TO THE OWNER

As the owner of a Desktop Projector 5600, you are probably eager to try out your new projector. Before you do, we suggest that you spend a little time reading this guide to familiarize yourself with the operating procedures, so that you will receive maximum satisfaction from the many features included on your new projector. This user’s guide will acquaint you with your projector’s features. Reading it will help us too. Through the years, we have found that many service requests were not caused by problems with our projectors. They were caused

by problems that could have been prevented, if the owner had followed the instructions in the guide. You can often correct operating problems yourself. If your projector fails to work properly, see "TROUBLESHOOTING” section on pages 42 ~ 43 and try the solutions marked for each problem.

INTRODUCTION

The desktop projector 5600 is a multimedia projector designed for portability, durability, and ease of use. The desktop projector 5600 utilizes built-in multimedia features, a palette of 16.8 million colors, and active matrix liquid crystal display

(LCD) technology.

IMAGE RESOLUTION

The resolution of the projector’s projected image is 832 x 624. The projector displays computer images just as they appear on your computer’s monitor. Screen resolutions between 832 x 624 and 1024 x 768 are compressed to 800 x

600. The projector cannot display screen resolutions above 1024 x 768. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher

than 1024 X 768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector.

PORTABILITY

The projector is extremely compact in size and weight. Having a sophisticated shape like an attaché case with a retractable carrying handle, the projector will help you make powerful presentations wherever you go.
