Important Lamp Information

The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted (inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SP-LAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the lamp warranty (and if use of the wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void the projector warranty).

See the safety instructions booklet for important safety information about ceiling mounting this projector.

Getting Ready

Setting Up the Projector

Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure to allow sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. z The following illustrations show how the projector should be oriented for optimum projection

relative to the screen.

Viewed from Above Viewed from the Side

Screen Screen

The center of the projector’s lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen.

z You can place the projector on a surface that is angled up to 30 degrees upwards or

downwards during use. Never locate the projector on a surface that is angled more than 30 degrees, or angled at all to the left or right. Such conditions can cause the lamp to explode or can shorten lamp life, and also creates the risk of malfunction.

z The projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are

projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction (page

14) to correct the image.

Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.

To change the projector elevation angle

1. Lift up the front of the projector and press the

release button.

z This causes the elevation adjustment foot to drop

from the bottom of the projector.

z Be sure to press the release button before trying to

lower the elevation adjustment foot. Pulling on the foot without pressing the release lever can damage the foot.

2. While holding down the release button, raise and

lower the front of the projector until the elevation adjustment foot is approximately the length you need.

3. Release the release button to lock the elevation adjustment foot in its current position.

4. Use the left and right adjustment feet to further fine adjust the elevation angle.

z The left and right adjustment feet are for fine adjustment only. Do not try to rotate them

too far. Doing so can cause an adjustment foot to detach. Tightening an adjustment foot too strongly can cause it to become stuck.

Rotate to adjust horizontal alignment.

z To retract the elevation adjustment foot, hold down the release button and slide the

elevation adjustment foot back into the projector. Never try to forcibly change the elevation adjustment foot position without pressing the release button.

Rear Projection (From the Back of the Screen)

Getting Ready

Turning On the Projector

Before performing any of the operations in this section, make sure you first set up the projector and connect to an output device.

AC Power Cord Precautions

z Use the AC power cord that comes with the projector. z Make sure that you use a power source with the same voltage as that specified for the

projector.

z Do not share the outlet supplying power to the projector with other devices. If you are using

an extension cord, make sure that the ampere rating of the extension cord is compatible with the power consumption value of this projector.

z Never use the power cord while it is still bundled together. z Never place objects on top of the power cord and do not step on it. z Never pull on the power cord. When unplugging it, grasp the plug. z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug

the projector.

To turn on the projector

1. Use the bundled AC power cord to plug

the projector into a power outlet.

z Plugging into a power outlet causes the

three indicators on the top of the projector to light amber. After a short while, two of the indicators will go out and only the POWER/STANDBY indicator will remain lit amber, which indicates the standby state.

z Note that the projector will not turn on if

you press the [ ] (power) key while all three indicators are lit amber. Wait until the projector is in the standby state before trying to turn it on.

Power supply connector

Bundled AC power cord

The shape of the plug depends on your geographical area.

z This product is also designed for IT power distribution system with phase-to-phase voltage

230V.

2. Turn on the computer or video device that is connected to the projector.

3. If the projector’s lens cover is closed, open it.

z Do not try to force the lens cover open past horizontal. Doing so creates the risk of

malfunction.

4. Press the [ ] (power) key.

z This causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to flash green, which indicates that the

projector is warming up.

z After warm up is complete, POWER/STANDBY indicator stops flashing and remains lit

green, and the projector starts projecting an image from the device connected to it.

z A “Language” window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the

procedure under “Specifying the Display Message Language” on the page 11 to configure the language settings.

Getting Ready

z If the Eco Mode is turned on, the LAMP indicator will light green when warm up star ts. z If the projector is hot when you plug the AC power cord into a power outlet, it will go into

a cool down state. The cool down state is indicated by the POWER/STANDBY indicator flashing orange. Note that the projector will not turn on until cool down is complete, even if you press the [ ] (power) key. The projector will turn on and enter the standby state after cool down is complete.

Specifying the Display Message Language

A “Language” window will be projected the first time you turn on the projector. Use the menu on this screen to specify the display language you want to use.

1. Use the cursor [] and [] keys to highlight the

language you want to use.

2. Press the [ENTER] key.

Direct Power On

You can configure the projector so it powers up automatically as soon as you plug it into a power source. With this “Direct Power On” feature, you do not even need to press the [ ] (power) key. To enable Direct Power On, display the Setup Menu, and then change the “Direct Power On” setting to “On”.

English

z When you have Direct Power On enabled, do not leave the projector plugged into an

electrical outlet while it is turned off. If you do, there is the chance that it (and the lamp) might turn on automatically when power is restored after being cut off by a power outage, tripping of a breaker, etc.

z Direct Power On causes the projector to turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged into

a power outlet. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes until you are ready to start projecting. Note, however, that the actual startup sequence (Standby State  Power On  Warm Up  Projection Starts) that the projector performs is the same, regardless of whether Direct Power On is enabled or disabled. The only difference is what triggers the sequence (plugging in or pressing the [ ] (power) key). For details about the startup sequence that the projector performs when you plug it into a power source, see “To turn on the projector” on page 10.

z For details about configuring the Direct Power On setting, see “Direct Power On” under

“Option Settings 1 Main Menu” in the Reference Guide on the CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

Getting Ready

Turning Off the Projector

z When you turn off the projector, the lamp goes out and the projector goes into a cool

down state. Note that you will not be able to turn the projector back on again while it is cooling down.

z The projector may remain quite hot for a while after you turn it off. Take care when moving

the projector or otherwise handling it after use.

z Make sure that the projector is cooled down sufficiently before storing it.

To turn off the projector

1. Press the [ ] (power) key.

z This causes the confirmation message “Do you want to turn off the projector?” to appear

in the center of the projection screen.

z If you do not turn off the projector the confirmation message will disappear automatically

after about 10 seconds. The confirmation message will also disappear if you press [ESC] key.

2. To turn off the projector, press the [ ] (power) key again in response to the

confirmation message.

z This causes the projector lamp to go out and stops projection. z Also the POWER/STANDBY indicator starts to flash amber, which indicates that the

projector is cooling down.

z The projector will not turn back on again while it is cooling down. z After cool down is finished, the POWER/STANDBY indicator on the top of the projector

will light amber, which indicates the standby state. You can now turn the projector back on, if you want.

3. After checking to make sure that the POWER/STANDBY indicator has stopped flashing

amber and remains lit, unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet.

z This causes the POWER/STANDBY indicator to go out.

4. After ensuring that the projector and the connected computer or video device are

turned off, disconnect the connecting cables from the projector and the connected device.

5. Close the lens cover.

Auto Power Off

Auto Power Off automatically turns off the projector whenever there is no input signal, and no operation is performed on the projector for about 30 minutes. When Auto Power Off is triggered, the projector first enters a cool down state, the same as it does when you press the [ ] (power) key to turn it off.

z While Direct Power On (page 11) is enabled, the projector will turn off automatically if no

key operation is performed and no signal input is received within about 10 minutes after it is turned on.

Projector Basics

z For detailed information about projection operations, see the Reference Guide on the

CD-ROM that comes with the projector.

Selecting the Input Source

When you turn on the projector, it first checks the RGB terminal for an input signal and then the VIDEO terminal. When it detects an input signal, it automatically selects it and starts projecting the signal. Whenever you want to manually trigger an input source search operation, press the [INPUT] key.

z When the projector detects an input source (RGB, component, or VIDEO) after an auto or

manual select operation, the name of the newly selected source will appear in the projected image for a few seconds.

z The message “No signal input.” will appear if no input signal can be selected.

Adjusting the Projected Image

To adjust the size of the projected image

Hold down the [ZOOM +] key to increase the size of the image or the [ZOOM –] key to decrease it. When the image is the size you want, release the key.

Projector key operation

Press the [ZOOM] key and then hold down the [] key to increase the size of the image, press the [ZOOM] key and then hold down the [] key to decrease it. When the image is the size you want, release the key.

English

Projector key operation

Press the [FOCUS] key and then hold down the [] or [] key to focus. When focus is the way you want, release the key.

Projector Basics

Auto Adjustment of an RGB Image

When the input source is RGB (computer), the projector automatically adjusts vertical and horizontal positioning, frequency, and phase whenever it detects an RGB signal (following input source selection, power up, etc.). You can also execute an automatic adjustment operation by pressing the [AUTO] key.

z You can turn off auto adjustment when you want to disable auto adjustment and maintain

manual settings.

z The projected image may become distorted while an auto adjustment operation is in

progress.

z If an image is unclear following the auto adjustment operation, you can use the menu to

adjust items manually.

Keystone Correction (KEYSTONE)

When the projector is at an angle to the screen it is projecting on, the projected image may have different length top and bottom edges. This phenomenon is called, “keystoning”. This projector comes with functions for automatic as well as manual keystone correction, which provides a regularly shaped projected image.

z Keystone correction can cause the corrected image to be smaller than the original

(uncorrected) image, or it can cause distortion of the image. If the projected image becomes difficult to view, try moving the screen and/or projector so they are oriented close to the configuration shown under “Setting Up the Projector” on page 7.

z The center of the projector’s lens should be aligned with the horizontal center of the screen

(page 7).

Automatic Keystone Correction

When “On” is selected for the “Option Settings 1  Auto Keystone Correction” setting of the Setup Menu, the projector will detect the vertical orientation of the object in the image and adjust its shape automatically so it appears as a rectangle. The message “Auto Keystone Corrected.” appears in the lower left corner of the projected image when the projector performs auto keystone correction. z The projector’s auto keystone correction range is 0 to +30 degrees. If the surface you are

projecting onto is angled downwards from horizontal, use manual keystone correction to correct the image.

z Auto keystone correction is performed by detecting the elevation angle of the projector. This

means that the surface you are projecting onto needs to be standing straight up. If the surface you are projecting onto is not straight, use manual keystone correction to correct the image.

To use manual keystone correction

1. Press the [KEYSTONE +] or [KEYSTONE –] key.

z This causes the keystone correction screen to appear on the projected image.

2. Use the [KEYSTONE +] and [KEYSTONE –] keys to correct for keystoning.

z Correction can be performed for keystoning within ±30°.

3. To close the setup screen, press the [ESC] key.

Using the Setup Menu

Pressing the [MENU] key while an image is being projected displays the setup menu on the projected image. The setup menu can be used to configure a variety of different projector settings. Use the cursor keys to select and configure settings, and the [ENTER] key to register them.

The menu items that can be set (or displayed) depend on the current input source. In the following table, the “Input Source” columns indicate whether each item appears ( ) or not ( ) for each input source (R = RGB, C = Component, V = Video, – = No input signal). A triangle () indicates that the item can be set (or displayed), subject to certain conditions.

Important!

z Continued use of the projector after dust has accumulated around the intake vents

Caution

can cause overheating of internal components and lead to malfunction.

z Certain operating conditions also can cause dirt and dust to accumulate around the

projector's exhaust vents on the front. If this happens, use the same procedure as that described above to clean the exhaust vents.

Replacing the Lamp

Continued use of a lamp that has passed its lamp life increases the risk of the lamp rupturing. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible after the replacement message appears.

z The light source lamp is a consumable item. The average life of a lamp is approximately

2000 hours. After 2000 hours, a message appears to alert you to the need of lamp replacement. However, note that the characteristics of a particular lamp or lamp operating conditions can cause the lamp to start to go dim or even fail before the message appears.

To check the current lamp use time

Press the [MENU] key to display the setup menu.

Press the [T] key to select the “Operational

Info” main menu.

z The “Lamp Time” sub-menu item shows the

number of hours that the current lamp has been used.

Press the [MENU] key to exit the setup

menu.

When to replace the lamp

The LAMP indicator starts to flash red and the message shown below appears whenever the lamp time exceeds 2000 hours.

It is time to replace the lamp. Use the procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as soon as possible.

When this message appears, replace the lamp as soon as possible using the procedure under “Replacing the Lamp” on page 27.

Note that the above message will disappear about 10 seconds after you turn on the projector, even if you do not replace the lamp.

You will be able to continue using the projector without replacing the lamp until the lamp time reaches 100 hours. At that time, the LAMP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit red, the following message will appear for about 10 seconds, and then the projector will turn off automatically.

The lamp has exceeded its service life! The projector will not turn on until you replace the lamp.

When this message appears, replace the lamp immediately using the procedure under “Replacing the Lamp” on page 27.

Replacing the Lamp

Important!

Caution

Warning

z The lamp originally installed in this projector is model SP-LAMP-035, which is

intended for tabletop (non-inverted) use. Do not use this lamp in ceiling mounted (inverted) applications. For ceiling mount (inverted) application, use lamp model SPLAMP-036 instead, which is specifically designed for that purpose. Use of the wrong lamp will significantly reduce lamp life and void the lamp warranty (and if use of the wrong lamp results in damage to the projector, it will also void the projector warranty).

z You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your retailer or

your dealer.

z During normal use, the lamp and the area around it become extremely hot. Before

replacing the lamp, turn off the projector and wait for the cool down operation (indicated when the POWER/STANDBY indicator is flashing amber) to finish. Next, disconnect the AC power cord from the projector, and wait for at least 60 minutes to allow it to cool down even further. Touching the lamp or the area around it during operation or immediately after turning off the projector creates the risk of serious burn injury.

z Only InFocus lamps are tested and certified for use in this projector. InFocus is not

liable for the performance, safety or certification of any other lamps. The use of other lamps may cause electrical shock and fire and violates the projector warranty and voids all certification marks on this projector.

z See the safety instructions booklet for important safety information about ceiling

mounting this projector.

z A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used as the light source. A lamp that

is weakened by impact, damage, or expiration of its lamp life may explode or fail to light if exposed to loud noise. Note that lamp life differs greatly from lamp to lamp, and is affected by conditions under which the lamp is used.

z Never touch the glass of the lamp with your fingers. Doing so can cause the lamp to

rupture and shorten its life.

z A broken lamp can cause glass fragments to be scattered inside the lamp housing.

Gas inside of the lamp housing may also be discharged from the projector’s vent exhaust ports. Gas inside of the lamp includes mercury, so be sure to ventilate the area whenever the lamp breaks. Should you accidentally inhale gas fumes or should gas fumes get into your eyes, immediately contact a physician.

z Should the lamp break, take care to avoid personal injury on the glass fragments.

Never try to replace a broken lamp on your own. Contact InFocus service (www.infocus.com) to request a replacement.

Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

To replace the lamp

Important!

Lamp cover

Lamp cartridge

When replacing the lamp, use the special screwdriver that comes with the replacement lamp. The projector does not come with a screwdriver.

Turn off the projector and unplug its AC power cord.

Wait for about 60 minutes to allow the projector’s current lamp to cool down

completely.

Turn over the projector and place it on top of a desk or on some other stable

surface.

Loosen the lamp cover screw, and then remove the lamp cover.

Loosen the three screws indicated by an S mark.

Use the lamp cartridge handle to pull the lamp cartridge from the projector.

Caution

Make sure the grooves of the lamp cartridge align with the grooves of the lamp housing.

Insert the new lamp cartridge as far as it will go, as shown in the illustration.

z After inserting the lamp cartridge, lay its handle down in the position shown in the

illustration under step 5 on this page.

Take care to avoid touching the lamp (glass) and the mirrors inside the projector. Doing so can cause the lamp to rupture, shorten lamp life, and otherwise affect lamp performance.

Secure the lamp cartridge with the three screws.

Return the lamp cover to its original position, and secure it with the screw.

z After replacing the lamp, be sure to perform the procedure under “Resetting the Lamp

Time” on page 29.

Resetting the Lamp Time

The lamp time reset operation you need to perform depends on when you replace the lamp.

It is time to replace the lamp. Use the procedure in the User’s Guide to replace the lamp as soon as possible.

If you replace the lamp when the above message appears, use the procedure under “To reset the lamp time”.

The lamp has exceeded its service life! The projector will not turn on until you replace the lamp.

Important!

Connecting to a Component Video Output Device

Some video devices are equipped with a component video output terminal. You can use an optionally available VESA to component video adapter (SP-VESA-ADPT-R) and a component video cable to connect the RGB input terminal of the projector to the component video output terminal of a video device.

Always turn off the projector and the video device before connecting them.

z Component video output terminals come in 3-terminal sets: Y·Cb·Cr or Y·Pb·Pr. Be sure to

match the colors of the plugs on the optional adapter with the colors of the terminals (Green: Y; Blue: Cb/Pb; Red: Cr/Pr).

z Note that connection only to an analog component video output terminal is supported.

Connection to a digital output terminal is not supported.

Full-screen Display of an RGB Image

800 × 600

1024

768

The projector outputs images using XGA (1024 pixels × 768 pixels) video resolution. When the input signal from the computer connected to the projector is not an XGA signal, “Resize Image To Fit” automatically enlarges or reduces the image so it matches the projector’s video resolution and fills the entire screen. The following shows how different input signals from a computer are adjusted during projection.

Input Signal Example Projected Image

1280

1024

When the input signal has a resolution of 1280 × 1024 (aspect ratio: 5:4), the original image is compressed so it conforms to the projection resolution of 1024 × 768 (aspect ratio: 4:3). Because of this, the projected image may appear slightly wider horizontally than the original image.

Reattaching the Lens Cover

Press here with a pen or similarly pointed object as you slide the cover into place.

Use the following procedure to replace the lens cover if it should accidentally become detached from the projector.

Insert the nub () of the left tab of the lens cover into the depression () of the
