about DLP™ technology
Thank you for purchasing a Cinego
projector. Cinego uses cutting-edge
technology to bring you the best quality
projection for your home theater.
clarity
DLP™ technology comes closer than any
other display solution to reproducing the
exact mirror image of its source material.
That’s why images projected by DLP™
technology are always crystal clear.
The DMD chip is probably the world’s most
sophisticated light switch. It contains a
rectangular array of up to 1.3 million hinge-
mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these
micromirrors measures less than one-fifth
the width of a human hair.
When a DMD chip is coordinated with a
digital video or graphic signal, a light source,
and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect
an all-digital image onto a screen or other
surface. The DMD and the sophisticated
electronics that surround it are what we call
Digital Light Processing™ technology.
The thousands of mirrors making up the
Digital Micromirror Device at the heart of
DLP™ technology are spaced less than one
micron apart, resulting in a very high “fill
factor.” By minimizing the gaps between
pixels in a projected image, DLP™ projection
systems create a seamless digital picture
that’s sharp at any size—without the
pixellation or “screen door” effect apparent
in other technologies.
color
DLP™ technology reproduces a range of
colors up to eight times greater than that of
analog projection systems.
In televisions and home theater systems,
DLP™ projection creates rich blacks and
darker shades than is possible with other
technologies.
You may notice that this unit is not quite
as bright as a computer projector. This is
because its optical color system is tailored
for a cinematic experience.
reliability
DLP™ technology makes projectors, home
theater systems and televisions more
robust and more reliable.
tried and true
DLP™ technology is in use wherever visual
excellence is in demand. In fact, it’s the
only display solution that enables movie
projectors, televisions, home theater
systems and business projectors to create
an entirely digital connection between a
graphic or video source and the screen in
front of you.
The result is maximum fidelity: a picture
whose clarity, brilliance and color must be
seen to be believed.
playable formats
Your projector will play the following types
of discs:
• CD • CD-R/RW • DVD-R • VCD
• SVCD • DVD-RW • DVD+RW • DVD+R*
• DVD • Picture CD
*Some DVD+R discs may not be supported.
regional code
This DVD player is designed and
maunfactured for playback of region “1”
encoded DVD software. This unit can play
only DVD discs labeled “1” or “ALL”.
Clearly visible on the cover of
most DVDs, you’ll find a picture
of a globe with one or more
numbers on it. This number must
match your DVD player’s regional
code. Otherwise, the disc cannot
play properly.

Connect your projector to your sub woofer
to experience higher-quality audio, via the
audio cable, as shown.
setting up your projector
find the ideal location for your new projector
Before you use your projector, be sure you carefully consider where you are going to place
it. Think about the size and shape of your screen, location of power outlets, and the distance
between the projector and the rest of your equipment.
CAUTION: DO NOT place your projector directly on a varnished wood surface. This
projector produces a large amount of heat over time and will discolor wood furniture.
CAUTION: DO NOT move your projector at all while the lamp is hot. Wait until your
projector has cooled before you change its position or adjust its height.
• Place your projector on a surface with adequate ventilation. Do not put it on thick carpeting,
which can restrict air flow, or near a heat source such as a heater vent or radiator, which can
cause it to overheat.
• Position your projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be
at least 39 inches from the projection screen.
• Your desired picture size will determine how far away from the screen you should position
your projector. The farther back you place the projector, the larger your picture will be (see
page 27).

adjusting your projector
On Screen Display (OSD) Menus vary depending on what type of source you are using.
adjusting the shape of your picture
To adjust keystone and aspect ratio, access the Display menu as described below.
keystone
Keystone is a term we use to describe what happens when a projector is not aligned
properly with the screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The
image shape resembles a trapezoid rather than a square.
aspect ratio
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the projected picture’s width to its height. For example,
the ratio of this rectangle is w:h.
Widescreen pictures have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (or sixteen by nine). Full screen
pictures have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (or four by three). DVD movies should be marked
either wide screen or full screen. We suggest that you set your aspect ratio to 16:9
for wide screen movies and 4:3 for full screen movies.
