Compatible Computer Display Formats

To project images from a computer, set the computer’s video card at a refresh rate (vertical frequency) compatible with the projector; see the following table for compatible formats. Some images are automatically resized to display in the projector’s “native” format (XGA). The frequencies of some computers may not allow images to display correctly; see your computer’s documentation for details.

Positioning the Projector

Follow these guidelines to get the best results when projecting:

Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface, between 2.8 and 35.4 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 (1.8 meters) of a grounded electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of the image source.

Face the projector squarely toward the screen.

The projector supports 4 viewing setups, as shown below. If it is installed in a rear or overhead position, you need to select the correct projection option from the Extended menu after you turn it on.

Table

Convenient for temporary front projection. Choose Front from the menu.

Front/Ceiling

Professional installation recommended. Choose Front/Ceiling from the menu.

Rear

For permanent installation behind a translucent screen. Choose Rear from the menu.

Rear/Ceiling

Professional installation behind a translucent screen recommended. Choose Rear/Ceiling from the menu.

If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need to adjust the image shape; see page 7.

Image Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. The diagram shows approximately how big your image will be, based on where you set up the projector. Because other adjustments— such as those made with the Resize and keystone buttons—also affect the size of the image, the numbers shown in the illustration should be considered as general guidelines, not exact measurements.

Distance from projector to screen (ft.)

29.5(Wide)–35.4(Tele) ft.

(in.)

19.6–23.6

9.8–11.7

7.8–9.4

5.8–7.0

4.8–5.8

3.8–4.6

2.8–3.4

Use the formulas given below to either find out how large your image will be when you know the distance from the projector to the screen, or to find out how far from the screen to place the projector when you want an image of a certain size. Since the size of the image can be changed by rotating the zoom ring, formulas are given for both the minimum and maximum sizes.

To determine the diagonal size (inches) of an image when you know the projection distance (feet):

Wide: Maximum diagonal size (inches) = 10.126246 × distance (feet) + 1.166113

Tele: Maximum diagonal size (inches) = 8.443213 × distance (feet) + 0.916898

To determine the projection distance (feet) when you know the diagonal size (inches) of the screen image:

Wide: Maximum projection distance (feet) = 0.09875 × diagonal size (inches) - 0.11516

Tele: Maximum projection distance (feet) = 0.11844 × diagonal size (inches) - 0.1086

Turning On the Projector

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described below.

If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first, or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have to select the image source manually. See “Selecting the Image Source” on page 6.

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

1.Remove the lens cap.

Caution:

Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat generated by the lamp can damage the cap.

2.Connect one end of the power cord to the projector’s power inlet. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet.

The Power light on top of the projector turns orange.

3.Turn on your computer or video source if they are not on already.

4.Press the P Power button on top of the projector or on the remote control.

The projector beeps once and the Power light flashes green as the projector warms up, then an image begins to appear. When the Power light stops flashing and remains green, the projector is ready for use.

Warning:

Never look into the lens when the lamp is on. This can damage your eyes, and is especially dangerous for children.

If you’ve connected a Windows®-based computer to the projector, you may see a message that your computer has found a plug-and-play monitor; if so, click Cancel.

If you don’t see the image you want, press the Source Search button on the projector or the Search button on the remote control until you see the image you want to project. Then press the Play button on your DVD player or other device.

If you are prompted to enter a password, see the

User’s Guide.

Note:

You can also use the Source buttons on the remote control to switch between devices connected to the ports identified on each button.

If a projected image fails to appear, see “You Can’t Project an Image” below.

When you’re done projecting, turn off the projector as described on page 6. Shutting down the projector correctly prevents premature lamp failure and possible damage from overheating.

You Can’t Project an Image

If you don’t see the image you are trying to project, try the following:

Make sure the cables are connected correctly.

Make sure the Power light is green and not flashing and the lens cap is off.

If you’ve connected more than one computer and/or video source, you may need to press the Source Search button on the projector’s control panel or the Search button on the remote control to select the correct source. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after pressing the button.)

If you’re using a notebook PC, see the next section.

The Projector and Notebook Don’t

Display the Same Image

If you’re projecting from a notebook, and you can’t see your image on the projection screen and on your notebook at the same time, follow these guidelines.

If you’re using a notebook PC with Windows:

On most notebooks, there’s a function key that lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. It may be labeled CRT/LCD or

have an icon such as . You may have to hold down the Fn key while pressing it. Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after changing the setting.

If the function key doesn’t permit you to display simultaneously on both screens, you should check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled.

From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external Monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. See your computer’s documentation or online help for details.

If you’re using a Macintosh® with OS X:

You may need to set up your notebook to display on the projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Follow these steps:

1.From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click Displays.

2.Select VGA Display or Color LCD, click Arrange or Arrangement, and make sure Mirror Displays is checked.

If you’re using a Macintosh with OS 8.6 to 9.x:

You may need to set up your notebook to display on the projector screen as well as the LCD screen. Follow these steps:

1.From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then click

Monitors or Monitors and Sound.

2.Click the Arrange icon.

3.Drag one monitor icon on top of the other.

If the Arrange option isn’t available, try selecting one of the Simulscan resolution settings. Click the Monitor icon, if necessary, and then select a Simulscan resolution. (Allow a few seconds for the projector to sync up after making the selection.)
