Important safety instructions

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.
English
1. Please read this user manual before you operate your projector. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
2. Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
- Do not place the projector on an unstable cart,
stand, or table as it may fall and be damaged;
- Do not place inflammables near the projector;
- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10
degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15 degrees front to back.
3. Do not store the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage.
4. Do not place the 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 closed;
- locations where excessive humidity, dust,
or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shorten the projector’s lifespan and darken the screen;

5. Do not block the vents holes while the projector is on (even in standby mode):
- Do not cover the projector with any item;
- Do not place the projector on a blanket,
bedding or any other soft surface.
9. Do not look straight into the projector lens during operation. It may harm your sight.
6. In areas where the mains power supply voltage may fluctuate by ±10 volts, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) as appropriate to your situation.
7. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it.
8. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector will void your warranty. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power point and call BenQ to have the projector repaired.
10. Do not operate the projector lamp beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause a lamp to break on rare occasions.
11. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

Important safety instructions
English
13. Never attempt to replace the lamp assembly until the projector has cooled down and is unplugged from the power supply.
14. When you think service or repair is required, take the projector only to a suitably qualified technician.
15. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is the lamp which has its own removable cover. See page 59.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.
Moisture condensation
Never operate the projector immediately after moving it from a cold location to a hot location. When the projector is exposed to such a change in temperature, moisture may condense on the crucial internal parts. To prevent the projector from possible damage, do not use the projector for at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change in temperature.
Avoid volatile liquids
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or certain types of cleaner, near the projector. Do not have rubber or plastic products touching the projector for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish. If cleaning with a chemically treated cloth, be sure to follow the cleaning product’s safety instructions.
Disposal
This product contains the following materials which are harmful to human bodies and environment.
• Lead, which is contained in solder.
• Mercury, which is used in the lamp.
To dispose of the product or used lamps, consult your local environment authorities for regulations.
Notice
Please keep the original packing for possible future shipment. If you need to pack your projector after use, adjust the projection lens to an appropriate position, put the lens cushion around the lens, and fit the lens cushion and projector cushion together to prevent damage during transportation.

1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, push on the finger grip on the cover and slide it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated. The cover will slide off.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two new AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the case and sliding it back up into position. Stop when it clicks into place.
Notes on handling batteries
• Do not mix old batteries with new ones, or mix different types of batteries.
• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive hot or humid environment like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom, or in a closed car.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions and local environment regulations for your region.
• If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the control from possible battery leakage.

Remote control operation

• Make sure that there is nothing positioned between the remote control and the infrared (IR) sensors on the projector that might obstruct the IR beam from the remote control reaching the projector.
• The effective range of the remote control is up to 8 meters, and at an angle within 30 degrees from the center of the IR beam. Always aim straight at the projector, however, most screens will also reflect the IR beam to the projector.

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 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.

Overview

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations.
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.
English
1. Front:
Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.
2. Front Ceiling:
Select this location with the projector suspended from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.
*Set Front Ceiling after you turn the projector on.
3. Rear:
Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
*Set Rear after you turn the projector on.
4. Rear Ceiling:
Select this location with the projector suspended from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit are required for this installation location.
*Set Rear Ceiling after you turn the projector on.
*To set the projector position:
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the System Setup: Basic menu is highlighted.
2. Press / to highlight Projector Installation and press / until the correct position is selected.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors in the projected image size. The diagrams from pages 15 to 17 offer recommendations on projection distances and screen sizes.
This projector is equipped with a movable lens. See "Shifting the projection lens" on page 18 for details. You can see the diagrams from pages 15 to 17 for the vertical offset values in the dimension tables that are measured when the lens is shifted fully up or down.
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting picture distortion" on page 30 for details.

The lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned off the center of the screen.
The lens shift is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height or width. It is measured as an offset from the projected image’s vertical or horizontal center. You can shift the projection lens in vertical directions within the allowable range depending on your desired image position. For SU922 and SW921, the maximum vertical shift is 5% from the vertical center. For SX920, the maximum vertical shift is 15% from the vertical center. For all three models, horizontal shift is not available.
To shift the lens vertically:
1. Press down lightly on the lens adjustment panel cover switch (indicated by the three dots) to click it open.
2. Lift the lens adjustment panel cover up.
3. Turn the lens shift ring to adjust the projected image position.
4. When done, press down and click close the lens adjustment panel cover.

Preparations

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
2. Use only the correct type cables for each source with proper type plugs.
3. Ensure that all cable plugs are firmly fitted to the equipment jacks.
Note that all cables shown in the following connection diagrams may not be supplied with the projector (See
"Shipping contents" on page 6 for details). Most cables are commercially available from electronics
stores.

Connecting HDMI devices

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD or Blu-ray players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience. You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI devices.

• If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and the video source device, you need not connect to this device again using a composite Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, please check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Connecting a computer

Connect the projector to a computer with a VGA cable.
Many laptops do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key
combination like Fn + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the laptop. Press Fn and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen and the MONITOR OUT jack is available on your projector, you can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output jack on the projector.
• The MONITOR OUT only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the PC jack.
• If you wish to use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, make sure the Monitor Out function is turned on in the System Setup: Advanced menu. See "Monitor Out" on page 58 for details.
