IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please follow carefully the warnings listed below, to ensure safe
and long term performance of your projector.
••
• Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal voltage
••
within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, earthed
(Fig. 1)
.
DVI
••
• Do not switch on your projector when flammable liquids or
••
fumes are present. Do not pour or drop fluids in the vents.
••
• Do not use the projector when the room temperature is above
••
35°C (95°F).
••
• Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets on the top cover, or the
••
air outlets underneath the projector.
••
• Do not switch on the projector if it is standing on soft surfaces
••
such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and carpets:
the air cooling outlets underneath could become obstructed.
••
• Do not switch-on the projector if it is standing on surfaces
••
sensitive to heat, as this may result in damage caused by the
hot air outlets underneath. Should this be unavoidable take
extra precaution of protecting the surfaces with a layer of
heat resistant material.

••
• The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when
••
installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily
accessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket.
If the system is unlikely to be used for a number of days,
disconnect the power cable and other apparatus connected
to it.
••
• To save energy, switch off the projector by using the power
••
switch at the rear; when in stand-by (red light on) the projector
continues to draw a minimal amount of power.
••
• Only replace the safety fuse (on the power socket at the rear
••
of projector) with a fuse identical in type and characteristics
(T 3.15A H)

••
Intense Light Source! Do not stare directly into the projection
•
••
lens as possible eye damage could result. Be especially careful
that children do not stare directly into the beam.
••
•
Do not open the projector’s cover; no user serviceable parts
••
are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Opening the projector’s cover will invalidate warranty
••
• Take care not to shake the projector whilst carrying it by the
••
.
handle.
••
• Always position the projector away from direct heat sources.
••
••
• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.
••
••
• The projector must be positioned on a stable, suitable platform
••
or be installed using a bracket for fixed ceiling or wall
installation. Do not rest the projector on the side panels or on
the rear panel when in operation.
••
• Take care to position cables safely, especially in dark places,
••
in order to avoid a trip hazard.
••
• For installations using a ceiling or wall-mounted bracket,
••
carefully follow the installation and safety instructions provided
with the bracket’s literature.
••
• Please remove batteries from the remote control if not in use
••
for a long period of time.

••
• A special EVC socket on the projector’s rear panel will allow
••
connection to the optional Remote Input Interface (a special
cable is required).
This is not to be confused with a VESA “Plug & Display”.
Never connect a computer to this socket, as the projector

2 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the FDP-DLPHD10,
a Faroudja product
(Fig. 4)
.

To unpack the projector safely and easily please follow steps 1
to 4, as per drawing
It is recommended that the carton and packaging is retained for
future use and in the unlikely event that your projector needs to
be returned for repair.
A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight
performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior uniformity and edge-to-edge definition.
A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so called
“rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better colorimetry
and a lower black level to the image.
(Fig. 3).
Fig. 4
The FDP-DLPHD10 incorporates patented Faroudja technology
for deinterlacing, color and detail processing, including DCDi
technology. The result is that all sources are converted to very
clean video signals full of detail and color while free of typical
artifacts such as stairstepping and motion breakup.
Using the very latest in DLP™ technology, this projector has
been designed specifically for high quality “Home Cinema”
applications.
Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs
enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital satellite
receivers and personal computers etc.
The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to
be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like
installation

The new HD-2 DMD™ chip ensures, on top of the high definition resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), an increased contrast ratio
of > 1800:1 thus delivering on the screen an even more realistic
image.
The DVI-D input allows a complete digital connectivity to an increasing amount of video sources equipped with digital outputs,
thus guaranteeing a perfect reproduction, without any loss of
information or interference in the signal.
The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans –
ensures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability.
To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the use
of a good quality screen and surround-sound system. Contact
your nearest authorized Faroudja dealer for further details.

3 INSTALLATION
Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise
the optional bracket for a fixed ceiling or wall installation.
CAUTION: In the case of ceiling or wall mounting using a
suspension bracket, follow the instructions carefully and
comply with the safety standards you will find in the box
together with the bracket. If you use a bracket different to
the one supplied by Faroudja, you must make sure that the
projector is at least 65 mm (2-9/16 inch) from the ceiling
and that the bracket is not obstructing the air vents on the
lid and on the bottom of the projector.
Adjust the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up
the base of the projected image to the base of the projection

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen: the
size of the projected image is determined by the distance from
the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting. See
“Appendix B”: Projection distances” for more information.
Use the motorised lens zoom to adjust the image size and the
motorised lens focus to achieve maximum clarity. With optimum
focus you should be able to clearly see each single pixel when

In the event you are unable to centre the image within the screen
area, tilt the projector until the image is correctly positioned.
Any keystone error can be removed by the Keystone adjustment
in the Set up menu
(Fig. 9)
.
To activate an electric motorised screen a 12 Volt output is
provided at the rear of the projector or with the optional Remote
Input Interface. This can be connected to a screen interface
unit, which can be supplied by screen manufacturers
(Fig. 11)
Fig. 11
The output is activated (Voltage: 12 Vdc) when the projector is
switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the
projector is in stand-by mode.

For rear projection the screen must be translucent.
For front projection, we recommend the use of screens with low
gain specifications (i.e. 1.3 to 2). The use of high gain screens
should be avoided due to their limited viewing angle, which is
undesirable for a large audience.
Preferably, use a screen with black, non-reflecting borders, which
will perfectly frame the projected image.
Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as
this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected
image. For the true cinema experience best results are achieved
with little or no ambient light.

Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as
light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to

interfere with the screen’s characteristics.
