5 SETTING UP THE LCD PROJECTOR
Switch off all equipment before connecting the components. Be aware of
static electricity that may build up, especially in the dry season and when
operating on synthetic carpets. Discharge any static electricity by touching
a metallic surface before you start.
Check for correct mains voltage before powering the projector
(see label close to mains input connector).
Do not cover the air inlet in front or the air outlet on top of the
projector housing as this will block the cooling. A thermal safety
switch will cut off the illumination system if the ventilation is
reduced.
Place the LCD projector on a table at a suitable distance from the
projection screen in order to get the desired size of the projected image on
the wall. Adjust the projection lens for a sharp image by turning the
focusing wheel on the lens barrel. Project on a flat surface screen with high
reflectivity to get a bright and undistorted, rectangular image.Best results
are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct sunlight shining in.
Switch off all equipment before you connect the LCD projector to
the computer, mouse and video source as outlined in the
following chapters. Then apply power first to the LCD projector,
then to the computer and video source for correct operation.

USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
6 USING THE LCD PROJECTOR
The LCD projector has a set of connectors and controls that you need to
know in order to operate the device correctly.
6.1 OPTICS
The projection lens is mounted in the front of the projector. The optical
system is designed with a 12 degree keystone correction so that the
projected image is shifted upwards on the wall. This in effect enables the
placement of the projector on a flat table, still getting a rectangularly
projected image on the wall.
Avoid scratching and bumping the lens, as this will reduce the
quality of the projected image. Always re-cap the lens when not
in use!
6.2 ILLUMINATION SYSTEM
The LCD projector uses a 400W halogen lamp for illumination. An
additional lamp (spare lamp) is included in case the main lamp goes out.
The two lamps are mounted in a motorized lamp changer. If one lamp
fails, the other lamp can be shifted in place for continuous operation by
pressing the LAMP CHANGER button on the control panel.
Always replace a defective lamp with a new one after the
projector has cooled down, since the internal lamp house is hot
when in use.
13
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
6.3 REMOTE CONTROL
The infrared BatMouse remote control (RC) is the main user interface to
the device. The RC is used to set the LCD projector correctly (to get the
best possible viewing conditions) and to control the presentation.
The figure shows the different keys of the BatMouse.
Set-up should be done once with the application(s) you are running most
frequently. Allow some minutes for the equipment to warm up before
adjusting. Most settings will automatically be memorized individually for
each source for future use.

7 FEATURES
The LCD projector has a variety of different features implemented. This
chapter explains each feature in detail.
7.1.1 INTELLIGENT SAFECOOL SYSTEM
The fan operates as long as the LCD projector is switched on. This
ensures a continuous protection against high temperature inside the
projector. The cooling system is designed to minimize stray light and
noise.
7.1.2 MOTORIZED LAMP CHANGER
The projector is equipped with two 400W halogen lamps. If one lamp fails
during a presentation, the spare lamp can be shifted in position and
switched on. Press the LAMP CHANGER button on the control panel to
change lamp. This ensures continuous operation during a presentation.
A LED on the control panel lights when the spare lamp is in use, indicating
that the defective lamp should be replaced.
Always replace the defective lamp as soon as the projector has
cooled down after use
To avoid burns, do not open the rear door to replace a defective
lamp until the unit has cooled down after operation. The interior
of the projector is heated during use.
7.1.3 SET-UP MEMORY
The user controlled set-up, that usually is done when the projector is
connected to a new computer, is automatically memorized for future use.
The set-up information is stored in a non-volatile memory approximately 5
seconds after the last key is pressed.
The memory can store 40 different sources/modes. Several sources are
predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up of
sources. See the Technical Data section for compatibility.
Custom sources are stored only if their sync pattern differs from any of the
previous selections. The projector automatically selects a new memory
location.
18
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
Most settings are stored individually for each mode, including contrast,
brightness, tune etc. See the remote control table in the Remote Control
section.
19
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
7.1.4 SVGA
SVGA in 800x600 mode is compressed both horizontally and vertically to
640x480 resolution. This feature is convenient when displaying irregular
images (like pictures, scanned images and coarse graphics).
Regular images (patterns, text and fine line graphics) may look distorted
due to the downsizing. In this case, we recommend setting up the
computer in 640x480 mode for a precise image.
7.1.5 VGA TEXT
VGA text is compressed correctly from 720x400 to 640x400 mode when
the image is positioned correctly. The characters maintain their shape, as
every ninth pixel is dropped horizontally between each character. Selecting
MCGA in the menu will deactivate the text compression. This is useful for
320x200x256 MCGA images.
7.1.6 BUILT IN SPEAKERS
Stereo speakers are built into the LCD projector that provide ample sound
for small and medium sized rooms. External speakers may be used for
better freedom in positioning of the speakers. An external amplifier may
also be connected to the speaker outputs for added boost to the external
speakers.
7.1.7 MULTISTANDARD TV SYSTEMS
The LCD projector incorporates a unique multistandard video decoder that
works with all major TV systems. NTSC, PAL and SECAM are
automatically detected. See the Technical Data section for TV system
compatibility. (The PAL M and N systems are not supported).
7.1.8 PAL/SECAM ASPECT RATIO
The NTSC system maps directly to a 640 x 480 resolution display. The
PAL and SECAM systems need aspect ratio conversion to fit correctly. The
LCD projector automatically adapts to NTSC, PAL and SECAM formats
and adjusts the aspect ratio accordingly.
7.1.9 ON SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD)
The OSD is an information system that in plain text echoes your RC and
MENU selections on screen in real time. The OSD information is displayed
in the lower left corner of the screen. The OSD feature may be set visible
or hidden through the menu system.
See also the Menu System section.
20
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
7.1.10 MOUSE
The remote control (RC) employs a unique mouse functionality that
enables full mouse control of your PC, PS/2 or Macintosh computer. By
default, the cursor keys of the remote control emulate the mouse.
The LEFT and RIGHT keys emulate the left and right keys on a standard
two-key mouse. For Macintosh computers, the right key is not used.
The DRAG key is used to emulate the click-and-hold action. To move an
object, position the mouse cursor, press DRAG to tag the object, position
the object as desired using the cursor keys, then press DRAG again to
release the object. DRAG is automatically released 5 seconds after the last
key is pressed. The DRAG key is used to activate the pull-down menues
on the Macintosh.
7.1.11 POINTER
The pointer is a red spot applied to the projected image, and can be moved
freely around using the cursor keys. Activating POINTER will deactivate
the MOUSE function (as the same cursor keys are used). The POINTER is
a toggle function.
The pointer may be used with any application, including live video, for
focusing attention.
The pointer may not be used when the MENU is active. The pointer must
also be switched off when controlling the mouse.
7.1.12 MASK
The MASK is a black (opaque) overlay on the image displayed. The MASK
may be positioned vertically using the cursor keys. The MASK key is a
toggle function. Other cursor controlled features like POINTER and
MOUSE does not work when MASK is active.
7.1.13 ENLARGE
The ENLARGE function doubles the image vertically. Pressing the
ENLARGE button repeatedly will display the enlarged upper part, enlarged
lower part and then go back to normal (not enlarged). ENLARGE is not
active when displaying S-VIDEO, VIDEO or SVGA. Pressing RESET will
bring ENLARGE back to normal.
21
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
7.1.14 FREEZE
Press the FREEZE button on the RC to lock the image displayed. This
feature is useful if you want to make changes locally on your computer that
should not be presented to the audience. It is also useful for freezing live
video images when showing video. Press FREEZE once more to resume
on-line operation. Any other key pressed will also release FREEZE.
7.1.15 BLACK
Use the BLACK key on the RC, if you temporarily want to suspend the
display of images. The BLACK key is a toggle function, and the screen
goes black when activated. Blanking the image is done using the ON/OFF
key. Any key pressed will release BLACK.
7.1.16 PROG
This key may be programmed to one of the menu functions of your choice.
In the menu, select option and then press PROG. This option is now
memorized, and available (when not in the menu) directly from the PROG
key on the remote control, until a new programming is performed.
7.1.17 CONTRAST
The contrast of an image is defined as the relation between dark and light
colors. An image of high contrast is often regarded as 'hard', as compared
to the 'soft' feeling of a low contrast image. Low contrast is recommended
for long term viewing, while high contrast is used to enhance details. Use
the CONTR keys on the remote control (RC) to adjust the contrast. Also
see Brightness. The contrast setting is stored individually for each mode.
7.1.18 BRIGHTNESS
The brightness is the amount of white in an image. The brightness is
adjusted to the ambient lighting conditions. Usually, a bright, low contrast
image is preferred. Use the BRIGHT keys to adjust brightness. See also
Contrast. The brightness setting is stored individually for each source.
7.1.19 VOLUME
The sound volume is controlled using the VOLUME up and down keys.
7.1.20 MUTE
The sound is switched on and off using the MUTE key. Pressing VOLUME
up or down will also release MUTE.
7.1.21 COMPUTER
The computer image is displayed when pressing the COMPUTER key.
This is the power on default setting.

7.1.22 S-VIDEO
The S-VIDEO source is selected with this key.
7.1.23 VIDEO
The composite video source is selected with this key.
7.1.24 MIC
The MIC key toggles the microphone input on and off. When on, the MIC is
overlaid the AUDIO input (unless sound is muted).
7.1.25 MENU
The menu system is invoked using the MENU key. The menu system gives
access to basic setup functions that are rarely used. See the separate
Menu System chapter for details.
7.1.26 ON/OFF
The switch is located next to the mains input. There is also an ON/OFF key
on the RC. This key is used to blank the screen.
7.1.27 RESET
This feature enables standard settings of most controls (see the 'MEM'
column in the remote control description, where YES also indicates a
standard setting). RESET will only reset the active mode.
A fundamental master reset may be performed by pressing all
four RESET, BRIGHTNESS and TUNE buttons simultaneously
for approx. 5 seconds, wait until the image reappears, then
switch off the power. Repower the unit again. All settings will
then return to factory defaults. Do not perform a master reset
unless it is really required. This operation will also erase all
custom sources and modes that have been memorized.
23
USER GUIDE LCD PROJECTOR
8 MENU SYSTEM
The menu system was developed to gain access to functions not often
used, as opposed to frequently used features that are directly available
through the RC.
Press the MENU key on the RC to invoke the menu system. When the
menu is active, the cursor keys are used to navigate between options (and
can therefore not be used for mouse control etc. at the same time). The
LEFT key is used to activate an option.
The PROG key may be assigned to any of the menu options.
Toggle functions (like OSD ON/OFF) are tagged when active and untagged
when not active.
Increase/decrease functions (like TUNE and FREQUENCY) are adjusted
using the cursor keys. OSD is used to indicate the actual setting.
The MENU key is toggling the menu on and off. The menu is also switched
off after one minute of no action. The last position in the menu is
maintained during a session, but it is reset during power off. Most
selections are memorized, unless otherwise noted.
The main menu selections SETUP, SOUND and PICTURE are explained
in detail below.
Features only available with some sources are shown in light italic
characters in the menu illustrations, while generally available functions are
shown in bold characters.

The lamps are replaced by opening the rear door of the housing.
Always replace the defective lamp as soon as the projector has
cooled down after use. Make sure to use the correct lamp, see
Technical Data section.
To avoid burns, do not open the rear door to replace a defective
lamp until the unit has cooled down after operation. The interior
of the projector is heated during use.
When the housing has cooled down, open the rear door. The defective
lamp is positioned vertically either to the right or to the the left. See figure.
Remove the old lamp and replace with a new one.
Never touch the glass bulb of a new lamp. This will shorten the
lifetime of the lamp. Keep the plastic bag on the lamp until fully
inserted, then remove it.

Do not attempt to open the unit, as this will void any warranty
and possibly cause injury.
Release the fuse holder and replace the broken fuse with a new one. Make
sure to use a fuse of correct rating, see Technical Data section. There is
room for a spare fuse in the holder.
