projection lamp with a lamp of the specified type. Refer to
page 45 for lamp specifications and to page 37 for instructions on
replacing the lamp.
Lamp Compartment
To avoid burns, do not open the lamp module door until the pro-
jector is turned off and the lamp has cooled for at least 30 min-
utes. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement
carefully.
Hot Surfaces
Allow the projector to cool at least 30 minutes before replacing a
lamp. When you open the lamp housing, be very careful not to
touch the hot surfaces inside.
Ventilation and Overheating
Openings in the projector case provide ventilation to protect it
from overheating. Keep loose papers and other objects well away
from the grills. Do not place the projector on top of or close to a
computer or other heat-producing equipment.
Liquid Spills
Do not set drinks on top of the projector. Spilled liquids can flow
inside and cause damage.
NOTE: If you open the projector

INTRODUCTION
The In Focus LP 1000 is an XGA multimedia projector designed
for fixed installations. It allows 3 computer and 2 video inputs,
along with RS-232 control.
Image Resolution
NOTE: The 1000 automatically
expands 640x480 and 800x600
images to fill the screen. You can
display these images at their origi-
nal resolutions by turning off the
Auto Resize feature. See “Auto
Resize” on page 31 for more infor-
mation.
The LP 1000 can display VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA images.
The native resolution of the 1000’s projected image is XGA
1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024
are compressed to 1024x768. The 1000 cannot compress screen
resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen resolu-
tion is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution before
you connect the projector.
Compatibility
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and
video devices, including:
•IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024
resolution at 75 Hz.
•Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1280x1024
resolution.
•Selected workstations (contact your In Focus dealer for details).
(The BNC connections for workstations are listed on page 55.)
NOTE: The LP 1000 is compati-
ble with many third-party control-
lers and amplifiers, including
AMX, Crestron, and Extron. Call In
Focus Customer Service for details.
•Most standard VCRs, camcorders, DVD and laser disc players.

Introduction
Usage Guidelines
•Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
•Do not block the grills on the projector. Do not place the projec-
tor on cloth table coverings, as they may get sucked up to the
vents. Restricting the air flow can cause the projector to over-
heat and turn off.
•Handle the projector as you would any product with glass
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
•Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach
room temperature before use.
•This projector is not intended for use in mainframe computer
rooms as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Elec-
tronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
•Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 47. Call your In
Focus dealer to order.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1Place the projector on a flat surface.
•The projector must be within 7.5 feet (2.3 m) of your power
source.
NOTE: An optional extension
cable, sold separately, lets you
increase the distance between the
projector and your computer to
70 feet (21 m). See “Optional
Accessories” on page 47.
•If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
LP 1000 Series Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes
with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn
the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 34. The Ceil-
ing Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 48.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
•The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and
minimum and maximum distances to the screen.
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷ .541
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷ .716
NOTE: For a similar table for the
optional long throw and short
throw lenses, see page 54 of the
Appendix.

Setting up the Projector
FIGURE 4
Projected image size for 10’ diagonal image size
The LP 1000 is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you
to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall)
without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly
square image. Turn the lens shift knob on top of the projector to
make this adjustment (see Figure 3 on page 3).
NOTE: The lens shift is not
adjustable on the optional short
throw lens. It is fixed at zero
degrees.
The bottom of the image can move from half way below the pro-
jector’s lens (Figure 5) to 25% above the lens (Figure 6).
Example: With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bot-
tom of the image is 5’ below the projector’s lens; at the highest
projection angle, the bottom of the image is 2.5’ above the lens.

Setting up the Projector
The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and
ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens
shift position represents the highest the projector can be above
the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents
the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.
When the projector is ceiling mounted, use the upper edge of the
screen as the base line.
