INFORMATION TO THE USER

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the user’s
guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.

C

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.

COMPATIBILITY

The projector is compatible with many different types of personal computers and video devices, including;

• IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1024 x 768 resolution with a vertical frequency up to 75Hz.

• Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024 x 768 resolution.

• Various VCRs, video disc players, video cameras, satellite TV tuners or other AV equipment using any of the worldwide
video standards, including NTSC, NTSC4.43, PAL and SECAM.

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. To strengthen the
portability, the LENS RETRACT function is designed to protect the lens from being damaged during transportation. With
this function, the lens is pulled in when not in use.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Your projector uses nominal input voltages of 100-120 VAC or

input voltage. The projector is designed to work with
single-phase power systems having a grounded neutral
conductor. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not plug into
any other type of power system.
Consult your authorized dealer or service station if you are not
sure what type of power is supplied to your building.

OTHER FUNCTION SETTING

This projector has other function settings; auto retract, reverse scan T/B, reverse scan L/R, biue back, dispiay and PC

adjustment.

AUTO RETRACT

When this function is in the ”ON” position, the projector retracts the lens when the projector is turned off using the

POWER (LAMP) ON/OFF button. To protect the lens from being damaged while you are carrying the projector, you
are strongly recommended to set this function ”ON”. Since the lens is puiled in each time the POWER is switched off,
you need to make ZOOM and FOCUS adjustments when you turn on the projector.

When this function is in the ’’BOTTOM” position, the
top/bottom picture invert capability lets you project from a
ceiling-mounted projector.

REVERSE SCAN L/R

When this function is in the ’’RIGHT” position, the

left/right picture reverse capability lets you project onto a

rear projection screen.

PC ADJUSTMENT

This projector can automatically detect most display signals in most personal computers currently distributed.

However, some computers employ a special signal format which is different from the standard ones and may not be
detected by this projector. If this happens, the projector cannot reproduce a proper image, often recognized as a
flickering picture, a non-synchronized picture, a non-centered picture or a skewed picture.

To project a proper image for those non-standard formats, this projector provides PC ADJUSTMENT, in which you
can precisely adjust several parameters to match the input signal format. The projector has eight independent

memory areas that you can store the parameter settings you have made. Therefore, you can recall the setting for a
specific computer when you need it.

This adjustment is available only with the REMOTE CONTROL UNIT.

:)

1. Press the MENU BUTTON and the MAIN MENU DISPLAY dialog box
will appear.

2. Move the arrow by pressing the POINT BUTTON(UP/DOWN) to select
the SETTING. Press the REAR CLICK BUTTON. Another dialog box,

select the PC ADJUSTMENT. Press the REAR CLICK BUTTON.
Another dialog box ’’WHERE TO RESERVE”, will appear.

4. In this dialog box, you will select one of the memory areas shown as

”MODE1” to ’’MODES”. If the parameters have been previously set and
stored to the memory, the status ’’STORED” will appear on a
corresponding row. If not, ’’FREE” will appear.

5. Move the arrow to one of the ’’MODEs” that you want to modify or store
