Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees

off axis.

• Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions

to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or
other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling

vents.

• Use only approved ceiling mounts.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is

recommended.

• Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items

placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed­eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see

www.eiae.org

.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over
the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty section at
the end of this user's guide.

Do not place objects or people in the 2 foot (.6m) area along the side of the projector.
For ceiling mount applications, this area should be 5 feet (1.5m).

The projector provides computer and video connectors:

• one M1-D/A (HD, DVI, and computer)

• one VESA (HD, HD component, and computer)

• one S-video

• one composite RCA video

• one audio in/one audio out

It also has an RS-232 serial connector for serial control. The Command Line
Interface (CLI) specifications and commands are on our website.

TM

The projector also has a LitePort
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group, .jpg, .jpe, or .jpeg) images. This
allows you to display any JPEG image automatically, without a computer
connected. Use your own JPEGs from your digital camera, or convert your



files, such as Microsoft

PowerPointTM, WordTM, or ExcelTM files, into
JPEGs using LitePort Utility (included on the CD), which allows you to eas­ily generate the highest quality JPEG images possible. Then transfer the
JPEG images from your computer to the projector using a USB mass storage
device and your images are ready to be displayed. (Please refer to the Ser­vice and Support section of our website for advanced specifications on the
USB device and JPEG files.) You can use the remote control to select which
JPEGs to view (page 27) or you can set up the LitePort player using the Lite­Port onscreen menu to select display preferences and automatically display
and advance your JPEGs (page 36).

Connecting a computer

Required computer connections

Connect the black end of the computer cable to the Computer 1 connector
on the projector. Connect the blue end to the video port on your computer. If
you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor
cable from the computer’s video port.
Some Macintosh computers do not have a standard VESA-out video port.
If the supplied computer cable will not connect to your computer, purchase
the appropriate adapter from your Apple reseller.

Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector
and to your electrical outlet.

The Power LED on the projector’s keypad turns solid green.

NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation using the remote, plug the
USB connector on the computer cable into the USB mouse connector on
your computer. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For
more information, see page 11.

To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your com­puter and to the Audio In connector on the projector.

connect computer cable

connect audio cable

7

If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your
computer screen as well as on the projection screen, plug the monitor cable
to the black Computer 2 connector on the projector. This connector can be
used as monitor out or VESA in. The default is VESA in, so you must
change this option in the menu to use monitor out. See page 34 to switch
between the two functions.

If you prefer connecting your projector to your computer with an optional
VESA cable, connect one end of the cable to the VESA port on your com­puter, and connect the other end of the cable to the blue Computer 2 con­nector on the projector.

This connector can be used as monitor out or VESA in. The default is VESA
in.

You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial Control connector. Spe-
cific RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of
our website.

You can play JPEGs using the LitePort USB connector and LitePort player.
You need a USB mass storage device to use this connector. See page 27 for
details.

Displaying a computer image

Remove the lens cap.

remove lens cap

Press the Power button on the top of the projector or the remote.

The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on,
the startup screen is displayed and the LED is steady green. It can take a
minute for the image to achieve full brightness. The Interactive Display on
the projector indicates the startup status.

? No startup screen? Get help on page 17.

Turn on your computer.

The computer’s image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t,
press the Source button on the projector’s keypad.

Make sure your laptop’s external video port is active.

Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a
projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F8 or CRT/LCD
key turns the external display on and off. Locate a function key labeled
CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the
labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documenta-

tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.

? No computer image? Try pressing the Auto Image

button on the keypad. Get help on page 17.

First-time projector use with Windows 98

If you are running Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Window XP, skip these
steps and go to “Adjusting the image” on page 12.

The first time you connect a computer running Windows 98 to the projector,
the computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add
New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow these instructions to use the Wiz­ard to load the correct driver (which was installed with your Windows
operating system).

a Click Next to begin searching for the driver.

b Make sure “Search for the best driver” is selected, then click Next.

c Uncheck any checked boxes, then click Next. Windows automatically

locates the driver. If this driver has been removed, reload the driver using
your Windows operating system CD.

Skip this page if you did not connect the USB portion of the M1 com­puter cable

For Windows 98:

• If you connected the USB cable, the Add New Hardware Wizard

appears again. Drivers must be installed to use the USB functionality.

• The Wizard launches two times.

The first time it detects a USB Human Interface Device (for the key­board).

The second time it detects a USB Human Interface Device (for the
mouse).

For Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP:

• The USB drivers are automatically installed.

Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector
and to your electrical outlet.

NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.

Optional video connections

If the video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an
S-video cable (sold separately) into the S-video connector on the video
device and into the S-Video 1 connector on the projector. Use the audio con­nectors as described directly above.

To connect a progressive scan EDTV or HD source, use the Component to
