Usage Guidelines

•

Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.

•

Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.

•

Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.

•

Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.

•

Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 43.

Introduction

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

Place the projector on a flat surface.

•

The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.

•

If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 28 to reverse the image.

•

If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling Projection” on page 27. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately, see “Optional Accessories” on page 43.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

•

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image. Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 50.

NOTE: The projector must be at

least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pro-

jection screen.

Connecting the projector to a computer

NOTE: Many laptop computers

do not automatically turn on their

external video port when a sec-

ondary display device such as a

projector is connected. Refer to

your computer manual for the

command that activates the exter-

nal video port. Activation com-

mands for some laptop computers

are listed in the Appendix of this

manual on page 44 and in the

Technical Support section of our

website.

NOTE: If you are connecting an

older Macintosh computer that

does not have a 15-pin connector,

you must use a Mac adaptor

between the computer and the

projector. See “Optional Accesso-

ries” on page 43.

Setting up the Projector

Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote or keypad?

Plug the USB cable into the USB mouse connector on your

Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the projector?

Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on

your computer.

Plug the other end of the audio cable into the connector

on the projector.

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop. Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on page 13.

Connecting a Video Player

If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video

connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video cable that shipped with the projector.

•

If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the audio cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 43.)

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the

“video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 7). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”

•

If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video out” connector on the video player (Figure 8).

Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-
