Getting the Most Out of Your Projector
The projector has a full set of features that allow you to control the settings for video,
audio, power management, display parameters, and much more.
To derive the greatest utility from your projector, read this section for a quick summary
of the important features.
Remote Controller
The buttons on the remote controller allow direct and immediate control of the most
commonly used features including source selection, display modes, PIP, keystone
adjustment, volume control, video freeze-frame, zoom, video blanking, audio muting
and power control. Remote controller buttons can also be used for advanced functions
and to access the projector’s menu system. The remote controller can even be used
as a remote mouse for your computer, and also includes a laser pointer.
Auto Off Mode
The auto off mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp if the
projector does not receive input signal for a specified period (30 minutes). In the
auto off mode, the lamp is turned off, conserving electricity, cooling the projector and
extending the life of the lamp. Use the Power button on either the remote controller
or the projector control panel to turn the projector on again if it has powered off.
Sleep Mode
The sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp if the
projector’s lamp is on continuously for specified period (1 to 3 hours). In the sleep
mode, the lamp is turned off, conserving electricity, cooling the projector and extending
the life of the lamp. Use the Power button to turn the projector on and off.
Control Panel
The control panel buttons on the top of projector offer access to advanced functions,
such as adjusting the brightness and contrast for computer images.

Setup
This section tells you how to unpack and set up your projector and connect it to other
equipment. The projector must be connected to a computer or a video source such
as a video tape deck, camcorder, digital camera or laser disk player in order to make
a projection.
You may want to connect the projector to both your computer and a video source, or
set up the projector for one or more of the following:
Connect the mouse cable to use the remote control as a wireless mouse.
Provide audio for one or both image sources. The audio source can be the
computer, video source, or another device such as a stereo.
Unpacking the Projector
When you unpack the projector, make sure you have all these components:
Projector
Projector carrying case
Remote Controller (IR)
2 AAA batteries for the Controller
Power cord
Computer cable
S Video cable
A/V composite cable (RCA type for composite video & audio)
Lens cap
User’s manual
(The following cables are optional accessories)
Audio cable
HDTV to D-SUB (When using HDTV as input signal)
Mouse cable (for PS/2)
Mouse cable (for USB)
DVI cable
Component Video cable
Many of the above optional items may not be required for your particular installation.
Retain packaging materials in case you need to move or ship the projector in the
future. It should always be transported in its original protective packaging.

Setting Up the Projector
1.Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface within five feet of the computer or
video source.
Caution:
Do not hold the projector by the lens. This can damage the lens.
2.Place the projector the correct distance from the screen. The distance between
the projector and the screen determines the actual image size. Use the general
guidelines below to determine the correct distance.
Distance between the
screen and the center of the lens
Projection Size (Diagonal) 40” 50” 70” 100” 150” 200” 300”
Projection Distance[mm] 1640 2060 2900 4160 6260 8350 12550
Lens at WIDE position
Projection Distance[mm] 2150 2690 3780 5420 8140 10870 16350
Lens at TELE position
3.When replacing batteries on the Remote Controller, take the following precautions:
Do not recharge used batteries or expose batteries to fire or water.
Replace batteries as soon as they run down. If the batteries leak, wipe away the
fluid with a soft cloth. If battery fluid gets on your hands, wash them immediately.
Remove the batteries if you will not be using the remote controller for a long
period of time.

Connecting to a Computer
The projector will always project at XGA (1024 x 768) resolution for XGA projector.
However, you can connect the projector to a computer source capable of displaying
VGA (640 x 480), SVGA (800 x 600), XGA(1024 x768) or SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolutions.
The projector will resize VGA, SVGA, and SXGA inputs for XGA projection. The types of
computers supported by this projector include:
IBM compatible laptop, notebook or desktop PCs (PC compatibles)
Macintosh desktop computers (including Quadra®, Centris®, and Power Mac (with
separate Sync: RGB HV), and Apple PowerBooks with video-out capability,
including all 160, 165, 180 and 500 series PowerBooks (separate Sync: RGB HV)
Connecting to a Video Source
You can connect the projector to almost any common video source - VHS player,
DVD player, camcorder, laser disc player or any other compatible video image source.
The projector can accept composite, component, or S-Video signals. Composite
video is characterized by a single-pin “RCA-type” video jack, usually colored yellow.
Component video (YCbCr) is less common and features three “RCA-type” video
jacks, typically colored red, green, and blue. S-Video is readily identified by a single
connector with four small pins.
You can connect the projector simultaneously to composite, component, and S-
Video sources. You can select which video source to project using the control panel
or remote controller. If the Auto Search feature is ON (see later sections of this
manual), the projector will automatically detect and select a source. The projector
supports both NTSC and PAL video formats. The projector will automatically detect
and identify the video format. Note, however, whereas the projector can accept
multiple simultaneous sources it can only accept one video format at a time.
Note: The projector is not compatible with a cable TV-style coaxial “F” connector.
