UNPACKING
Remove the NR Series unit from the shipping container and examine it for any signs of shipping
damage or missing items (check inventory list
below). All shipping materials should be saved if
the unit is to be moved or returned for service.
INSTALLATION
The processor can be either placed on a table or
rack mounted. If the rack mounting installation kit
is used, the rack mount ears are mounted by using
3 screws. It will be necessary to support the rear of
the unit if it will be shipped in the rack by using
rack support rails supplied by the rack manufacturer.
VENTILATION
The unit uses convection to cool. A fan is not
needed. As hot air raises out of the top vent, cool
air is drawn in from the bottom. These vents must
not be blocked. When rack mounted, a minimum
of 1.75” (1 rack unit height) of free space is
required above and below the unit to allow for
proper cooling. A forced air fan should be added
to the rack installation if power amps are located in
the same air space.

CONNECTIONS
Because of the high performance of the NR Series
unit it is very important to use the highest quality
cables possible, for both input and output signals.
Both the RGB BNC and the D15 Monitor output
connections are active at all times and can run two
displays simultaneously.
To avoid AC ground loop problems, the source
equipment, NR Series unit and projector should all
be running on the same grounded AC power line
(one rated for the power requirements).
SOURCE INPUTS
1. S-Video (Y/C) sources such as DVDs, Satellite
systems, S-VHS tape decks (when using S-VHS
tapes only), Hi-8 tape decks.
2. Composite video sources such as Laserdisc
players, cable TV, VHS tape decks, 8mm tape
decks.
3. Interlaced Component (480i) or RGBs video
sources such as DVDs and professional
cameras. (Will not accept progressive or HDTV
signals)
4. High scan rate sources such as HDTV signals or
computers as a pass-through to the projector.
YPrPb from HDTV sources can be transcoded
to RGBHV on the output.
OUTPUTS
15. D15F connector for use with computer moni-
tors or to a second display device.
16. BNC connectors for main output to display
devices. For YPrPb outputs use:
Red = Pr
Green = Y
Blue = Pb
Note: If HDTV or Computer signals are to be
used, the projector must have separate
H & V sync cables installed.
CONTROL
17. 12V trigger to activate automatic screen relays.
Voltage is constant when unit power is on.
18. IR receiver connection allows for use with
external IR receivers so unit can be installed
behind walls.
19. RS232 D9F connection for use with RS232
control systems
10. AC Power connection.
Note: Be sure to set the proper screen shape
for the installation before beginning
any other adjustments. See the Setup
menu list.
