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.
• Use only Knoll-approved ceiling mounts.
• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected
power strip is recommended.
• 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 User's Guide.

Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for your
excellent choice of a superior digital image
projection device. Your new Knoll HD102
projector is specifically designed for home
cinema applications. The HD102 sets a high
standard using the latest DLP™ technology
and new DCDi Plus video processing from
Faroudja™. Whether you are watching
movies or High Definition broadcasts or
playing the latest video game, you will enjoy
amazing image quality.
Product specifications
To read the latest specifications on your
multimedia projector, be sure to visit our
website, as specifications are subject to
change. Visit www.knollsystems.com for
more information.
Accessories
The standard accessories that came with
your projector can be found on the
included packing list. Optional accessories
are listed in the Accessories catalog
that came with the projector and can also
found on our website. See the inside back
cover for the web address.
Connector Panel
The projector provides both computer and video
connection options, including:
• DVI (M1-DA)
• Component SD/ED/HD (RCA)
• S-video
• Composite audio/video (RCA)
The projector also provides the following
connectors:
• Audio out
• 12-volt DC output (see next page)
6
12-volt DC output
The 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides a 12-volt DC output. It provides a constant output while the
projector is on. It has numerous uses. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the
12-volt DC output 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. To use the 12-volt DC output, you must first remove the safety plug.
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.
• To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on
page 24. We recommend using an 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 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 27.
• The image offset is 127.3% 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 2.73’ above the center of the lens.
• See “Connecting a video device” on page 11 for additional information on 16:9 mode.
Projector and Device Connector Guide
The following illustration and table should help you find the connectors to use and obtain the best
resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players
(progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources, TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games
(progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players.
Computer connections
Computer connections involve attaching the VGA and USB ends of the provided computer cable
to a computer and connecting the other end (M1 cable end) to the Computer In input on the
projector. The USB part of the computer cable allows you to advance slides in a PowerPoint™
presentation via a remote control. See page 6 for 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. 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 (RCA)
2. S-video
3. audio/visual composite video (RCA)
If your video device has a VGA connector, you can use the DVI connector on the back of the
projector for very high quality.

Connecting a computer source
Required computer connections
Connect one end of the provided computer cable
(see page 11 for connecting video devices) to the
blue DVI Computer In connector on the projector.
Connect the other ends (USB and VESA) to the
USB and VGA ports 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. This connection allows you to
advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation
using the remote. USB drivers must be installed to
use the USB feature. For more information, see
page 10.
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 shipped with
the projector.
Optional computer connections
To have sound with your presentation, connect an audio cable (not included) to your computer
and to the red and/or white Audio In connectors on the projector.
Displaying a computer source image
Remove the lens cap. Toggle the 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 15.
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
10, 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 + F8 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on and off.
Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and
the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documentation to learn your
laptop’s key combination.
? No laptop image? Try pressing the keypad Auto Image button. Get help on page 15.
Adjusting the image
If necessary, adjust the height of the projector by
pressing the release button to extend the foot.
If necessary, rotate the leveling foot located at
the rear of the projector.
Avoid placing your hands near the hot exhaust
vent in front of the projector.
Position the projector the desired distance from
the screen at a 90-degree angle to the screen.
See page 27 for a table listing screen sizes and
distances.
Adjust the zoom or focus.
If the image is not square, adjust the keystone
using the buttons on the keypad.
