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.
• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector.
InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or certification of any
other lamps. The use of other lamps violates the projector warranty and
voids all certification marks on this projector.
• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is
recommended.
• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
• 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
projector, 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.

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 general 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.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and
within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase
extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the
projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
• 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 exits the projector at a given angle. IN1100 image offset is
115%; IN1102 image offset is 112.4%. This means that if you have an
image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.5' (IN1100) and 1.24'
(IN1102) above the center of the lens.

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders,
digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the
projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound
from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system
and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo system.
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters the building 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.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you
want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the
Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu.
page 28 for more information.
See
What is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are
usually 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a
screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to
use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don’t have the screen size
restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3
and 16:9. 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 or 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 either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for
direct pixel mapping) 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.
12
Video device connections
No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from
InFocus or provide your own.
Composite 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 Video 2 connector on the projector.
Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio
out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right
audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into
the Audio In connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high
quality as S-video.
S-video connection
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an Svideo cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the
Video 1 connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above.
Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than
composite.
VESA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This
connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the
computer cable into the Computer 2 connector on the projector.
Component video connection
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional
Component to VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into
the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter
and plug the adapter into the Computer 2 connector. Component offers the
highest quality video output.
13
Shutting down the projector
The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the
projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote
or keypad button is pressed.
Screen Save Time
You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by
turning on the Screen Save Time feature in the Setup menu. See page 30.
Auto Off Time
The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the
