Positioning the projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines: Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.49m) from the projection screen. Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object. If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see Ceiling on page 38. We recommend using an authorized ceiling mount. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. The top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image sizes at different distances, see Projected Image Size on page 44. The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10 high, the bottom of the image will be 1.22 above the center of the lens. This image offset is 132.9% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10 high, the bottom of the image will be 3.29 above the center of the lens. See Connecting a video device on page 16 for additional information on 16:9 and 4:3 modes.

Projector and Device Connector Guide
The following illustration and table should help you find the connectors to use and obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720p HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players.

Computer connections

Computer connections involve attaching the VGA and USB ends of the provided computer cable to a computer and connecting the other end (M1) to the Computer In input on the projector. The USB part of the computer cable allows you to advance slides in a PowerPoint presentation via a remote control. See page 11 for computer/projector setup information.

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 on your video device, select the one with the highest quality. Your options are S-video (higher quality) and Composite video (lesser quality). If you are connecting the projector to HDTV sources, the projectors M1 computer connector, labeled Computer In, should be used. Keep in mind that HDTV and progressive sources should only be handled through the projectors computer connector. You can also use an M1 to Component adapter (available as an optional accessory) to connect a progressive sources component connectors to the projector. The S-video port does not function with progressive sources.

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. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner. Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projectors Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the projectors Picture Menu. See page 35 for more information.

16:9 mode

What is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If youre projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you dont have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If a have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.

Shutting down the projector
The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed.
Troubleshooting your setup
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The LED on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot.

Screen Save

You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by turning on the Screen Save feature in the Settings>System menu. See page 38.
Table 1: LED behavior and meaning

LED color/behavior

solid green

Meaning

The power switch has been toggled on and the software has initialized or the projector has been powered off via the remote. The power switch has been toggled on and the software is initializing, or the projector is powering down and the fans are running to cool the lamp. A fan or lamp failure has occurred. Make sure the vents arent blocked (see page 27). Turn off the projector and wait one minute, then turn the projector on again. If the projector has been working exceeded its lamp life (page 41), replace the lamp and reset the lamp timer. Contact Technical Support if the problem persists. An unidentifiable error: please contact Technical Support.

Power Save

The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off. See page 38.

blinking green

Turning off the projector
You can turn the projector off simply by toggling the power switch to the off position. You can also press the remotes Power button to place the projector in the Off state while it is running. When the Power button is pressed twice (once to start the power-down process and a second time to verify that you want to power the projector off), the lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for one (1) minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. While the LED is blinking green, the projector does not accept any keypad and remote control input. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights solid green and the fans slow down to minimal speed. To turn off the projector, toggle the power switch to the off position. NOTE: Once the projector has been toggled off, you must wait for one (1) minute before turning the projector on again. This allows the lamp to properly cool. However, if the remote was used to power the projector to the Off state you do not need to wait one minute to turn it on again.

Presets: Presets are provided that optimize the projector for displaying computer presentations, photographs, film images, and video images. Film input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a movie; video input is material originally captured on a video camera, like a TV show or sporting event. You can use the preset as a starting point, then further customize the settings for each source. The settings you customize are saved in the preset for each source. To restore the factory default settings, choose Factory Reset in the Settings>Service menu (page 40). There is also a user-definable preset. To set a preset for the current source, adjust the image, select Save User in the Presets menu, then select Yes. You can recall these settings in the future by selecting the User 1 preset.

Advanced menu

Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting. Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video sources. It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the input signal. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709 or REC601 for component video sources. Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed relative warmth value. Color Control: allows you to individually adjust the gain (relative warmth of the color) and the offset (the amount of black in the color) of the red, green, and blue colors. Video Standard: when it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to automatically pick the video standard based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image may appear torn. If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu. Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image. Sync Threshold Adjust: If a hardware device, such as a DVD player, is not syncing properly with the projector, select this option to help it to sync when connected to the projector. The following four (4) options are for computer sources only. Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source. Tracking: adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source. Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of a computer source. White Peaking: increases the brightness of whites that are near 100%.

Startup Logo: allows you to display a blank screen instead of the default screen at startup, and when no source is detected. Blank Screen: determines what color is displayed when you press the Blank button on the remote.

Effect Key: allows you to assign a different function to the Effect button on the remote, allowing you to quickly and easily use the effect. Highlight an effect and press Select to choose a different one. Blank: displays an empty screen. Mute: turns off all sound. Aspect Ratio: toggles among 4:3, 16:9, and Native (see page 16 and page 35). Set as the Effect Key, it can allow you to switch the Aspect Ratio for DVDs. Source: cycles through available sources. Auto Image: resets the projector to the source (page 31). Freeze: pauses the projected image. About: the default effect. It opens a window with projector and source information.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Lens
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and dont apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you
dont intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.
Replacing the Projection Lamp
The lamp hours used timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message Change lamp appears on the screen at startup. If the maximum lamp time is exceeded, the lamp will not light. In this case, after replacing the lamp you must reset the lamp hours by simultaneously pressing both Volume buttons on the keypad and holding them for 10 seconds. NOTE: You can order new lamp housings from your dealer. See the Packing list for information. Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and rating as the original lamp.

4 Loosen the two captive screws that attach the lamp housing to the projector.
5 Detach the lamp connector from the projector by depressing the locking
tab on the connector and lightly pulling it free. WARNING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes before you replace the lamp. Do not drop the lamp housing or touch the glass bulb! The glass may shatter and cause injury. Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp housing is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp housing. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see www.eiae.org.

Cleaning the Lamp Housing Screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the two dust filter screens in the lamp housing can become clogged, causing high temperatures and premature lamp failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you should clean the screen every 250 hours.
