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 41.

Setting up the Projector

Connecting a Video Player

The LP770 has 3 different connections for video players: S-video, composite video, and BNC (the S-video and BNC connections require cables not included with the LP770).

If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video

connector, plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” connector on your video player. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.” If you’re using an Svideo cable, connect it to the “S-video out” connector on the video player. If you’re using a BNC cable, connect it to the “BNC-video out” connector on the video player (Figure 9).

CAUTION: Your video player

may also have a “Video Out”

connector for a coaxial cable

connection. DO NOT use this to

connect to the projector.

Plug the other yellow connector into the

Video 2 In

composite video connector on the projector. If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into the

Video 1 or 2 In

“S-video” connector on the projector. If you’re using BNC, plug the other end of the cable into the

Video 1 In

“BNC” connector on the

projector.

The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, and SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video. See “Video Signal” on page 26 for details.

Connecting DVD players with component video output or HDTV decoders

If your DVD player has (Y,Cb,Cr) outputs, use the Computer 1 or Computer 2 In connectors. Also select (Y,Cb,Cr) for Computer Input in the Signal menu (see “Computer Input” on page 28).

If your HDTV decoder has (Y,Pb,Pr) outputs, use the Computer 1 or Computer 2 In connectors. Also select (Y,Pb,Pr) for Computer Input in the Signal menu. If your HDTV decoder has R, G, B output, select RGB for Computer Input in the Signal menu.
