Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The XD20A
Data Projector
The XD20A is one of the most spectacular data projectors available
today. The unit enables you to project precise images up to 200
inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh
computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document camera, laser
disc player, DVD player, etc.
The unit can be placed on a tabletop or cart. The unit can also be
used to project images from behind the screen.
*
* Consult your dealer for more information.
The other main features you’ll enjoy
• Compatible with following various color systems:
– NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
–PAL (Western Europe standard)
– SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
– NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)
• Superior brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens, small size, and
weighing only about 1.5 kilograms/3.3 lbs.
Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical
design we have developed a geometric effect that increases the
light usage efficiency . By increasing the light usage ef ficienc y we
can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for
color reproduction on a single DMD. This 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 sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors
when reproducing DVD video and other high pictur e-quality
data/video sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image
displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the
true image display quality of the unit.
• 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 keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of
vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the keystone correction function.
• Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these
projectors to present clear compression SXGA images without any
line omission.
•A remote control that can operate the PC or Macintosh
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a
wireless mouse control to operate the PC or Macintosh connected to the unit.
• The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary
design complements any office, board room, or auditorium.

Installation
The distance from the unit lens to the screen determines to the size of the projected image, therefore, you need to consider the place where you set
up the unit and screen before making connections. You also need to consider the screen size and height of the unit and screen as other important factors.
Tip
A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.
WARNING
• Carrying the unit
Always carry the unit in the carrying case. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected
before moving the unit. When moving the unit or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the sliding lens cap.
• Only use the unit on a solid flat level surface. If the unit falls to the ground, you may be injured and the unit may severely be damaged.
• Do not use the unit where temperatures vary greatly. The unit must be used at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).
• Do not expose the unit to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
•
Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around the unit to allow heat dissipation. Do not cover the vents on the bottom or the side of the unit.
Installation Guidelines (normal installation)
This section explains how to determine the screen size you use. Use the following table and charts as a guide.
Optimum focal point from the lens surface is as follows:
3.9 feet - 30.8 feet / 1.2 m - 9.4 m
Notes
• The range of error is +/- 5% because the distances are calculated values.
•Move the unit to the position where the projected image is horizontally centered to the screen.
• Do not use the unit where temperatures vary greatly. The unit must be used at temperatures
between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).
•To raise the projection position, place the unit on the stable table.
• If strong light falls on the remote sensor , the remote control may not function. Do not place the
unit in direct lightning.
•For best results, do not expose the screen to direct sunlight or strong light.

Notebook computers and resolution
standards
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or XGA
(eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry standards. They use whatev er timing is necessary to match their
local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By
turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit
more like the real VESA or XGA signal.
Outputting Notebook Type Personal
Computer External Output Signals
When a notebook type personal computer is connected for use in
projecting, a certain amount of knowledge is necessary for cable
connection, startup and the succeeding operations. Please refer to
the instruction manual of your notebook type personal computer
when performing the following operations.
1. Make sure that this device is receiving signals
from your notebook type personal computer.
The external signal may not be output even though the LCD
screen of the notebook type personal computer indicates such
output. Check by using the INFORMATION menu displayed
by this device (page 20, 21).
If 0kHz is displayed, there is no external output signal from the
personal computer.
2. If the notebook type personal computer is not
outputting the external signal, perform the following operation.
For IBM PC/AT machines, press either the [Fn] key or one of
the [F1] - [F12] keys.
Note
When displayed on the LCD screen of a notebook type personal
computer and this device at the same time, the projected video
may not be correct even the LCD screen display is normal. In
such case, turn off the notebook type personal computer display
and try using only the external output mode. (In some cases,

Procedure
• Is the power plug connected to the power outlet?
• Is the lamp cover correctly installed?
• Is the internal temperature too high? A protective feature prevents the
power turning on when the internal temperature is too high.
• Has the lamp usage time exceeded 1100 hours? The power will not turn
on when 1100 hours have elapsed.
•Any high-tension noise to the power line with extremely high pulse can
stop the projector. If it happens, unplug the power cord from the outlet
once and then plug it again.
• Has the connected input been selected?
• Is the cable correctly connected to the input jack?
•Are the brightness and contrast set to minimum?
• Is the sliding lens cap closed?
• Is the lamp blown?
• Has the lamp usage time exceeded 1100 hours?
• If a notebook type computer is being used, was the computer power turned
on after the projector was connected? Is the computer set to disable output to the external RGB jack?
In many cases, when a notebook type computer is connected to the projector, a signal will not be output to the RGB OUT jack unless the computer power is turned on.
• Does the STATUS indicator blink?
• Is installation correct?
•Was the Keystone adjustment performed correctly?
• Is the lens properly focused?
•Are the screen and projector positioned at the correct angle?
• Does the projection distance place the screen outside the focus range?
• Is there condensation, dirt, etc., on the lens?
Condensation on the internal optical system is possible when the projector has been stored in a cool place and then is used in a warm place. In
such cases, wait several minutes for the condensation to evaporate.
•Correctly adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the screen.
• Is the clock frequency correctly adjusted?
•Are the resolution and frequency correct for the input signal? Check the
resolution of the personal computer.
• Does the send indicator (LED) light? If it does not light, the batteries are
exhausted. In such cases, replace with fresh batteries.
• Is there any obstacle between the remote control and the photoreceptor
of the main unit?
• Is the remote control being used outside its effective range?
• Is there a fluorescent light or other str ong light sour ce close to the photoreceptor?
• Is the MOUSE jack of the main unit and the personal computer correctly
connected?
•Was the personal computer started after being connected to the MOUSE
jack of the main unit?
• Check the STATUS indicator list.
• Manually adjust the clock frequency and phase.
•Press the AUTO button.
