WARNING

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” with­in the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompa­nying the appliance.

1. Read and keep this instruction.

2. Heed all warnings.

3. Follow all instructions.

4. Do not use this apparatus near water.

5. Clean only with a dry cloth.

6. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

8. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician
for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.

9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

10. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by The company.

11. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus to avoid injury from
tip-over.

12. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the ap­paratus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14. The +12V trigger only outputs 12Vdc signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output.
This could cause damage to this unit.

15. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.

16. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes
prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.

17. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond rated life could cause them
to explode in rare occasions.

18. Never look directly into the lens when the lamp is on.

Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector tempo­rarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally.

Installation Type

Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount. Table 3-2
compares these various installation methods.

Ad v a ntages Co n s ide r ati o ns

Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Easy to set up

• Can be moved or changed quickly

• Easy to access

• Shares floor space with audience

Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation

• Projector is completely hidden

• Projector is easily accessed

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Requires separate room

• Installation cost is usually higher

Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror

• Projector is completely hidden

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Requires less space behind screen than other rear

screen installations

• Requires separate room

• Installation cost is usually higher

Ambient Light

Table 3-2: Projector Installation Options

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably
reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image.
Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.

Throw Distance

Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the screen. This is an important calculation
in any projector installation as it determines whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with a de­sired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen.

You can quickly estimate the throw distance by taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio;
see Figure 3-2. The result of this calculation tells you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the
screen in order to project a focused image large enough to fill the screen.

Estimating Throw Distance

Throw Ratio

Figure 3-2: Estimating Throw Distance

Two models of the projector are available, one with 1.56-1.86:1 lens and the other with 1.85-2.40 lens With optional
zoom adaptors throw ratios of 1.24 – 3.0 can be achieved.

The standard projector offers a throw ratio of between 1.85 and 2.40.

With the optional, short-throw accessory lens, the projector offers a throw ratio of between 1.56 and 1.86. A .73:1 fixed
lens is also available.

Vertical and Horizontal Position

Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that com-
pletely fills the screen.

Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that the lens center is aligned
with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area, and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-4: Vertical Lens Shift (Example Only)

Vertical Lens Shift:

The projector provides up to 120% of upward vertical lens shift and up to 120% of downward vertical lens shift. For ex­ample, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you can shift the image up to 14.00 inches (0.36 meters) above or 33.60
inches (0.85 meters) below the screen center.

Horizontal Lens Shift:

The projector provides ±30% of horizontal lens shift. For example, with a 100 x 56 inch (1.78:1) screen, you can shift
the image up to 7.50 inches (0.19 meters) left or right of the screen center.

Folded Optics

In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path,
as shown in Figure 3-6. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type
of installation, contact your dealer for assistance.

Other Considerations

Figure 3-6: Folded Optics

Other considerations and tips that can help improve your installation:

• Keep the ambient temperature constant and below 35°C (95°F). Keep the projector away from heating and/or air
conditioning vents. Changes in temperature may cause drifts in the projector circuitry, which may affect perform­ance.

• Keep the projector away from devices that radiate electromagnetic energy such as motors and transformers.
Common sources of these include slide projectors, speakers, power amplifiers and elevators.

• Utilize optical offset prior to tilting or aiming projector at screen.

• Keep optics, lens and port glass clean for best performance and image quality.

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be
more suitable than another.

Floor Mounting (Upright)

In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface such as a
table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the
wheels when it’s in position to prevent it from being moved during a presentation.

Adjusting the Projection Angle

If the screen is significantly higher or lower than the projector, you can also tilt the projector at a slight angle. In a ceil­ing installation, you do this by adjusting the ceiling mount.

For a floor installation, turn the adjustable feet at the bottom of the projector to adjust the projection angle.

If you do this, you may need to vertically shift the image to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Lens
Adjustments on page 30.

Aspect Ratio: To change the aspect ratio (size and shape) of the projected image, press or to highlight Aspect
Ratio. Use the or buttons to select the appropriate aspect ratio for your screen size, installed lens configuration
and the type of program material being viewed, then press ENTER; refer to Table 4-2.

Memory: Select Memory from the Main menu, then press ENTER to recall image quality settings previously saved, or
to save changed settings in any of four memory locations.

• Recall Memory: Select Recall Memory from the Memory menu to recall saved image quality settings. Unless you
select Default (see below), this control affects all sources, not just the active source.

• User Memory 1 and User Memory 2 contain the factory default settings when the projector is initially turned on.

• Choose Default to restore the factory-default settings for the active source only. The other sources are
unaffected.

• Save Settings: Select Save Settings from the Memory menu to save any image-related settings you have changed
to User Memory 1 or User Memory 2.

The following items are saved (for all sources, not just the active source):

• Brightness / Contrast

• Color Saturation / Color Tint

• Sharpness (all settings in sub-menu)

• Noise Reduction (all settings in sub-menu)

• Color Space

• Video Standard

• Gamma

• DLP Frame Rate

• Color Gamut

• Adaptive Contrast

• RGB Adjust (all settings in sub-menu)

The settings that are saved are the same as those saved with the Save Settings command (see above).

Brightness: On your external test pattern source, select a PLUGE pattern. (PLUGE is an acronym for “Picture Line­Up Generation Equipment.”) Figure 4-3 shows a typical PLUGE pattern.

Below Black

Above Black

Figure 4-3: Typical PLUGE Pattern for Adjusting Brightness

PLUGE patterns vary but generally consist of some combination of black, white and gray areas against a black back­ground. The example above includes two vertical bars and four shaded boxes.

Select Brightness from the Main menu. Use the or buttons to adjust the level so that:

The darkest black bars disappear into the background.

• The dark gray areas are barely visible.

• The lighter gray areas are clearly visible.

• The white areas are a comfortable level of true white.

• The image contains only black, gray and white (no color).

Contras: On your external test pattern source, select a stepped, gray-bar pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-4.

Figure 4-4: Typical Gray Bar Pattern for Adjusting Contrast

Select Contrast from the Main menu. Use the or buttons to adjust the contrast up until the top two bars become
almost the same brightness, then down just until the brightness change between these bars is consistent with the other
bars.

Sharpness: “Sharpness” is the amount of high-frequency detail in the image. To adjust this, select Sharpness from the
Main menu and press ENTER. On your external test pattern source, select a pattern like the one shown in Figure 4-5.

Figure 4-5: Typical Test Pattern for Adjusting Sharpness

• Sharpness (Simple Mode): Adjust as needed, looking for white edges around the transitions from black to gray and
differently-sized lines in the “sweep” patterns at the top and bottom. Lower the sharpness setting to eliminate them.

• Sharpness Mode: Sharpness Mode allows or prevents access to the detailed sharpness controls in this menu.

• In most cases, Simple mode provides a sufficient level of control to produce the best picture from the most popular
sources. In Simple mode, only the Sharpness (top-most) slider is adjustable; the others are grayed out.

• Choose Advanced mode if you need more precise control over sharpness. In Advanced mode, only the top slider is
grayed out.

• Horizontal Sharpness / Vertical Sharpness / Diagonal Sharpness

• Use these controls to enhance image detail along horizontal, vertical and diagonal edges respectively.

• Sharpness Overshoot: Use the Sharpness Overshoot control to minimize or eliminate rings or shadows on dominant
edges that cannot be removed using the “simple” Sharpness control.

• Horizontal Texture / Vertical Texture / Diagonal Texture / Texture Overshoot: Use these controls to remove artifacts
from textured areas that cannot be removed using the “simple” Sharpness control.

• Noise Threshold: The Noise Threshold setting adjusts the frequency below which the Sharpness controls have an
effect. Frequencies above the threshold are considered “noise.”

Generally, the higher the setting, the more noticeable the effect of any adjustments will be.

• Noise Reduction: To apply noise reduction to the source signal, select Noise Reduction from the Main menu and
press ENTER. Noise Reduction is useful for clearing up noisy images from interlaced SD sources.

• Noise Reduction (Simple Mode): Use the or button to adjust as desired, keeping in mind that reducing noise (which
reduces high frequencies) may also soften the image.

• Noise Reduction Mode: Noise Reduction Mode allows or prevents access to the detailed noise reduction controls in
this menu.

In most cases, Simple mode provides a sufficient level of control to produce the best picture from the most popular
sources. In Simple mode, only the Noise Reduction (top-most) slider is adjustable; the others are grayed out.

Choose Advanced mode if you need more precise control over noise reduction. In Advanced mode, only the top
slider is grayed out.

• General Noise Reduction: General Noise Reduction is temporal and spatial noise reduction for all types of inputs.
The scene is analyzed for differences from frame to frame and reduces those differences that are not determined to
be motion.

• Block Artifact Reduction: Use this control to reduce or eliminate so-called “block artifacts” in MPEG-compressed vid­eo signals (digital broadcasts or DVDs). Set it as needed to minimize distortion within horizontal and vertical block
boundaries.

• Mosquito Noise Reduction: Use this control to reduce or eliminate so-called “mosquito noise” in MPEG-compressed
video signals. Set it as needed to minimize distortion around the edges of moving objects, moving artifacts around
edges and/or blotchy noise patterns superimposed over the objects.

Overscan: Some television programs are produced based on the assumption that older television sets may not display
the outer edges of the broadcast picture area. Overscan effectively hides these inactive, outer edges of the image.
Choose one of the following:

• Off: This setting leaves the image as-is.

• Crop: This setting adds a mask at the left and right edges of the source active image equal to 3% of the displayed
horizontal resolution, and at the top and bottom edges equal to 3% of the displayed vertical resolution.

• Zoom: This setting adds a factor to the scaling of the source active image so that the vertical and horizontal resolu­tions are 106% of the size determined by the aspect ratio function. Anything outside of the original image area is
removed.

Source Select: To select a video source, press or to highlight Source Select, then press ENTER. This displays the
Source Select sub-menu, shown in Figure 4-7.

The default source selection is RGB (VGA, HD15). All sources that are not available per the source enable function
(refer to Source Enable on page 54) are grayed out.

Figure 4-7: Source Select Sub-Menu

All sources that are not available per the source enable function (refer to Source Enable on page 54) are grayed out.

Resync: If the projected image becomes unstable or degraded, press or to highlight Resync, then press ENTER.

Advanced

Use the controls in the Advanced menu, shown in Figure 4-8, to perform advanced image adjustments.

Figure 4-8: Projector Advanced Menu

Color Space: Select Color Space from the Advanced menu to choose the color space of the source signal for HDMI,
RGB, and component connections.

• The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:

• HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the projector
uses that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the projector uses the RGB-Video color space. For compo­nent SDTV and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions, REC709 is used.

• RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the projector uses the RGB-PC color space. Otherwise, REC601 is
used for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 for all other sources.

• Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the projector uses the REC601 color space. For all other resolu­tions REC709 is used.

In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, you can force the projector to
use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:

• REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.

• REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.

• RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit im­age.

• RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit
image, to correspond to the luminance values defined in digital component standards.

Video Standard: Select Video Standard from the Advanced menu to specify the color system for composite video or
S-Video input signals.

Different countries use different formats for video signals. Select the appropriate Video Standard for your region:

• Auto: The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set accordingly.

• PAL: This is the standard used in Europe, Australia and many other parts of the world, typically with a 50Hz frame
rate.

• SECAM: This is a standard format used mainly in France and Russia.

• NTSC: This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.

Gamma: Select Gamma from the Advanced menu to choose a DLP de-gamma curve. Used correctly, the Gamma con­trol can improve contrast while maintaining good details for blacks and whites.

If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower
the gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the
image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black areas, increase the setting.

• CRT sets the gamma to 2.5.

• Film sets the gamma to 2.2.

• Video is similar to Film gamma but differs in dark areas of the image to correspond to the function that video cam­eras use to create images.

• Bright sets the gamma to 2.0.

• Graphics should only be used for computer presentations that require increased brightness at the cost of grayscale
accuracy.

DLP Frame Rate: Select DLP Frame Rate from the Advanced menu to choose the output frame rate. You can have the
projector automatically determine the optimum frame rate, or you can force it to use a specific frame rate.

• The default setting, Auto, frame locks to the main source if it has a vertical refresh rate of between 48 and 62Hz.
Vertical refresh rates of from 24 to 31Hz are doubled. Frame rates between 31 and 48Hz and greater than 62Hz are
converted to 60Hz.

• Select 48Hz to force the output frame rate to 48Hz. Use this setting to eliminate 2:3 pull-down judder with 60Hz film-
based sources.

• 50Hz and 60Hz force the output frame rate to 50Hz and 60Hz respectively.

Color Gamut: Select Color Gamut from the Advanced menu to select a color gamut (range) that may be different from
the default color gamut.

Each setting defines the precise hue of each primary (red, green and blue) and secondary (yellow, cyan and ma­genta) color component used to generate the millions of colors produced in displays. Changing either or both of these
numbers changes the hue of the color and relocates the “triangle” for possible colors. For example, changing the x/y
coordinates for red moves the color closer to either orange or violet, which in turn affects all displayed colors having a
red component.

• Auto automatically chooses the appropriate color gamut:

• SMPTE C for NTSC, 480i and 480p sources.

• EBU for PAL, SECAM, 576i and 576p sources.

• REC709 for all other sources.

• REC709 chooses the REC709 color gamut.

• Select SMPTE-C to choose the SMPTE-C color gamut.

• Select EBU to choose the EBU color gamut.

• Select Native to use REC709 for cyan, magenta, and yellow and uncorrected values for red, green, and blue.

Table 4-3 lists the x- and y-coordinates for each primary and secondary color component.

Adaptive Contrast: Adaptive Contrast enhancement expands the light and dark portions of an output image according
to the mean luminance of the input image.

RGB Adjust: To remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image, choose RGB Adjust from the
Advanced menu and press ENTER. This displays the RGB Adjust sub-menu, shown in Figure 4-9.

Figure 4-9: RGB Adjust Sub-Menu

• Gain: Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to
use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas con­tain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.

• Offset: Use the Offset controls in the RGB Adjust sub-menu to correct color imbalances in the dark areas of the im­age. A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window”
pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.

The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls shift the entire range, resulting
in a change in brightness.

Fine Sync: To fine-tune the position and other image attributes, choose Fine Sync from the Advanced menu and press
ENTER. This displays the Fine Sync sub-menu, shown in Figure 4-10.

Figure 4-10: Fine Sync Sub-Menu

• V Position: This control adjusts the vertical position of the image within the designated image area, up to 25 per cent
of the image height up or down.

• H Position:

• This control adjusts the horizontal position of the image within the designated image area, up to 25 per cent of the
image width left or right.

• Phase (RGB or Component sources): This control adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the in­coming signal. Adjust the phase when an RGB or Component image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking
has been optimized.

For best results, use a good test pattern such as a smooth gray consisting of a clear pattern of black and white
pixels, or a similar “half on, half off” graphic image. Adjust the slidebar until the image stabilizes and each pixel is
clearly defined. You may notice that you can stabilize the image at more than one point. Use either setting in such
cases.

• Tracking (RGB or Component sources): Tracking determines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by
the number of incoming pixels per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.

• Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel tracking.
Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is main­tained and that pixel phase (see above) can be optimized.

• Sync Level (Component sources only): Select Sync Level to adjust the voltage level of the Projector Sync signal de­tection circuitry.

• Sync Level adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below black”
(for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the projector to temporarily
lose sync. If the Sync Level from the source is persistently too low, the projector won’t sync with the source at all.

The range is from 50 to 256 millivolts (mV) inclusive. The default setting is 240 mV and should rarely require
adjustment.

System

Note

Auto Power On:Setting Auto Power On to On causes the projector to automatically power up when AC power is
present. If the projector is plugged into a switched AC outlet, this allows the projector to be turned on using a wall
switch instead of the remote control unit. If you do not need this capability, set Auto Power On to Off (this is the default
setting).

Rear Projection: This control reverses all images and menus, and is necessary when the projector is used in rear-pro­jection applications. The default is Off.

Control

Select Control from the Main Menu to set various options related to control of the projector.

1 Key / 2 Key / 3 Key / 4 Key / 5 Key: These menu items assign the function of the keys numbered 1 through 5 on the
remote.

There are eight sources corresponding to the eight connections to the projector. When you assign a source to a num-

bered key, the projector immediately goes to that source when the key assigned to it is pressed.

If the chosen source is disabled via the Source Enable menu (refer to page 54), this setting has no effect.

Auto Source: This control chooses whether or not to scan for other active sources if the current source is not available.

The default setting is off.

Language

Select Language from the Main Menu to change the OSD Language.

The projector can display the menus in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese,
Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese or Russian.

Press or to select a language. Then, press ENTER to confirm your selection.

Cleaning the fans

The projector uses the filter to keep the fans free of dust and other particles, and should be cleaned every 500 hours of
operation. In dustier environments, it is recommended to clean the filter more frequently. If the filter is dirty or clogged,
your projector may overheat.
