Positioning the projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of
your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between
the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some guidelines:
• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The
projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.
• For safety reasons, position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your
power source (running extension cables may introduce a trip hazard).
To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6
inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
• 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” on
using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.
• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the
video format determine the size of the projected image.
• The image offset is 128% for the IN72. This means that if you have an
image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 2.8’ above the center of
the lens. For the IN74/ IN76/IN78, the image offset is 115%.

Choosing the aspect ratio
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and
most DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. When in 4:3
mode the projector places black bars on both sides of the image. Native
mode centers the image and turns off the internal scaler so that any resolu
tion larger than the native projector resolution is cropped on the edges. Letterbox expands the image to fill the screen.
What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. For
example, most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a
16:9 screen, then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic
movies and HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you
should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the
option of using 4:3, Native, or Natural Wide for 4:3 content. Keep in mind
that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to
output to a 16:9 television. Natural Wide stretches a 4:3 image to fill the
entire 16:9 screen. The center two-thirds of the image is unchanged; the
edges of the image are stretched.

Video connectors
The first step for connecting video is determining what type of output connectors your video device has. If there is more than one output, select the
one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the
highest, is:
1 M1-DA/DVI or HDMI (both are digital inputs)
2 component /SCART RGB video (RCAs)
3 S-video
4 composite video (RCA)
If your device has a VGA connector, you can use the M1-DA/DVI connector
for a high quality image. Many PC game systems have VGA connectors.

Connecting a video device
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders,
digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the
projector. Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system
to get sound.
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a
cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Exam
ples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered
a tuner.
A composite video cable is provided with your projector so you can quickly
and easily connect a video source to the projector and see the amazing
image that is displayed. Once you have determined a more permanent loca
tion for your projector, we recommend purchasing higher quality cables in
the proper length to get the best image from your particular video equip
ment. High quality cables optimized for your projector can be purchased
from www.infocus.com/store (in select areas) or from your dealer or
retailer.
Composite (RCA) video connection
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow
Composite connector on the projector.
-
Component (RCA) connection
If your device uses component connectors, plug a component video cable
with red, green, and blue RCA connectors into the source device’s compo
nent connectors and the Component connectors on the projector.
SCART RGB connection
SCART (from Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et
Téléviseurs) is a French-originated standard and connector for connecting
audio and video equipment to display devices. The video signal is sepa
rated into its primary components for brighter, more accurate colors and
sharper detail. You must enable this connector in the Source Enable menu to
use it, see
to your SCART device.
-
page 26. You will also need a SCART to 4-RCA adapter to connect
-
-
S-video connection
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug the
S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the
S-video connector on the projector.

Digital connections
The M1-DA/DVI and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors are digital and yield the highest quality image. It is common for
these signals to be encrypted with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital-content
protection). Your new projector ships standard with decryption codes so
you can enjoy these high quality, all digital images.
This projector uses the M1-DA connector, which has the following advantages:
• allows connection to a digital DVI source
• allows connection to a component source
• allows connection to an analog computer source
• carries a USB control signal which allows you to easily update your
projector’s software as enhancements become available.
• has output pins that can power accessories.
The IN76 and IN78 are HDTV (High Definition Television) monitors, meaning they have vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive, 1080 interlaced or
higher. The IN72 and IN74 are EDTV (Enhanced Definition Television)
monitors, meaning they have vertical scanning lines of 480 progressive or
higher. HD content can be displayed on an EDTV monitor, the resolution is
just less than that of an HDTV.
DVI connection
If your video device uses a DVI connector, plug the DVI end of an M1-DA
cable into the video-out connector on the video device. This connector may
be labeled “To Monitor” on the video device. Plug the M1-DA end of the
cable into the M1-DA/DVI connector on the projector.
HDMI connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.
HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD
players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the
video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on
the projector.
An M1-DA to HDMI adapter is included with the IN78. This plugs inot the
M1-DA connecotr and allows a second HDMI source to be connected. Note:
DVI, VESA, and USB connections are not available when adapter is con
nected.
Note that the projector has no audio capabilities, so audio signals transferred through HDMI will not be audible.
-
Computer connections
You can connect a computer’s VGA connector to the M1-DA/DVI input on
the projector using an M1-A cable.
RS-232 connections (IN74/IN76/IN78 only)
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial control connector. Spe
cific RS-232 commands can be found in the Service section of our website at
www.infocus.com/support.

Shutting down the projector
Troubleshooting your setup
Power Save
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the
lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with
the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is on. See
page 26.
Sleep Timer
The projector also has a sleep timer feature that automatically turns the projector off after 4 hours. See page 26.
Turning off the projector
Press the Power button on the remote or keypad to turn the projector off.
The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for one (1) minute while the
fans continue to run to cool the lamp. While the LED is blinking green, the
projector does not accept any user input. Once the cooling process is com
plete, the LED lights solid green and you can turn the projector back on, if
desired.
NOTE: Once the projector has been turned off, you must wait for one (1)
minute before turning the projector on again. This allows the lamp to prop
erly cool. The LED lights solid green when the cooling process is complete.

Enable feature indicates which sources the projector attempts to lock onto.
You can use the Source Enable feature to eliminate certain sources from this
search, which will speed the search. By default, the check boxes for all
sources are checked except SCART RGB. Uncheck a source box to eliminate
it from the search. When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults
to Component initially, then defaults to whatever the last active source was
when the projector was powered down. To display another source, you
must manually select one by pressing the Source button on the remote or
keypad. This cycles through all the sources that are selected in the Source
Enable menu.
The Source 1, 2, and 3 menus in the Sources menu allow you to assign a
source to the Source 1, 2, and 3 buttons on the remote. The Source 4 menu
selection would apply to the Custom key if that option is chosen in the Cus
tom key menu, see page 27.

menu (the projector cannot automatically detect this source). Enabling
SCART will disable Component and Composite sources.
System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection. Auto Ceiling: uses an internal sensor to automatically turn on
ceiling mount mode if the projector is inverted. High Power: maximizes the
light output of the lamp. Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the
projector automatically goes into the startup state after the projector
receives power. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a
wall power switch Display Messages: displays status messages (such as
“Searching”) in the lower-left corner of the screen.Tr an sl uc e nt O SD : makes

cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh
chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.
Replacing the projection lamp
The lamp hours timer in the Service Info menu counts the number of hours
the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, a mes
sage appears on the screen at startup indicating that you should change the
lamp. The LED on top of the projector also blinks red twice to indicate that
the lamp should be changed.
NOTE: You can order new lamp housings from www.infocus.com (in select
areas), your retailer or your dealer. Use only a replacement lamp with the
same type and rating as the original lamp.
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. If ceiling mounted,
disconnect all cables and detach the projector from the ceiling mount.

Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number
greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the
maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not

The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on
