Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of
your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between
the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general
guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a

right angle to the screen. The

projector must be at least 4.9’ (1.5m) from the projection screen.

• Position the projector within 10’ (3m) of your power source and within
6’ (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables).
To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6”
(.15m) of a wall or other object.

• Position the projector to the desired distance from the screen. The
distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting,
and the video format determine the size of the projected image.

• If the image is square but not centered on the screen or viewing area,
adjust it by using the lens shift dials. Use the Horizontal dial to shift the
lens left or right. Use the Vertical dial to shift the lens up or down.

NOTE: As the lens is shifted away from the lens centerline, the
horizontal shift range is reduced. To adjust lens shift efficiently we
suggest you follow these steps:

1 Use vertical lens shift to move the image closer to the lens centerline

than the final vertical position.

2 Use horizontal lens shift to determine the center horizontal position,

then move image to the center horizontal position.

3 Use vertical lens shift to move the image away from the lens centerline

to the final vertical position.

4 Use horizontal lens shift to move the image to the final horizontal

position.

5 If lens shift is unable to move the image far enough, move the projector

(preferable) or tilt the projector and then use vertical and horizontal

keystone to re-position the image.

• The vertical image offset range is 105%~1

30% for the SP8602 (default
for is 105%). The default horizontal image offset is +/-15%, however at
maximum vertical image offset, there is no horizontal lens shift.

Ceiling Mount

If you wish to install the projector on the ceiling:

• The projector must be installed by a qualified professional in order to
ensure proper operation and reduce the risk of hazards or injury. It is
not recommended you install the projector yourself.

• We strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for
proper fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation
guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n SP-CEIL­INSTALL) for more information. The warranty does not cover any
damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by
installing in an improper location.

• The ceiling must be strong enough to support the projector and the
i

nstallation must be in accordance with any local building codes.

Consult your dealer for more information.

• Maximum supported physical pitch is +/-8º.

• Maximum supported physical horizontal roll

is +/-8º.

• Keep all adjacent surfaces 3” (76mm)

from sides, front and rear and
.87” (22mm) from the bottom of projector to preserve required airflow
around the projector.

Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders,
digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the
projector.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
Yo

u cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a
cable or satellite company; the signal must pass through a tuner first.
Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders,
and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is
considered a tuner.

Although the aspect ratio is automatically selected by the projector based on
the signal input, you can change the aspect ratio, if desired. The projector’s
Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or
through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu. See page 27 for more
information.

Video device connections

You can order cables from InFocus or use your own.

Composite video connection

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video out
connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the
yellow Composite connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that video output from compos

ite connections is not as high

quality as S-video.

HDMI 1.3 connection

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.
HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD
players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the
video out connector on the video device and into either the HDMI 1 or HDMI
2 connector on the projector.

To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3­com

patible source.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S­video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-
video connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that S-video delivers highe

r quality video output than

composite.

VGA connection

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This
connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the
computer cable into the VGA connector on the projector.

Component video connection

Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the
component cable into the Component 1, Component 2 or Component 3
connectors.

In addition, a Component to VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with
the

VGA connectors. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug
the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter
into the VGA connector.

Component offers the highest quality analog video output.
