projector lens during operation.

The intense light beam may damage your eyes.

3. Refer servicing to qualified

service personnel.

4. Always open the lens shutter

when the projector lamp is on.

5. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power cuts or surges of 10 volts occur. In areas

where the mains voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.

When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.

13.

Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.

Space that is poorly ventilated or

confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free flow of air 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 life span and darkening the image.

Locations near fire alarms

Locations with an ambient temperature

above 40°C / 104°F

Locations where the altitudes are higher

than 3000 m (10000 feet).

3000 m (10000 feet)

0 m (0 feet)

14.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Do not place this projector on a blanket,

bedding or any other soft surface.

Do not cover this projector with a cloth

or any other item.

Do not place inflammables near the

projector.

If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.

15.

Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.

Safety Instructions (Continued)

16.

Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.

17.

Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.

18.

Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's wall socket and call BenQ to have the projector serviced.

19. This product is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling mount installation.

Use only BenQ's Ceiling Mount Kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is securely installed.

Ceiling mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed. If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws. You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

Projection dimensions

Refer to "Dimensions" on page 72 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.

1080P SH753P

There is 5% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connecting video source devices

You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the video source device as described below:

Connecting audio

The projector has one built-in mono speaker which are designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.

The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.

• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 23 for details.

•

If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

AUDIO OUT

The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and

which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select the

PC signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN mini jack. If you select the

VIDEO signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO (L/R).

You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.

Connecting smart devices

The projector can also project the content directly from your personal device(phone, tablet, NB) through optional BenQ wireless solution such as QCast dongle or InstaShow™.

Please consult to your local agent if you're interested in it.

According to the detected signal type, and selected picture mode, some of the functions listed below may not be available. Base on your need, you can make adjustments to these functions by highlighting them and press ◄/► on the projector or remote control.

Adjusting Brightness

The higher the value, the brighter the image. And lower the setting, darker the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.

Adjusting Contrast

The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white level after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input and viewing environment.

Adjusting Color

Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.

Adjusting Tint

The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more greenish the picture becomes.

Adjusting Sharpness

The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the picture becomes.

Adjusting Brilliant Color

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality, select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.

When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

Operation

Selecting a Color Temperature

The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type selected.

1. Cooler: makes the image appear bluish white.

2. Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.

3. Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.

*About color temperatures:

There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

Setting a preferred color temperature

To set a preferred color temperature:

1. Highlight Color Temperature and select Warm, Normal or Cool by pressing

◄/► on the projector or remote control.

Press ▼ to highlight Color Temperature Fine Tuning and press MODE/ ENTER. The Color Temperature Fine Tuning page appears.

Press ▲/▼ to highlight the item you want to change and adjust the values by pressing ◄/►.

4. Press MENU/EXIT to exit and save the settings.

3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

1. Go to the Picture menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

Maintenance

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is to keep the lens clean.

Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts need replacing.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.

• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 48 and unplug the power cord.

• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Lamp mode Description

Lamp information

Getting to know the lamp hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:

Lamp Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in Economic mode) + (hours used in SmartEco mode)

Equivalent lamp hour = 1.8*(hours used in Normal mode) + 1.3*(hours used in Economic mode) + 1.00*(hours used in SmartEco mode)

See "Setting Lamp mode as Economic or SmartEco" below for more information on Economic

mode.

To obtain the lamp hour information:

Press MENU/EXIT and then press ◄/► until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.

Press ▼ to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.

3. You will see the Lamp Timer information displaying on the menu.

4. To leave the menu, press

You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.

Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

Setting Lamp mode as Economic or SmartEco

Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. Using SmartEco mode reduces system noise and lamp power consumption by up to 70%. If the Economic or SmartEco mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in

darker projected pictures.

Setting the projector in Economic or SmartEco mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Lamp Settings > Lamp mode menu and press ◄/► until your desired mode is selected.

Page 61

Maintenance

Replacing the lamp

• If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the

ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power

cord before changing the lamp.

• To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before

replacing the lamp.

• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution

when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.

• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the

lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.

• This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of

this lamp in a proper manner.

• To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase a

BenQ projector lamp for lamp replacement.

• Ensure good ventilation when handling broken lamps. We recommend that you use

respirators, safety glasses, goggles or face shield and wear protective clothing such as gloves.

1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the wall socket. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.

2. Loosen the captive screws from the left and rear side.

3. Remove the lamp compartment cover as shown.

4. Disconnect the lamp connector from the projector as illustrated.

Page 62

Maintenance

5. Loosen the two captive screws that secure the lamp.
