This kit contains:

• an NEC VT560 projector

• a T20 TORX® security key

• a 7/16" nut driver

• 3 TORX button-head screws, flat washers and split
washers (if required)

• 3 spacers (if required)

• 4 replacement tie wraps

•a Projector Mount Location Guide

Tools required (but not supplied):

• small wire cutters for snipping tie wraps

• a 3/16" or 5/32" flat screwdriver (for adjusting focus)

Use these instructions to replace the NEC VT560 projector in a 2000i-DVX. Note that you will reuse the screws, washers
and spacers that secure the original projector to the cabinet, so keep track of them. However, three replacement sets of
screws, washers and spacers are included in the kit.

To replace the NEC VT560 projector in a 2000i-DVX, complete the following tasks:

1. Remove the original projector (and projector plate) from the cabinet (this page).

2. Install the replacement projector in the cabinet (page 4).

3. Align the projected image (page 6).

4. Check projector settings (page 15).

CAUTION

Complete these procedures only with the assistance of another person, who must support the projector
while you remove the original projector and while you install the new one. Otherwise, the projector may
fall and sustain damage.

To remove the original projector

1. If you need better access to the rear of the cabinet, retract the anti-tip feet and unlock the wheels by raising the caster
tab locks on each wheel. Then roll the unit away from the wall. Press the caster tab locks down to lock the wheels
again, and then extend the anti-tip feet.

2. Using the height-adjustment handle, raise the unit to allow easier access to the projector.

3. Shut down the computer, and then press and hold the Lamp Off button in the Control Panel until the screen turns black
(approximately three seconds). Release the button and the projector lamp powers off in 60 seconds.

4. Unplug the 2000i from the power outlet.

IMPORTANT

Take note of the cable connectors as you disconnect them, as you’ll connect them to the same ports in
the replacement projector.

6. Using a pair of small wire cutters, snip the plastic tie wraps that secure the cables to the projector plate (if necessary).

CAUTION

When using wire cutters to cut a tie wrap, be very careful not to gouge the adjacent cables.

7. While a second person supports the projector, use the security key to loosen and then remove the four button head
screws (and the accompanying flat and split washers) that hold the projector/projector plate assembly to the two sides
of the projector platform. Carefully collect and place the four screws and eight washers nearby, as you’ll need them
when you install the replacement projector.

CAUTION

A second person must support the base of the projector during the entire removal process. Otherwise,
the projector could fall and sustain damage.

3. Place the projector plate over the three spacers, and then insert the three sets of TORX security button-head screws,
split washers and flat washers (removed in the previous procedure) through the slots in the plate and into the three

4. Tighten the screws with the security key.

5. Note the Mount Location label on the projector (near the projector service label), and make sure you position the
replacement projector in the indicated number and letter mount positions. You can also find the number and letter
mount locations in the Projector Mount Location Guide provided with the replacement projector.

6. While a second person holds the projector (and its attached plate) in place, use the security key to secure the assembly
to the appropriate number and letter locations on the left and right sides of the platform, using the four sets of button­head screws, split washers and flat washers you removed previously. Make sure the screws are tightly secured.

NOTE: Depending on the height of the projected image, further adjustments may be necessary later on. If the image is
too low on the screen (with a gap of 3.5" or greater between the image and the top frame of the cabinet), you may need
to raise the projector to a higher screw location. This adjustment is discussed in detail on page 9 (step 6).
