INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The InFocus
®
LP330™ is specifically designed for the mobile pre­senter. It packs XGA 1024x768 graphics with 16.7 million colors into a small, 4.8 pound package. It generates crisp, clear images using Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) techn ology. The LP330 is easy to connect, easy to use, easy to transport, and easy to main­tain.

Image Resolution

The XGA resolution of the LP330’s projected image is 1024x768. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1024x768, 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 1024x768 resolution.
Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768 resolution.
NO TE: The LP330 automatically expands 640x480 and 800x600 images to 1024x768. You can dis­play these images at their native resolutions by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto Resize” on page 21 for more information.
Most standard VCRs, DVD players, camcorders and laser disc players.

Usage Guidel ines

Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
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 37.

SETTING UP
THE PROJECTOR

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 24 to reverse the image.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
2
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image. Figure 3 shows three projected image sizes. For more infor­mation about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 44.

NO TE: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a sec­ondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to your computer manual for the command that activates the exter­nal video port. Activation com­mands for some laptop computers are listed in the Appendix of this manual on page 38 and in the Service section of our website.
NO TE: If you are connecting an older Macintosh computer that does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use a Mac adaptor between the computer and the projector. See “Optional Accesso­ries” on page 37.

Setting up the Projector
Do you want to control the comput er’s mouse from the projector’s remote or keypad? If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.

You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the appropriate drivers.
NO TE: You do not need to restart
your computer after connecting a
USB mouse to use it (it is hot-
pluggable). You must restart your
computer after plugging in a PS-2
mouse.

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop. Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on page 11.

Connecting a Video Player

If your video player uses a round, one-pr on g composite video
1
connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video 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 audio cable and audio adapter. The S-video cable is sold sepa­rately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 37.)
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the
2
“video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 6). 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 7).
Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-
