12 volt DC outputs
The 3.5mm mini-jack triggers provide a 12 volt, 0.25 amp DC output. They provide
a constant output while the projector is on. They are typically used for screen control. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the vertical screen trigger 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. The horizontal screen trigger output can be used to control
curtains or an adjustable aspect ratio screen.

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 page 24. We recommend 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 136%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the
bottom of the image will be 3.6’ above the center of the lens.

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 resolution 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.
NOTE: If you purchase an optional anamorphic lens, select the Letterbox option to
achieve the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Connecting a video device
You can connect video devices such as HDTV receivers, HD-DVD players, VCRs,
camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, and TV tuners to the projector.
Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound.
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.

RCA
S-video
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 HDMI or M1-DA/DVI (both are digital inputs)
2 component RGB video (RCAs)
3 S-video
4 composite video (RCA)
If your device has a VGA connector, you can use an optional M1-DA/DVI connector for a high quality image. You can use the included M1-DA to HDMI adapter to
connect a second HDMI source.
For detailed information on supported video formats, see page 30.

Digital connections
The M1-DA/DVI and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors are
digital and yield the highest quality image. It is common for these signals to be
encrypted with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital-content protection). Your new projector ships standard with decryption codes so you can enjoy these high quality, all
digital images.
This projector features the M1-DA connector, which has the following advantages:
• allows connection to a second DVI source
• allows connection to second component source
• allows connection to an analog computer source (VGA)
• has output pins that can power accessories.
This is an HDTV (High Definition Television) monitor, meaning it has vertical scanning lines of 720 progressive, 1080 interlaced or higher.

HDMI 1.3 connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and
receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on
the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.
To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-compatible source.
Note that the projector has no audio capabilities, so audio signals transferred
through HDMI will not be audible.
DVI connection
If your video device uses a DVI connector, plug the DVI end of an M1-DA cable
into the video-out connector on the video device. This connector may be labeled
“To Monitor” on the video device. Plug the M1-DA end of the cable into the M1-
DA/DVI connector on the projector.
Component (RCA) connection
If your device uses component connectors, plug a component video cable with red,
green, and blue RCA connectors into the source device’s component connectors
and the Component connectors on the projector.
S-video connection
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug the
S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-
video connector on the projector.
Computer connections
You can connect a computer’s VGA connector to the M1-DA/DVI input on the
projector using an M1-A cable.
RS-232 connections
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial control connector. Specific RS232 commands can be found in the Service section of our website at www.info-
cus.com/support.
Composite (RCA) 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 Composite
connector on the projector.

level. Before using, make sure there are black bars at the top, bottom, or sides of
the image.
Film Mode: controls deinterlacing and is On by default. When checked, it
assumes the incoming signal is film material and optimizes the image accordingly.
Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image.
Select a sharpness setting.
Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video sources. It
allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the input signal. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard.
To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer
sources, choose either REC709 or REC601 for component video sources.

Color Space
Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a value. Native
means an uncorrected/unchanged color temperature. Other values change the
white point of the colors. 6500K (the default setting) is generally used for film content and 9300K is used for TV video.
Color Gamut: sets the total number of possible displayable colors (gamut).
Choose Auto to have the projector select automatically based on the current signal format. Choose Maximum to display all colors that the projector is capable of
displaying.
Color Control: allows you to individually adjust the gain and offset of the red,
green, and blue colors. These advanced controls have the same effect as contrast
and brightness, but each controls a single color only.
Video Standard: when it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to automatically
pick the video standard based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard
options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the projector is unable
to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image may
appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC,
PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.
Noise Reduction: adjusts signal noise reduction. Choose Enable then adjust the
level. The software determines the differences between successive image frames
and averages the changes out to reduce the noise.

Settings menu
Sources: allows programming of source buttons, enables autosource, and enables
the SCART RGB source. When Autosource is selected, the Source Enable feature indicates which sources the projector attempts to lock onto. You can use the
Source Enable feature to eliminate certain sources from this search, which will
speed the search. By default, the check boxes for all sources are checked except
SCART RGB. Uncheck a source box to eliminate it from the search. When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults to Component initially, then defaults
to whatever the last active source was when the projector was powered down. To
display another source, you must manually select one by pressing the Source button on the remote. This cycles through all the sources that are selected in the
Source Enable menu.
The Source 1, 2, and 3 menus in the Sources menu allow you to assign a source to
the Source 1, 2, and 3 buttons on the remote. The Source 4 menu selection would
apply to the Custom key if that option is chosen in the Custom key menu, see
page 25. To use the SCART RGB source, you must first select it in the Source
Enable menu (the projector cannot automatically detect this source). Enabling
SCART will disable Component and Composite sources.
System>OSD Offset: allows you to adjust the position of the OSD. By default,
the menus are postponed in the upper lefthand corner of the displayed image and
the messages are postponed in the lower lefthand corner. Adjust the offset to
move these items more to the right and middle of the display. Rear: reverses the
image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. Ceiling: turns the
image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection. Auto Ceiling: uses an internal
sensor to automatically turn on ceiling mount mode if the projector is inverted.
High Power: maximizes the light output of the lamp. Auto Power: When Auto
Power is checked, the projector automatically goes into the startup state after the
projector receives power. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a
wall power switch.

Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching”) in the lower-
left corner of the screen.Tra n s l u c e n t O S D (On Screen Display): makes the
menus translucent. This prevents the image from being completely covered by the
menus while you are making image adjustments. Sleep Timer: automatically turns
off the projector after 4 hours. Power Save: 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.
Startup Logo: allows you to display a blank screen instead of the default screen
at startup.
Blank Screen: determines what color is displayed when you select Blank Screen
in the Startup Logo menu and when no source is displayed.
Language: allows you to select a language for the onscreen display.
Custom key: allows you to assign a different function to the Custom key on the
remote, allowing you to quickly and easily use that function. Highlight an effect and
press Select to choose a different one.
• Blank Screen: displays a solid blank image.
• Freeze: takes a snapshot of the projected image. If you’re watching video, the
source video continues to run but the image is frozen.
• Source Info: the default effect. It opens a window with projector and source
information.
• Service Info: opens the Service info window.
• Source 4: selects source 4 (by default, Source 4 is the Composite input). This
gives you 4 direct source options on the remote. See page 24.

check box in the Service menu to turn the option on, exit the menus, then
press the Custom button on the remote. To select the patterns, use the up/
down arrows on the remote. To exit the test patterns, press the Custom
button.
Blue Only: turns off the Red and Green portions of the input, allowing you
to properly adjust the color balance with a SMPTE color bar pattern.
HDMI DDC: turns the EDID extension on and off. Some graphic cards cannot recognize the projector’s EDID. By default, the extensions are on (checkboxes are checked). Change these settings if you have trouble using HDMI or
DVI sources.
Serial Port: allows you to select the baud rate to accommodate some older,
slower external control systems.
Service Info: provides information about the projector’s software, serial

Maintenance
Replacing the projection lamp
The lamp hours timer in the Service Info menu counts the number of hours the
lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, a message appears
on the screen at startup indicating that you should change the lamp. The LED on
top of the projector also blinks red twice to indicate that the lamp should be
changed.
NOTE: You can order new lamp housings from www.infocus.com (in select areas),
your retailer or your dealer. Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and
rating as the original lamp.
WARNING :
To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before
you replace the lamp.
Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely
event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The
lamp housing is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when
removing the lamp housing. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp
compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp
replacement.
Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

RS-232 terminal Product Interface specifications
Communication configuration
To control the projector from an LCD control panel, connect an RS-232 cable to
the serial control connector on the projector and set your computer’s serial port
settings to match this communication configuration:
Setting Value
Bits per second 115,200
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
Emulation VT100
Command format
All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all enclosed in
“greater than” and “less than” signs. The request can be a read request (indicated
by a “?”) or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).
A read request format: <AAA?> where
< starts the command
AAA denotes the command
? denotes the read request
> ends the command
A write request example: <AAA=####> where
< starts the command
AAA denotes the command
=#### denotes the value to be written
(leading zeros not necessary)
> ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than
the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for
that function. With absolute settings, “0” is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is
the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on
