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.

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.
Set-up should be done once with the source(s) you are using most frequently. Allow some minutes for the unit to warm up before adjusting the settings. Most settings will be memorized individually for each source for future use.

Press the MENU key to invoke or exit from the menu system. When the menu is active, the trackball is used to navigate between options (and therefore is not available for mouse control etc. at the same time). The ENTER key is used to activate or deactivate a function.
The PROG key may be assigned to any of the menu functions.
Toggle functions (like OSD, REAR etc.) are tagged when active and untagged when not active.
Increase/decrease functions (like TUNE and FREQUENCY etc.) are adjusted using the trackball or keyboard cursor controls. The OSD field (in the lower left corner of the screen) indicates the actual settings.
The menu system is toggled on and off with the MENU key. The MENU is also switched off after one minute of inactivity. Most settings are memorized unless otherwise noted.
The main menu selections SETUP, SOUND, OPTIONS and HELP are explained in detail below.
Features available with some sources only are shown in grey color characters in the menu, while generally available functions are in normal case.
22
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
8.3.1 THE SET-UP MENU SELECTIONS
TUNE is used to stabilize the image. An untuned image can be seen as
sideways instability or “swimming”.
FREQUENCY is provided to adjust image width. Generally, an incorrect frequency setting can be observed as an image too wide or too narrow, combined with vertical, unstable bands.
POSITION. Due to minor variations in graphic cards, the horizontal and vertical position may need adjustment. Select POSITION, then press LEFT and use the cursor keys or trackball.
REAR inverts the image for use in rear projection arrangements i.e. projection from the rear of a screen.
CEILING switches between an upright and an upside-down projection by flipping the image vertically.

9 CEILING MOUNTING
The projector is prepared for ceiling mounting. As opposed to desktop use (most tables are approx. 80 cm tall, are flat and have a hard surface finish), ceilings vary in height and material. Also considerations must be made with respect to signal and power wiring.
9.1 SELECTING A MOUNT
Various mounting systems are available from different sources. Contact your dealer for further details or consult vendor catalogues.
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).

USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
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.

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.

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.

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.

12 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
This is a checklist to help you pinpoint any problem that may arise. Check the symptoms carefully if you experience any problem. The cure may be at your fingertips!
Always check that the ON/OFF indicator on the projector flashes when a key on the remote control is pressed. This indicates that the projector is receiving signals from the remote control.
SYMPTOM SOLUTION
The projector does not work
The projected image is completely black
The projected image is too dark or too light.
Some colors are unstable or flickering
Check if the mains cable is attached properly.
Check that the Power switch is ON.
Toggle the ON/OFF button on the remote control.
Check that the Power switch at the mains inlet is
ON.
The unit may have overheated due to the
ventilation slots being covered while the projector was in use. Also ensure that the ambient temperature is within spec. Check the air inlet filter, as it may need vacuuming (see Maintenance). Wait until the unit has completely cooled down before using again.
Adjust the CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS
settings.
Press RESET, which will remove the pre-
determined settings for the current source, and make the set-up adjustments again.
Check first that there are no loose cable
connections.
You can try to adjust the image quality with the
CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS keys.
Try to improve the tuning by accessing TUNE in
the menu system.
33
USER GUIDE SXGA LCD PROJECTOR
SYMPTOM SOLUTION
The whole image appears to be unstable or misplaced
If the image is scaled, press SCALE to return to
the default mode.
Adjust the frequency and tuning settings
(instability), or the image position settings (misalignment).
Check that you are using a source with
compatible resolution.
The projector may be connected to a source with
a non-standard computer (or video card). Adjust
the frequency and position of the image. Cooling fan is not working
Check that the Power ON/OFF switch is ON.
If the fan does not work the projector must not
be used and should be returned to your dealer
for repair. The remote control is not working
Make sure you point the remote control at the
projection screen or directly at the IR receiver
The maximum range of the IR transmitters is
15m (50 feet) - Are you standing close enough?
If the effective range of the transmitters is
significantly reduced, the remote control needs
new batteries. The desktop mouse is not working
Remember that the mouse must be connected
before the computer source is switched on.
Are the mouse cable and mouse adapter
connections secure?
Check the mouse driver settings on the computer
You must boot the computer after the cable has
been connected for it to recognise the mouse. If
you are unsure whether this was the case, reboot
your computer.
