Basic HT200 Information
Congratulations On Your Purchase of the HT200 Projector!
The HT200 is one of the very best Projectors available today. The HT200 enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc. The Projector can be placed on a tabletop or cart, or permanently mounted on the ceiling. You may use the Projector to project images from behind the screen. The supplied remote control can be used as wireless control and with the supplied mouse receiver to operate the mouse functions on your PC or Macintosh.
The features you'll enjoy…
Compatible with following various color systems:
NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
PAL (Western Europe and Australia/New Zealand standard)
SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
NTSC4.43 (Middle East country standard)
Superior brightness of 800 ANSI lumens with A4 size and 4.5 kilograms
The DMD and our own optical design interact in a geometric effect to increase the light usage efficiency. Now you can reproduce the 3 basic colors (RGB) required for color reproduction on a single DMD. That means superior brightness, smaller size and lighter weight.
Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference in quality!
Outstanding beauty when reproducing DVDs and other high picture-quality information sources
Faithful gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the true display capacity of the Projector.
Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of vision, there is no distortion of the screen to a trapezoid. Keystone is set at 13 degrees.
Fully compatible with true SVGA; support for XGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology of the HT200 enables it to present clear compression XGA images without any line omission.
The remote control can be used to operate your PC or Macintosh when the supplied remote mouse receiver is connected.

The Projector selects the most suitable resolutions as shown in the "Timing Chart" below according to the incoming signals from the RGB IN connector (When "RGB" is set to "STANDARD." See page 26). However, you may need manual adjustment depending on the computer or video component connected to the RGB IN connector (see pages 11 and 12). If you have any of vertical banding, noise, dot interference, or crosstalk on the projected picture, adjust clock frequency with "PICTURE ADJ" then clock phase with "FINE PICTURE" (see next page). You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the image (see page 22).
