Chapter 2. Setting up the projector
This chapter provides information on positioning the projector, connecting a
computer source, using the projector with Windows
®
98, and displaying and
adjusting a computer source image.
Note: You can use your projector with Presentation Director to plan and give
presentations with confidence. You can ensure that your computer and
display will not turn off or go blank during a presentation, be sure your
graphics and text will be as crisp and clear, and save important display
settings for future presentations with the same equipment. For additional
information on Presentation Director, go to the
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support Web site and search on ″Presentation
Director.″
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. Following are some general guidelines:
vPosition the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The
projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5 m) from the projection screen.
vPosition 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.
vPosition 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, as shown in Figure 2-1.
For more information about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected
image size” on page 2-7.
vThe image exits the projector at a given angle, as shown in Figure 2-2 on
page 2-2. The image offset is 112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 default mode.
This means that if you have an image 10 ft high, the bottom of the image will be
1.22 ft above the center of the lens.
3.3 ft
5 ft
12.5 ft
4.9 ft 7.5 ft 19 ft
Figure 2-1. Projection distances
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2003 2-1

vThis image offset is 124.7% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that
if you have an image 10 feet high, the bottom of the image will be 2.47 feet
above the center of the lens. For additional information on 16:9 and 4:3 mode,
see “Connecting a video device” on page 3-1.
vDo not place the projector on tablecloths or other soft coverings that may block
the front or back vents.
vDo not place objects within 2 feet of the front of the projector.
Connecting a computer source
This section provides information on required and optional computer connections.
Required computer connections
To connect a computer source to the projector, complete the following procedure:
1. Connect one end of the computer cable to the dark blue Computer In
connector on the projector, as shown in Figure 2-3.

2 Bottom of image (1.22 ft above lens)
3 Lens center
Figure 2-2. Projection angle in 4:3 default mode
Figure 2-3. Connecting the projector to a computer
2-2 IBM iLV300 Value Data/Video Projector: User’s Guide

2. Connect the other end to the video port on your computer, as shown in
Figure 2-3 on page 2-2. If you are using a desktop computer, you will need to
disconnect the monitor cable from the computer video port first.
3. Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the side of the
projector and to your electrical outlet, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Note: Only use the power cord that was shipped with the projector.
For more information on using the projector with a video device, see “Connecting
a video device” on page 3-1.
Optional computer connections
To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your computer
and to the Audio In connector on the projector, as shown in Figure 2-5.
If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your computer
screen as well as on the projection screen, connect the monitor cable from your
computer to the Computer In connector. Then, connect the computer monitor cable
to the Monitor Out connector on the projector, as shown in Figure 2-6 on page 2-4.

Chapter 2. Setting up the projector 2-3

To control your computer mouse using the projector remote control, connect the
projector to the computer with a USB cable (not included), as shown in Figure 2-7.
USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For more information, see
“Using the projector with Windows 98”.
Using the projector with Windows 98
The first time you connect a computer running Windows 98 to the projector, the
computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add New Hardware
Wizard screen appears. To use the Wizard to load the correct driver (which was
installed with your Windows operating system), complete the following procedure:
Note: If you are running Windows 2000 or Windows ME, skip these steps and
continue with “Adjusting the image” on page 2-5. If you are running
Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP and you connected the USB
cable, the USB drivers are automatically installed.
1. After the Add New Hardware Wizard screen appears, click Next to begin
searching for the driver.
2. Select Search for the best driver.
3. Click Next.
4. Uncheck any checked boxes, then click Next. Windows automatically locates
the driver. If this driver has been removed, reload the driver using your
Windows operating system CD.
5. When Windows finds the driver, click Next to install the driver.
Figure 2-6. Connecting the monitor cables
Figure 2-7. Connecting the projector and computer with a USB connector
2-4 IBM iLV300 Value Data/Video Projector: User’s Guide

If you are running Windows 98 and you connected the USB cable, the Add New
Hardware Wizard appears again. Drivers must be installed to use the USB
functionality. The Wizard launches three times:
vThe first time it detects a USB Composite Device.
vThe second time a USB Human Interface Device (for the keyboard).
vThe third time it detects a USB Human Interface Device (for the mouse).
Displaying a computer source image
To display a computer source, complete the following procedure:
1. Remove the lens cap.
2. Toggle the power switch on the side of the projector to the on position.
The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the
start up screen displays and the LED is steady green. It can take a minute for
the image to achieve full brightness.
3. Turn on your computer.
The computer image should appear on the projection screen. If it does not,
press the Computer button on the projector keypad.
If your computer has Windows 98 as its operating system, see “Using the
projector with Windows 98” on page 2-4 regarding the driver setup process.
4. Make sure your laptop external video port is active.
Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a
projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F7 is used to turn
the external display on and off. Refer to your laptop documentation to learn
your laptop’s key combination.
Adjusting the image
To adjust the image, complete the following procedure:
1. Adjust the height of the projector, if necessary, by pressing the release button to
extend the foot, as shown in Figure 2-8.
2. If necessary, rotate the leveling foot located at the rear of the projector, as
shown in Figure 2-9 on page 2-6.

Note: Avoid placing your hands near the hot exhaust vent in front of the
projector.
3. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen at a 90° angle to the
screen. See Table 2-1 on page 2-7 for a listing of screen sizes and distances.
4. Adjust the zoom or focus on the projector.
5. If the image is not square, adjust the keystone using the buttons on the keypad.
Press the top Keystone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press
the bottom Keystone button to reduce the lower part. Figure 2-12 on page 2-7
shows an illustration of the Keystone buttons on the projector keypad.
