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.

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.

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
Page 34
USER GUIDESVGA 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.
SYMPTOMSOLUTION
LCD projector
does not work
The projected
image is
completely
black
The projected
image is on the

• 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.

11 MAINTENANCE
11.1 GENERAL
From time to time, the LCD projector unit and lens may be cleaned with a
damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove dust and dirt spots. The lens should
be cleaned with a mild dish-washing detergent solution, or with standard
lens cleaning solutions available from a photographic dealer.
Vacuum the air inlet dust filter (located in the front, under the lens)
periodically, especially when build-up of dust is observed. This will ensure
cool operation of the projector.
Do not scratch the lens surface and use the lens cap for
added protection when the projector is not in use. Remember
to remove the lens-cap when the LCD projector is in use!
11.2 LAMP REPLACEMENT
The projector is using a 575W metal halide lamp for illumination. This lamp
is HIGH PRESSURE when operating. The lamp may not be changed by
the user for safety reasons and under the terms of the warranty. Always
refer to authorized dealers if the LCD projector transmits a lamp
replacement message.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector.
