INTRODUCTION
The InFocus® LP340™ and LP350™ multimedia projectors are specifically designed for multipurpose use. They generate crisp, clear images using Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) technology, and feature an M1-DA connector for easy, built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity. They are easy to connect, easy to use, easy to transport, and easy to maintain. The LP340 has native SVGA 800x600 resolution, the LP350 has XGA 1024x768 resolution. The user interfaces of the two products are identical; information in this user’s guide applies to both products.
Image Resolution
LP340
The SVGA resolution of the LP340’s projected image is 800x600. 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.
LP350
The XGA resolution of the LP350’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.
NOTE: The LP340 automatically expands 640x480 images to 800x600. You can display these images at their native resolutions by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See “Resize” on page 24 for more information.
NOTE: The LP350 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 “Resize” on page 24 for more information.

Usage Guidelines
•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 43.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1Place the projector on a flat surface.
•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 28 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 27. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately, see “Optional Accessories” on page 43.
2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
•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 50.

Connecting the projector to a computer
NOTE: 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 44 and in the Service section of our website.
NOTE: 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 43.

NOTE: The USB mouse is supported for use with Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Apple OS 8.5 and higher only.
NOTE: You do not need to restart your computer after connecting a USB mouse to use it (it is hotpluggable).
Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote or keypad?
1Plug the end of the M1-DA analog computer cable into the USB mouse connector on your computer. If your computer has a PS/2 mouse connector and not a USB mouse connector, you can purchase the optional CableWizard3 which has a PS/2 mouse connector or the Executive Remote IR Receiver. See “Optional Accessories” on page 43.
Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the projector?
1Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on your computer.
2Plug the other end of the audio cable into the connector on the projector.
Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop. Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on page 13.
10
Connecting a Video Player
1If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video 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 43.)
2Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” 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).
3Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video connector on the projector.
•If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into
the “S-video” connector on the projector (Figure 8).

5Plug the audio adapter’s other end into the audio cable.
6Plug the audio cable into the “audio in” connector on the projector.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video.

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image
1Remove the lens cap.
2Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.
3Press the Power button on the side of the projector.
•The fans start to run, the LED on the top of the projector (Figure 12 on page 18) lights green, and the InFocus startup screen appears. It takes about one minute for the image to achieve full brightness.
4If you connected a video player, turn it on.
•The video image should display on the projection screen. If a computer source is active, press the source button on the keypad (page 18) or the video button on the remote to display your video image. You can select a default source to determine which source the projector examines first during power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 28.
•Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.
5Turn on your computer.
•The computer image should display on the projection screen. If a video source is active, press the source button on the keypad or the computer button on the remote to display your computer’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 44 for details.
•If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the projector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote, then select the Display or Image menu. For more information about the menus, see page 20.
NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.
NOTE: The first time you connect your computer to the projector, the computer may display a message stating that new hardware was found. The Add New Hardware Wizard may appear. Use the Wizard to load the correct driver (the computer considers the projector a Plug and Play Monitor).
NOTE: With some computers, the order in which you power up the equipment is very important. Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.
