6 MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
The projector may be connected to different equipment. The following
sections describe in detail how to connect to these systems.
See the illustration on the rear of the quick set-up card on how the various
system parts connect together.
Be aware of static electricity that may build up in the dry season and when
operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching
a metallic surface before you start.
Place the projector on a table at a suitable distance to the projection
screen. Select a screen with good reflectivity and avoid direct sunlight
shining in. Place the projector so that the image is visible to the whole
audience, and so that the unit does not obstruct the view. The projector is
supplied with long cables for high flexibility in placement.
Various cables are supplied or optionally available to connect to different
sources. Follow the list below in numerical order for a trouble-free set-up!
1. SWITCH OFF all equipment before making all the connections.
2. COMPUTER GRAPHICS ADAPTER
Computer graphics adapters use different connectors depending on the
actual computer system in use. Connection to the projector is made
either through a basic GA cable and appropriate adapters, or a BNC
cable.
• PC. Use the GA cable directly to connect the graphics port of
the PC to the COMPUTER connector on the projector. If
needed, connect your monitor cable to the free branch on the
GA cable.
• MAC. Use the MAC adapters, as marked, on the computer
end of the GA cable to adapt to the graphics-port connector
and monitor connector on the MAC.
• NEC. Use the optional NEC adapters, as marked, on the
computer end of the GA cable to adapt to the graphics-port
connector and monitor connector on the NEC.
12
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
3. WORKSTATIONS. If you are using BNC connection to your monitor,
use the BNC cable. Disconnect your GA cable at the monitor end, and
connect it to the short branch of the BNC cable. The long branch
connects to your monitor. A 13W3 adapter is also available if needed.
4. MOUSE
To enable mouse control from the remote control, a connection is
made using a mouse cable and various adapters. Connect the cable
directly to one of the MOUSE connectors on the projector. When no
RS232-control is used, there is one mouse port associated with each
RGB-connector. If RS232-control is used, the mouse must be
connected to MOUSE 1 and RS232 to MOUSE 2. The mouse will then
follow the selected source. Connect the appropriate adapter to the free
end of the mouse cable at the computer end as described below.
• SERIAL (RS 232). Use the serial adapter with a branch for the
local computer mouse. The serial adapter is fitted with a 9 pin
DSUB connector. Use an extra 9 to 25 pin adapter (available
from your dealer) if your computer has a 25 pin serial connector.
Connect your computer mouse to the free branch of the adapter
if desired. With some computers, the branched adapter may not
work. For this purpose, an optional straight serial adapter is
available. To control your projector from a remote console,
connect an optional RS232 adapter to the MOUSE 2 input, and
connect it to the console using a standard RS232 cable.
• PS/2. Use the PS/2 adapter that connects directly to your
computer mouse port. Running the computer mouse in
parallel is not possible, unless your computer itself has
provision for two mice simultaneously. You may consider
using the above serial adapter and run your mouse on the
serial port instead, in order to be able to run your local mouse
in parallel. This will require a different mouse driver setting.
Please consult your computer documentation or local dealer
for details.
• MAC. Use the MAC mouse adapter to connect to the mouse
port on your MAC computer.
5. MAINS POWER
Connect the mains cord to the projector and all other equipment in the
set-up.
13
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
6. SWITCH ON the projector first, then the computer. It is important to
switch the projector on first in order for correct detection of the
projector as a display and mouse peripheral device to the computer.

2 Adjustable feet
7 IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS
This section will aid in adjusting a stable, flicker-free image for best
viewing results.
Use the remote control or the projector keypad to adjust settings, either
directly or through the menu system.
The following list aids in a trouble free set-up of the projector. Try using a
patterned background (tiles, checkerboard pattern etc.) when adjusting the
image.
Focus
2 Adjustable feet
1. FOCUS AND POSITION IMAGE. The projection lens has a manually
adjustable focus. Place the projector at a suitable distance to the
projection screen to obtain the desired screen size. (See the Technical
Data section for max. and min projection distances.) Focus the image
and observe that the picture elements (pixels) become sharp on screen.
The projector has two adjustable feet in the front, so that the image can
be shifted to a desired height on the wall. Tilt the projector body in the
desired position and press the foot-release buttons. If necessary, fine
adjust the height by adjusting the feet either direction. Use the rear
adjustable feet to correct a tilted image.
2. RESET in most cases automatically adjusts the image position, width
(FREQUENCY) and stability (TUNE). If RESET fails to adjust the
image correctly, see FREQUENCY, POSITION and TUNE below.
RESET is automatically activated when a new source is connected.
15
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
3. SCALE the image as desired if you are viewing a lower (VGA) or
higher (UXGA) resolution image. Scaling will fill the viewable area by
enlarging a lower resolution or compressing a higher resolution image.
If you do not scale a higher resolution image, you may choose to PAN
around instead in order to view parts of the image.
4. CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS may be adjusted according to your
personal taste, the image and the viewing conditions. The controls are
directly accessible on the remote control and on the projector keyboard.
5. FREQUENCY. The frequency controls the width of the image. A wrong
frequency setting can be seen as equally spaced, vertical stripes or
irregularities in the pattern displayed. Press the MENU key, SET-UP,
FREQUENCY and press ENTER. Adjust the value up or down using
the trackball or keyboard cursor controls, observing that the amount of
vertical stripes reduces, until the distortion is gone. You may still have
an unstable image, please see the next section.
6. POSITION the image correctly by accessing SET-UP, POSITION, then
press ENTER and adjust position with the trackball or keyboard cursor
controls
7. TUNE the image for a stable projection. In the menu, select SET-UP,
TUNE and press ENTER. Adjust stability using the trackball.

Be sure that the vendor has tested the mount with this specific
projector for operational safety.
Check that the mounting brackets fit the six integral M4 screw mounts (see
illustration below) of the projector, and that the ventilation slots are not
blocked. Avoid using screws that penetrates more than 13 mm into the
screw mounts (min. length 10 mm).

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 at least 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.
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).
For potential fire reasons, the power wiring should be
separately switched so that the projector can be switched off
completely when not in use. The ON/OFF on the remote
control only suspends operation of the projector without
switching off completely.

USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
10 YOUR PROJECTOR IN DETAIL
The projector is designed from the ground up to be a compact, durable,
bright and versatile device that is suitable for use in various indoors
projection applications.
International mandatory regulations are employed, including the rigorous
European CE and American UL and FCC standards that cover safety and
radio interference issues.
Product packaging is produced in environmentally friendly materials that
are recyclable and that do not emit any toxic fumes if combusted. The
‘RESY’ and ‘Grüne Punkt’ marks are referenced (with ID numbers),
indicating that the proper fees are already paid for controlled return of
packaging material.
The projector powers down according to the latest standards to minimize
power consumption when the source connected becomes inactive (by lack
of activity or when the source is switched off). Operation is automatically
resumed when the source again becomes active, though some delay is
incurred when restarting the projection lamp.
To allow for flexible operation and installation, the unit may be operated
from the tabletop, ceiling mounted or in a rear-projection arrangement.
Safe thermal operation is secured through a temperature controlled, well
dimensioned cooling system that is minimizing fan noise and stray light.
Compatibility is wide, including most popular computer sources from VGA
(640x480 expanded) to UXGA (1600x1200 compressed) resolution.
A wide mains voltage operating range is employed, and connection is
through the internationally recognized IEC connector. The menu system is
multi-lingual.
The following chapters detail various features of your projector that may be
of interest.
28
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
10.1 AUTOMATIC SETUP
The projector always seeks to adjust the projected image automatically.
The user may also at any time invoke the autoadjust function by pressing
RESET. When auto is operating, the image will be shifted to different
positions on screen for about 5 seconds before it is stabilized.
10.2 TRACKBALL REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control enables both set-up of the projector and control both of
the projector and the computer mouse pointer during operation.
The mouse functionality duplicates the local computer mouse without the
need for any special software drivers.
10.3 MENU SYSTEM
The menu system is designed so that it may be invoked and overlaid at
any time with any image projected. When invoked, the menu system will
not interrupt the display of the underlying image. The hierarchical design,
with a main menu and sub-menus, provides a logical approach to access
the various functions. The localization in the upper left corner and the
moderate size of the menus does not block much of the view of the image
displayed. Several languages are selectable to suit international users from
east and west.
10.4 OSD SYSTEM
The OSD (On Screen Display) is used to echo user controls for positive
feedback. The OSD is active both within the menu and with direct controls.
The OSD should not be confused with the menu system, the latter being
used to gain access to controls, while the OSD merely indicates the actual
operation. The OSD may be selected or deselected in the menu.
10.5 SET-UP MEMORY
The various user selections and settings that are made with the remote
control, the projector keypad and the menu system, are automatically
memorized for future reference. Most settings are related to the actual
source in use, so when switching between sources, or between modes
within sources, the individual settings are recalled accordingly.
The memory can store up to 40 different sources and mode
characteristics. Some sources are predefined, while the remaining are
available for customer set-up. See the compatibility list in the Technical
Data section.
29
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
New sources are added to the memory only if the sync pattern differs
significantly from a previous selection. If a new source is detected as an
old one (close or identical sync patterns), and the settings are changed,
the new settings will override the old ones.
See the Remote Control and Menu sections for details of which functions
that are memorized.
10.6 COOLING SYSTEM
The heat generated in the projection lamp and in the electronics circuitry
needs to be effectively vented out of the projector. Cooling fans are
employed to force the convection of air through the system. Air is let out
close to the projection lamp (as this is the hottest area).
The projector is designed to operate at a wide temperature range and
works well when ceiling mounted, even at high ambients. See the technical
Data section for temperature specification.
The cooling system is temperature controlled, so that when operated on
the desktop at normal temperature, the noise level is minimized due to a
relaxed fan speed. When operating in the ceiling under high temperature
ambients, the fan runs at a higher speed to maintain cooling while the
noise level increases.
30
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
11 APPLICATIONS
The projector is perfectly suited for a variety of different applications
including CAD/CAM, work groups, teaching, training, home theatres,
control rooms, product promotion, shows, simulators and more.
11.1 SIMULATORS
Simulators are used in various applications for training and entertainment.
Professional use includes car driving, air plane and ship vessel control
training, as well as other expensive and often dangerous situations that
require well trained personnel. Entertainment use is basically in various
theme parks etc.
11.2 CAD/CAM ILLUSTRATIONS
In many technical environments engineers use CAD/CAM software to
produce their illustrations on workstations. This high resolution projector
enables them to show their work in great detail on a large screen. The
people involved will be able to discuss layout and details in groups and
make on screen alterations while doing so. The projector may be placed on
a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for
rear projection.
11.3 WORK GROUPS
A work group typically involves a group of people actively involved in
discussions round the table. The projector usually is connected to a
networked computer. As the meeting evolves, various documents are
continuously updated and corrected. Information is downloaded from the
Internet or the company Intranet for up-to-date processing in the group. By
the end of the session, the documents are wrapped up and minutes are
distributed to the various recipients over the e-mail system. The projector
may be placed on a table or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted
or arranged for rear projection.
11.4 TEACHING
Educational institutions would use the projector both for traditional
computer based teaching for the class, as well as interactive use over the
Internet. By using the projector, the attention of the students is focused on
a single large projection screen, supplementing the ordinary, individual
computer monitors when needed. The projector may be placed on a table
or permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear
projection.
31
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
11.5 TRAINING
The projector is ideally suited for company training in various areas such
as products, software, organisational and staff continued education. It is
practical for this purpose to have a dedicated training room with good
facilities for each individual in order to secure the attention of each person
during the training session. The projector may be placed on a table or
permanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear
projection.
11.6 CONTROL ROOMS
Large screen projection of critical information enables a quicker and more
consistent reaction to any change that needs immediate attention. This
includes both manufacturing process control, as well as operational control
in private, public and military situations. Several projectors may be
cascaded or grouped to simultaneously project over a larger area or to
project different screens simultaneously, using a dedicated screen splitter
(available from third party suppliers). These applications are typically fixed
and the projectors are usually either ceiling mounted for front projection or
arranged in a rear-projection set-up.
11.7 PRODUCT PROMOTION
The projector is ideally suited to attract attention in order to promote sales
of all kinds of products in shops and malls. The promotion material may be
either computer generated based. Several projectors may be employed
simultaneously to increase attention further. The projector is usually semipermanently installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear
projection.
11.8 TRADE SHOWS
Many companies attend various trade shows throughout the year. In these
situations, the key issue is to attract the attention of a large, continuously
moving public. One or more units projecting your company message will
help steering the crowd to your business. The projector might be either
placed on the table top, ceiling mounted or used for rear projection. Since
control over lighting conditions is difficult at trade shows, arranging two
projectors on top of each other projecting, the same image on the same
screen will help by increasing the brightness.
11.9 TRANSPORTATION
For all purposes the projector may be placed on a table or permanently
installed, either ceiling mounted or arranged for rear projection. The built-in
handle makes it easy to move to another location for different use.

13 MAINTENANCE
The projector needs very little maintenance in order to function properly.
13.1 GENERAL
Use a damp cloth to wipe off dust on the exterior. Clean the lens with a
damp, non-abrasive cloth, using just water or a standard lens cleaning
solution available from photographic dealers.
Vacuum the air inlets periodically, especially when build-up of dust is
observed. This will ensure cool operation of the unit.
Do not scratch the lens surface. Use the lens cap when the projector is not
in use for added protection. Remember to remove the lens cap before
operating the unit!

13.2 LAMP REPLACEMENT
The projector is using a metal halide lamp for illumination. The lamp is
high pressure when hot (operating or immediately after switch-off). Lamp
pressure is normal when cold.
A lamp timer is available in the menu system under HELP, ABOUT, that
may be used to track lamp operating time. The timer may be reset by the
user.
A warning will appear when the estimated lamp lifetime has
been exceeded. Please make sure to replace the lamp when
this message is displayed.
To change lamp, unscrew the two screws holding the lamp lid. A safety
switch will cut off the power supply to the lamp completely when you
remove the lid. Unscrew the two screws holding the rear wall, including the
reflector, of the lamp house.
