scanned or the microSD card is not mounted.
Settings
These settings let you change how you view the video image coming from a video
source. The projector displays a WSVGA image (or 1024x600 pixels) which is a
17:10 image.
Signal Aspect Ratio
Change the aspect ratio (width versus height) of the image. When you choose one
of the aspect ratios, the image is stretched or shrunk to that aspect ratio.
tDefault – Aspect Ratio setting for the input resolution
t4:3 – Scales the image to a 4:3 aspect ratio
t16:9 – Scales the image to a 16:9 aspect ratio
tNative – Aspect Ratio scales the image to the projector native Aspect ratio,
17:10
Letterbox Cropping
Crops or cuts the image down to the specified aspect ratio.
This is similar to over scanning. Some older videos have noise along the edges of
the image. You use edge cropping to hide that noise.
Display Scaling
Scales the image to fit width, height, or both. Display scaling even displays the
native resolutions.
Making Connections
The 3M MP220 projector will display informational icons depending on the input
device and signal being detected. If no devices or input cables are connected to the
projector, the Home screen will display. The 3M MP220 was designed to operate
with 3M VGA and AV cables only.
Tip: The video output on some devices is turned off by default. Please refer to
the device’s documentation for details on enabling the video output.
Connecting to a Composite Video Device (requires optional
accessory)
For standard (composite) video input, you must purchase the optional 3M MP220
Composite AV Cable. Use the composite AV cable to input video from camcorders,
digital cameras, DVD players and digital media players into the VGA-AV input on the
projector.
1Connect the AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.
2Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video
Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video connections
and may require an AV cable specified by the manufacturer. The AV cable
allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your projector
and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once you have
the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device cable and the
projector cable.
Connecting to a Component Video Device (requires optional
accessory)
For component video input, you must purchase the optional 3M MP220 Component
AV Cable. This cable sends a higher quality video signal for the best possible image.
1Connect the component AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.
2Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video
Important Note: There are two red connectors on the Component AV cable.
One is for the right audio channel and the other is for the Pr component video
signal. Be careful to connect the red audio to red audio and red video to red
video. If these connectors are switched, the projected image will appear green
and an abnormal noise will come from the right speaker.
Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video connections
and may require an AV cable specified by the manufacturer. The AV cable
allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your projector
and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once you have
the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device cable and the
projector cable.
Some video devices, by default, will not output a video signal. The video
device’s manual should provide instructions on how to change the video
output setting.
Connecting to a Computer (requires optional accessory)
For VGA-audio input, you must purchase the optional 3M MP220 VGA-audio Cable.
Use the VGA-audio cable to connect the projector to home screen computers,
laptop computers, ultra-portable computers and some personal digital assistants
(PDAs). The projector supports VGA, SVGA, XGA, and WXGA resolutions. For best
results, set the computer’s resolution to WXGA (1024x600).
1Connect the VGA-audio cable to the 3M MP220 projector.

name.
tAlbum art. The album art work must be in the same folder as the music and
be labeled “albumart.jpg”.

labeled “Music” or “My Music”. For information about transferring files to the
projector, see Transferring Files to the Projector.
