Important Operating Considerations
• Place the projector in a horizontal position, with no more than 15
degrees forward or backwards tilt. See “Positioning the projector” on
page 6.
• 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.
• Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
• In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or
federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see
www.eiae.org.
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 section at
the end of this Installer's Guide.

Connector Panel
The projector provides eight discreet video connectors:
• one red-green-blue RCA (SD/ED/HD component)
• one red-green-blue BNC (SD/ED/HD component)
•two S-video
•one composite RCA
• one M1-DA (HD, RGBHV, HD component, DVI, and computer)
• one VESA (HD, RGBHV, HD component, and computer)
• one D5 (SD/ED/HD component, RGB SCART)
It also has a mini-jack input for a Niles or Xantech-compatible IR repeater
and an RS-232 connector for serial control. The Command Line Interface
(CLI) specifications and commands are listed in the Appendix starting on
page 27.
Two 3.5mm mini-jack triggers provide 12 volt current. Screen trigger provides a constant output while the projector is on. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the screen trigger, 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. Screen mask provides a 4:3 aspect
trigger. When you select 4:3 in the Aspect Ratio menu or from the Resize
button on the remote, a 12v signal will be sent after a five second delay. Use
this trigger for screens with 4:3 aspect curtains. When you switch back to
16:9 format, the curtains open to reveal the entire screen.

Positioning the projector
There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up
the projector, including 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 general guidelines.
1 Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source. To
ensure adequate cable access, place the projector at least 6 inches
(0.15m) from a wall or other objects. Place the projector at least 5.6 feet
(1.7 m) from the projection screen.
If you install 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 page 16. InFocus recommends use of an
authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately.
If you do not install the projector on the ceiling, or you install it on the
ceiling with a less than 90% offset, please remove and discard the metal
light shield that is attached to the lens collar by pulling it off.
2 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.
Go to www.infocushome.com/support for a complete image size calcula-
tor.

Video connections
Table 1: Video connections
You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video
games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (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. Examples 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.) Audio
must be provided by your own speakers, as the projector has no separate
audio controls. If there is more than one output, select the highest quality
one. DVI, Component video and RGB (M1, HD15) have the best quality, followed by S-video, and then composite video
.

Shutting down the projector
Power Sav e
The projector has a Power Save feature in the System menu that automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10
additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active

Optimizing video images
Customizing the projector
After the video device is connected properly and the image is on the screen,
you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For general information on using the menus, see page 11.
• Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to
image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV
and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your
input source in the menus, or press the Resize button on the remote to
cycle through the options. See page 12.
• Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture
menu. See page 12.
