INTRODUCTION
®
The InFocus
LP925™ XGA multimedia projector is specifically
designed for fixed installations. The projector features an M1-DA
connector for easy, built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity.
It allows four computer, three video, and three audio inputs, one
audio output, and RS-232 control.
Image Resolution
The native resolution of the LP925’s projected image is XGA
1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024
are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress
screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen
resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution
before you connect the projector.
Compatibility
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and
video devices, including:
•
IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024
resolution.
•
Apple® Macintosh® and PowerBook® computers up to
1280x1024 resolution.
•
Most standard VCRs, DVD players, HDTV sources, camcorders and laser disc players.
•
Selected workstations (contact your dealer for details).
NOTE: The LP925 automatically
expands 640x480 and 800x600
images to 1024x768. You can dis-
play these images at their native
resolutions by turning off the Auto
Resize feature. See “Resize” on
page 27 for more information.

•
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
•
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
•
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach
room temperature before use.
•
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 44.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
Place the projector on a flat surface.
1
•
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
•
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection”
on page 31 to reverse the image.
•
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for
more information. To turn the image upside down, see
“Ceiling Projection” on page 31. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 44.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
2
•
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and
minimum and maximum distances to the screen.
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69

Connecting a Computer with an RS-232 Cable
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel by connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector (see Figure 4 on page 7).
See “RS232 Terminal Specifications” on page 53 for details.
Connecting a Video Player
There are 3 video inputs: Composite video, S-video, and Component video. For Composite and S-video, follow these instructions:
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
1
connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with
the projector.
•
If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the A/V
cable. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional
Accessories” on page 44.)
NOTE: HDTV sources are
connected to the projector using
the computer inputs, not the video
inputs. All analog computer inputs
can display HDTV. See the
previous pages for computer
connection instructions.
Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out”
2
connector on your video player (Figure 7). This connector
may be labeled “To Monitor.”
•
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video
out” connector on the video player (Figure 8).
Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-

The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for
the incoming video. The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M,
PAL-N and PAL-60 video cannot be automatically detected,
therefore they must be chosen manually. See “Video Standard” on
page 30 for details.
Connecting a Video Player using BNC Cables
Connect the BNC cables and audio cables to the appropriate connectors on the projector (Figure 4 on page 7) and on your video
player.
This input is designated Component Video.
CAUTION: Your video player
may also have a “Video Out” con-
nector for a coaxial cable connec-
tion. DO NOT use this to connect
to the projector.
