INTRODUCTION
The InFocus®LP330™ is specifically designed for the mobile pre-
senter. It packs XGA 1024x768 graphics with 16.7 million colors
into a small, 4.8 pound package. It generates crisp, clear images
using Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) technology. The LP330 is
easy to connect, easy to use, easy to transport, and easy to main-
tain.
NOTE: The LP330 automatically
expands 640x480 and 800x600
images to 1024x768. You can dis-
play these images at their native
resolutions by turning off the Auto
Resize feature. See “Auto Resize”
on page 21 for more information.
Image Resolution
The XGA resolution of the LP330’s projected image is 1024x768.
The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above
1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than
1024x768, 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 1024x768
resolution.
•Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768
resolution.
•Most standard VCRs, DVD players, camcorders and laser disc
players.
Unpacking the Projector
The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to
make sure all are included. Contact your InFocus dealer imme-
diately if anything is missing.
If you are experienced in setting up presentation systems, use the
Quick Start card that was included in the shipping box. For com-
plete details on connecting and operating the projector, refer to
this User’s Guide. User’s Guides are also available for download

Usage Guidelines
•Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
•Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
•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.
•Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 37.

1Place the projector on a flat surface.
•The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
•If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”
on page 24 to reverse the image.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
•The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image.
Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes. For more infor-
mation about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on
page 44.

Connecting a Computer
1Plug one end of the VESA computer cable into the video con-
nector on your computer.
NOTE: Many laptop computers
do not automatically turn on their
external video port when a sec-
ondary display device such as a
projector is connected. Refer to
your computer manual for the
command that activates the exter-
nal video port. Activation com-
mands for some laptop computers
are listed in the Appendix of this
manual on page 38 and in the
Service section of our website.
2Plug the other end of the VESA computer cable into the
connector on the projector.
FIGURE 5
Connecting the projector to a computer
Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the projector?
NOTE: If you are connecting an
older Macintosh computer that
does not have a 15-pin connector,
you must use a Mac adaptor
between the computer and the
projector. See “Optional Accesso-
ries” on page 37.
1Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on
your computer.
2Plug the other end of the audio cable into the connector
on the projector.

Setting up the Projector
Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s
remote or keypad?
If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.
1Plug the end of the PS/2 mouse cable with 6 pins into the
mouse connector on your computer.
2Plug the end of the PS/2 mouse cable with 9 pins into the
connector on the projector.
If your computer has a USB connector and is running Windows 98,
use the USB mouse cable.
NOTE: The USB mouse is
supported for use with
Windows 98 only.
1Plug the end of the USB mouse cable into the
mouse connector on your computer.
2Plug the end of the USB mouse cable into the connector
on the projector.
You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your
computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the
appropriate drivers.
Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop.
Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on
page 11.
NOTE: You do not need to restart
your computer after connecting a
USB mouse to use it (it is hot-
pluggable). You must restart your
computer after plugging in a PS-2
mouse.

Connecting a Video Player
1If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter,
and composite video cable that shipped with the projector.
•If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con-
nector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio
cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold sepa-
rately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 37.)
2Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the
“video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 6). This
connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”
•If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video
out” connector on the video player (Figure 7).
3Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-
nector on the projector.
•If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into
the “S-video” connector on the projector (Figure 7).

out” connector on your video player. Plug the adapter’s red
connector into the right “audio out” connector on the video
player (Figure 6 and Figure 7).

The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, and SECAM.
It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the
incoming video. See “Video Standard” on page 23 for details.
