A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight
performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior
uniformity and edge-to-edge definition.
A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so
called “rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better
colorimetry and a lower black level to the image.
The renowned DCDi™technology is adopted for deinterlacing:
conversion from interlaced to progressive produces a smooth
and natural image, without flickering, loss of vertical resolution
and jaggedness along diagonal lines.
The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans – en-
sures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability.
To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the
use of a good quality screen and surround-sound system.
Contact your nearest authorized SIM2 Multimedia dealer for
further details.
SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing in order
to guarantee the maximum product quality.
For this reason, when you start using the product lamp ope-
rating hours may already be at between 30 and 60.
In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control depart-
ment performs additional statistical tests at the time of
shipment.
In this case the packing may show signs of having been
opened, and the accumulated lamp operating hours may
be slightly higher than the hours associated with the stand-
ard tests.

Using the very latest in DLP™ technology, this projector has
been designed specifically for high quality “Home Cinema”
applications.
Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs
enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD
players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital sa-
tellite receivers and personal computers etc.
The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to
be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like
installation (Fig. 2).

Fig. 12
For rear projection the screen must be translucent.
For front projection, we recommend the use of screens with low
gain specifications (i.e. 1.3 to 2). The use of high gain screens
should be avoided due to their limited viewing angle, which is
undesirable for a large audience.
Preferably, use a screen with black, non-reflecting borders,
which will perfectly frame the projected image.
Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as
this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected
image. For the true cinema experience best results are achie-

11

ved with little or no ambient light.
Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as
light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to
interfere with the screen’s characteristics.
5 SWITCHING ON AND OFF THE PROJECTOR
CAUTION: Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal voltage within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60

(red and green LEDs flashing) and will stop automatically after
this period.
LED INDICATORS
The LED indicators, located in the top-rear of the projector,
provide information about the state of the projector (see
table below).
6 CONNECTIONS
To obtain the best performance from your projector, we recom-
mend the use of good quality “video cables” to the various
signal sources (75 ohm Impedance).
Poor quality cables will cause inferior picture performance.
For optimum connectivity we recommend you follow these
simple steps:
- With exception of coaxial RCA/Phono type connectors,
always double-check that the plug is inserted the correct
way round to avoid damaging the plugs or the sockets on
the projector (Fig. 16).
- Remove cables by the plug and do not pull on the cable
itself.
- Avoid tangled cables.
- Position the cables carefully to avoid a trip hazard - especially
in low light areas.

This input is suitable for a RGB video signal, or for a Component
(YCrCb) type, with composite synchronisation on the green
signal (RGsB) or on the luminance (Y) signal (YsCrCb) through a
cable with RCA/Phono type connector (Fig. 20).
RGB or YCrCb signals can also have H+V Composite Sync.
In this case connect the R, G, B (or Y, Cr, Cb) outputs of the
source to the respective R/Cr, G/Y, B/Cb inputs of the projector
(paying attention not to invert the positions) and the synchroni-
sation signal to the HV input . When connecting the three sets
of RCA connectors use the colours as a guide: connector R is

source. The video signals that can be connected to this input
can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard
video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scanning video,
high definition video).
Some sources provide the facility to choose between a progres-
sive signal or an interlaced signal.
HDMI™
With this input it is possible to integrate the optimal quality of a digital
image with a multichannel audio signal.
The HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) in fact integrates
a multichannel audio signal with the uncompressed high definition
video signal.
The interface also allows the exchange between the video source
and the HT system of control data to optimise the quality of the
projected image.
The HDMI™ input allows connection to video sources that use the
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to protect
their contents. This protocol is in fact incorporated in the definition of
the HDMI™ technology.

The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12 Vdc) for
motorised projection screen and screen masking systems. These
12V outputs should be connected to the appropriate screen
interface provided by the screen manufacturer (Fig. 22).
The +12V output is activated when the projector is switched
on (green LED on) and is de-activated when the projector is in
stand-by mode (red LED on).
The output can be used to control a screen masking system;
its output can be set with the “Screen control” adjustment in the
“Aspect” menu. This output allows reduction in the area of a
16:9 screen, into a 4:3 format, by activating a screen masking
system (refer to screen manufacturer for further information).
Fig. 21a
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI™ input,
internal processing by the projector separates the video information
from the audio information. This information is then made available
via an optical digital output with a female TOSLINK connector in ac-
cordance with the S/PDIF standard.

showing the signal requested. As soon as the signal is shown
in the box additional information is displayed concerning the
INPUTS
The input selection menu (Inputs) is called by pressing 0 on the
remote control and, when no other menu is displayed, using
the ·and ‚keys on the keypad. To select an input, scroll the
list with the ·and ‚keys until the desired input is highlighted,
then press ‡.
Display of the input selection menu is terminated by pressing the
ESC key, or when the time allowed for displaying the on-screen
menu has lapsed (set in the Set-up Menu).
Input 3 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals, at 15 kHz, 32 kHz
or higher. The association between the input and the type of
signal is made from the pull-down menu that appears on the
right of the < symbol after pressing the flkey (Fig. 26b).

The various menus only offer the relevant adjustments in ac-
cordance with the type of input signal displayed (e.g. certain
typical adjustments for video signals, not necessary for graphic
signals, do not appear on the menus, and vice versa).
Some adjustments (e.g. BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST ) are associated
with a numerical value that can be varied within the set limits
using the keys fl/ ‡. For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE ) you can choose
among three options presented on the same
fl/ ‡).

PICTURE
This menu features the adjustments related to picture quality.
Adjustments that are not available for a given input do not
appear on the menu. Table 1 summarises the adjustments
available for each input.
BRIGHTNESS
Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without
affecting white areas. Increasing the value will give more detail
in darker parts of the picture. For correct adjustment it may prove
useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale within which
the black level and the level immediately above it must be
separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed of
black objects alongside other dark coloured objects.
CONTRAST
Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affec-
ting white areas.
To ensure correct adjustment, it may prove useful to display the
signal relative to the grey scale, within which the white level and
the level immediately below it must be separately identifiable.
Alternatively use a scene composed of well-lit white objects
surrounded by light coloured objects with lower level lighting.
COLOR
This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases
the picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images
will be shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to
find the point at which the colours look natural: suitable referen-
ces include skin tones and grass in landscape shots.
TINT
Controls the purity of the colours. Basically determines the
red-green ratio of the picture.
Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the pictu-
re, increasing the value will boost the green tones. For this
adjustment use skin tones or a test pattern image with colour
bars as a reference.
SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of
picture detail.
When the sharpness value is reduced the image details
appear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises
image definition, making the outline of objects sharper.
Note that an excessively high value may result in a ‘noisy’ picture
and the edges of objects may be unnaturally defined.
SHARPNESS MODE
This allows you to select the type of processing associated
with sharpness adjustment. In the case of a progressive or in-
terlaced video signal VIDEO mode is advisable; with PC graphic
signals use GRAPHIC MODE .
FILTER
This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal
is processed. Selecting the most appropriate value for a given
input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition
and makes the picture sharper.

Tab. 1INPUT SIGNALS AND ADJUSTABLE/SETTING ITEMS
CINEMA MODE
In AUTO the deinterlacer recognises if the video signal source
is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with 3:2 or
2:2 pull-down) and applies a deinterlace algorithm optimised
for this type of signal.
If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you select
NO the deinterlacer applies a Motion compensated algorithm
optimised for video camera signals.
VIDEO TYPE
Activates a filter to improve stability of pictures from video re-
corders or DVD Players. To toggle between NORMAL, VCR1 mode
and VCR2 mode press on the remote control.
NOISE REDUCTION
This adjustments allows to choose the filter value for noise
reduction purposes.
As soon as this option is selected on the menu, the image is
divided in two parts.
In the left side the image is not altered by the filter, in the right
part the filter is activated.
This allows you to compare the effect of the filter.
It is possible to deactivated the filter ( NOT ACTIVE ), to use the au-
tomatic adjustments ( AUTO ) or to manually select ( MANUAL ) the
value suitable for the image with the VALUE adjustment.
In case of using the VALUE adjustement, it is enoght to select
to cursor below and set the value with the fl/ ‡keys of the
remote control.

IMAGE
This menu features adjustments relating to picture position,
aspect ratio, etc.
ASPECT
This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and
aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the
displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and
three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You
can select a different aspect for each source: the selected
aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the
relative source is called.
You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly
pressing the key, or by pressing and a numerical key
(1...8).
The following aspects are available.
NORMAL : projects the image occupying the full height of the
screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal.
When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands
are displayed on the right and left of the picture.
ANAMORPHIC : allows a 16:9 picture to be displayed correctly.
LETTERBOX : serves to display 4:3 letterbox image (with source si-
gnal having black bands above and below the picture) so that
it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio.
PANORAMIC : this aspect stretches the 4:3 image, slightly cropping
the upper and lower parts.
Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9
screen of the Display.
PIXEL TO PIXEL : this aspect displays the image as it is input without
adapting it to the screen.
The image is projected in the centre of the screen and if its ho-
rizontal and/or vertical dimensions are smaller than the display,
it is bounded by vertical and/or horizontal black bands.
USER 1, 2, 3: When none of the preset formulas are suitable, the
User formulas are available, with the facility for continuous
horizontal and vertical adjustment of picture size.
SCREEN CONTROL
For each aspect chosen, the SCREEN CONTROL command
allows you to reframe the screen to a variety of aspect ratios
and screen size, using an appropriate screen-masking interface
connected to the 12 V output socket (please refer to the screen
manufacture’s manual)
COLOR TEMPERATURE
Changes the colour balance of the image.
Colours can be adjusted towards the red end of the spectrum
(low colour temperature values - expressed in degrees Kelvin)
or the blue end (high values).
Colour temperature can be selected with three preset values:
HIGH (corresponding to approx. 9000 degrees Kelvin), MEDIUM
(approx. 8000 degrees Kelvin), LOW (approx. 6500 degrees
Kelvin) and one PERSONAL setting controlled by the user with
separate adjustments for RED, GREEN and BLUE .
In the personale color adjustment for all three colors it is possible
to set an Offset value and Gain.
The Offset adjustments have an impact of the low IRE values,
while the Gain adjustments impact of the higher IRE values.
Generally, the HIGH value is more suitable for displaying graphic
images, MEDIUM and LOW for video images.
These adjustments are reserved for expert users since there is a
risk of obtaining results that impair projected image quality.
GAMMA CORRECTION
Determines the system’s response to the grey scale, empha-
sising or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks,
dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image.
The GRAPHICS setting is more suitable for computer images,
while the FILM and VIDEO settings are more suitable for video
images.
OVERSCAN
Remove noise around image. Some sources can produce a
picture with noise along edges, thanks to the overscan function
it is possible to drop such imperfections outside the projected
area. The overscan value can be included between 0 (no
overscan) and 32 (maximum value). The image maintains in
any case the aspect.
POSITION
Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizon-
tally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment becau-
se the system checks the input signal and automatically sets
the
