Introduction 1
Projector Features
Image Resolution
Fully compatible with true SVGA(63PA)/XGA(65PA), and supports SXGA
using advanced intelligent compression technology. The advanced
intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear
compression SVGA/XGA images without line omission.
Brightness
Provides superior brightness using TI’s Digital Micromirror Device
(DMD) and our own optical design, with a geometric effect that
increases light usage efficiency. By increasing the light usage
efficiency we can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB)
required for color reproduction on a single DMD.
Portability
This projector has a sophisticated shape, like that of an attaché
case, with a retractable carrying handle that is extremely compact
and lightweight. It helps you make powerful presentations wherever
you go with its 5-pound weight and B5 size.
Keystone
The projection position is already set to the height of the line of
vision; there is no keystone effect. Even when projecting above or
under the height of the line of vision, image distortion (if any) can
be adjusted using the hotkey “KEYSTONE” correction function.
Multilanguage
The OSD (On Screen Display: information screens and menus) in 7
languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Simplified
Chinese and Traditional Chinese) provides you with additional
information to help you make corrections with OSD operation in your
native languages.
Auto Detect System
This projector can detect display signals from PCs with frequently
used timing automatically or use hotkey “AUTO” to do the optimization
simultaneously. It does not require complicated adjustments in order
to project picture images from PCs.

G
H
A
Ceiling Mount and Rear Screen Projection
The projector is equipped with a full mirror scan conversion function
(vertical/horizontal mirror), which allows the image to be reversed
for ceiling mounting as well as for rear projection applications.
AV box
An AV box is optional, and users can attach one or two to the
projector. Additionally, our AV box video standard is compatible
with:
NTSC U.S. and Canada standard
PAL Western Europe standard
SECAM France and Eastern Europe standard
NTSC4.43 Middle East standard
If users want to watch CATV, AV box will serve the need.

Replace the lens cover and rotate the feet fully clockwise (to
shorten the feet) when moving the projector to prevent damage to the
projector.
Caution
The carry bag (supplied) is intended to protect the projector from
dust and scratches on the surface of the cabinet. It is not designed
to protect the projector from external shock.
Do not transport the projector in an unsuitable transport case by
