The Compaq Microportable Projector is capable of displaying
various High Definition TV (HDTV) display modes. A variety of
sources can be used to provide HDTV data to the projector for
display. Some of these sources are:
Digital-VHS (D-VHS) player
■
HDTV-DVD player
■
Satellite Dish HDTV receiver
■
A variety of DTV tuners (to receive programming over the
■
airwaves)
Game stations
■
Most of these sources will provide an analog component video
output, a standard VGA output, or a standard digital DVI output.
The color information can be either in YPrPb (default) format or
RGB format. The user can switch between these using the
on-screen display menu adjustments by selecting “A/V & HDTV
Control.” Refer to “Introducing the On-Screen Display Menu” in
Chapter 3 for more information.
The projector is capable of processing HDTV data provided
either on the standard VGA connector or the DVI interface. Use
the VGA-to-HDTV/Component video cable that comes with the
optional Home Theater Kit to feed the component outputs to the
VGA input connector.
The following modes are supported on the DVI interface:
When displaying HDTV content, it is recommended that you
display it in its native 16:9 widescreen mode. For this, you may
need to select the HDTV Fill to Aspect Ratio mode on the
projector to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the
material. Note that in this mode, you will have black stripes on
top and bottom of the projected image, just as you see on a
standard TV set when viewing widescreen content.
A desktop or notebook computer can also be used to generate a
HDTV video stream. Capable computers should be able to
read/acquire the HDTV data and blend it into the desktop
graphics. The composite image is then sent to the projector for
display. In this case, the projector displays the image at the
standard 4:3 aspect ratio, just as it would any other computer
graphics mode. The projector processes the data as it comes from
the computer.
When displaying HDTV content in a window as part of your
desktop environment, it is recommended to project it in the
computer’s native 4:3 mode since the computer has already
embedded the HDTV video stream in widescreen format within
the window. To do so, you may need to select the Fill to Screen
mode on your projector to preserve the height-to-width
relationship of the material.
Regardless of the source, the HDTV formats are generally of
higher resolution than that of the projector (XGA, or 1024 x 768).
Therefore, the projector will normally downscale the HDTV data
to fit the complete image within the displayable 1024 x 768
resolution.
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq
projector during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Projector
To protect your projector from overheating and other types of
damage, follow these suggestions:
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this
■
projector as indicated on the product label located on the
bottom of the projector.
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or
■
convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If an extension cord
or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated
for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all
products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do
not exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings
limit. Refer to the product label located on the bottom of the
projector.
7
Install the projector near an outlet that you can easily reach.
■
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug firmly and
pulling it from the electrical outlet.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.
■
Use only cleaners recommended for cleaning camera lenses
to clean the projector lens.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
■
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push
objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
Do not drop the projector or place it on an unstable surface.
■
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture.
■
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk
■
on the cord.
Do not allow the projector to be exposed to high
■
temperatures.
Do not open the projector or attempt to service this product
■
for any reason other than to replace the lamp module. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. If the projector is not operating properly or has
been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
Cleaning the Lens
To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface,
follow this cleaning procedure. First, remove any dust particles
from the lens by blowing them off with clean, dry, deionized air.
However, this may not be a convenient method, and an alternate
method is described below.
CAUTION: Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens
Ä
surface.
1. Spray a clean cloth with a cleaner recommended for cleaning
camera lenses.
2. Wipe the lens in a single direction with the cloth. Do not wipe
back and forth across the lens surface.
3. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the
cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged,
replace it.
Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or
✎
softener sheets when drying the cloth.
CAUTION: Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a
Ä
long time as doing so may contaminate the lens with dye from the cloth.
The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air.
