INTENDED USE

Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The 3Mt Multimedia Projector MP8660 was designed, built and tested for use indoors, using 3Mt brand lamps and nominal local voltages. The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation or different voltages has not been tested and could damage the projector or peripheral equipment and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read and understand all instructions before using. Pay particular attention to areas where this symbol

4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged — until it has been examined by a qualified service technician.
!
6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled or contact hot surfaces.
7. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in use. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.
10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
11. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
12. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.
!
13. This unit is equipped with optical lenses and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
14. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.
15. Always remove the lens cap when the projection lamp is on.
16. The projection lamp contains mercury. Always dispose of it in a proper manner according to local regulations.

Caution
ENGLISH
The power cord (Figure 3-3) is detachable from the projector and has different connection plugs on each end. Plug the female end into the power cord terminal on the projector and the male end into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
To prevent damage to equipment, all power to the MP8660 and input sources must be turned OFF during cable hook up.

Computer (RGB) Input Connection
There are two input jacks available for connecting either desktop or laptop computers. Find the cable that fits your computer type. The VGA cable (Figure 3-4) fits IBMt PC and compatible VGA video systems, and the MAC Adaptor (Figure 3-5) fits on the end of the VGA cable and adapts it to fit AppletMacintosh computers and Applet Powerbook laptop computers.

S-Video Connection
Some video devices can generate S-VHS video, or S-Video (Y/C). The MP8660 will accept this signal through the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2 connectors. The S-VHS cable has identical round four-pin connectors on either end (Figure 3-8). Connect one end to the S-Video jack on the input source device, and the other end to the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2 terminal on the MP8660. Remember to connect the audio cables for sound output. S-video input signals have priority over RCA jack input.

Video/Audio Connection
Find the small, circular connector on your camcorder, laserdisc player, VCR, or other video source marked VIDEO OUT, TO MONITOR, or something similar.
Use the 3-conductor video/audio cable and insert the video (yellow) connector into the video output jack of your video source device. Connect the other end into the MP8660 VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 connector.
Next, find the AUDIO OUT terminals on your VCR or other audio source. Insert the left and right audio cable connectors (Figure 3-9) to the input source. Connect the other end to the AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R terminals on the MP8660.
If you are giving a multimedia presentation with stereo sound, you may want to consider connecting the MP8660 audio-out L/R jacks to a high-quality stereo system. When external speakers are connected, the internal speakers are disabled.

3-2. Projector Set Up

Ambient Light
Whenever you have a choice, light the room from the rear, away from the projection screen. The MP8660 has a brightness adjustment to achieve the best image possible.
Distance to Viewing Screen
The MP8660 can be used in a small or large meeting room to project a quality image from 51 cm (20 inches) to 762 cm (300 inches) in size. The distance between the projector and the viewing screen and the zoom lense setting (minimum to maximum) will determine the size of the projected image. Refer to the Technical Appendix to determine how far away from the viewing screen you need to place the projector to fill the screen with the projected image.
Remember that increasing the projector-to-screen distance also decreases the image’s brightness dramatically. In other words, as the image grows larger, it also grows dimmer.
For best results, experiment to find the right combination of projector-to-screen distance and room lighting.
Carrying Handle
The MP8660 has a carrying handle that folds into the top of the projector housing. To raise the handle, push up on the back end of the handle (Figure 3-14) and then lift upward.
ENGLISH
Figure 3-14. Unfolding Handle
Ceiling Mount Considerations
An optional ceiling mount bracket (Figure 3-15) is required to install the MP8660 from the ceiling. For this type of installation, the image must be vertically and horizontally inverted.
See section 9-1 to order the ceiling mount kit.
