Section 2 Installation & Setup
This section explains how to install and set up the projector. If you are familiar with the projector and want to
quickly set it up for temporary use, follow the Quick Setup instructions in Section 2.1. For a complete setup, skip
Section 2.1 and follow the instructions and guides covered in the remaining subsections.
2.1 Quick Setup
Follow these 7 steps for quick set up of the projector:
Step 1. Position the Projector
To perform a quick setup, the projector must be positioned so that the throw distance is the same
as that used during the most recent optical alignment; otherwise a detailed setup is required. The
throw distance is the distance between the center lens on the projector and the center of the
projection screen.
Note: If an optical lens alignment is required, refer to Section 2.5, Optical Alignment.
Step 2. Connect the Power Cord
Plug the AC line cord into the line input unit on the electronic chassis. Plug the three prong end
of the line cord in a grounded AC outlet.
Note: Input voltage must be between 90 VAC and 264 VAC.
Note: Ensure the line cord is the proper type for the AC receptacle.
Step 3. Connect a Source
Connect a source to the projector's built-in RGB input (slot 1). Ensure the source is on and
properly connected.
Step 4. Turn the Projector On
Press [POWER]on the keypad to turn the projector on. Hold down the power key for about one
second.
Note: If the keypad has been configured for IR remote operation, point it towards the screen or the front of
the electronic chassis.
Step 5. Select the Input
Press [SOURCE] [0] [1] to select the source connected to the built-in RGB input. Or, if installed
with the optional image shift, press [SOURCE] [0] [2] to select the source connected to the Image
Shifter input.
Step 6. Adjust the Display
Press [HELP] [1] to select the Guided Source Setup tutorial.
2.2 Keypad Operating Settings
The keypad includes its own memory to store keypad operating settings. With a few simple keystrokes you can
over-ride the "hard wire" protocol setting (explained earlier) and enable or disable the backlit feature. Keypad
battery life is increased if the backlit feature is disabled. The new operating settings are stored in the keypad until
the batteries are replaced (IR remote keypad) or the keypad connection cable is unplugged (wired).
If the keypad is configured for IR remote operation, make sure the batteries are installed. If it is configured for
wired remote operation, make sure its extension cable is properly connected to the projector. Perform the
following keystroke sequences to change its operating settings:
•To toggle the keypad's protocol setting (A or B), press [] [BRITE] [TINT] [DETAIL] [ 1].
•To toggle the backlit feature (enable or disable), press [] [BRITE] [TINT] [DETAIL] [ 3].
•To return all configuration settings to the jumper settings, press [] [BRITE] [TINT] [DETAIL] [ 0].
Note: The projector will not respond to keypad commands if you press [] [BRITE] [TINT] [DETAIL] [ 2]. If
pressed accidentally, press [] [BRITE] [TINT] [DETAIL] [ 0] to clear all keystroke settings.

Figure 2-2 Remote Control Jumper Settings
JP1: This jumper setting is important if the keypad is
configured for remote operation. There are two keypad
protocols: A and B. These protocols are available to
allow two projectors in the same room to be
independently controlled by separate remote keypads.
The protocol setting of the keypad must match that set in
the projector's Keypad Options menu ([UTIL] [6] [1]).
For more information about keypad protocols, refer to
the Remote Control Options entry in Section 3.6, Utility
Features.
JP2: This jumper must always be set between pins 1
and 2 as shown; otherwise, the projector will not respond
correctly to keypad commands.
JP3: This jumper must always be set between pins 1
and 2 as shown; otherwise, the backlit feature will be
disabled and the projector will not respond correctly to
keypad commands.
JP4: The JP4 jumper setting sets the keypad type. If
you are converting the keypad to an IR remote, move
the JP4 jumper from between pins 2 and 3 to pins 1 and

Figure 2-3. Power Connection
The projector includes a built-in RGB input interface (Video Input Module) for connection of external RGB
sources. This input interface is shown in Figure 2-4 The built-in interface is required for normal operation.
The standard and optional RGB interfaces provide connection of an RGB source having one of the following sync
types: sync on green (3-wire), composite sync (4-wire), or separate H & V sync (5-wire). To connect a source,
connect the red, green, and blue outputs to the RED, GREEN, and BLUE inputs on the interface. If the source
uses sync on green, no additional cables are required. If the source provides a composite sync output, connect it
to the HOR/COMP input. If the source provides separate horizontal and vertical sync outputs, connect the
horizontal sync signal to the HOR/COMP input, and connect the vertical sync input to the VERT input.
Interconnection cables must be terminated with BNC connectors. Figure 2-4 show source connections for the
built-in interface.

2.5 Optical Alignment
Optical alignment is required when the throw distance changes or the projector cannot be focused using the focus
controls. The projector is optically aligned at the factory at a fixed screen size and a fixed projector-to-screen
distance. If the throw distance has changed since the last setup, proceed as follows:
Note: The projector must be warmed up for at least 45 minutes prior to performing optical alignment.
Note: Optical alignment is both a mechanical and electrical adjustment. Electrical adjustments are stored in
the current setup memory. After alignment is complete, setup memories which were previously set up
(if any) must be set up again. Memory setup is explained in Section 2.7.
Note: Factory alignment is performed using the internal crosshatch with a 61.8 kHz signal applied.
It is recommended that optical alignment be performed using
the projector's Guided Mechanical Setup tutorial. This tutorial
displays step-by-step instructions during the alignment. The
instructions in this section require use of the Guided
Mechanical Setup tutorial.
To access and use the Guided Mechanical Setup tutorial, turn
on the projector [POWER] then press [HELP] at presentation
level. The Help menu is displayed. Next press [ 2] to select
Guided Mechanical Setup. The first page of the guide will be
displayed on the projection screen. When using the guide,

2.7 Memory Setup
This section explains how to set up projector memories to improve the performance of the projector's ASI and
ASR features. If you are not familiar with setup memories, read 0, prior to memory setup; in particular, read
Section3.3, Setup Memories, and the ASI with Save and Turn ASR On/Off entries in Section 3.6, Utility Features.
If the projector's setup memories are properly set up, the projector will be easier to use and operate.
Note: Memory setup should be performed when the projector is in its final operating position. If the physical
position of the projector changes, memory setup must be repeated.
Here is a brief summary of the setup memory, ASR, and ASI discussions in 0
2.7.1 About Setup Memories
The projector has 80 setup memories for storing display settings of different sources. Multiple setup memories
are required since display settings usually vary amongst sources. There are two types of setup memories: Input
and Recall. Both memory types store the same parameters. The only difference is that Input memories store
display settings for a particular physical input (e.g., switcher 0, slot 1) while Recall memories can be used with
any input.
At any one time, one setup memory is the current setup memory. The display settings in the current setup
memory are used for the current display. When a source is selected by entering its input number, the Input
memory for the selected input becomes the current setup memory*. If a Recall memory is selected, it becomes
the current setup memory*. Display adjustments are automatically saved in the setup memory which is current at
the time of adjustment (unless the setup memory is locked).
Note: If the ASR feature (explained below) is turned on during setup memory selection, the selected memory
may not be the current setup memory.
To display the Recall memories stored in the projector, press [UTIL] [ 3]. Press [UTIL] [ 4] to display the Input
memories. (Unused setup memories are not displayed).

2.7.2 About ASI and ASR
ASI (Automatic Source Interpolation) is a feature which automatically adjusts display settings based on the
settings of other setup memories stored in the projector. When a setup memory is first created, ASI automatically
generates its initial display settings. These settings will be created by copying another setup memory or by
interpolating multiple setup memories.
ASI is activated when:
•A new setup memory is created.
•An ASR is performed and its logic has activated an ASI.
•An "ASI with Save" is specified by the user (see Section 3.6).
ASR (Automatic Source Recall) is a feature which, when turned on for a given input, provides automatic Recall
memory selection or ASI adjustment. ASR processing can activate when:
•a change in scan frequencies is detected at the input,
•an input is selected,
•a Recall memory is selected, or
•a channel is selected.
This feature is primarily intended for use when many different sources must share the same input (via a third party
switcher, for example) or when a signal source can output several different scan frequencies (e.g., a SVGA card).
When a source switch is made, the projector may automatically select a Recall memory with matching scan
frequencies or create the display settings based on the settings in other setup memories.
2.7.3 Input Memory Setup
Follow these steps to prepare an Input memory for a source.
Note: To assure proper setup of an existing Input memory, ASR must be off (default) for the memory.
Step 1. Connect the source to the input to be set up, and then select the input using the Source
command. For example, if the source is connected to slot 1 of the projector, press [SOURCE]
[0] [1]. If the Input memory did not previously exist, it will be created automatically.
Step 2. The source should be displayed on the projection screen. If much adjustment is required,
press [UTIL] [ 1] [ 2 ] to perform an ASI with Save. The display appearance may improve
based on the settings stored in other setup memories. (If the Input memory is new, ASI with
Save will have
Step 3. Make display adjustments as required. Adjustment changes will automatically be saved in the
2.7.4 Recall Memory Setup
Follow these steps to prepare a Recall memory.
Step 1. Select the input connected to the source. For example, if the source is connected to switcher
1, slot 5, press [SOURCE] [ 1] [ 5]. The source should be displayed on the projection screen.
Step 2. To assure proper setup of a Recall memory, ASR must be off (default) for the current input.
Step 3. Select a Recall memory as the current setup memory. For example, to make Recall memory
03 the current setup memory, press [RECALL] [ 0] [ 3]. If the Recall memory did not
previously exist, it will be created automatically.
Step 4. If much adjustment is required, press [UTIL] [ 1] [ 2] to perform an "ASI with Save". (If the
Recall memory is new, ASI with Save will have already been performed when the memory was
Step 5. Make display adjustments as required. Adjustment changes will automatically be saved in the
Recall memory.
