INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The In Focus LP740B™ is a multimedia projector that packs
SXGA graphics (1280x1024) with 16.7 million colors. It generates
crisp, clear images using a new and innovative reflective technology. The projector has three computer inputs and two video

generates a partial image within 1280x1024. You can adjust the
horizontal and vertical position of the image using the Image
Conrol menu (see page 18). If your computer’s screen resolution
is 640x480, 800x600, or 1024x768, you can resize the image to
1280x1024 by pressing the Resize button on the keypad or
remote.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
This section describes how to:
•
clean the lens
•
clean the fan filter
•
replace the projection lamp
•
troubleshoot the projector
Cleaning the Lens
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
•
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner.
•
Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might
scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens.
3 If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace
the lens cap.
Cleaning the Fan Intake Filter
The fan intake filter on the bottom of the projector catches dust
and particles in the air. If the filter becomes clogged, the projector
does not cool properly and may malfunction. To prevent this,
clean the filter after every 100 hours of use.
1 Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
2 Remove the filter door (Figure 15).
•
Remove the screw on the filter door and lift the door out.

3 Clean the filter.
•
Use a vacuum cleaner set on low power to remove the dust
and dirt.
4 Re-install the filter.
WARNING: To avoid burns,
allow the projector to cool for at
least 30 minutes before you open
the lamp module door. Never
extract the lamp module while the
lamp is operating.
Replacing the Projection Lamp
The lamp hour counter in the menus counts the number of hours
the lamp has been in use. The LP740B uses a metal halide bulb.
These types of bulbs deteriorate over time. Replace the lamp
when the brightness is no longer acceptable. The lamp LED
blinks slowly after 950 hours; after 1000 hours a “lamp replace”
message appears on the screen. You can order new lamp mod ules
from your In Focus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 34 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2 Wait 30 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.
3 Place the projector on its side, then remove the 2 screw s on the
lamp module door (Figure 16).
4 Pull the lamp door up and remove it.

(see page 22).
Troubleshooting
Problem: Nothing on projection screen
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly con nected to a func-
tional 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 on 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 con-
nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection
Lamp” on page 26.
•
Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.
Problem: Color or text not being projected
•
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the
text is visible. Refer to “Bright” on page 15 for more information.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
•
Make sure the computer’s video card is set for a resolution of
no greater than 1600x1200.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
•
Reposition the image. Refer to “H-Position, V-Position” on
page 18.
•
Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.
Problem: Only the blue start-up screen displays
•
Verify that the cables are connected correctly. See page 7
through page 8 for connection procedures.
•
Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Source”
on page 14.
29
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
•
You might need to turn everything off and power up the
equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.
•
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See
the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 35 or
your computer ’s manual for details.
•
Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con-
figured correctly.
If you’re using Windows 3.x:
1
In the Windows Program Manager, double-click the Windows Setup icon in the Main program group.
2
Verify that the Display setting is 1600x1200 or less.
If you’re using Windows 95:
1
Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and
then the Display icon.
2
Click the Settings tab.
3
Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1600x1200 or less.
Also check the following:
•
Does your computer have a compatible video board? The pro-
jector isn’t CGA or EGA compatible.
•
Is your computer’s video port activated? This is especially
true for laptop computers. See “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 35.
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 Tracking on page 18.
•

•
Make sure the projection screen is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from
the projector.
•
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. Turn “Rear” off in
the Custom Setup menu. The image should immediately
return to forward projection. See “Image Mode” on page 21.
Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or
spots
•
Adjust the brightness. Refer to “Bright” on page 15 for more
information.
•
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.
Problem: no sound
•
Adjust volume.
•
Verify audio/input connections.
•
Adjust audio source.
Problem: Image is “noisy” or streaked
•
Adjust the synchronization and tracking manually to find an
optimal setting. See Sync and Tracking on page 18.
•
The problem could be with your computer’s video card. 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 menus.
Just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image
and the projected image. Refer to “Bright” on page 15, or Tint
or Contrast on page 18.
31
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
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 26.
Problem: Lamp shuts off
•
A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the
projector off, wait at least 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks-see below) on, 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:
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 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:
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 Restart the PowerBook.
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 inform ation that
appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
Sound.
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
OK.
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
Click OK to confirm the change.
