Compatible Video Formats

The projector supports NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
international video standards, as well as the monitor display
formats listed below.

To project images output from a computer, the computer’s
video card must be set at a refresh rate (vertical frequency)
that’s compatible with the projector; see the following table
for compatible formats. As noted below, some images are
automatically resized to display in one of the projector’s
“native” formats (such as XGA). In addition, the frequencies
of some computers may not allow images to display correctly;
see your computer’s documentation for details.

Projector Placement Guidelines

❏ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between

3.6 and 45.5 feet from the screen.

❏ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and

under the projector.

❏ Make sure the projector is within 6 feet of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of your
computer and/or video source.

❏ Place the projector directly in front of the center of the

screen, facing it toward the screen squarely. Otherwise, your
image will not be square.

native formats (PowerLite 503c only).

Use the figure below as a guideline to help you determine how
far from the screen to place the projector. Image size generally
increases with distance, but may vary depending on how you
position the lens ring and whether you have adjusted the
image size with other settings.

3.6 to 4.3 ft7 to 9 ft38 to 45 ft distance from
screen

If you place the projector below the level of the screen, you’ll
have to tilt it up by extending the feet as shown. Tilting the
projector upward causes the image to lose its square shape, but
you can correct the distortion by pressing the

Keystone

button as described on page 5.

Turning On the Projector

Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:

1. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power
inlet.

2. Connect the other end to a grounded electrical outlet.

The power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet
turned on.

3. Use the tab on the lens ring to rotate the ring and extend the
lens.

ideal
height

If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be square and you won’t have to adjust it. If
you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen,
the image will still be square, but you won’t be able to fill the
whole screen with the image.

Starting Up the Projector

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below, followed by any equipment you’ve connected to it. You
can turn on your computer and video equipment in any order,
but if you have both a computer and video source connected,
you may have to switch to the desired source as described on
page 4.
