C3X LINK INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION lution occurs without alterations of image quality, in accordance with an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several definable by the user. The C3X-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.
C3X LINK This symbol indicates the presence of important instructions regarding use and maintenance of the product. This symbol indicates the possible electric shock hazard associated with uninsulated live components in the interior of the unit. WARNING To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cable on the rear panel before removing the top cover of the projector. For technical assistance refer to trained personnel authorised by the manufacturer.

C3X LINK Read this manual and keep it safe 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.
C3X LINK IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Disconnect the unit 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 damp. Do not use the units near water (sinks, tanks, etc.

C3X LINK POSITIONING THE TWO UNITS POSITIONING THE PROJECTOR The C3X-LINK system consists of two separate units (the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the Projector), each of which is equipped with a power cable; the two units are interconnected by a 20 m fibre optic cable. Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the optional bracket for a fixed ceiling installation.
C3X LINK AT INSTALLATION • • • • • Make sure that the single optical cables are not switched: the numbers on the cables must match the numbers on the connectors. Check that the connectors are correctly inserted. Make sure that the cable does not constitute an obstacle for persons moving around the room. Take care not to create knots in the cable; the minimum radius of bends in the cable is 2 cm.
C3X LINK For rear projection the screen must be translucent. For front projection, we recommend the use of screens with low gain specifications. Preferably use “unitary gain” screens; directive screens with a high gain can be effectively used only for small groups of spectators central to the screen. Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected image.
C3X LINK INSTALLATION By using a suitable SCART to RCA (or BNC) connector adapter cable, an RGB video signal from a source equipped with an SCART connector can be connected to this input. Component signals are connected to inputs Y, Cr and Cb, taking care to observe the correspondence with the outputs on the source. Since the latter can be labelled in various ways, refer to Table 1 to establish the correspondence between the various signals.

C3X LINK SWITCHING ON AND OFF 8 SWITCHING ON AND OFF DIG IOP I The C3X-LINK system consists of two units (DigiOptic™ Image Processor and Projector) of which the former is also the system control centre. 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 back of the Projector. However, the power supply to the two units is separate.
C3X LINK SWITCHING ON AND OFF SWITCH ON FROM STAND-BY Switching on the system (Fig.14): • with the remote control ( ) • with the Projector keypad Typically, the picture will appear after 15-20 seconds. 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 off the system (Fig.15): • with the remote control ( key) • with the Projector keypad ( key).
C3X LINK 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 In the pull-down menu it is also possible to select the horizontal frequency manually or use the AutoSync option; in this case the system automatically recognises the input signal horizontal frequency (15kHz, 32kHz or higher). Input 11 can receive YPrPb or RGB signals from DVI-D sources.
C3X LINK ON-SCREEN MENU MAIN MENU )MAGE 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 the ▲ and ▼ keys to select the line corresponding to the adjustment you wish to make (Fig.19). Aspect Colour Temperature Gamma Correction Overscan Position Y/C Delay Fig.
C3X LINK Video Type Inserts a filter that improves stability of images from videorecorders or DVD players. To toggle between Normal and VCR mode, press the key on the remote control or select the value on the On Screen Display. NOISE REDUCTION This adjustment serves to select the noise reduction filter value. When the option is selected in the menu the picture is divided into two.
C3X LINK ON-SCREEN MENU IMAGE Color Temperature Changes the colour balance of the image. The colour temperature is adjusted by positioning the white dot in the CIE chromaticity diagram. The system makes it possible to position the white dot in a grid with 36 dots in the neutral colour zone (Fig. 21). This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, magnification etc.
C3X LINK Frequency/phase These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for signals from a PC, ensure correspondence between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels that make 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.
C3X LINK SETUP The setup menu contains less frequently used adjustments that may be required during installation (such as the display of Test Patterns). ORIENTATION Select the option that best describes the installation i.e. desktop front, ceiling front, desktop rear and ceiling rear.
C3X LINK TEST PATTERNS Displays a series of five test patterns, useful for the installation of the projector. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to browse through the test patterns.

Pressing the key on the remote control or the ◀ key on the keypad (Fig.30) serves to activate the Memories management menu page. MEMORIES The main picture parameters can be saved in discrete sets of values called MEMORIES so that they can be subsequently applied as a group using a single command.
C3X LINK QUICK MENUS The quick menus provide access to the main adjustments that affect image quality, without calling the main On Screen menus. Brightness, Contrast, Color, Tint, Sharpness and Filter adjustments appear at the bottom of the screen, one after another, on pressing the ▲ and ▼ keys. MESSAGES Rename memories All Memories can be named. To enter a name (maximum length of 12 alphanumeric characters) select the option Rename in the relative drop-down menu.
