About laser beam

This remote control is class 2 (max. output 1 mW laser diode 640 - 660 nm) laser equipment. Beam Divergence : 6m distance about 10.0mm x 10.0mm (6.0mm)
LASER RADIATION DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM WAVE LENGTH : 640 - 660 nm MAX OUTPUT : 1 mW CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT IEC 60825-1:1993+A1:1997

CAUTION : Pressing the LASER button provided remote control emits laser beam. Do not look into the beam light directly. Do not point the laser beam at people. Looking the laser beam directly may damage eyesight. Use of controls or adjustments or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Using the remote control

Battery installation
Use two AA size batteries. 1. Remove the back cover of the remote control by pushing the battery compartment door in the direction of the arrow. 2. Load the batteries making sure that they are positioned correctly (+ to +, and - to -). 3. Replace the back cover.

When you need a longer cable, use a pin-pin cable. When using the wired remote control, the laser beam may be darker. It is normal.

Installation

SCREEN

When using the ceiling mount, set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu to MIRROR INVERT. See Page 16. Projected images may appear darker when the unit is used as a ceiling installation than when it is used in the tabletop position. This does not signify a product malfunction. Rear projection Ask a specialist for installation. For more details, consult your dealer.

Basic connections

This projector can be connected to equipment such as VCRs, video cameras, videodisc players, and personal computers having analog RGB output. Important: Make sure that your equipment is turned off before connection. Plug in firmly and unplug by holding the plug, not by pulling the main power cable. If connected units are set too close to one another, the image may be affected. Refer to the owner's guide of each component for details of connections.

Projector + AV equipment

Important: Match the color of video and audio plugs on the AV cable with the connections. S-video signals take priority over video signals. If you input both S-video signals and normal video signals at the same time, the normal video input automatically is inhibited.
Connect either one of these.

When the EXPAND MODE of FEATURE menu is set to real screen display, by pressing the EXPAND button on the remote control, it will switch to the screen displaying the picture as its original size (real screen display). In the real screen display, pictures will be black-framed when picture resolution is lower than 800 x 600. Important: Some computers may not be compatible with the projector. The projector's maximum resolution is 800 x 600 pixels. It may not display correctly for the pictures of higher resolutions than 800 x 600. The picture with a SYNC on G (Green) signal may jitter. The picture with a SYNC on G (Green) signal may be tinged with green.
If the resolution and frequency of your computer are not shown on the table, change the resolution of your computer. You may find the compatible resolution and frequency. Set the COMPUTER INPUT in SIGNAL menu to RGB, when inputting the HDTV signal as RGB signal. Set the SIGNAL menu and USER menu as shown below, when 525p signal is inputted. Set TRACKING first.

Control projector by using a personal computer
This projector can be controlled by connecting a personal computer with RS-232C terminal.
Functions can be controlled by a personal computer: Turn the ON or OFF Changing input signals Menu setting Connection

to RS-232C terminal to Com1 Comport

RS-232C cable

Important: Make sure that your computer and projector are turned off before connection. Turn on the projector after the computer is started up. (If you do not follow this order, the Comport may not function.) Adapters may be necessary depending on the PC connected to this projector. Contact your dealer for details.

1) Interface

PROTOCOL BAUD RATE DATA LENGTH PARITY BIT STOP BIT FLOW CONTROL RS-232C 9600 [bps] 8 [bits] NONE 1 [bit] NONE
This projector uses RXD, TXD and GND lines for RS-232C control. For RS-232C cable,the reverse type cable should be used.
2) Control command diagram
The command is structured by the address code, function code, data code and end code. The length of the command is different by each function.
HEX ASCII Address code 30h 30h '0' '0' Function code Function Function Data code Data Data End code 0Dh
[Address code] [Function code] [Data code] [End code]
30h 30h (In ASCII code, '0' '0') fixed. A code of each fixed control move. A code of each fixed control data (number) and not always indicated. 0Dh (In ASCII code, ' ') fixed.

3) Control sequence

(1) Send the command from a personal computer to the projector. (The commands must be sent at least 400ms apart.) (2) The projector will send a return command 400ms* after it has received an end code. If the command is not received correctly, the projector will not send the return command. (3) The personal computer checks the command and confirms if the command which has been sent has been executed or not. (4) This projector sends various codes other than the return code. When having a control sequence by RS232C, reject other codes from personal computer side. * : The sending time of return command may delay depending on the condition (during changing the input signal, etc.).

4) Operation commands

The operation commands execute the basic operation setting of this projector. It may not operate when changing the signal.
