6.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Switch off all equipment before connecting together the
various items. 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.
Do not cover the ventilation grills in front and on top of the
projector housing, as this will prevent cooling. Also make
sure to place the projector on a flat, hard surface to avoid
blocking the air inlet at the bottom of the unit. A thermal
safety switch will cut off the illumination system if the
ventilation is reduced.
Do not connect any devices or cables other than those
supplied with the LCD projector into the connector ports on
the projector unit, even if the connector ports appear
identical, as this voids any warranty and may cause
permanent damage to the projector, and to the connected
source apparatus.

6.2 ARRANGEMENTS IN THE PROJECTION ROOM
Place the LCD projector on a table, or other stable hard surface, at the
distance required to give the desired size of projected image on the wall.
The image should be projected onto a flat surface screen with high
reflectivity to get a bright and undistorted image.
The best viewing results are obtained in a dimmed room with no direct
sunlight shining in. Try to ensure also that the projected image is visible to
the whole audience by placing source equipment where it will not obscure
viewing. The LCD projector is provided with extra long cables for this
purpose.
(Actual projection distances and screen sizes may vary)
14
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
6.3 SELECTING ADDITIONAL ADAPTERS AND CABLES
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computer and video
sources, utilizing many different connectors. To be able to connect to these
various sources, a set of cables and cable adapters are provided.
6.3.1 FOR YOUR COMPUTER SOURCE
The projector is supplied with one VGA type and one BNC type cable.
Optionally, adapter kits for Macintosh and 13W3 type computers are
available.
The VGA cable can be connected directly, or using a cable adapter,
depending on the type of connector used on your computer. See the table
below. One adapter is fitted at the computer end, the other adapter is fitted
at the monitor end.
The BNC cable may be used with computers with various connectors on
the computer side, but with a BNC type connector on the monitor. Use the
monitor cable, supplied with your computer, to connect to the BNC cable at
the computer end. The monitor branch connects directly to the BNC
connectors on the monitor.

computer) to connect to computer
end, then connect other branch to
monitor.
6.3.2 FOR VIDEO SOURCES
A combined composite video and stereo sound cable (the AV cable) is
supplied standard with your projector. This cable connects directly to
phono connectors on the video source. A SCART adapter is also supplied
that fits the AV cable.
15
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
S-video is connected using an optional cable. S-video can potentially
provide better video quality, as the color and luminance signals are
separate. Composite video, where the two signals are superimposed, yields
less resolution in image detail.
For RGB video, use the VGA or BNC cable. RGB should potentially yield
the best video signals, since the primary colors are completely separate.
6.3.3 FOR YOUR MOUSE
The mouse cable is connected through appropriate adapters according to
the table below.

The PROG key may be assigned to any of the relevant menu options.
Toggle functions (like OSD) are tagged when active and untagged when
not active.
Increase/decrease functions (like TUNE and FREQUENCY) are adjusted
using the trackball. 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. Most selections are memorized, unless
otherwise noted.
The main menu selections SETUP, PICTURE, SOUND, OPTIONS and
HELP 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.
7.3.1 THE SET-UP MENU SELECTIONS
TUNE is used to stabilize the image. An untuned image can be seen as
sideways instability or “swimming”. The TUNE function has no effect in
VIDEO mode.
FREQUENCY is provided in order to adjust to special graphic cards that
are not in the compatibility list. 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 trackball.
VGA text mode (720 x 400) is correctly displayed when the image is
positioned correctly.
REAR inverts the image for use in rear projection arrangements i.e.
projection from the back of a screen. This setting is not memorized. The
feature is switched on or off by selecting it from the menu.
CEILING switches between an upright and an upside-down projection by
flipping the image vertically.
FACTORY RESET. This function resumes factory settings of all
parameters.
7.3.2 THE PICTURE SELECTIONS
TINT controls the hue of an image, and is only active in NTSC-video.
SHARPNESS controls the sharpness of the lines in an image, and is only
active for video sources.
COLOR adjusts color saturation. Only applicable when video is connected.
GAMMA toggles the gamma correction on and off for video sources.
Gamma correction helps improve detail in low light situations, like indoors
scenes etc. Only active for video sources.
7.3.3 THE SOUND SELECTIONS
TREBLE controls the higher sound range.
BASS controls the lower sound range .
BALANCE controls the sound balance between the two stereo speakers.
MONO is selected if the audio source is not stereo, in order to get sound
in both speakers.
25
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
7.3.4 THE OPTIONS SELECTIONS
HIDE OSD switches the on screen echoing of controls on and off. This
setting only affects the direct control operations, not the menu system. This
setting is not memorized.
CHANNEL SEARCH is a toggle function that controls whether the projector
shall automatically switch to the next source when the current source is
switched off or removed. Manual source selection is maintained in both
modes as long as signals are present. Source priority is first COMPUTER,
then S-VIDEO and then VIDEO. If CHANNEL SEARCH is off (not tagged),
the manually selected source is maintained regardless of signal presence.
If CHANNEL SEARCH is tagged, the projector will switch to the next

8 SPECIAL FEATURES OF YOUR LCD PROJECTOR
8.1 COOLING SYSTEM
The fan operates as long as the LCD projector is switched on. Provided
that the power cord is connected, the fan continues to run until the unit has
cooled down even after the unit has been switched off. This ensures a
continuous protection against high temperature inside the projector. The
cooling system is designed to minimize stray light and noise. If the air flow
is blocked, a temperature safety fuse will automatically shut off the
projector to protect it from overheating.
8.2 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. Some sources are
predefined, while the remaining are available for customer set-up. See the
Technical Data section for compatibility.
Custom sources are added to the memory only if their sync pattern differs
from any of the previous selections. The projector automatically selects a
new memory location.
Most settings are stored individually for each mode, including contrast,
brightness, tune etc. See the remote control function table in section Using
the LCD Projector.
8.3 OSD SYSTEM
The OSD (On Screen Display) system echoes on screen your keypad or
remote control actions. The OSD may be switched off and on in the menu
system.
27
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
8.4 RESET
This feature enables standard settings of most controls. RESET will only
reset the active mode.
A factory reset may be performed in the menu system. All
settings will return to factory defaults, so do not perform a
factory reset unless it is really required. This operation will also
erase all custom sources and modes that have been
memorized.
28
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
9 CEILING MOUNTING
The projector is prepared for ceiling mounting. As opposed to desktop use
(most tables are approximately 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 catalogs. Be sure that the
vendor has tested the mount with this specific projector for operational
safety. Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
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 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. For positioning
see section 6.2.
29
USER GUIDE XGA LCD MULTIMEDIA PROJECTOR
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).
As fire precaution, the power wiring should have a separate
switch 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.
