Shutting down the projector
Troubleshooting your setup
The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed.
Screen Save
You can make the black screen appear after five minutes by turning on
Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 32. There are six time
options for the Screen Save feature. They range from five minutes to 30 minutes with five minute intervals.
Power Save
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the
lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional
minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is
received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You
must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have
passed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. See page 31.
Turning off the projector
To turn off the projector, press the power button and verify that you want to
turn the projector off by pressing the power button again within 3 seconds.
You can cancel the shutdown by not pressing the power button a second
time. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for 1 minute while the
fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED
lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power
off the projector.
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section
(page 23). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup.
The LED on top of the projector’s keypad indicates the state of the projector
and can help you troubleshoot.

menu navigation buttons
Using the remote control
The remote uses two (2) provided AAA batteries. They are easily installed
by sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the
batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not
at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m).
To use the laser pointer, press and hold the Laser button. The laser turns off
when the button is released, or times out after two (2) minutes of continuous operation.
Left and right remote mouse buttons are used to mimic the actions of the
left/right mouse buttons on your computer. Mouse cursor movement is
managed via the remote’s Cursor control. Connect the USB connector on the
computer cable to your computer to use these buttons and control your
computer’s mouse. When you do this for the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See page 8 for details on loading the correct USB
drivers.
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and
adjust values in the menus. See page 27 for more info on the menus.
The remote also has a power button to turn the projector on and off (see
page 14 for shutdown info), volume and mute buttons to control the sound,
a backlight button to light the remote’s buttons in the dark, and video and
computer buttons to switch between sources.
Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the blank button
to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which
color is displayed, see page 32); use the effect button to invoke a user-definable action, such as freeze or zoom (see page 32 to learn to program this button).

Troubleshooting the remote
• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are
not dead.
• Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).
• If you are trying to control your computer’s mouse, make sure the USB
cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers
are installed.
23
Using the audio
To play sound from the projector, connect your source to the Audio In connector on the projector.
To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the keypad or remote.
To mute the sound, press the Mute button.
Troubleshooting audio
If there is no sound, check the following:
• Make sure the audio cable is connected.
• Make sure mute isn’t active.
• Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the volume button
on the keypad or remote.
• Make sure that if you are connected to Computer 1 on the back of the
projector, that you are also connected to the corresponding audio in. If
you are connected to Computer 2, be sure you are connected to its cor-
responding audio in.
• Adjust the audio source.
• If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.
Connecting external speakers
The projector can be attached to external speakers that have their own
power source by plugging speaker cables into the projector’s left and right

Optimizing computer images
Presentation features
After your computer is connected properly and the computer’s image is on
the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 27.
• Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.
• Change the Aspect Ratio. Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to
image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV
and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your
input source. See page 28 for details.
• Adjust the Color Space or Color Temperature in the Advanced menu.
• Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the
Advanced menu.
• Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can
save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these
settings later. See page 29.
Several features are provided to make giving presentation easier. The following is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 27.
• The remote’s Effect button allows you to assign various features to the
key. The default effect is About, which displays information about the
projector and current source. You can select from Blank, Mute, Aspect
Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, and About. See page 32 for
details.
• The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is useful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audience seeing them.
• The Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen
instead of the active source. See page 32.
• The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup
screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 32.
• Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to automatically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or
display a black screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 31 and
page 32.
• A Low Power menu option is also available to help lower the projector’s fan sound volume. See page 31.
25
Optimizing video images
After the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen,
you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 27.
• Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture
menu. See page 28.
• Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to
image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV
and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your
input source. See page 28.

Using the menus
To open the menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote. (The
menus automatically close after 60 seconds if no buttons are pressed.) The
Main menu appears. Use the arrow buttons to move up and down to highlight the desired submenu, then press the Select button.
To change a menu setting, highlight it, press Select, then use the up and
down arrow buttons to adjust the value, select an option using radio buttons, or turn the feature on or off using check boxes. Press Select to confirm
your changes. Use the arrows to navigate to another setting. When your
adjustments are complete, navigate to Exit, then press Select to go to the
previous menu; press the Menu button at any time to close the menus.
Dots appear before the menu name. The number of dots indicate the menu’s
level, ranging from one (the Main menu) to four (the most nested menus).
The menus are grouped by usage:
• The Picture menu provides image adjustments.
• The Settings menu provides set-up type adjustments that are not
changed often.
• The About menu provides a read-only display of information about the
projector and source.
Certain menu items may be hidden until a particular source is connected.
For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and will be hidden when a computer source is active. Other menu items may be grayed out
when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed out until an
image is active.

To adjust the following five settings, highlight the setting, press Select, use
the up and down arrows to adjust the values, then press select to confirm
the changes.
Key st on e: adjusts the image vertically and makes a squarer image. You can
also adjust keystone from the keypad.
Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest
parts of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the
image.
Brightness: changes the intensity of the image.
Color: (video sources only) adjusts a video image from black and white to
fully saturated color.
Tint: (NTSC video sources only) adjusts the red-green color balance in the
image.
Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height.
TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are
1.78:1, or 16:9. The default is 4:3, which displays the input resized up or
down to fill the display area.

Presets: The provided Presets optimize the projector for displaying com-
puter presentations, photographs, film images, and video images. (Film
input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a movie; video
input is material originally captured on a video camera, like a TV show or
sporting event.) You can use the preset as a starting point, then further customize the settings for each source. The settings you customize are saved in
the preset for each source. To restore the factory default settings, choose Factory Reset in the Settings>Service menu.
There are also three user-definable presets. To set a preset for the current
source, adjust the image, select Save Settings in the Presets menu, then
choose Save User 1, 2, or 3. You can recall these settings in the future by
selecting the appropriate user presets.

Advanced settings
Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video
image. Select a sharpness setting.
Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video
sources (it won’t appear in the menu for S-video or composite video
sources). It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned
for the video input. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically
determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then
choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709, or
REC601 for component video sources.
Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed
value, or select User and individually adjust the intensity of the red, green,
and blue colors.
Video Standard: When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the
video standard automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The
video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If
the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not
look right or the image may appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select
a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.
Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image.
The following 4 options are for computer sources only.
Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source.
Tr a c k i ng : adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source.

Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of a computer source.

Settings menu
Audio: allows adjustments to the sound Balance between speakers and
speaker Volume. The Internal speakers and projector startup Chime can be
turned on or off by placing or removing a check in the respective checkboxes.
Sources>Power-up Source: this determines which source the projector
checks first for active video during power-up.
Audio
Sources
: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key as
an optional full-featured remote. Also allows selection of a default Powerup Source and enables or disables Autosource. When Autosource is not
checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If
no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked,
Power-up Source determines which source the projector defaults to at
power-up. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in order
until a source is found or until power down.
System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen.
Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.
NOTE: It is recommended that all final image adjustments in Ceiling mode
are made once the unit has fully warmed up.
Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically
goes into the startup state after the projector is powered on. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch.
Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or
“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Low Power: toggles between on and off. Turn it on to lower the light output
of the lamp. This also lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter.
Power Save: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected
for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector
powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers
down, the image will be displayed.

Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the
cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh
chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you
don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Replacing the projection lamp
The lamp hour timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the
lamp has been in use. After 1,980 hours, the message “Change lamp” briefly
appears on the screen at each startup. When the timer reaches 2,000 hours,
the lamp will no longer light. You can order new lamp modules from B
LIGHT. See “Accessories” on page 38 for information.
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
3 Turn the projector upside down and remove the lamp door by removing
the two screws and sliding the lamp door tabs out of the three tab bays.
CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp door removed.
This disrupts the air flow and causes the projector to overheat.
4 Loosen the captive screw on the lamp module.

WARNINGS:
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before
you replace the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection
sharpness.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely
event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but
use caution when removing it.
5 Carefully remove the lamp module by grasping and lifting the metal
bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.
6 Install the new lamp module, making sure that it is properly seated.
7 Tighten the single screw.
8 Replace the lamp door by sliding the tabs into the tab bays and tighten-
ing the two screws.
9 Plug in the power cable, then press the Power button to turn the projec-
tor back on.
10 Reset the lamp hour timer.
Resetting the lamp timer
If the lamp timer has reached the maximum number of hours for the projector lamp (2,000 hours), the LED on the projector’s keypad will show a lamp
error (see “LED behavior and meaning” on page 14). To reset the lamp age,
simultaneously holding down the two Vo lu me keys on the projector’s keypad for 10 seconds. At that point the LED will turn green and you can
power on the projector.
You can also navigate to the Settings>Service menu and select Lamp Reset
to reset the lamp timer.
