6 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR
6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Switch off all equipment before connecting together the various items. Be aware of static electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching a metallic surface before you start.
Do not cover the ventilation grills in front and on top of the projector housing, as this will prevent cooling. Also make sure to place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid blocking the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal safety switch will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is reduced.
Do not connect any devices or cables other than those supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected source apparatus.

6.2 ARRANGEMENTS IN THE PROJECTION ROOM
Place the LCD projector on a table, or other stable hard surface, at the distance required to give the desired size of projected image on the wall.
(Actual projection distances and screen sizes may vary)
The image should be projected onto a flat surface screen with high reflectivity to get a bright and undistorted image.
The best viewing results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct sunlight shining in. Try to ensure also that the projected image is visible to the whole audience by placing source equipment where it will not obscure viewing. The LCD projector is provided with extra long cables for this purpose.

7.3 THE MENU SYSTEM
The menu system was developed to gain access to functions not often used, as opposed to frequently used features that are directly available through the remote control.
Press the MENU key on the remote control to invoke the menu system. When the menu is active, the trackball is used to navigate between options (and can therefore not be used for mouse control etc. at the same time). The LEFT key is used to activate or deactivate an option.
The PROG key may be assigned to most of the menu options. Toggle functions (like OSD) are tagged when active and untagged when
not active. Increase/decrease functions (like TUNE and FREQUENCY) are adjusted
using the trackball. OSD is used to indicate the actual setting. The MENU key is toggling the menu on and off. The menu is also switched
off after one minute of no action. The main menu selections SETUP, PICTURE, SOUND, OPTIONS and
HELP are explained in detail below. Features only available with some sources are shown in bold dark grey
characters in the menu illustrations, while generally available functions are shown in black bold characters.
7.3.1 THE SET-UP MENU SELECTIONS TUNE is used to stabilize the image. An untuned image can be seen as
sideways instability or “swimming”. The TUNE function has no effect in VIDEO mode and has been disabled.
FREQUENCY is provided in order to adjust to special graphic cards that are not automatically recognised by the projector. Generally, an incorrect frequency setting can be observed as an image too wide or too narrow, combined with vertical, unstable bands.
29
Page 29
USER GUIDE SVGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
POSITION. Due to variations in graphic cards, the horizontal and vertical position may need adjustment. Select POSITION, then press LEFT and use trackball. A general information box is shown in the lower left corner. VGA text mode (720 x 400) is correctly displayed when the image is positioned correctly. (VGA text mode can also be viewed full screen when SCALE is selected.
REAR inverts the image for use in rear projection arrangements i.e. projection from the back of a screen. The feature is switched on or off by selecting it from the menu.
CEILING switches between an upright and an upside-down projection by flipping the image vertically.
FACTORY RESET. This function resumes factory settings of all parameters. You will be promted if you want to erase all settings.
7.3.2 THE PICTURE SELECTIONS
These selections are only applicable for video sources.
TINT controls the hue of an image, and is only active in NTSC-video. SHARPNESS controls the sharpness of the lines in an image, and is only
active for video sources.
COLOR adjusts color saturation. Only applicable when video is connected. GAMMA toggles the gamma correction on and off for video sources.
Gamma correction helps improve detail in low light situations, like indoors scenes etc. Only active for video sources.
7.3.3 THE SOUND SELECTIONS
TREBLE controls the higher sound range. BASS controls the lower sound range . BALANCE controls the sound balance between the two stereo speakers. MONO is selected if the audio source is not stereo, in order to get sound
in both speakers. If mono is not selected, there will be sound in the left speaker only.
30
Page 30
USER GUIDE SVGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
7.3.4 THE OPTIONS SELECTIONS
HIDE OSD switches the on screen echoing of controls on and off. This
setting only affects the direct control operations, not the menu system. This setting is not memorized.
CHANNEL SEARCH is a toggle function that controls whether the projector shall automatically switch to the next source when the current source is switched off or removed. Manual source selection is maintained in both modes as long as signals are present. Source priority is first COMPUTER, then S-VIDEO and then VIDEO.

8 SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR LCD PROJECTOR
8.1 COOLING SYSTEM
The fan operates as long as the LCD projector is switched on. Provided that the power cord is connected, the fan continues to run until the unit has cooled down even after the unit has been switched off. This ensures a continuous protection against high temperature inside the projector. The cooling system is designed to minimize stray light and noise. If the air flow is blocked, a temperature safety fuse will automatically shut off the projector to protect it from overheating.
8.2 SET-UP MEMORY
The user controlled set-up, that usually is done when the projector is connected to a new computer, is automatically memorized for future use. The set-up information is stored in a non-volatile memory approximately 5 seconds after the last key is pressed.
The memory can store 40 different sources/modes. Some sources are predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up. See the Technical Data section for compatibility.
Custom sources are added to the memory only if their sync pattern differs from any of the previous selections. The projector automatically selects a new memory location.
Most settings are stored individually for each mode, including contrast, brightness, tune, frequency, position and scaling. See the remote control function table in section Using the LCD Projector.
8.3 OSD SYSTEM
The OSD (On Screen Display) system echoes on screen your keypad or remote control actions. The OSD may be switched off and on in the menu system.
32

USER GUIDE SVGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
8.4 RESET
This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only reset the active mode.
A factory reset may be performed in the menu system. All settings will return to factory defaults, so do not perform a factory reset unless it is really required. This operation will also erase all custom sources and modes that have been memorized. You will be promted before this is done to avoid unwanted resets.

9 CEILING MOUNTING
The projector is prepared for ceiling mounting. As opposed to desktop use (most tables are approximately 80 cm tall, are flat and have a hard surface finish), ceilings vary in height and material. Also considerations must be made with respect to signal and power wiring.
9.1 SELECTING A MOUNT
Various mounting systems are available from different sources. Contact your dealer for further details or consult vendor catalogs. Be sure that the vendor has tested the mount with this specific projector for operational safety. Check that the mounting brackets fit the integral screw mounts of the projector, and that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
9.2 MOUNTING IN THE CEILING
An improperly mounted projector is a potential danger to people and equipment. A projector and mount falling down may cause personal injury and material damage. Such damage caused by bad workmanship in mounting and operation may lead to legal action and should be avoided.
Avoid ceiling mounting of the projector in areas of frequent or probable earth quakes.
When fixing the mount in the ceiling, be sure to check the ceiling material and if it will hold the total weight of the mount and the projector. Look for wood, steel beams or concrete that will secure a good and lasting fixture. Avoid plaster or other fragile materials that do not have sufficient structural properties. Follow the detailed instructions supplied with the ceiling mount for proper mounting and operation.
After having mounted the projector in the ceiling, test if the holding force is sufficient by adding a load to the mount double the weight of the combined projector and mount. The mount should hold this extra weight with no sign of fatigue and with no sign of mounting screws loosening. For positioning see section 6.2: Arrangements in the Projection Room.
34

USER GUIDE SVGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
9.3 WIRING
Ceiling mounted projectors require long signal and power wires. The signals should be wired using high quality coaxial cable. The cables
usually need to be customized. Some vendors have specialized in this field. Contact your dealer for further detail.
If the signal cables run over a longer distance from the source to the projector, a line buffer (distribution amplifier) may be needed (available from third party vendors).
To facilitate on/off control of the complete unit, including the projection lamp, the mains wiring must be switchable by the user. The projector can not be switched off by the wireless remote control.
When installing the unit in the ceiling, a separate, external mains switch must therefore be applied as indicated in the figure.

10 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
This is a checklist to help you pinpoint any problem that may arise. Check the symptoms carefully if you experience any problem. The cure may be at your fingertips!
Always check that the OSD appears when the OSD key on the remote control is pressed. This indicates that the LCD projector is receiving signals from the remote control.
SYMPTOM SOLUTION
LCD projector does not work
The projected image is completely black
The projected image is on the logo or blue for neutral version The projected image is too dark or too bright.
Check if the mains cable is attached properly.
Check that the Power switch at mains inlet is ON.
Is the LCD projector fuse, located in the fuse
holder, blown? (See Maintenance for the replacement procedure.)
Check that the voltage selector is correctly set.
If you are using the projector from a power strip -
check that this has been switched on.
The ON/OFF setting may be OFF. Press ON/OFF again to resume operation.
Check that the Power switch at mains inlet is ON.
The unit may have overheated due to the
ventilation slats being covered while the projector was in use. Also ensure that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range. Check the air inlet filter, as it may need vacuuming (see Maintenance). Wait until the unit has completely cooled down before using again.
Try to switch to another source to see if it gives an image.
No source is connected. Connect to the source you want to use.
Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS settings.
Press RESET, which will remove the pre­determined settings for the current source, and make the set-up adjustments again.
Check the FREQ setting.

SYMPTOM SOLUTION
Some colors are unstable or flickering
The whole image appears to be unstable or misplaced
Cooling fan is not working
The remote control is not working
The desktop mouse is not working
Check first that there are no loose cable connections.
You can try to adjust the image quality with the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS keys.
Try to improve the tuning using the TUNE key.
If the image is scaled, press SCALE to return to
the default mode.
Adjust the frequency and tuning settings (instability), or the image position settings (misalignment).
Check that you are using a source with compatible resolution.
If the fan does not work the LCD projector must not be used and should be returned to your
dealer for repair.
Make sure you point the remote control at the projection screen or directly at the IR receiver
The maximum range of the IR transmitters is 15 m/ 49 feet - Are you standing close enough?
If the effective range of the transmitters is significantly reduced, the remote control needs new batteries.
Remember that the mouse must be connected before the computer source is switched on.
Are the mouse cable and mouse adapter connections secure?
Check the mouse driver settings on the computer source
You must boot the computer after the cable has been connected for it to recognise the mouse. If you are unsure whether this was the case, reboot your computer.
