INTRODUCTION

The InFocus

LP920™ XGA multimedia projector is specifically designed for fixed installations. The projector features an M1-DA connector for easy, built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity. It allows four computer, three video, and three audio inputs, one audio output, and RS-232 control.

Image Resolution

The native resolution of the 920’s projected image is XGA 1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024 are compressed to 1024x768. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector.

Compatibility

The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including:

•

IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024 resolution.

NOTE: The LP920 automatically

expands 640x480 and 800x600

images to 1024x768. You can dis-

play these images at their native

resolutions by turning off the Auto

Resize feature. See “Resize” on

page 32 for more information.

•

Apple® Macintosh® and PowerBook® computers up to 1280x1024 resolution.

•

Most standard VCRs, DVD players, HDTV sources, camcorders and laser disc players.

•

Selected workstations (contact your dealer for details).

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 50.

Warranty

This product is backed by a limited two-year warranty. The details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. A longer term warranty can be purchased from your InFocus dealer. Refer to page 50 for the part number.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

Place 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 36 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 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 50.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

•

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and minimum and maximum distances to the screen.

The formulas for distance to the screen are:

Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49 Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69

Projected image size for 10’ diagonal image size

The projector is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall) without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly square image. Turn the lens shift knob on the side of the projector to make this adjustment (Figure 4).

jector’s lens (Figure 5) to parallel with the lens (Figure 6).

Example:

With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bottom of the image is 5’ below the projector’s lens; at the highest projection angle, the bottom of the image is parallel with the lens.

Highest image projection angle

Once you know the diagonal image size, you can figure out the width and height using these formulas:

width (inches) = diagonal (inches) x 0.8 height (inches) = width (inches) x 0.75

Setting up the Projector

The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens shift position represents the highest the projector can be above the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.
