Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The

projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the projection screen.

• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and

within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.

• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation

guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 35. We recommends using an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see the Accessories catalog that came with this projector or visit our website for more information.

• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance

from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. For information about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on page 43.

• For the standard lens that comes with the projector, the image exits at a

given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset variable. The image offset is 100% at a 10:0 ratio when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10’ high, all 10’ will appear above the center of the lens.

• The image offset is 50% when the lens shift is at a 1:1 ratio. This means

that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 5’ below the center of the lens.

• For information about the optional lenses image offsets, see “Projected

image size” on page 43.

Keystone Vertical : adjusts the image vertically and makes a squarer image by using an adjustable scale band.

Keystone Horizontal: adjusts the image horizontally and makes a squarer image by using an adjustable scale band.

Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the image.

Brightness: changes the intensity of the image.

Color: (video sources only) adjusts a video image from black and white to

fully saturated color.

Tint: adjusts the red-green color balance in the image.

Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height.

TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are

1.78:1, or 16:9. The default is 4:3, which displays the input resized up or

down to fill the display area.

Sharpness: (video sources only on C440 and C450) changes the clarity of the

edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting.

Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video sources. It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the input signal. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709 or REC601 for component video sources.

Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed value, or select User and individually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue colors.

Video Standard: when set to Auto, the projector attempts to automatically pick the video standard based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image may appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.

Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image.

The following 4 options are for computer sources only.

Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source.

Maintenance

NOTE: When you are performing maintenance activities on your projector,

keep in mind that you should only remove screws that are single-slot, or flathead, screws. Any other type of screw, such as a phillips or star should not be removed. These types of screws should only be removed by technical support experts.

Cleaning the lens

1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you

don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Changing the lens

Long throw and short throw lenses are available with your projector.

1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.

2 Turn the projector upright with the lens facing upward and use a screw-

driver to remove the two screws from the front bezel release holes on the bottom of the projector.

WARNIN GS:

• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp.

• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury. Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness.

• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp housing is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp housing. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. 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.

5 Carefully remove the lamp module by grasping and lifting the metal

bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.

6 Install the new lamp module, making sure that it is properly seated, and

tighten the three captive screws.

7 Replace the cover over the lamp module by inserting the tabs into the

tab bays and pushing the rest of the cover down into place.

8 Plug in the power cable, press the power switch then press the Powe r

button to turn the projector back on. Reset the lamp hour timer.

A read command returns the range and the current setting, for example:

Read Command Examples

Function Command Response

Brightness (BRT?) (96-160,128)

Volume (VOL?) (0-32, 0)

Lamp Hours (LMP?) (0-65534, 42)

A write request example:

(AAA####) where

(starts the command

AAA denotes the command

#### denotes the value to be written

(leading zeros not necessary)

) ends the command

Command Format

All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all enclosed in parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a "?") or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).

A read request example:

(AAA?) where

( starts the command

AAA denotes the command

? denotes the read request

) ends the command

Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a "?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0" is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.

To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

Write Command Examples

Function Command Response

Brightness (BRT140) Sets the brightness to 140

Power (PWRO) Turns power off

Power (PWR1) Turns power on

Error Conditions

Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is issued, the command will be ignored. If a command is received that is not understood, a ‘?’ character will be returned indicating the command was not understood.

Limitations

The projector cannot respond to commands coming in at a high-rate. Therefore, a delay must occur between commands to ensure that the command gets properly executed. To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

Limited Warranty

Subject to the Limitations, Exclusions and Disclaimers hereof, InFocus Corporation

(“InFocus”) warrants that the Projector, Lamps and Accessories (hereinafter collec-

tively or individually referred to as “Product” as appropriate) purchased from InFo-

cus, an InFocus distributor, or an InFocus reseller will conform to InFocus’

specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship for the respective

Limited Warranty period provided below. This warranty statement applies only to

the specific InFocus product purchased. InFocus products are compatible with many

systems, however the specific functional implementation by the customers of the

product may vary. The suitability of a product for a specific purpose or application

must be determined by the customer and is not warranted by InFocus Corporation.

If the Product, while subject to this Limited Warranty, is defective in material or

workmanship during the warranty period, then InFocus, at its option, will REPAIR or

REPLACE the Product.

All exchanged parts and Products replaced under this Limited Warranty will become

property of InFocus. InFocus' sole obligation is to supply (or pay for) all labor neces-

sary to repair the Product found to be defective within the Limited Warranty period

and to repair or replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus,

serviceable used parts that are equivalent or superior to new parts performance. Lim-

ited Warranty periods are as follows:

• Projector Product Limited Warranty Period (Excluding Lamps)

(2) years from date of proof of purchase.

• Lamp Product Limited Warranty Periods

shall have a ninety (90) day Limited Warranty Period from date of Projector

proof of purchase, and replacement Lamps will have a ninety (90) day lim-

ited warranty from date of lamp proof of purchase, and replacement lamps

purchased at the time of Projector Product purchase will have a ninety (90)

day limited warranty from date of first use.

• Accessory Product Limited Warranty Period:

of purchase.

WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION

THIS WARRANTY SETS FORTH INFOCUS’ MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ITS

PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS ONLY TO PRODUCTS PURCHASED

FROM INFOCUS OR AN INFOCUS AUTHORIZED RESELLER. InFocus shall have

: The original installed lamp

ninety (90) days from date

: Two

no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been

damaged due to abuse, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, mispackaging,

shipping, lightning or other acts of nature, misuse, neglect, smoke exposure (cigarette

or otherwise), accident, unusual physical or electrical stress and/or power surges,

unauthorized modifications (including use of an unauthorized mount), tampering,

alterations, service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, or failure caused

other than from ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application

for which said Product was intended. In addition, failure of the end-user to follow

maintenance procedures as outlined in the product’s user guide where a schedule is

specified for regular cleaning of certain parts (based on usage and environment), will

not be covered under this Warranty. Finally, InFocus shall have no further obligation

if the Product was subjected to operating conditions outside of the range specified in

the user’s guide or in this Warranty. Normal operating conditions are defined as use

not in excess of 16 hours continuously per day with a minimum 8 hour period of con-

tinuous rest in the powered off state. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or repro-

duced in service, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred. This Limited

Warranty excludes Product cleaning, removal or installation of the Product, repair, or

replacement of plastics due to cosmetic damage and damage as a result of normal

wear. Product repair outside of the terms of the Limited Warranty will be on a time

and materials basis. InFocus will not be liable for any rental costs incurred in the

event of a failure. The Warranty does not apply to cartons, carrying cases, shipping

cases, external cabinets, accessories used in connection with the product, or cosmetic

parts, knobs, or batteries. The Warranty period for LCD engines is either 2 years from

the date of purchase of the projector or 2500 hours of projector usage, whichever

comes first. If the LCD engine requires replacement and the projector has exceeded

2500 hours, but is otherwise eligible for Warranty, this Warranty will cover the cost of

labor, but not the cost of parts that require replacement.

The Accessory Product Limited Warranty covers the accessory item only and

excludes normal wear. The Lamp Product Limited Warranty excludes expected lamp

degradation and InFocus will not be liable for normal decrease in lamp output over

time or as lamp is consumed under the Limited Warranty.

Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the foregoing

Limited Warranty. Please refer to the appropriate Remanufactured Product Limited

Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty for applicable Warranty informa-

tion.

CUS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG

the end-user customer. These Limited Warranty provisions shall apply only to the

end-user purchaser (first person or entity that purchased a new Product for personal

or business use and not for the purpose of distribution or resale). SOME JURISDIC-

TIONS MAY GRANT YOU CONSUMER RIGHTS WITH MINIMUM WARRANTY

DURATION THAT DIFFER FROM THE DURATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN, AND

INFOCUS WILL HONOR ALL SUCH CONSUMER RIGHTS UPON PROOF OF

PURCHASE IN THAT JURISDICTION.

To Be Eligible For Limited Warranty Coverage

isfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product was purchased

new. The sales receipt or invoice, showing the date of purchase of the Product is the

proof of the date of purchase.

uct and will pay all freight, duty, taxes, VAT, fees, incidental clearance and customs

request of InFocus Corporation or an authorized repair center for InFocus, proof of

legal import must accompany the warranty repair Product, otherwise the Product

must be returned to the place of original purchase, to the manufacturer (Purchaser

must bear all tax, duty and freight), or the Purchaser must bear charges for the war-

ranty repair.

ranty period as to the entire Product. Warranty on the repair part and workmanship

shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days following the repair or replace-

ment of that part or the remaining period of the Product Limited Warranty whichever

is greater. InFocus’ or its authorized service center’s policies shall apply and the Con-

sumer will be charged accordingly for product returned to an InFocus Authorized

Service Center after the expiration of the warranty period.
