to scratch or mar the lens.

CAUTION

Do not unplug the power cable from the wall outlet under any one of the following circumstances. Doing so can cause damage to the projector:

• While the message "Please wait a moment." appears. This

message will be displayed after the projector is turned off.

• Immediately after the power cable is plugged into the wall outlet

(the POWER indicator has not changed to a steady orange glow).

• Immediately after the cooling fan stops working (The cooling fan

continues to work for 90 seconds after the projector is turned off).

Lamp Replacement

• To replace the lamp, follow all instructions provided on page 9-2.

• Be sure to replace the lamp when the message "The Lamp has reached the end of its usable life. Please replace the lamp." appears. If you continue to use the lamp after the lamp has reached the end of its usable life, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case.

CAUTION: Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may

cause injury. If this happens, contact your Digital Projection dealer for lamp replacement.

• Allow a minimum of 90 seconds to elapse after turning off the projector. Then turn off the main power and disconnect the power cable and allow 15 minutes to cool the projector before replacing the lamp.

Fire and Shock Precautions

1. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation and that vents are unobstructed to prevent the build-up of heat inside your projector. Allow at least 3 inches (10 cm) of space between your projector and a wall, except to the rear and the ventilation outlet on the right side, where there should be at least 12 inches (30cm) of space.

2. Prevent foreign objects such as paper clips and bits of paper from falling into your projector. Do not attempt to retrieve any objects that might fall into your projector. Do not insert any metal objects such as a wire or screwdriver into your projector. If something should fall into your projector, disconnect it immediately and have the object removed by a qualified Digital Projection service personnel.

3. Do not place any liquids on top of your projector.

4. When using a LAN cable:

For safety, do not connect to the connector for peripheral device wiring that might have excessive Voltage.

CAUTION

• Do not look into the lens while the projector is on. Serious damage to your eyes could result.

• Keep any items such as magnifying glass out of the light path of the projector. The light being projected from the lens is extensive, therefore any kind of abnormal objects that can redirect light coming out of the lens, can cause unpredictable outcome such as fire or injury to the eyes.

• Do not cover the lens with the supplied lens hood cap or equivalent while the projector is on. Doing so can lead to melting of the cap and possibly burning your hands due to the heat emitted from the light output.

CAUTION

• Do not try to touch the ventilation outlets as they can become heated while the projector is turned on.

• Do not put the projector on its side when the lamp is turned on.

Doing so may cause damage to the projector.

• Before shipping this projector, remove the lens and attach the lens hood cap.

The Lens Shift mechanism may encounter damage caused by improper handling during transportation.

• Do not eject a PC card or LAN card while its data is being accessed. Doing so can damage your PC card or LAN card.

Remote Control Precautions

• The remote control system may not function when direct sunlight or strong illumination strikes the remote control sensor of the main unit, or when there is an obstacle in the path.

• When remote control buttons are pressed and held, projector’s function keys may not operate.

• Do not subject to strong shock.

• Do not allow water or other liquid to splash on the remote control. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

• Avoid exposure to heat and steam.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control when the remote control is not going to be used for a long period.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Installing the Remote Control Batteries When it comes time to replace the batteries, two "AA" type will be required.

1. Press and open the cover.

Operating Range for Wireless Remote Control

The infrared signal operates by line-of-sight up to a distance of approximately 7m (20 feet) and a 60 degree angle of the remote sensor. The projector will not function if there are objects between the remote sensor and the remote control or if strong light falls on the remote sensor. Weak batteries will also prevent the projector from operating properly.

For screen sizes between 60" and 400" not indicated on the tables, use the formula below:

Throw Distance (distance from front of casing to screen) = [Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (magnification)] +/- [ extension]

(where [extension] = distance between front of casing and end of lens)

Example: Throw Distance for 2.5m wide screen using zoom lens 001-736 set to 1.3 : 1

Throw Distance = 2.5m x 1.3 = 3.25m + .088m = 3.34m

= 98in x 1.3 = 127in + 3.5in = 130.5in

Lens extensions and useable ranges are as follows:

Lens Shift Adjustable Range

The diagram shows the location of the image position in the lens. The lens can be shifted within the shaded area as shown using the normal projection position as a starting point.

Maximum Possible Range (for zoom lenses only: fixed lens cannot be shifted): Up: 0.5 H where H: height of projected image Down: 0.16 H Right: 0.1 W where W: width of projected image Left: 0.1 W

NOTE: If lens is shifted in two directions combined, maximum range in both directions cannot be obtained due to circular shape of lens. (example: shift up and right - see dotted box in diagram below.)

NOTE: zoom lenses only: fixed lenses cannot be shifted without losing the corners of the image

Desktop Mounting

Ceiling Mounting

WARNING

* Installing the projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified

technician.

• Tilting the projector from side to side by more than 12° from level will reduce lamp life (see page iv).

• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls, you could be injured and the projector severely damaged.

• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 95°F (35°C).

• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will reduce the quality of the image.

• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the projector.

Digital Projection MERCURY HD 2. Installation

Optional Lens Installation

This section describes how to install the lens.

Before installation

* Determine the optional lens to be used to obtain a desired projection distance. There are six optional lenses available:

0.64 : 1 fixed part no. 102-373

0.96 : 1 fixed part no. 102-835

1.2 - 1.44 : 1 zoom part no. 102-374

1.44 - 1.8 : 1 zoom part no. 102-375

1.8 - 2.4 : 1 zoom part no. 102-376

2.4 - 3.6 : 1 zoom part no. 102-377

3.6 - 5.6 zoom part no. 102-378

* Press the power button (ON/STAND BY) on the projector or POWER OFF button on the remote control for a minimum of two seconds to turn

off the power, wait 90 seconds for the cooling fan to stop, then disconnect the power cable.

Check that the projector has cooled off sufficiently before proceeding.

CAUTION

* The projector and lens contain high-precision parts. Do not induce shock to the projector or the lens.

* Do not touch the lens surface. Doing so can degrade the optical performance.

Preparation: Tools needed for installation:

A cross head screwdriver.

NOTE: It is possble that the ‘Lens Shift’ feature (described on the previous page and in Section 3. Projecting an Image) may have used to move the lens mount to the far right side, making installation difficult. If this is the case, then turn the projector back on again and use the Position buttons to shift the lens back towards the mid-position. When this has been done, turn the projector off as decribed above, before continuing.

1. Remove the rear lens cover, but leave the front cover on to protect the lens surface during installation.

2. Insert the lens into the lens mount with the connector to the right, taking care to line up the locating pin on the lens with the locating hole above the opening. Push the lens in firmly to engage the connector.

* If the internal temperature of the projector is too high, the projector

detects abnormal high temperature. In this condition the projector will not turn on to protect the internal system. If this happens, wait for the projector's internal components to cool down.

* When the lamp reaches its end of usable life, the projector will not

turn on. If this happens, replace the lamp.

* If the lamp fails to light, and if the LAMP indicator 1 or 2 flashes on

and off in a cycle of six times, wait a full minute and then turn on the power.

Tips on Adjusting Focus

Optimum focus adjustments can be achieved on the projector by paying special attention in a few areas. Focus adjustment after the projector has warmed up to normal operating temperature is better than doing so when the projector is cold. Lens mechanism interacts differently when adjusting focus from one direction to the other. For this reason final focus adjustments should be done in a specific direction.

For optimum focus, follow the steps below. For the zoom and the lens shift adjustment, perform the normal procedures.

Correcting the Horizontal and Vertical

Keystone Distortion (DigiScale - 3D Reform)

Use the DigiScale - 3D Reform feature to correct keystone (trapezoidal) distortion to make the top or bottom and the left or right side of the screen longer or shorter so that the projected image is rectangular. In the following description, DigiScale - 3D Reform (Cornerstone) correction can be done with the USB mouse, remote control or cabinet buttons.

When using the USB mouse connected to the projector

Preparation: Connect the USB mouse to the projector. See page 4-3.

1. Project an image so that the screen is smaller than the area of the raster.

2. Pick up any one of the corners and align the corner of the screen with the one of the image. (The drawing shows the upper right corner.)

6. To complete the procedure, right-click anywhere on the screen. The confirmation screen is displayed.

7. Left-click on "OK". This completes the Cornerstone adjustment.

* To return the Cornerstone adjustment to the default settings, left-click

on "Reset" in Step 7.

You can save your Cornerstone changes. The changes are saved when you turn off the projector. To do so, select [Projector Options] ¤ [Setup]¤ [Page 4]. Select the 3D Reform Save check box. This is not selected at the time of shipment.

* There are limitations of shapes which can be corrected using the Cornerstone adjustment. When adjusting the Cornerstone beyond these limits, you will get the message "Out of adjustment range!" and no correction can be done. Should this happen, do the Cornerstone adjustment again within the allowable range. * Due to limitations of accuracy within internal processes, there may be some discrepancy of positions between the mouse cursor and corrected shape or one corner and the other 3 corners.

3. Press the 3D REFORM button on the projector or the KEYSTONE button on the remote control. The Cornerstone adjustment screen is displayed.

NOTE: Press the 3D REFORM button to toggle between "Cornerstone" and "Keystone."

(This is evident when part of your image appears to be shimmering.) This adjustment may be necessary when you connect your computer for the first time.

NOTE: During 3D Reform adjustment, "Aspect Ratio" and "Screen" may not be available. Should this happen, first reset the 3D Reform data and then do each setting. Second repeat the 3D Reform adjustment. Changing Aspect Ratio and/or Screen setting can limit 3D Reform in its adjustable range.

The adjustable ranges for 3D Reform are as follows:

Horizontal ........... Max ±30° approx.

Vertical ............... Max ±40° approx.

* The following are conditions at the above maximum angle when all

of the following are met

• Image is projected in Wide (Zoom)

• The lens is positioned at the center (when not, adjustable range increases or decreases)

• Resolution is 1280 x 720

Higher resolution than XGA limits 3D Reform in its adjustable range.

• Menu items should be set as follows:

Aspect Ratio ............................... 4:3

Screen Type ............................... 4:3

• Horizontal and Vertical are adjusted separately.

A combination of both adjustments limits 3D Reform in its adjustable range.

• When “Native” is selected in “Resolution”, “3D Reform” is not available.

NOTE:

• Some signals may not be displayed correctly or take time.

Auto Play Mode

If the "Auto Play" option is selected in "Viewer Options" of the menu, any given slide will start to play automatically. You can also specify Auto Play Interval between 5 and 300 seconds.

Switching to Slides Directly from Other Input Modes

With this function it is possible to switch directly to a slide when the picture of a VCR or computer is being projected. Example: When conducting presentations using a combination of slides and moving pictures from a VCR, etc., it is possible to switch from a Viewer slide to the video picture then back to the Viewer slide simply by using the SELECT button.

NOTE: Even if you switch the current Viewer source to another source, the current slide is retained. When you return back to the Viewer, you will get the slide that has been retained.

The PC card editing operation cannot be performed from the projector. Do so using the Dynamic Image Utility 2.0 software.

Viewing Digital Images

Digital images can be played with the Viewer if the following conditions are met:

• If the image can be stored on an MS-DOS format PC card

• If the image can be stored in a format supported by the Viewer.

With the Viewer, images on the card are searched for in directories and images in JPEG or BMP format are recognized as slides. Searchable directories are directories within two steps from the root directory, and searchable images are images within the first 12 files in the directory. Only file and slide switching are possible.

NOTE: The maximum number of images recognized as slides within one directory is 128.

Storing Images Displayed on the Projector on the PC card (Capture)

The Capture features allows you to capture an image from a source that is currently being displayed. The image is saved as JPEG in the PC card. When you select Capture from the menu, you will get a tool bar. You can capture an image directly using the tool bar when the menu is not displayed.

NOTE: * Unless a PC card is inserted into the PC Card slot of the projector,

the Capture feature is not available.

* The "Card Error" display means that the free space of the PC card is

insufficient for saving images. Make more space available on the card by erasing unwanted images with your PC. The number of images that can be captured depends on the size of the PC card.

Preparations:

Insert the PC card into the card slot.

Insert the PC card so that the end with the insertion direction arrow on the top goes in first. * Press the eject button to eject the card.

1. Project the image you wish to store on the projector.

2. Select the "Capture" from the Tools menu.

NOTE: You can compress a captured file (JPEG) using the Capture Options in the Setup dialog. See page 8-15.

Captured images with higher resolution than the projector's native resolution cannot be displayed correctly.

• File size of the captured image varies depending on the resolution of

an input signal.

• An hourglass indicating that an image is being captured appears on

the projector's display. Do not eject the PC card or turn off the projector's power while this icon is displayed. Doing so will damage the PC card data. If the PC card data is damaged, use a computer to repair the data.

CAUTION: Make sure that the PC card is removed during Standby mode (NOT Idle mode) or with the main power off. Failure to do so may cause damage to the data on your PC card, or may cause the projector to malfunction. Should a malfunction occur, turn off the main power and turn it back on.

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of the Digital Projection portable projector (hereafter referred to as "unit" or "projector"). This projector is connected to a personal computer or other equipment and clearly projects text or graphics to a screen.

This projector is supplied with convenient software that allows presentations to be made more simply and effectively. This guide gives an overview and describes the use of the accompanying software (contained in the CD-ROM that is supplied with this projector). Look over this guide in conjunction with the Help functions of the software programs.

Contents of the Supplied CD-ROM

The supplied CD-ROM contains the following software programs:

• Dynamic Image Utility 2.0

• Viewer PPT Converter 2.0

• Image Express Utility 1.0

Please see the Help functions of the software programs for information about their functions and operation.

What Can Be Accomplished with the Supplied Software

Dynamic Image Utility 2.0

• Converts PowerPoint files, JPEG images, and other files and creates slides that can be displayed with the viewer function of the projector.

• Captures portions of the image from the screens of word processors, spreadsheets, browsers, and other programs for use in presentations.

• By saving the created slides on a flash memory card (*1) and inserting the card into the PC Card slot of the projector, the slides can be projected to the screen without connecting a personal computer.

• The connection of personal computers and projectors by means of a network environment (*2) or connection with USB cable (*3) or serial cable allows the following uses. (In a network environment or USB cable connection (*3) , support of multiple units is permitted.)

(1) Images and slides can be sent from the personal computer to the

projector and then projected to the screen. When using Microsoft PowerPoint 2000/2002, slides can be sent synchronized with the slide show page feed.

(2) A personal computer can be used to switch the projector power

on/off, control the adjustment of image quality and other settings, and to display the remaining lamp life.

Image Express Utility 1.0

• Using a network environment (*2), this program enables the screen image displayed by the personal computer to be sent to the projector and then projected to a screen.

• Two methods are available for sending the screen image to the projector. "Continuous Transmit" automatically sends the screen image of the personal computer at a fixed interval. "Single Frame Transmit" sends the screen image by clicking the screen button (or pressing a key).

*1: Please purchase a commercially available PCMCIA Type 2 (ATA

specification) flash memory card.

Are more than one network interface cards (NIC) being used with the same computer?

<Problem> Sometimes it takes a long time for screen transmission from the personal computer to the projector. (IEU 1.0)

Check Points

• Transmission time may be long depending on the image pattern.

• When screens are sent to multiple projectors simultaneously, a larger number of projectors will result in longer transmission times.

• The transmission time may vary depending on the network environment.

• The transmission time may vary depending on the performance of the personal computer as well as other application software that is running at the same time.

Replacing the Lamp

The projector has a single lamp pre-wired into the lamp module. After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours (Normal mode using the standard lamp, part number 102-246), the "Lamp" indicator on the control panel will blink red and a warning message will appear. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it as soon as possible to maintain optimal projector performance.
