around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively
high, such as the inside of a car with all windows rolled
up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette
smoke may contaminate optical components,
shortening the projector’s lifespan and darkening the
screen.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature above 35°C /
95°F
9. Always place the unit on a level, horizontal
surface during operation.

8 Safety, Regulatory and Legal Information
Overview
Features
Q High Picture Quality
This single DMD DLP™ projector provides excellent picture quality, a high contrast ratio and very good
color uniformity.
Q Dynamic Performance and Rich Gray-scale
With a 6-segment color wheel, the projector can attain refresh rates of up to 300 Hz which provides dynamic
performance and rich gray-scale without the 'color flicker' or 'rainbow effect' associated with other singleDMD DLP™ projectors.
Q Sealed Optical Engine with a High-Quality Lens Design
The optical engine uses a high-quality lens for maximizing optical performance. The sealed optical engine
prevents light leakage and any dust from entering the engine, which could cause annoying 'spots' in the
projected image.
Q Wide Variety of Inputs
The projector can support a wide variety of video formats including Composite, S-Video, Component
(YP
bPr / YCbCr) and DVI-I (digital and analogue RGB). The two component inputs are used to connect the
projector to HDTV receivers and DVD players. They use RCA connectors to minimize signal degradation
that may be caused by installations that have longer cables.
Q HDTV Ready
The projector is compatible with 480i, 480P, 576i, 576p, 1080i and 720P formats.
Q Video Memory
This projector allows users to store up to three different configurations in its video memories to optimize the
image for different types of signal.
Q Multilingual OSD (On-Screen Display) menus
