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

Your 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 projector 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.

INSTALLATION2

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 20" (0.5 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 3 feet (1.0 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 40.03 feet (12.2 m) from the wall or screen.

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. (Avoid 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.)

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. T o center the image v ertically (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 fr ont of the projector. )

INSTALLATION

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 0.6" (4 mm).

7. Increase or reduce the size of the projected image by pressing the

"Zoom" (+) or (–) buttons on the remote control or top of the cabinet.

Notebook Computers And Resolution Standar ds

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 V GA signal.

For an optimal projected image with a notebook computer, it is recommended that you use the A uto 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 61 for more information.

This section describes the simple maintenance procedures you should follow to replace the lamp, clean or replace the filter, and replace the batter ies in the remote control.

Replacing The Lamp

After your lamp has been operating for 2000 hours or longer, the “status” light in the cabinet will go on. Even though the lamp may still be working, replace it at 2000 hours to maintain optimal projector performance.

CAUTION

• DO NOT TOUCH THE LAMP immediately after it has been used. It will be extremely hot. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool before handling.

• DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS except the lamp cover set screw and two lamp case screws. You could receive an electric shock.

• Turn off the main power to the projector and disconnect the power cord. Allow at least one hour for the lamp to cool.

• The projector will turn off and go into stand by mode after 2100 hours of service. If this happens, be sure to replace the lamp. If you continue to use the lamp after 2000 hours of use, the lamp bulb may shatter, and pieces of glass may be scattered in the lamp case. Do not touch them as the pieces of glass may cause injury. If this happens, contact your NEC dealer for lamp replacement.

MAINTENANCE

To replace the lamp:

1. Loosen the single screw that secures the lamp housing cover and remove the cover.

2. Loosen the two screws securing the lamp case.

3. Remove the lamp by pulling out the complete assembly.

4. Install a new lamp case assembly and secure it in place with the two screws.

CAUTION: Do not use a lamp other than the NEC replacement lamp. Order this from your NEC dealer using your projector's model number .

5. Reattach the lamp cover and tighten the single scre w.

6. After you install a new lamp, select the lamp Usage icon and press and hold the "Power On" button on the remote control for ten seconds to reset the lamp time clock to zero.

NOTE: If resetting the lamp clock back to zero after 2100 hours of service, pr ess the "Power Off" (not "Power On") button on the remote control for ten seconds . NOTE: When you replace the lamp, it is also wise to replace the filter. The filter comes in the same package with your replacement lamp.

Cleaning Or Replacing The Filter

The air-f ilter sponge keeps the inside of the MultiSync MT830/1030 LCD Projector free from dust or dirt and should be cleaned after ev ery 100 hours of operation (more often in dusty conditions). If the filter is dirty or clogged, your projector may ov erheat.

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 co ver with a v acuum cleaner.

• Do not attempt to operate the projector without a filter cover.
