Introduction8
Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you
select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of
a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector
and the rest of your equipment.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation
locations:
1.Front Table
Select this location with the projector placed near
the floor in front of the screen. This is the most
common way to position the projector for quick
setup and portability.
2.Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.
Purchase the InFocus projector ceiling mount kit
from your dealer to mount your projector on the
ceiling.
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic >
Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.
3.Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed near
the floor behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen is
required.
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic >
Projector Position menu after you turn the
projector on.
4.Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.
Note that a special rear projection screen and the
InFocus projector ceiling mounting kit are required
for this installation location.
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic >
Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.
Positioning your projector9
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video
format each factors in the projected image size.
4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9
(widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen
image to the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally
smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.
4:3 aspect image in a 4:3
aspect display area
Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image
displayed by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top
and bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area
whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3
projection display area.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and
positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of
the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or
projecting onto angled surfaces).
The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reelto-reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a
slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that
they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a
screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the
table (and everyone in the room can see the screen).
If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it
projects at a slightly downward angle.
You can see from the diagram on page 12, that this type of projection causes the
bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane
of the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected
image.
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size
increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account
for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are
directly proportional to the projection distance.
InFocus has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in
determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to
consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen
(projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the
horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

aspect display area
Positioning your projector10
How to determine the position of the projector
for a given screen size
1.Select your screen size.
2.Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left
columns labelled "4:3 screen diagonal". Using this value, look across this row
to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in
the column labelled "Average". This is the projection distance.
3.On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the
"Vertical offset in mm" value. This will determine the final vertical offset
placement of the projector in relation to the edge of the screen.
4.The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the
horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in
step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.
For example, if you are using a 108-inch screen, the average projection distance is
4362 mm and with a vertical offset of 165 mm.
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will
have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations,
some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the
distortion. See "Correcting keystone" on page 25 for details.
How to determine the recommended screen size
for a given distance
This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector
and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.
The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.
1.Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position
the screen. This is the projection distance.
2.Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the
average distance from screen column labelled "Average". If the min and max
values are available on the table, check that your measured distance is
between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average
distance value.
3.Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding
screen diagonal listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the
projector at that projection distance.
4.On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the
"Vertical offset in mm" value. This will determine the final placement of the
screen in relation to the horizontal plane of the projector.
For example, if your measured projection distance was 4.5 m (4500 mm), the
closest match in the "Average" column is 4362 mm. Looking across this row shows
that a 108-inch screen is required.
Positioning your projector11
Projection dimensions
Refer to "Dimensions" on page 52 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector
before calculating the appropriate position.
There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. InFocus
recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test
the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently
install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connection14
Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any
one of the following output sockets:
• Component Video
• S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video
quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of
matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described
below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be
confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output
Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your
connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.
See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 16 for how to
connect the projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard
composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals
on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 17 for how to connect the
projector to an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but
less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the
available methods described here.
See"Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 18for how to connect
the projector to a composite Video device.
Connecting audio
The projector has one built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic
audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only.
They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might
be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input
(if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector
speaker.
Connection15
Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused
Component Video output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the
device.
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:
1.Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end
with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the
Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets;
green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.
2.Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable
(with a D-Sub type connector) to the D-SUB IN socket on the projector.
3.If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your
presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to
the audio output socket of the device, and the other end to the AUDIO socket
of the projector.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen

Connecting an S-Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output
socket available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the
device.
To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:
1.Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of
the Video source device.
2.Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the
projector.
3.If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your
presentations, take a suitable audio cable and connect one end of the cable to
the audio output socket of the device, and the other end to the AUDIO socket

Selecting the aspect ratio
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog
TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital
TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector
can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of
the image input signal.
To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):
1.Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the DISPLAY menu is
highlighted.
2.Press
Operation26
to highlight Aspect Ratio.
3.Press / to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and
your display requirements.
About the aspect ratio
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active
areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
1.Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the
projector's native resolution in its horizontal
width. This is suitable for the incoming image
which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to
make most use of the screen without altering
the image's aspect ratio.
2.
Real: The image is projected as its original
resolution, and resized to fit within the display
area. For input signals with lower resolutions,
the projected image will display smaller than if
resized to full screen. You could adjust the
zoom setting or move the projector towards
the screen to increase the image size if
necessary. You may also need to refocus the
projector after making these adjustments.
3.4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in
the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
This is most suitable for 4:3 images like
computer monitors, standard definition TV and
4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them
without aspect alteration.
4.16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in
the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect
ratio. This is most suitable for images which
are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition
TV, as it displays them without aspect
alteration.

3.T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4.T4: Makes images appear reddish white.
*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various
purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the
“color temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be
reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more
blue in it.

3D Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in
classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or
where building external windows allow daylight into the room.
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms,
lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. 3D Color Management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more
accurate color reproduction, should you require it.
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible
viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and
provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools
are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able
to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional
installer.
3D Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted.
When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation
according to your preference.
If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can
be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can
project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.
To adjust the settings:
1.Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
2.Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.
3.Highlight Primary Color and press / to select a color from among Red,
Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.
4. Press to highlight Hue and press / to select its range. Increase in the
range will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent
colors.
Please refer to the illustration to the right
for how the colors relate to each other.
For example, if you select Red and set its
range at 0, only pure red in the projected
RED
picture will be selected. Increasing its
range will include red close to yellow and
red close to magenta.
5. Press to highlight Saturation and
adjust its values to your preference by
pressing /. Every adjustment made
will reflect to the image immediately.
For example, if you select Red and set its
value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.
6. Press to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by
pressing /. The contrast level of the primary color you select will be
affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

Maintenance
Care of the projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular
basis is to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if
other parts need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with
lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.
CAUTION
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown
procedure as described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 35 and unplug the
power cord.
• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral
pH detergent. Then wipe the case.
CAUTION
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the
case.
Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the
instructions below:
• Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the
recommended range for the projector. Please refer to"Specifications" on page
51 or consult your dealer about the range.
• Retract the adjuster feet.
• Remove the battery from the remote control.
• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.
Transporting the projector
It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.
Maintenance43
Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is
automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the
equivalent lamp hour is as follows:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in Normal mode)
See "Setting Lamp mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in Normal mode.
That is, using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/
3.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1.Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the SYSTEM SETUP:
Advanced menu is highlighted.
2.Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp
Settings page displays.
3.You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.
4.To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.
You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
Extending lamp life
The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 3000-4000
hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the
following settings via the OSD menu.
Setting Lamp mode as Economic
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If
the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in
darker projected pictures.
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To
set Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings >
Lamp mode menu and press / .
Setting Auto Power Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is
detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off
menu and press / . The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute
increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select
Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.
Maintenance44
Timing of replacing the lamp
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time
to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp
may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may
explode.
CAUTION
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too
hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator
still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on
page 49 for details.
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
