SAFETY SUMMARY
Please read these instructions carefully before using your projec­tor. Failure to comply with them could result in fire, electrical shock, personal injury or damage to equipment.
These graphics are used throughout this manual to draw your attention to important information about the projectors.
NOTE: Additional useful details or tips.
CAUTION: Steps to take to avoid damage to your equipment.
WARNING: Steps to take to avoid personal injury.
These graphics are used on the projector’s labels.
Attention
- Refer to this User’s Guide for important
safety information.
CAUTION- Hot Surfaces
- Avoid touching hot surfaces.
Do not touch until the projector has cooled.
Do Not Look Into The Lens!
Be extremely careful not to look into the projection lens when the projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes. Be especially careful to keep children from looking into the lens.
Power So urce
Use only a three-wire grounding type power source. The power source should not exceed 250 volts rms between the supply con­ductors or between either conductor and the ground.
Power Cord
Use only the power cord that was shipped with the projector. Although other power cords might be similar in appearance, they have not been safety-tested with the projector. Do not use a power cord if it has become damaged or frayed. Contact your In Focus dealer or call In Focus if you need to replace your power cord.

Safety Summary
Grounding
The projector is grounded through the grounding conductor on the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Lamp
To avoid overheating and unacceptable image quality, replace the projection lamp with a lamp of the specified type. Refer to page 49 for lamp specifications and to page 41 for instructions on replacing the lamp.
Lamp Compartment
To avoid burns, do not open the lamp module door until the pro­jector is turned off and the lamp has cooled for at least 2 minutes. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement care­fully.
Hot Surfaces
Allow the projector to cool at least 2 minutes before replacing a lamp. When you open the lamp housing, be very careful not to touch the hot surfaces inside.
NO TE: If you open the projector
case, you will void the warranty.
iv
Ventilation and Overheating
Openings in the projector case provide ventilation to protect it from overhe ating. Keep loose papers and other ob jects well away from the grills. Do not place the projector on top of or close to a computer or other heat-producing equipment.
Liquid Spills
Do not set drinks on top of the projector. Spilled liquids can flow inside and cause damage.
Do Not Disassemble
All projector service must be performed by an authorized In Focus service center. The only user-serviceable part in the projec­tor is the projection lamp, which you can replace by opening the lamp cover on the bottom of the projector (see page 41). Do not open any other part of the projector. If your projector needs repair, call In Focus Technical Support as described on page 5. Before you call Technical Support, you may want to refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 44 to see if you can resolve the prob­lem yourself.

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.
Basic Image Adjustment
Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right
1
order (page 21). If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and
2
tilt of the projector (page 25), zoom the image (page 25), or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical posi­tion (page 36).
If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 25).
3
If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical
4
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.
If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 27)
5
and tint (page 31).
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.
Using the Remote Control
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 the keypa d is ava il­able separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 52.) The remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom.
NO TE: If you can’t aim the remote control at the projector so that its signal is received — for example, when using rear projec-
tion
purchase the optional Smart Remote and connect it directly to the projector with the optional remote control cable. See “Optional Accessories” on page 52.

puter and check the computer monitor’s display. The maxi­mum resolution that the 725 can display is 1024x768 pixels, preferably 800x600; the maximum resolution that the 730 can display is 1280x1024 pixels , preferabl y 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.
44
If you’re using a laptop computer and it is not displaying your
6
presentation, make sure you have activated the computer’s external video output. Most laptop computers do not auto­matically turn on their external video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to page 53 for more information.
If the problem still exists, read through the problems and solu-
7
tions in this chapter.
Solutions to Common Problems
Problem: Nothing on projection screen
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a func­tional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is also properly connected to the projector.
If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on.
Make sure you have removed the lens cap from the projection lens at the front of the projector.
Make sure the projector is switched on.
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con­nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on pa ge 41.
Make sure that the CableWizard and the cables do not have any bent pins. Check the power cord for bent pins also.
Problem: Color or text not being projected
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 27 for more infor­mation.
Verify that the appropriate input source is selected. See “Com­puter” on page 27 or “Video” on page 29.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
Make sure the computer’s graphics card is set for a resolution of no greater than 1024x768 for the 725, 1280x1024 for the 730.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
Reposition the image. Refer to “Horiz. Position” on page 36 and “Vert. Position” on page 36.
If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard and the projector, make sure it’s In Focus-approved.
Problem: Only the start-up screen displays
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. Check to see that the CableWizard computer cable is correctly connected to the monitor connector on the computer (this is the connector where your monitor cable usually goes.) See page 8 through page 17 for connection procedures.
45
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Com­puter” on page 27 or “Video” on page 29.
You might need to turn everything off and power up the equip­ment again. Make sure you power up in this order: projector, computer monitor, computer. It is especially important that you follow this sequence for Macintosh computers.
Make sure your computer’s graphics board is installed and configured correctly.
If you’re using Windows 3.x:
In the Windows Program Manager, double-click the Win-
1
dows Setup icon in the Main program group. Verify that the Display setting is 1024x768 or less for the
2
725, 1280x1024 or less for the 730.
If you’re using Windows 95:
Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and
1
then the Display icon.
46
Click the Settings tab.
2
Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1024x768 or less for
3
the 725, 1280x1024 or less for the 730.
Also check the following:
Does your computer have a compatible graphics board? The projector isn’t CGA or EGA compatible.
Is your computer’s graphics board turned on? This is espe­cially true for laptop computers. See “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 53.
Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen
You might need to manually adjust the tracking to reduce or enlarge the projected image. Refer to “Manual Tracking” on page 36.
Adjust the resolution of your monitor if it’s greater than 1024x768 pixels for the 725 or 1280x1024 for the 730. Only these resolutions at 75 Hz or less will display on the projector.
Problem: Image is out of focus
Turn the projection lens to focus the image.
Make sure the pr ojection scr een is at least 4 feet (1.2m) fr om the projector.
Make sure the projector is turned off, then check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right
Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Switch back to for­ward projection from the Controls menu. The image should immediately return to forward projection. See “Rear Projec­tion” on page 38.
Problem: Image and menus are upside down
Ceiling mode is probably turned on. Turn off the mode from the Controls menu. The image should immediately return to forward projection. See “Ceiling” on page 38.
Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or spots
Adjust the brightness. See “Brightness” on page 27.
Make sure the projector is turned off, then check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.

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 col ors
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. See “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.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring on (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks-see below), the projector displays the same informa­tion that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
1
Set the number of colors you want.
2
Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.
3
Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
4
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
Turn off video mirroring.
1
Open the Monitors control panel.
2
Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
3
the primary monitor. Restart the PowerBook.
4
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook
To select Sim ulScan:
Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
1
Sound.
In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
2
OK. If this changes your display settings, a dialog bo x appear s.
3
Click OK to confirm the change.
