memory. RENAME A MEMORY It is possible to assign a name to each Memory.
9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The Projector and DigiOptic™ Image Processor do not require internal cleaning. There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector. Please refer all service requirements to qualified personnel. Cleaning the lens: The lens may be cleaned with a very soft, non-abrasive small brush, in order to remove dust particles. Alternatively, use a soft dry cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens cleaning) to remove fingerprints and grease marks.
