The MultiSync MT830/1030 is one of the very best LCD
projectors available today. The multiple LCD panels enable
you to project precise images up to 300 inches (762 cm)
across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh
computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, DVD player, document camera, or even a laser disc player.
You can use the projector on a tabletop or cart, you can
permanently mount it on a ceiling*1, or you can use
MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector to project images
from behind the screen. The remote control can be used
wirelessly or with a cable, and you can even use the remote
control with the built-in remote mouse receiver to operate the
mouse on your PC or Mac. But best of all, the MultiSync
MT830/1030 is an NEC LCD projector. That means you can
depend on years of reliable performance and crystal-clear
presentations!

•White balance control allows you to adjust the brightness
and contrast for each RGB color.
•You can choose between video modes depending on your
source: "normal" for a typical picture, "natural" for true
color reproduction, and "camera" for use with a document
camera or low APL picture.
•The optional MT Viewer kit allows you to start your
presentation even when a PC is not available at the site.
•The "image capture" enables you to use the entire picture
as a background image or to create slides (optional MT
Viewer required).
•An image can be projected from in front or behind a
screen, and the projector can even be installed on the
ceiling.
•NEC Technologies' exclusive AccuBlend intelligent pixel
blending technology - an extremely accurate image compression technology - offers a crisp image with SXGA

This section describes how to set up your MultiSync MT830/
1030 LCD projector and how to connect video and audio
sources.
Setting Up Your MultiSync MT830/
1030 LCD Projector
Y our MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector is simple to set up
and use. But before you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which
you can project your image.
Carrying The LCD Projector Always carry your LCD projec-
tor by the handle. Ensure that the power cord and any other
cables connecting to video sources are disconnected before
moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is
not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.
Selecting A Location The further your LCD projector is from
the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the
image can be is approximately 0.5 m (20") measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 1.0 m from the wall or
screen. The largest the image can be is 7.6 m (300") when the
projector is about 12.2 m from the wall or screen.
Attaching the lens cap to the lens hood
with the supplied string and rivet.

Using A Tabletop Or Cart
1. Place your LCD projector on a flat level surface at the
optimal distance from the screen or wall so you realize the
size image you want. (A void having bright room lighting or
sun light directly on the screen or wall where you'll be
projecting the image.)
2. Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the
projector on. (If no input signal is available, the projector will
display a background image.)
(A) Top view

3. Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.
4. Move the projector left or right to center the image horizontally on the screen. (A)
5. To center the image vertically (B), lift the front edge of the
projector and press the buttons on the front of the projector,
just above the feet, to release the one-touch tilt feet. (There is
approximately 10.5˚ of up and down adjustment for the front
of the projector. )
6. If a trapezoidal distortion appears on the screen, use the
KEYSTONE button on the remote control or select Keystone from the menu to correct the distortion.
If necessary, adjust the front or rear feet so that the lens
surface is parallel to the screen. If you use the projector with
the screen tilted, the picture will be distorted. Each of the rear
feet height can be changed up to 4 mm.
7. Increase or reduce the size of the projected image by press-
ing the "Zoom" (+) or (–) buttons on the remote control or
top of the cabinet.

WARNING
•
Only use your LCD projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.
•Do not use the LCD projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 0˚C and 40˚C.
•Do not expose the LCD projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.
•Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your LCD projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the side or
the front of the projector.
Ceiling Installation
Installing your MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC
dealer for more information.
Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.
NOTE : Distances may vary ±5%.

If your projector is mounted on the ceiling and your image is
upside down, use the “Menu” and “Select” buttons on your
projector cabinet or (▲) (▼) buttons on your remote control to
correct the orientation. (See page E-32.)
Reflecting The Image
Using a mirror to reflect your LCD projector's image enables
you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if
you need a mirror.
If you're using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the
“Menu” and “Select” buttons on your projector cabinet or (▲)
(▼) buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation.

Rear Screen Projection
You can use your MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD projector to
project an image from the rear onto a transparent screen. The
distance the projector must be from the screen is the same as if
you were projecting the image from the front. Contact your
NEC dealer if you need a transparent screen.
If you're projecting the image from the rear and your image is
inverted, use the “Menu" and "Select" buttons on your projector
cabinet or (▲) (▼) buttons on your remote control to correct the
image. (See page E-32 .)

Remote Control Guideline
1. Plug the serial cable with the mouse output port of the projector into your computer's mouse port and restart your computer to
gain remote mouse control.
2. When using the remote control's built-in infrared mouse on a laptop computer, the laptop's mouse, trackball or trackpad will be
disabled. Disconnect the serial cable from the mouse output port and restart your computer to regain trackball or trackpad
mouse control.
3. If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power
management software.
4. If you accidentally hit the OFF button on the remote control, wait one full minute and then press the ON button to resume.

Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh
Computer
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync
MT830 (SVGA)/1030 (XGA) Projector will enable you to
project your computer's screen image for an impressive presentation. All of these following display standards are supported:
VGA 6402480 for graphicsVGA 6402400 for graphics
VGA 6402350 for graphicsVGA 7202400 for text
VGA 7202350 for textSuperVGA 8002600
Macintosh at 6402480Macintosh at 8322624
XGA10242768Macintosh at 10242768
SXGA128021024 (AccuBlend)
To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an
XGA/SVGA /VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter,
simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer .
2. If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need
to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your
computer's owner's manual for your XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual
that comes with your new graphics board for installation
instructions.
3. Use the signal cable that's supplied to connect your PC or
Macintosh computer to the projector. For a Macintosh, use
the supplied pin adapter to connect to your Mac's video port.
4. Turn on the projector and the computer.
5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may
be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've
connected to the projector.
When using a Macintosh with the MT830/1030, set the DIP
switches of the supplied pin adapter according to your resolution. After setting, restart your Macintosh.
See the following pages for setting of the DIP switches.
•
When using with a Macintosh, XGA/VGA/SVGA is recommended if your Macintosh supports this mode.
• When using with a Macintosh PowerBook, output may not
be set to 10242768 unless “mirroring” is off on your
PowerBook. Refer to owner’s manual supplied with your
Macintosh computer for mirroring.
NOTE: A Video Adapter cable manufactured by Apple Computer is needed for a PowerBook which does not have a mini DSub 15-pin connector.
NOTE: For settings other than display modes supported by your
Macintosh and MT830/1030, use of the DIP switch may bounce a
image slightly or may display nothing. If this happens, set the DIP
switch to the 13” fixed mode and then restart your Macintosh. After
that, restore to a displayable mode and then restart the Macintosh
again.
Make sure that the MT830/1030 and your Macintosh ar e connected
with the pin adapter and the supplied signal cable (mini D-Sub 15pin connector) and then restart your Macintosh.

Changing Video Resolutions
Depending on your computer's graphic capability , you may be
able to select one of several resolutions. Generally a computereither a PC or Macintosh- with 1 meg. of memory will run:
6402480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor)
8002600 at 65 thousand colors.
10242768 at 256 colors.
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run
decreases. With 2 meg. of memory a computer will run:
6402480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
8002600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).
10242768 at 65 thousand colors.
128021024 at 256 colors.

Notebook Computers And Resolution Standards
NEC projectors are designed to project industry standardized
video such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association)
or VGA (Video Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not
use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary
to match their local LCD display. The end result is typically
not standards. By turning off your notebook's display, the
timing parameters are a bit more like the real VESA or VGA
signal.
For an optimal projected image with a notebook computer, it
is recommended that you use the Auto mode. This feature is
useful when an XGA image (10242768) is displaying with a
notebook computer supported by SXGA (128021024) and
when an SVGA image (8002600) is displaying with a note
book computer supported by XGA (10242768). See Source
Menu on page E-28 for more information.

1030 LCD Projector free from dust or dirt and should be cleaned
after every 100 hours of operation (more often in dusty conditions).
If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may overheat.
NOTE: Clean your filter after every 100 hours of operation.
CAUTION
• Turn off the main power and unplug the projector before
replacing the filter.
• Only clean the outside of the filter cover with a vacuum
cleaner.
• Do not attempt to operate the projector without a filter
cover.
• Your LCD projector will not operate unless the filter cover
is installed correctly .
T o clean the air -filter:
Vacuum the filter through the filter cover.
T o replace the air-filter:
1. Remove the filter cover by pushing up on the catch of the
cover with a flat-head screwdriver until you feel it detach.
2. Reinstall the new filter cover.
NOTE: Do not detach the sponge from the filter cover. Do not
wash the filter cover with soap and water. Soap and
water will damage the filter membrane.
Before replacing the filter cover, remove dust and dirt
from the projector cabinet. Keep out dust and dirt
during filter replacement.
Remote Control Battery Installation
1. Press firmly and slide the battery cover off.
2. Remove both old batteries and install new ones (AA). Ensure that you have the batteries' polarity (+/–) aligned correctly.
