Connecting a Video Player
1 If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video
connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with
the projector.
•
If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the A/V
cable. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional
Accessories” on page 46.)
2 Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out”
port on your video player (Figure 6). This port may be labeled
“To Monitor.”
•
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “s-video
out” connector on the video player (Figure 7).

The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video
standards: NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, and PAL-N. It automatically
adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video. The
input signals for PAL-M and PAL-N video cannot be automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually; see
“Video Standard” on page 27.

clean the lens
•
clean the fan intake filter
•
replace the projection lamp
•
replace the batteries in the remote control
•
use the Kensington lock feature
•
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.

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.
•
Carefully place a screwdriver against the indented part of
the filter door and lift out.
