Dont Look Into The Lens!

Be extremely careful not to look directly into the lens when the projector is on. The bright
light can harm your eyes. Be especially careful to keep children from looking into the lens.

Dont Disassemble

Do not open the project or’s case! Doing so exposes you to a n el ec tri c shock hazard.
Except for the pro jection lamp, the r e a re no user-serviceable parts. All service must be
performed by an In Focus Authorized Service Provider.

Av oid Hot Surfaces

The inside of the projector lamp housing can be very hot. Allow the projector to cool for at
least 2 minutes before opening the lamp door to replace the lamp. Use extreme care. Avoid
touching the hot surfaces in side.

Use Only The 720/730 Po wer Cord

Always use the power cord that came with the projector. Although other cords might look
the same, they have not been safety-tested with the 720 or 730. Never use the power cord
if it’s damaged or frayed. When you disc onnect the projector, always remove the power
cord from the elect rical outlet first, then from the projecto r.

Dont Defeat The Purpose Of The Grounding Plug

The projector is grounded through the grounding conducto r on the power cord. To avoid
electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle.

A v o idL iquid Spills

Don’t set drinks on top of the pro je ctor. Spilled liquids can flow inside causing dam age.

Dont Block Ventilation

Openings in the case provide ventilation to pr ote ct the projector from overheating. Keep
loose papers and other objects away from the grills. Don’t place the projector on top of or
close to a computer or other heat-producing equipment.

USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad buttons and
the options available from the on-screen menus.

NO TE: In Focus has created a
software program called In Focus
Presents that automatically opti­mizes your computer’s display
when used with any In Focus pro­jector. This free program is
included with every projector and
available for download from our
website at www.infocus.com.

Basic Image Adjustment

1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right

order (page 21).

2 If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and

tilt of the projector (page 25), zoom the image (page 25), or
center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical posi­tion (page 36).

3 If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 25).
4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blu r ry vert ical

bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image
(page 35) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjust the sync
(page 36) and/or the tracking (page 36) manually.

5 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 27)

and tint (page 31).

Using the Remote Control

NO TE: If you can’t aim the
remote control at the projector so
that its signal is received

— for

example, when using rear projec­tion

— purchase the optional

Smart Remote and connect it
directly to the projector with the
optional remote control cable.

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or
rear of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about
40 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 40 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the
front or the rear of the projector.

The projector ships with a two-button remote. (A full-feature
Smart Remote with all the same buttons as th e ke ypad is avail­able separately; see “Accessories” on page 54.) The remote has a
disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote
and one on the bottom.

Replacing the Projection Lamp

WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 2 minutes before you open
the lamp module door. Never
extract the lamp module while the
lamp is operating.

The lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus
counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. After 2000

hours of use, the lamp monitor LED, m arked on the top of the
projector near the keypad, lights. After 2050 hours, the lamp
switches off completely and must be replaced. You can order new
lamp modules from your In Focus dealer. See “Accessories” on
page 53 for information.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 2 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.
3 Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver , r emove the screw on the

outside of the lamp door (Figure 34).

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you’re experiencing trouble with the projector, follow these
steps to make sure everything is properly connected before you
call Technical Support for assistance.

1 Check cable connections. Verify that all computer, CableWiz-

ard and power cables are properly connected.

2 Verify that all power is switched on.
3 Verify that the projector has not been switched off with the

standby

button on the keypad.

4 If the projector still doesn’t display an image, restart the com-

puter.

NOTE: Macintosh computers
require a specific power-up
sequence: the projector must be
turned on before you turn on th e
computer.

5 If the problem still exists, unplug the projector from the com-

puter and check the computer monitor’s display. The maxi­mum resolution that the 720 can display is 1024x768 pixels,
preferably 800x600; the maximum resolution that the 730 can
display is 1280x1024 pixels, preferably 1024x768. The problem
might be with the graphics controller in your computer rather
than with the projector. When you reconnect the projector,
remember to turn the computer and monitor off before you
power up the projector. Power the equipment back up in this
order: projector, monitor, computer.

6 If you’re using a laptop computer and its monitor is not dis-

playing your presentation, make sure you have re-activated
the computer’s monitor. Most laptop computers de-activate
their own monitor when a second display device, such as the
projector, is connected. Refer to page 55 for more information.

7 If the problem still exists, read through the problems and solu-

tions in this chapter.

If you call Technical Support for assistance:

•

Find out what kind of graphics controller card is installed in
your computer. This is the circuit board in the computer to
which the projector is connected.

Try these steps in this order.

1 Deactivate the screen saver on your computer.
2 Turn

Auto Image

off and then back on again. See “Auto

Image” on page 35.

3 Adjust the synchronization and trackin g manually to find an

optimal setting. See “Manual Sync” on page 36 and “M anual
Tracking” on page 36.

•

If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard
and the projector, make sure it’s In Focus-approved.

•

The problem could be with your computer’s graphics board. If
possible, connect a different computer.

Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video
player’s colors

•

Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display
menu. Just as there are differences in the displays of different
monitors, there are often differences between the computer
image and the projected image. See “Brightness” on page 27,
“Tint” on page 31 and “Contrast” on page 31.

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 41.

Problem: Lamp shuts off

•

A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the
projector off, wait at least 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

Problem: Remote not operating correctly

•

You might need to replace the batteries. S ee “ Replacing the Bat­teries in the Remote Control” on page 43.

•

Make sure you’re pointing the remote either at the back or front
of the projector, or at the projection screen.

•

Make sure the remote is within its operating range of 40 feet.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer

When you turn video mirroring on, the projector displays the
same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in
screen. When video mirrorin g is off , the pr ojecto r acts like a sepa­rate display.

To turn on video mirroring for the first time:

1 Open the Monitors control panel ; click on Monitor 2.
2 Set the number of colors you want.
3 Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.
4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”

Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to o p en the Monitors control panel again.

When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as
slide shows, the projected image occasiona lly might turn black
and white. If this happens, perform th e fol lowing steps:

1 Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as

the primary monitor.

4 Res tart the PowerBook.
