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 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 (1.49m) 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.
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 page 35. InFocus recom­mends using an authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 42.
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 top illus­tration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more infor­mation about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on page 43.
The image exits the projector at a given angle. The image offset is
112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.22’ above the center of the lens.
This image offset is 132.9% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 3.29’ above the center of the lens.
See “Connecting a video device” on page 14 for additional information on 16:9 and 4:3 modes.

Projector and Device Connector Guide

The following should help you find the connectors that you want to use to obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720P HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players.

Computer connections

Computer connections involve attaching the computer cable included with the projector from a computer to the Computer In input. Optional connections include attaching the included audio cable from computer to projector, connecting the computer monitor to the projector, and connecting a USB cable (not­included) from the computer to the projector to advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation. See page 9 for setup computer/projector setup information.

Video connections

The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest, is:
1 Component video
2 S-video
3 Composite video
If you are connecting the projector to HDTV sources, the projector’s computer (VGA) connector, labeled Video In, should be used. Keep in mind that HDTV and progressive sources should only be handled through the projector’s VGA connector. The S-video port does not function with progressive sources, even with an the optional Component to S-video adapter. With progressive sources, the optional Component to VESA adapter must be used. Both of these adapt­ers can be found in “Optional Accessories” on page 42 for ordering information.

Connecting a computer source

Required computer connections

Connect one end of the computer cable (see page 14 for connecting video devices) to the dark blue Computer In connector on the projector. Connect the other end to the video port on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you will need to disconnect the monitor cable from the com­puter’s video port first.
Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the side of the pro­jector and to your electrical outlet.
NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.

connect power cable

Optional computer connections

To have sound with your presentation, connect the audio cable to your com­puter and to the Audio In connector on the projector.
If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your computer screen as well as on the projection screen, connect the computer’s monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.
To advance slides in a PowerPoint presentation using the remote, plug the USB connector on the computer cable into the USB mouse connector on your computer. USB drivers must be installed to use the USB feature. For more information For more information, see page 13.

Displaying a computer source image

Remove the lens cap.
remove lens cap
Toggle t h e Power switch on the side of the projector to the On position.
The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the start up screen displays and the LED is steady green. It can take a minute for the image to achieve full brightness.
? No start up screen? Get help on page 19.
Turn on your computer.
The computer’s image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Computer button on the projector’s keypad.
If your computer has Windows 98 as its operating system, see “Using the projector with Windows 98 for the first time” on page 12 regarding the driver setup process.
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is active.
Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F5 is used to turn the external display on and off. Refer to your laptop’s documentation to learn your laptop’s key combination.
? No laptop image? Try pressing the Auto Image button on the key- pad. Get help on page 20.

Follow these instructions to use the Wiz­ard to load the correct driver (which was installed with your Windows operating system).
If you are running Windows 2000 or Windows ME, skip these steps and go to “Adjusting the image” on page 11.

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. There is also an audio input. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can connect the audio to your stereo system.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the projector’s Menu. See page 32 for more information.
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may answer this question for you. 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 regular TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9.
If a 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.

Do Not Use

16:9 mode
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. 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.
