Compatible Video Formats

The projector supports the NTSC, HDTV, 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. Some images are automatically resized to display in the projector’s native format. 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

3 and 42 feet from the screen.

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

under the projector.

❏ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded

electrical outlet or extension cord and within 5 feet of the image source.

❏ Face the projector squarely toward the screen.

The projector supports 5 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 Setting menu after you turn

it on.

Table

Convenient for temporary front projection

Shelf

Perfect for temporary or permanent installation. Attach the rubber feet and place the projector upsidedown. Choose Front/Ceiling for the Projection option.

If the projector is tilted in the front or the back, you may need to adjust its shape. See page 9.

Image Size and Projection Distance

The distance between the projector and the screen determines the basic size of the projected image, as shown below. Because other adjustments—such as those made with the zoom ring,

Aspect button, and Keystone button—also affect the size of the

image, the numbers in the table should be considered for general guidelines, not exact measurements.

Turning Off the Projector

When you’re ready to shut down the projector, follow these steps:

1. Turn off any video or computer sources connected to the projector first.

2. Press the

Power button on the projector or remote control

to turn off the projector.

You see a confirmation message:

Power OFF? Please press key again

to power off.

If you don’t want to turn it off, press any button or ignore the message. (It disappears in about 7 seconds.)

3. Press the

Power button again. The lamp is turned off and

the P power light flashes red for about 90 seconds and then changes to flashing orange. The light continues flashing orange until the projector cools down. When the projector has cooled, the power light stays orange and the exhaust fan shuts off.

4. If you want to turn the projector on again, wait until the light stops flashing red. Then press the

Power button.

5. If you will not be using the projector for an extended period of time, make sure the power light is orange, then turn off the main switch on the back of the projector.

6. Replace the lens cover.

The P power light flashes green as the projector warms up, and the projection lamp comes on in about 15 seconds. The power light stays green, and you may see a blue screen with the

No Signal message displayed. This is normal.

6. Press the

Play button on your video source to start your

video (if necessary).

7. If you’ve connected more than one video and/or computer source, you may need to select a different source. Press the

Source button on the projector or one of the Input buttons

on the remote control. (See “Switching Between Picture Sources” on page 8 for more information.)

If you’re projecting from a computer and you see a New Hardware Wizard message saying that it has found a plugand-play monitor, click

Cancel.

If the image is upside-down or reversed, you need to change the

Projection option in the Setting menu. See the

User’s Guide for more information.

If a projected image fails to appear, see “What To Do If You See a Blank Screen” below for help.

Once you see your image, see page 8 for instructions on focusing and making other image adjustments.

What To Do If You See a Blank Screen

If you see a blank screen or a blue screen with the

No Signal

message after turning on your computer or video source, try the following:

❏ Make sure the lens cover is off. ❏ Check to see if the main power switch at the back of the

projector is turned on.

❏ Make sure the power light is green and not flashing. If the

P power light is orange, press the

Power button on the

projector or the remote control.

❏ Make sure the cables are connected correctly, as described on

the Quick Setup sheet (or the User’s Guide for connecting a computer).

❏ If blank mode is active, press the

Blank button on the remote

control to resume projection.

❏ Select a different source (if more than one is connected to

the projector) by pressing one of the remote control ( or the
