You can connect the projector to both an S-Video and a composite
video source at the same time. However, the projector automatically
selects the S-Video as the video source. To display composite video,
first disconnect the S-Video source.
The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video formats, and
automatically detects and identifies the video format. However, you
can specify that a single broadcast format be detected. (See Chapter 3.)
Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of
video signal.
Th teype of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector
depends on whether you have composite video or S-Video. For
composite video, use the audio/visual (A/V) cable supplied with the
projector. For S-Video, use the S-Video cable supplied with your video
device or obtain one from your computer dealer.
1 l Installation
To connect a video source to the projector:
1.
Turn off the projector and video source if they are on.
2.
If your video source uses a small, round, one-prong composite
(RCA) video connectors, you’ll need the audio/visual cable that
comes with the PowerLite 5000. If your video source uses a large,
round, four-prong S-video connector, you will need to purchase
an S-video cable.
For composite video, connect the yellow RCA plug on one end of
3.
the audio/visual cable to the projector’s Video In jack. Connect
the other yellow RCA plug to the video-out jack of your video
source.
4.
Connect the other plugs on the audio/visual cable to the Audio In
jacks of the projector: insert the white plug into the L Audio In
jack and the red plug into the R Audio In jack. Connect the plug
at the other end of the audio/visual cable to the audio output jacks
of the video source.
Connecting to a Computer
5.For S-video, insert one end of the S-video cable into the
projector’s S-video jack. Insert the other end into the S-video-out
jack of your video source.
Connecting to an External Speaker or
PA System
Although the projector’s internal speakers are enough for most smallor medium-size rooms, you can connect the projector to an external
speaker or public address (PA) y ts s em for large rooms or to gain
maximum benefit from the projector’s built-in Spatializer function.
To connect the projector to an external sound system, you need to
obtain an RCA-to-3.5 mm stereo audio cable. You can get one from
your computer dealer.
1.
Turn off the projector and speaker or PA system if they are on.
1 l Installation
2.Connect the cable’s 3.5 mm stereo miniplug to the projector’s

warning: Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage
your eyes. It is especially important that children not look into the lens.
Turning the Equipment On and Off
Sleep Mode
When you want to stop projecting images, press the Power button
again. The fan remains on, the projection lamp indicator flashes
orange for about 60 seconds, and the power indicator changes to
orange as the projector cools off.
When the projector has cooled off, flashing stops and the power
indicator changes to orange.
Note: If you press the Power button to turn the projector back on while the
power indicator is orange, there may be a delay before a projected image
appears.
Sleep mode conserves electricity by automatically turning off the lamp
after the projector has not been used for 30 minutes. In sleep mode,
the projector’s power indicator is orange and only a minimum amount
of the projector’s circuitry remains on. This conserves electricity, cools
the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. When the projector is
in sleep mode, you can press the Power button to start projecting
images, or you can unplug the projector’s power cord.

Maintenance
T he PowerLite 5000 projector needs little maintenance. You should
keep the lens clean because any dirt or smears appear on the screen.
You also need to periodically clean the air filter at the bottom of the
projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the
projector and keep it from overheating.
The only parts you should replace are the lamp and air filter. If any
other part needs replacing, contact your PowerLite 5000 dealer or a
qualified service person.
+
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn off the projector
and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except
the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector
can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself: except as
specifically explained in this owner`s Manual. Refer all other servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the Lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Lightly
wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove dirt or
smears on the lens, moisten a soft cloth with an alcohol-based cleaner
and gently wipe the lens surface.
Cleaning the Projector Case
To clean the projector case, first unplug the power cord. To remove
dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. To remove
stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral
detergent. Then wipe the case.
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents.
These can cause the case to warp.
