DCL-200 FD 1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual Using your Remote Control System Remote Control – Key Projector Functions The Wolf DCL-200FD system features an integrated, learning remote and provides for all system functions. The primary IR remote usage controls are outlined over the next two pages.
DCL-200 FD System Remote Control – Key ProScaler Functions The following are the key PROSCALER functions, within the common remote control structure. Note: SELECT THE SCALER BUTTON TO ENABLE THE PROCESSOR CONTROLS. Also refer to the separate Wolf Cinema ProScaler User Guide for additional details.
DCL-200 FD 1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual Available Range of the Remote Control The remote control can be used to control the projector and processor within the ranges shown in the illustration. Note: • Using the remote control out of range may affect the received signal. 45º When using the remote control: • Be sure not to drop it, or expose it to moisture or high temperature. 23’ (7 m) • The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp or in bright sunlight.
DCL-200 FD Connecting Source Components Before Setting Up Note: • Before connecting, be sure to turn off both the projector, the ProScaler and the devices to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector, ProScaler and then the other devices. • When connecting a computer, be sure that it is the last device to be turned on after all the connections are made. • Be sure to read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected before making connections.
DCL-200 FD 1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual Wolf Cinema’s DCL-200FD projector is optimized to work with the included ProScaler. The ProScaler and projector are carefully calibrated at the factory to support all basic functionality “out of the box.” The projector uses one primary HDMI input, which accepts all incoming video signals as delivered from the ProScaler. The ProScaler processes and routes the variety of source components via the input selected.
DCL-200 FD Note: Wolf Cinema always recommends that you, your custom installer or video calibrator thoroughly test the HDMI video cable(s) with the entire system prior to final installation. HDMI cables vary greatly in overall quality and signal integrity. Many HDMI cables are not designed to support certain information and signal timings over long cable runs.
DCL-200 FD 1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual Projector: The Projector will remain in a stand-by OFF mode until turned on via the supplied IR remote control, or by receipt of a discrete ON command from your home automation control system. To activate the Projector, select the TV/Projector button on the IR remote control, then depress and HOLD the green POWER ON button at the top of the remote. The projector will turn on in approximately 30 seconds.
DCL-200 FD Connecting Video Equipment Using an S-Video or a Composite Video Cable Using an S-Video or a Composite Video cable, a VCR, laser disc player or other video equipment can be connected to the labeled input terminals. S-Video cable (commercially available) Composite video cable (commercially available) Note: The S-VIDEO terminal uses a video signal system in which the picture is separated into color and luminance signals to realize a higher-quality image.
DCL-200 FD 1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual Connecting a Computer Connect the computer by either a 15-pin VGA to RGBHV cable (optional accessory, sold separately) or to a VGA to HDMI converter (also an optional accessory, sold separately). The 15-pin VGA to RGBHV cable may be connected to the appropriate component input (1 or 2, depending on the type of PC sync). Note: • See page 43 “Computer Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the system.
DCL-200 FD Leveling Feet • The height of the projector can be adjusted using the leveling feet, when the projector is placed on the uneven surface or when the screen is slanted. • If the screen is set at a slight angle, the adjustment feet can be used to match the angle at the projector. Adjustable feet Note: When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the screen.
DCL-200 FD 1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual Setting up the Screen Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image. Note: • The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult. • For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light.
