USING THE
PROJECTOR
USING THE PROJECTOR
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote
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 15).
If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and
2
tilt of the projector (page 19), zoom the image (page 19 and
page 30), or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or
vertical position (page 30).
If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 19).
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 29) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjust the sync
(page 29) and/or the tracking (page 30) manually.
If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 22)
5
and tint (page 25).
Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the top of
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 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 25
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the
rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a full-feature remote (see page 21 for a
description of the buttons) which includes a laser pointer. The
remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top
of the remote and one on the bottom (Figure 14).

the projector.
Problem: Image is out of focus
•
Turn the projection lens to focus the image.
•
Make sure the projection screen is at least 4 feet (1.2m) from 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 32.
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 Projection” on page 32.
Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or spots
•

optimal setting. See “Manual Sync” on page 29 and “Manual
Tracking” on page 30.
•
If you’re using an extension cable between the CableWizard
and the projector, make sure it’s InFocus-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 + or -” on
page 22, “Tint” on page 25, and “Contrast” on page 25.
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 39.
46
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 41.
•
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the top of the projector, or at the projection screen.
•
Make sure the remote is within its operating range of 25 feet.
Before calling your dealer or InFocus Technical Support for assistance, please have the following information available:

Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is connected. Activation commands for some laptop
computers are listed in the following table. (If your computer is
not listed or the given command does not work, refer to the computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On some
laptops, the activation function key is labeled with an icon, for
* These manufacturers have models that automatically send video
to the external CRT port when some type of display device is
attached.
** These manufacturers offer more than one key command depend-
ing on the computer model.
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 SimulScan:
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 box appears.
3
Click OK to confirm the change.
