Safety precautions

WARNING! Read and observe these precautions and all others in this manual to reduce the risk of injury and equipment damage.

•Do not look directly into the lens when the lamp is on.

•Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not use it near water.

•Keep paper, plastic, and combustible material at least 0.5 m (2 ft) away from the projector lens and exhaust vents.

•Do not allow liquid, food, or small objects to get inside the projector. If material gets inside the projector, contact HP for assistance.

•Do not put anything on top of the projector. Do not place any liquids where they might spill on the projector.

•Do not block any vents on the projector. Do not place the projector near any source of heat, such as a radiator or amplifier.

•Use only an approved power cord rated for the voltage and current marked on the product label. Do not overload any outlet or extension cord. Do not circumvent the grounding prong on the power cord.

•Route all cables so they are not located where people can step on them or trip on them.

•Place the projector flat on its base on a sturdy surface or on an HP ceiling mount. Do not stand the projector on its front surface.

•Do not touch the lens with your fingers. See “Cleaning the projector lens” on page 43. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the projector case.

If you do not want to use the distance table, you can use the following equations to help determine where to install the projector relative to the screen.

Calculating projection distances

distance from lens to screen = A × width of screen minimum and maximum distance from screen = B

width of screen = 0.8 × diagonal of screen (for 3:4 screen)

projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen)

vp6310 series

A = 1.7 to 2.0

B = 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) C = 0.11 to 0.41

vp6320 series

A = 1.8 to 2.1

B = 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) C = 0.11 to 0.43

18 Setting Up

Connecting power

1.Place the projector on a stable platform located 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) in front of the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen.

2.Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector 1 and the other end to a grounded electrical outlet 2.

3.Turn on the main disconnect switch 3 on the back of the projector.

If you want to permanently install the projector on the ceiling or behind the screen, see “Installing the projector” on page 49.

Setting up the projector 19

Connecting a computer

Requires:

•VGA cable 1

•USB cable 2 (optional)

•Audio cable, mini-phone 3 (optional)

The optional USB connection allows you to use the mouse and page up/down features on the remote control.

See “Showing a computer screen” on page 31.

TIP: If the computer display does not appear on the projector, you might have to press a combination of keys on the computer to turn on the computer’s VGA output. For example, on some computers you must press FN+F4 or FN+F5. For instructions, refer to the user documentation provided with your computer.

TIP: You can connect an external computer monitor to the VGA-out port on the projector. The monitor displays the signal connected to the VGA-in port—even if the projector is turned off or showing a different input.

20 Setting Up

Connecting a handheld organizer

Not all handhelds come with VGA-out ports. For example, an iPAQ Pocket PC may require a VGA-out PC Card with 15-pin connector. If necessary, install a VGA-out accessory card into the organizer.

Requires:

•VGA cable 1

•VGA-out accessory card 2 (in some cases)

Setting up the projector 21

Connecting a video source

Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect the device to the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture quality. This list shows video connections in order with highest picture quality at the top:

•DVI connection (highest quality)

•Component-video connection

•S-video connection

•Composite-video connection

The video and audio cables shown in the following sections are available from HP.

If you want to connect a SCART video device to the projector, you will need a SCART adapter (available from HP).

Connecting a DVI source

The DVI port is available only on certain models. It supports only DVI digital sources.

Examples: Cable boxes, satellite receivers, and some computers

Requires:

•DVI-D cable 1
