INTRODUCTION
The Knöll HD282 Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for your choice of a superior digital image projection device. Your
new Knöll HD282 is specifically designed for home cinema applications. The HD282 sets new
standards for high-definition digital perfection, featuring true High Definition 1280x720 resolution
using the latest DLP™ technology and new DCDi video processing from Faroudja™. Calibrated
to D65 color mastering standards, the HD282 reproduces colors and details the way the director
intended. Whether you are watching movies or High Definition broadcasts or playing the latest
video game, you will enjoy breathtaking image quality.
Usage Guidelines
1. Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is turned on. The bright light may
harm your eyes.
2. Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the airflow can cause it to overheat and turn
off. If this happens, you must wait a minute before turning it back on.
3. Handle the projector as you would any product with glass components. Be especially careful
not to drop it.
4. Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods of time. If
this happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
5. Transport the
projector in a
vendor-approved
hard or soft case.
6. Do not subject
projector to
prolonged
exposure to
smoke. Smoke
may cause
damage to the
projector.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up the projector,
including 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. But here are some general guidelines.
NOTE: To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the
projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.
The projector should be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of
your video source(s), unless good quality extension cables are to be used.
When installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the
Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. Knöll recommends use of an authorized Knöll CM25
ceiling mount. The addition of a CM20+6 extension bar lowers the projector 6” per bar as
required. The ceiling mount kit may be sold separately.
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
NOTE: The projector must be at least 5.6 feet (1.7 m) from the projection 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.
Projector Positioning
The projected image becomes
larger as the distance between
the unit and screen increases.
The HD282 manual zoom allows
the distance from the screen to
be within a minimum and
maximum range. See the chart
on the next page for details. The
example on the right shows a
very large image 10’ high by
17.8’ wide. Note the bottom of
the image starts about 1.6’ above
the lens center with a horizontally
or flat mounted projector.

Rear Connector Panel
The projector provides eight discreet video connectors:
two component RCA, two S-video, one composite RCA, one M1-DA (HD, DVI, and computer),
one VESA (HD, HD component, and computer) and one component D5.
It also has a mini-jack input for a Knöll, Niles or Xantech-compatible IR repeater and an RS-232 connector
for serial control. The Command Line Interface (CLI) specifications and commands are listed in the
Appendix.
Two 3.5 mm minijack triggers
provide 12-volt
current. Trigger 1
provides a constant output while
the projector is on.
If you connect your
projection screen
to Trigger 1, 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.
Trigger 2 provides
a 4:3 aspect
trigger. When you
select 4:3 in the
Aspect Ratio menu
or from the Resize
button on the
remote, a 12v
signal will be sent
after a five second
delay. Use this
trigger for screens
with 4:3 aspect
curtains. When
you switch back to
16:9 format, the
curtains open to
reveal the entire screen.

Video Connections
1. Place the projector on a flat surface or using a ceiling mount kit, on the ceiling.
If you want to project from behind a rear projection screen, set up the projector behind
your screen.
2. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting determine
the size of the projected image. See the table on page 7 for maximum and minimum
distances for a given screen size.
3. Make sure the projector and source equipment and/or computer are turned off.
Make sure the projector is unplugged and your equipment is turned off.
WARNING: Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.
Do not use a non-Knöll ceiling mount. In the unlikely event of the bulb rupturing, thoroughly clean the
area in front of the projector and discard any edible items placed in that area
.
Connecting a Video Device
You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video games, HDTV receivers, and TV
tuners to the projector. (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.) Audio must be provided by your own speakers, as the projector has no separate audio
controls. If
there is more
than one
output, select
the highest
quality one.
