Cautions
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything near these slots, or internal heat
build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.
When you replace the projector lamp, never touch the new bulb with your bare
hands. The invisible residue left by the oil on your hands may shorten the
bulb ‘s life span. Use of lint-free gloves or finger cots is recommended.
Preventing Internal Heat Build-Up
After you turn off the power with the Power button, do not disconnect the unit from
the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
Repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever need to send your unit back. For maximum protection, repack your unit as
it was originally packed at the factory.

Setup
This section provides you with instructions on how to unpack and set up your projector
and connect it to other equipment. The projector must be connected to a computer
or a video source such as a DVD or laser disk player in order to make a projection.
You may want to connect the projector to both your computer and a video source, or
set up the projector for one or more of the following:
Connect the mouse cable to use the remote control as a mouse.
Provide audio for one or both image sources. The audio source can be the
computer, video source, or another device such as a stereo.
Unpacking the Projector
The projector is shipped with the necessary cables required for standard PC or
laptop computer connections. Carefully unpack and verify that you have all the items
shown below. If any of these items are missing, please contact your local dealer.

Many of the above optional items may not be required for your particular installation.
Retain packaging materials in case you need to move or ship the projector in the
future. It should always be transported in its original protective packaging or the
equivalent.
Installation
1. Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface within five feet of the computer or
video source.
Do not hold the projector by the lens. That may damage the lens.
2. Place the projector in correct distance from the screen. The distance between the
projector and the screen determines the actual image size. Use the following
general guidelines to determine the correct distance.

3. When replacing batteries, take the following precautions:
Do not recharge used batteries or expose batteries to fire or water.
Replace batteries as soon as they run out. If the batteries leak, wipe away
the fluid with a soft cloth. If battery fluid gets onto your hands wash them
immediately.
Remove the batteries if you will not be using the projector for a long period.

Connecting to a Computer
The projector will always project at XGA (1024 x 768) resolution. (XGA is the native
resolution of the projector.) However, you can connect the projector to a computer
source capable of displaying VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600), XGA, or SXGA
(1280 x 1024) resolutions.The projector will resize VGA, SVGA, and SXGA input
automatically for projection at XGA resolution. The types of computers supported
by this projector include IBM, Macintosh and Apple compatible laptop or desktop
PCs (PC compatibles).

Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect the projector to almost any common video source - VHS player,
DVD player, camcorder, laser disc player or any other compatible video image source.
The projector can accept composite, component, or S-Video signals:
Composite video is characterized by a single-pin “RCA-type” video jack, usually
colored yellow.
Component video (YPbPr) is less common and features three “RCA-type” video
jacks, typically colored green, blue and red.
S-Video is readily identified by a single connector with four small pins.
You can connect the projector simultaneously to composite, component, and S-Video
sources. You can select which video source to project using the Control Panel or
Remote Control. If the Auto Search feature is ON (see later section- OSD SOURCE:
AUTO SOURCE of this manual), the projector will automatically detect and select a
source. The projector supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM video formats. The projector

Projector 19
.English.
will automatically detect and identify the video format. Note that even though the
projector can connect to multiple sources simultaneously it can only accept one
video format at a time.
Each of the three video types requires their respective cable. Composite video and S-Video
cables are included with the projector. If lost, they are readily available at electronics
stores and are commonly included with each video source device. For component-
video (YPbPr), use the optional componemt cable from you dealer. Finally, connect
your video source to the projector using the appropriate cable.
Note:
The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style coaxial “F” connector.
