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.

InFocus SP 777 User Manual

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.

For details on each connector type and their inputs, see page 26.

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 calculator.

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 Save

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 signal is received before the projector powers down, the image is displayed. You must press the Power button to display an image after 30 minutes have passed.

Turning off the projector

To turn off the projector, press the Power button on the remote. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for about one minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights green and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.

Using the remote control

The remote uses two (2) provided AAA batteries. They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.

To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the video device or computer). The range of optimum operation is up to 30 feet (9.14m).

Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and adjust values in the menus. See page 11 for more info on the menus.

The remote also has:

Power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 8 for shutdown info)

backlight button to light the remote’s buttons in the dark

Brightness and Contrast buttons to adjust the image

Blank button to display a blank screen instead of the current image (to change the color of the blank screen, see page 17)

Source buttons to switch among sources (to assign a particular source to a source button, see page 16) and a source toggle

Resize button to change the Aspect Ratio (see page 12)

Auto Image button to resynchronize the projector to the source

Preset button to restore stored settings (see page 13)

Overscan button to remove noise in a video image (page 13)

Adjusting power zoom lens

You can adjust the lens using the Up and Down navigation buttons on the remote (only when the menus aren’t open). The Lens Control Enable option in the System menu must be turned on to do this (on by default, see

page 17).

When you power on the projector, the buttons are mapped to adjust focus. Press the Select button to scroll through other available functions: zoom,

vertical lens shift, horizontal lens shift, and back to focus, then use the Up and Down buttons to make adjustments. The name of the currently selected function appears on the projection screen.

Troubleshooting the remote

Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not dead.

Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not at the video device or the computer, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).

Optimizing video images

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.

Select a different Color Temperature or use the Color Control to adjust the gain and offset of the red, green, and blue color. See page 15.

Select a specific Color Space or Gamma. See page 13 and page 15.

Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See page 15.

Turn Overscan on to remove noise around the video image. See page 13.

Fine tune component inputs using the TrueLife™ adjustments. See page 14.
