•
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

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-

buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right
1
order (page 13).
If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image
2
(page 15), adjust the height of the projector (page 15) or center
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position
(page 29). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the
screen.

Using the Remote Control
To control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote or
keypad, you must connect either the USB connector on the M1
computer cable to the computer (see page 9) or a type B USB
mouse cable to your computer and the projector (see page 8). The
type B USB mouse is not supported on the Macintosh platform.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the top of
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If
you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the
screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the
rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a full-feature remote (see page 19 for a
description of the buttons) which includes a laser pointer. The
remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top
of the remote and one on the bottom (Figure 14).
NOTE: If you can’t aim the
remote control at the projector so
that its signal is received
example, when using rear projec-
tion or in a large auditorium
connect it directly to the projector
with the optional remote control
cable.

Reposition the image using the software. Refer to “Horizontal
position” on page 29 and “Vertical position” on page 29.
•
Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
•

through page 11 for connection procedures.
•
Verify that the proper input source is connected and active. See
“Source (keypad only) or Comp and Video (remote only)” on
page 21.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting
•
You might need to turn everything off and power up the
equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.
•
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See
the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 46 or
your computer’s manual for details.
•
Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con-
figured correctly.
•
Make sure your computer has a compatible video board. The
projector isn’t CGA, EGA or SXGA compatible.
If you’re using Windows 98:
Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and
1
then the Display icon.
Click the Settings tab.
2
Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1280x1024 or less.
3
Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen
•
Adjust the zoom or projector placement.
•
Adjust the resolution of your video card if it’s greater than
1280x1024.
Problem: Image is out of focus
•
Turn the projection lens to focus the image.
•
Make sure the projection screen is at least 3.3 feet (1 m) from
the projector.
•
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right
•
Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Turn Rear Projec-
tion off in the Controls menu. The image should immediately
return to forward projection. See “Rear Projection” on
page 31.
40
Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or
spots
•
Adjust the brightness. See “Brightness” on page 23.
•
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: no sound
•
Adjust volume.
•
Verify audio/input connections. Make sure you have selected
the proper audio source. See “Audio Source Select” on
page 26.
•
Adjust audio source.
Problem: Image is “noisy” or streaked
Try these steps in this order.
Deactivate the screen saver on your computer.

off and adjust the synchronization and tracking manually to find an optimal setting. See “Manual Sync”
on page 28 and “Manual Tracking” on page 28.
•
The problem could be with your computer’s video card. If
possible, connect a different computer.
Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video
player’s colors
•
Just as there are differences in the displays of different moni-
tors, there are often differences between the computer image
and the projected image. Adjust the brightness, tint and/or
contrast from the Display menu. See “Brightness” on page 23,
“Tint” on page 23 and “Contrast” on page 23.
Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer
•
The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for
a long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the
Projection Lamp” on page 35.
41
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Problem: Lamp shuts off
•
A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Unplug
the projector, wait at least a minute, then plug it back in.
•
Make sure the vents are not blocked.

Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Activation commands for some laptop computers are listed in the following
table. (If your computer is not listed or the given command does
not work, refer to the computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On many laptops, the activation function key
is labeled with an icon, for example or the text CRT/LCD.
* These manufacturers have models that automatically send video
to the external CRT port when some type of display device is
attached.
** These manufacturers offer more than one key command depend-
ing on the computer model.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When
video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
1
Set the number of colors you want.
2
Open the Control Strip, then click on the monitor icon.
3
Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
4
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as
slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black
and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
Turn off video mirroring.
1
Open the Monitors control panel.
2
Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
3
the primary monitor.
Restart the PowerBook.
4
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor
or projector differently than previous ones. When using
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that
appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
1
Sound.
In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
2
OK.
If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
3
Click OK to confirm the change.

Volume (VOL?)(0-80, 0)
Lamp hours(LMP?)(0-9999, 421)
A write request example: (AAA####) where
(starts the command
AAAdenotes the command
####denotes the value to be written
(leading zeros not necessary)
NOTE: To assure the projector
can process a command, wait 3
seconds before entering the next
command.
)ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a
number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a “?” is returned. With
absolute settings, “0” is off, 1-2147483647 is on. The one exception
is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.
