• The projector can be used for both front projection, rear projection and ceiling projection

applications. As default factory setting, the projector has been set up for front projection. You

can change to rear or ceiling projection via the ‘Mirror’ function in the ‘Picture’ menu.

•

6 To switch off the mains supply completely, disconnect the mains lead.

– Save energy! Please put the projector in the Power/Standby position if you are not going to use

the projector for more than 15 minutes. – When no signal inputs are detected for 30 minutes, the projector automatically switches

to Power/Standby (‘SmartSave’ - SV10 and XG1 Brilliance versions only). This setting can be

changed in the ‘Settings’ menu. – Before disconnecting the mains lead, make sure that the cooling fan has stopped

(about 3 minutes after the projector has been switched to Po

wer/Standby).

• Use the Zoom ring to adjust the size of the image.

• Use the Focus ring to adjust the focus of the image.

To raise:

• Keep button A pressed and lift to raise the projector. – The Height/Level Adjuster B will come out.

To Lower:

• Keep button A pressed and gently lower the projector.

• Use the Focus Ring and Zoom Ring to readjust the focus and size of the image.

If projector and screen are not properly lined up, the picture will be distorted, producing a

keystoned image (picture top width larger than picture bottom width or vice versa/picture left

side width larger than picture right side width or vice versa). When a keystoned image occurs

the image ratio (4:3, 16:9) will still be guaranteed (only when the projector is positioned straight in

front of the screen).This is especially important when the projector is being used together with an

‘intelligent whiteboard’.

‘Keystone correction’ allows you to correct picture distor tion of the vertical and horizontal

keystone type by internal scaling.

• Use Keystone

to heighten the image in vertical direction.

• Use Keystone 4to lower the image in vertical direction.

• Use Keystone 2to widen the image in horizontal direction.

• Use Keystone 1to narrow the image in horizontal direction. – As soon as the Keystone key is pressed, the Keystone feedback window will appear on the

screen.

• The Keystone correction function is also accessible through the ‘Keystone’ option in the

‘Settings’ menu of the On Screen Display (OSD) menu.

Preparation

1 Press the Standby button twice to put the projector in Power/Standby. – The Standby indicator starts blinking orange. 2 Wait until the cooling fan has stopped (about 3 minutes after the projector has been put in

Standby) and disconnect the mains lead and all other cables.

damaging the front of the projector lens when moving the projector.

Never place the projector on the side where the connections are located.

Moving/transporting the projector

The projector contains many glass and precision parts. If you need to transport the projector, please follow these packing instructions to prevent accidental damage to the projector.

• When you are hand-carrying the projector, be sure to use a carrying case like the softbag

supplied.

• When shipping the projector, use the original packaging material if possible. If you do not have the original packaging, use equivalent materials, placing plenty of cushioning around the projector.

• When transporting the projector as freight or checked luggage, first put it in a carrying case, then pack it in a firm box, using cushioning around the case.

1 Push and slide the lid in the direction of the arrow. 2 Install two ‘AAA’ batteries as indicated inside the batter y compar tment. 3 Replace the lid and snap it into place.

The maximum range of the remote control is approximately 15 m (± 50 feet).

Computer input

The computer input is suitable for both Apple Macintosh computers (Power Book and Power Mac) as well as for IBM compatible PCs.The projector is Microsoft (R), Windows (R) 95/98/ME/2000/XP compatible and accepts input signals from all computers that meet following specifications:

• Multi scan VGA-SXGA

• Horizontal scan rate: 15-108 kHz

• Ver tical refresh rate: 50-120 Hz

• Bandwith: 140 MHz

• Display Data Channel DDC: 1/2B

Analog (VGA) connection

The data (VGA) output of IBM compatible PCs can be connected directly to the Data 2 input of the projector using standard data cables. When connecting the projector to a Macintosh computer

equipped with a 2 row, 15 pin connector a VGA/MAC adaptor (available at your PC store) is required. If your computer is equipped with a 3 row connector no adaptor is needed.

The Data 2 input socket accepts the input signal of the following formats: 480p, 720p, 1080i, RGBHV and RGBSOG.

Digital (DVI) connection

The DVI input socket (Data 1) allows direct digital connection to your computer. Digital to analog conversion by means of an adaptor is therefore no longer necessary and the computer is automatically optimized to work with the projector, resulting in the highest possible picture quality. The socket is also backward compatible with analog computers (via the DVI-I/VGA adapter supplied) and accepts the input signal of the following formats: RGBHV (analog), RGBsog (analog) and DVI (digital).

RS-232 connection

When RS-232 connection is used the projector can be operated via a RS-232 control system and the projector status can be checked on the control system screen. See the RS-232 protocol file (ProjectorMax) on the Cd-rom on how to include projector commands in an external control system.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector allows you to connect to computers equipped with a USB interface, resulting in real hot plug and play presentation.

Mouse control:

By connecting USB, the mouse function on the Remote Control automatically gets installed. You can now manipulate the mouse cursor on the computer and on the screen, using Cursor Control on the remote control.The Mouse Left/Right keys on the remote control function as Left and Right mouse keys of your pc.

Audio (only with bSure2 Brilliance version):

Audio information from the computer will be heard via the projector speaker.

Drag and drop facility:

Drag and drop via the remote control works slightly different than via the pc mouse. Here’s how:

• Use Cursor Control to select the item to be moved.

• Press and keep pressed Mouse Left.

• Use Cursor Control to move the selected item.Then release Mouse Left.

– The item will now be moved.

• Press Mouse Left when the item reaches the required location.

– The item will now be dropped.

Theft deterrence (PC only)

The SecurityMax™ application, supplied on the Cd-rom, allows you take a number of precautions against unauthorized use of your projector. Once the application is installed, you can, for example, set your own code protected personal start-up screen and shutdown timer which make theft unattractive to any potential thief.You only need to run the Security Max™ software on the pc that is connected to your projector via the Universal Serial Bus. For this feature see the ‘Security Max’ user guide on the Cd-rom.
