Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:
1. Floor in front of screen;
2. Ceiling in front of screen;
3. Floor at rear of screen;
4. Ceiling at rear of screen.
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as
the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.
If you use the projector with wireless function, there's no need to worry about data cable connections.
This gives you the flexibility to site the projector anywhere in the room up to a range of 20m away
from your notebook, and switch between presentations on different notebooks instantly without
fiddling with cables
I. Floor front
Select this location with the projector placed near the
floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way
to position the projector for quick setup and portability.
II. Ceiling front
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the Thomson Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit
from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.
III. Floor rear
Select this location with the projector placed near the
floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.

13
IV. Ceiling rear
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the
Thomson Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required for
this installation location.

14
Connection
When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.
In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping
on tents" on page 6). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
Cable connection
Connecting a computer
The projector provides a VGA socket that allows you to connect it to a notebook or desktop computer.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer (either through a
VGA cable):
1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the D-SUB/COMP IN signal input socket on the projector.
3. If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, take a suitable audio
cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the computer, and the other end to the
AUDIO IN socket of the projector.
 A Mac adapter (an optional accessory) is needed if you are connecting legacy version
Macintosh computers.
 Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector.
Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a
function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press
FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook’s documentation to
find your notebook’s key combination.
Connecting Video source devices
This section describes how to connect the projector to Video source devices using video cables. Video cable
connections are recommended for Video presentations.
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output
sockets:
 Component Video
 S-Video
 Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting

15
methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely
depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as
described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital
TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your
connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video.
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to
use the S-Video option.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your
projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.
Connecting Audio
The projector has a built-in mono speaker that is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data
presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as
might be expected in home theatre or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into
a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source
device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.
The audio connections illustrated in the following sections are provided for informational purposes only. You need
not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound system available, or if audio is not required.

Operation
Start up
1. Plug the power cord into the projector and into a wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted).
Check that the Power indicator on our projector adapter lights orange after power has been applied.
2. Plug the DC plug into Projector’s 15VDC socket. Remove the lens cap. If it is left on, it could become
deformed due to the heat produced by the projection lamp.
3. Switch on the main power at the left side of projector. Check that Power inductor on the projector lights
green.
3. Press the Power button on the remote control or projector to start the unit. The Power indicator lights off
and lights green after 3 seconds when the unit is on.
4. The start up procedure takes about 5 seconds after pressing Power and mage will appear as normal
(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.
If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 45
seconds before energizing the lamp.
5. Switch all of the connected equipment on.
6. You can also press Source on the projector or remote control to select your desired input signal. For more
information, please refer to "Switching input signal" on page 29.
If the frequency/ resolution of the input signal exceeds the projector’s operating range, you will see
the message “Out Range” displayed on a blue screen.
Switching input signal
The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
However, it can only display one at a time. To cycle through the available
input sources, press the Enter button on the projector control panel or the
Source button on the remote control. The selected source name will display
at the Top-Left of the screen for 10 seconds after each button press.
The brightness level of the projected image will change accordingly
when you switch between different input signals. Data (graphic) "PC"
presentations using mostly static images are generally brighter than
"Video" using mostly moving images (movies).
The input type effects the options available for the Application Mode. See "Selecting an application
mode" on page 29 for details.

17
Shutdown
1. Press Power to turn the projector off.
2. The Power indicator light flashes green and the lamp shuts down, the fans continue to run for
approximately 45 seconds to cool down the projector.
 To protect the lamp, the projector will not respond to any commands during the cooling process.
 To shorten the cooling time, you can also activate the Quick cooling function.
3. Switch off the main Power at the left side and disconnect the power cord at the adaptor from the wall
socket.
 Do not unplug the adaptor or power cord before the projector shutdown sequence is complete or during
the 45-second cooling down process.
 If the projector is not properly shut down, you risk damaging the lamp. Do not move the projector whilst
the lamp is hot.
