5. Do not block the ventilation 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.

12. This projector is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling mount installation. Use only BenQ’s Ceiling Mounting Kit for mounting.

English

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 liquid

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or some 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.

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.

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:

1. Floor in front of screen;

2. Ceiling in front of screen;

3. Floor at rear of screen; or

4. Ceiling at rear of screen. 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.

1. Floor 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. Ceiling Front: Select this location with the projector suspended from the ceiling in front of the screen.

Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.

*Set Ceiling Front after you turn the projector on.

3. Floor rear: Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen.

Note that a special rear projection screen is required.

*Set Floor Rear after you turn the projector on.

4. Ceiling Rear: 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 Mounting Kit are required for this installation location.

*Set Ceiling Rear after you turn the projector on.

English

*To set the projector position:

1. Press MENU on the projector or remote control and then press / until the System Setup menu is highlighted.

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 projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down.

This projector is equipped with a movable lens. See "Shifting the projection lens vertically" below for details. You can see the diagrams on pages 14 and 15 for the vertical offset values in the dimension tables that are measured when the lens is shifted fully up or down.

If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.

When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection distance.

BenQ has provided separate tables of dimensions for both 16:9 and 4:3 screen ratios to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

Shifting the projection lens vertically

The vertical lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned slightly above or below the top level of the projected images.

The lens shift (offset) is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height. It is measured as an offset from the projected image's vertical center. The projector is equipped with + 120% and - 80% vertical lens shift. You can shift the projection lens upwards or downwards within the allowable range depending on your desired image position.

To adjust the vertical position of the projection lens:

1. Press LENS or / (when the OSD menu is not activated) on the

remote control, or LENS SHIFT / on the projector to display the adjustment page. (Pressing ENTER in the Picture -- Advanced > Lens Shift menu performs the same function.)

2. To raise the projected image, press on the remote control or Lens

Shift on the projector. To lower the projected image, press on the remote control or Lens Shift on the projector.

How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size

1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?

2. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled "Screen

Dimensions". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance

from screen value in the column labelled "Average". This is the projection distance.

3. Decide the exact height of your projector according to the position of your screen and the adjustable

vertical lens shift range. For example, if you are using an 120-inch, 4:3-aspect-ratio screen, please refer to "4:3 (standard) ratio screen

dimension table". The average projection distance is 495 cm.

How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance

This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.

The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.

1. Determine the aspect ratio of your screen, 16:9 or 4:3?

2. Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the

projection distance.

3. Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average distance from screen

column labelled "Average". Check that your measured distance is between the min and max distances listed

on either side of the average distance value.

4. Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen diagonal listed in that row.

That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance. For example, if you have a 16:9-aspect-ratio screen and your measured projection distance was 4.5m (450cm), please refer to "16:9 (widescreen) ratio screen dimension table". The closest match in the "Average" column is 449 cm. Looking across this row shows that an 100-inch screen is required.

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 23 for details.

Connecting with video equipment

You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player, digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera. You can also connect it to a desktop or laptop PC or Apple Macintosh system. However, it has no built-in speakers and cannot be connected to audio equipment.

The projector can be connected to multiple video equipment at the same time by using different cables. All you need to do is select the appropriate input for the projector to display.

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is HDMI. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing and listening experience.

See "Connecting HDMI devices" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI device.

The RGBHV also provides high video quality that transmits Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal and Vertical sync signals separately on its own conductor.

See "Connecting RGBHV devices" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to a RGBHV device.

The next best video signal is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.

See "Connecting component-video devices" on page 17 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See "Connecting S-Video or video devices" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video or composite Video device.

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 sockets.

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.

*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.

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 to favorite colors. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its color range and saturation according to your preference.

To adjust and store the settings:

1. In the Picture -- Advanced menu, highlight Color Management and press ENTER. The Color Management page displays.

2. Highlight Primary Color and press / to select a color from among Red, Ye l l o w , Green, Cyan, Blue, and Magenta.

3. Press to highlight Range and press / to select the color range you wish to make adjustment. The bigger the range, the more proportions of its two adjacent colors the color contains.

Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each other. For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red is selected. Increasing its range will include both the red color close to yellow and red color close to magenta.

4. Press to highlight Saturation and adjusts the color saturation level by pressing / . If you select Red and set its range at 0, only the saturation of the pure red will be affected.

Selecting the aspect ratio

The "aspect ratio" is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Digital TV is usually in 16:9 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and most analog TV signals and DVDs are in 4:3 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input source. Images can be stretched in a linear manner so the whole of the image is stretched equally, or non-linearly, which distorts the image.

To change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):

• Using the remote control

Press one of the aspect ratio buttons to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

•Using the OSD menu

1. Press MENU and then press / until the Display menu is highlighted.

2. Press to highlight Aspect Ratio.

3. Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

1. Anamorphic (ANA): Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This setting stretches and resizes linearly, except that it treats the vertical and horizontal dimensions independently. It stretches the height of the source image until it reaches the full projected height, and stretches the width of the source image until it reaches the full projected width. This may alter the projected aspect, depending upon the original aspect of the source image. Anamorphic is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

2. 4:3: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 pictures like computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

3. Letter Box (LB): Scales a picture to fit the projector’s native resolution in its horizontal width and resize the picture’s height to the 3/4 of the projection width. This may produce a picture greater in height than can be displayed, so part of the picture is lost (not displayed) along the top and bottom edges of the projection. This is suitable for the display of movies which are presented in letter box format (with black bars on the top and bottom).

4. Wide: Stretches the picture horizontally in a non-linear manner, that is, the edges of the picture are stretched more than the center of the picture to prevent distortion of the central part of the picture. This is suitable for occasions where you want to stretch the width of a 4:3 aspect picture to the width of a 16:9 aspect screen. It does not alter the height. Some widescreen movies have been produced with their width squashed down to the width of a 4:3 aspect, and are best viewed when restretched back to their original width using this setting.

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you have to do on a regular basis is keep the lens clean and clean or replace the air filter. Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp or the air filter. Contact your dealer or local BenQ Customer Service Centre if the projector fails to operate as expected.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Before you attempt to clean the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

1. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. (Available from building hardware or photographic suppliers.)

2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a proper photographic lens brush or moisten a clean soft lens cloth with lens cleaner to gently wipe the lens surface.

Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels can damage the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning solution. Do not attempt to clean the lens while the projector is switched on or is still hot from previous use.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you attempt to clean the case, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

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

2. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

English

Storing the projector

If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please:

1. Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for the projector. Please refer to the Spec. page in this manual or consult your dealer about the range.

2. Retract the adjuster feet.

3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.

4. Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent. When you carry the projector yourself, please use a soft carry case.

Cleaning and replacing the dust filter

The message to the right displays periodically every 500 hours use. You can also use the Advanced Setup > Dust Filter > Dust Filter Hours menu or the Information > Dust Filter Hours menu to check how long the filter has been used. If the filter is not cleaned, it can become clogged with dust and prevent proper ventilation. This can cause overheating and a malfunction of the projector. Should the projector filter become seriously clogged with dust, it can cause over-heating inside of the projector.

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:

Equivalent lamp hour = 1 (hours used in Whisper mode) + 3/2 (hours used in Normal mode)

See "Setting Lamp Power as Whisper" below for more information on Whisper mode.

To obtain the lamp hour information:

1. Press MENU and then press / until the Advanced Setup menu is highlighted.

2. Press to highlight Lamp and press ENTER. The Lamp page displays.

3. Highlight Lamp Hours and press ENTER to display the Lamp Hours information page.

4. To leave the menu, press MENU.

About Lamp Rest Rate:

Lamp Rest Rate shows the percentage of the lamp rest life. The method of calculating the rate is as follows:

Rest Rate = [1 - (Total Lamp Hours /3000)] x 100%

Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 20003000 hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

• Setting Lamp Power as Whisper

Using Whisper mode reduces system noise and power consumption. If the Whisper mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.

Setting the projector in Whisper mode also extends the lamp life. To set Whisper mode, go into the Advanced Setup > Lamp > Lamp Power menu and press / .

•Setting Auto Off

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected after a set period of time.

To s e t Auto Off, go into the System Setup > Auto Off menu and press / to select a time period. The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.
