Troubleshooting

There is no picture or the image is blank

Check power

If the light on the projector near the power button is off, make sure the power cord is

connected and plugged into a working electrical outlet.

If the light is green and not blinking, press the power button.

Check video source and cables

Make sure the video source (DVD player, cable box, VCR, game, HDTV receiver, etc.) is
turned on and cables are securely connected between the source and the projector.

Press the Source button (on projector or remote)

You may need to press it several times to view the correct source.

Press the Auto Image button (on remote)

The picture is unstable or distorted,
or “Signal out of range” is displayed

Press the Auto Image button (on remote)

The light on the projector is blinking red

Check air vents and lamp

Turn off the projector and remove anything that may be blocking its air vents. Leave the
projector off for at least one minute to let it cool, then turn it on again. If the projector
lamp won’t light and the red light starts to blink again, the lamp needs to be replaced.
For lamp replacement instructions, see the Reference Guide, which is on the included
CD-ROM or can be downloaded at www.infocus.com/support

More troubleshooting options are in the Reference Guide

Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees
off axis.

• Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions
to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or
other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling
vents.

• Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• Warn i ng: Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance
with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the
projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people,
food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the pro
jector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over
the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the
warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty booklet.

DNX video processing from Pixelworks™. Whether you are watching mov
ies or High Definition broadcasts or playing the latest video game, you will
enjoy amazing image quality. The unique design and color of the projector
make it a welcome addition to your home.

The projector is available in 3 different resolutions:

• IN72 has 854x480 resolution (480p)

• IN74 has 1024x576 resolution (576p)

• IN76/IN78 have 1280x720 resolution (720p)

This advanced reference guide covers all 4 models. Differences between the
models are noted.

Connector Panel

The projector provides the following connection options:

• M1-DA/DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

• HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

• Component (RCA)

• SCART RGB (you must enable this connector, see page 26)

•S-video

• Composite video (RCA)

See “Video connectors” on page 7 for details.
The projector also provides the following connectors:

• RS-232 for serial control (not included on the IN72)

• 12 volt DC output (see below)

12 volt DC output

The 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides a 12 volt, 0.25 amp DC output. It pro­vides a constant output while the projector is on. It has numerous uses. For
example, if you connect your projection screen to the 12 volt DC output
with the cable that came with your screen, when you turn on the projector
the screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will
return to the storage position.

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.
