3. Important Safeguards
CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions
S
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions.
This projector has been engineered and manufactured to meet
applicable safety standards. IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order
not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this projector,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and
servicing.
1.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning or
lamp replacement.
2.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft dry
cloth to clean the projector unit. If the unit is very dirty, wet a
cloth with neutral detergent, squeeze it tight, wipe the unit
with it, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth.

can adversely affect the unit and peel the paint.
3.
Do not use attachments not recommended by PHILIPS, as
they may cause hazards.
4.
Do not use the projector near water- for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into
the projector.
5.
Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or
table. The projector may fall, which may cause serious injury
to a child or an adult and/or serious damage to the unit. Use
only with a cart or stand recommended by its manufacturer
as being suitable for use with a projector.
6.
Ceiling, wall or shelf mounting should be done with a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer for use with a
projector and should follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
7.
Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.
8.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered. These openings should never be covered with cloth
or other material. The bottom opening should not be blocked
by placing the projector on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar

a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper
ventilation is provided.
9.
The projector should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the bottom of the projector or in
the specifications and with the appropriate power cord. If you
are not sure of the type of power supplied to your business
or the right type of power cord, consult your projector dealer
or local power company.
10.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not
place the projector where the cord will be walked on.
before you operate your projector.
Save these instructions for future
reference.
12.
As a safety feature, this projector is equipped with power
cord with a 3-pin grounded plug (for USA-versions only) or a
2-pin grounded plug (for European versions only). The 3-pin/2pin grounded plug will fit only into a grounding type power
outlet. If the plug does not fit, use an adapter that is properly
grounded or have an electrician install a grounded type
outlet. Do not attempt to modify this AC plug.
13.
For added protection of the projector during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended or not in use for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
any cable systems. This will prevent damage to the projector
due to lightning and power-line surges.
14.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too
many products, because this can cause a fire or electric
shock.
15.
Never push objects of any kind into the projector through
cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short cut parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock.
16.
Do not attempt to service the projector yourself other than
maintenance issues presented in chapter ‘Maintenance’.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
17.
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
A.
When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B.
If liquid has been spilled into the projector.
C.
If the projector has been exposed to rain or water.
D.
If the projector does not operate normally when you
follow the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions;
improper adjustment of other controls may cause
damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the projector to normal
operation.
E.
If the projector has been dropped or the cabinet has
been damaged.
F.
When the projector exhibits a distinct change in
performance – (this indicates a need for service).
18.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the projector,
ask the service technician to perform a routine safety check
to check that the projector is in safe operating condition.
19.
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
20.
Clean the ventilation slots and speaker grills on the unit
periodically using a vacuum cleaner. If accumulated dust
blocks the ventilation slots, the unit will overheat, which may
cause the unit to malfunction.
Use a soft brush attachment when using the vacuum
cleaner. Do not use a hard attachment, such as a crevice
tool, to prevent the damage to the unit.
21.
If the lens becomes dirty or smudged, clean it with a clean,
dampened cloth. Never touch the lens with your fingers.
22.
Do not look directly into the aperture and lens while
operating the projector as this may damage your eyes.
11.

4. Projector Features
1. UGO X-lite Impact; LC5241
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.
UGO S-lite Impact; LC5231
Fully compatible with true S-VGA; support for XGA using
advanced intelligent compression technology. The advanced
intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear
compression XGA images without any line omission.
2. Ultra compact design with optical ZOOM
Superior brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens, small size, and
weighing only about 1.5 kilograms/3.3 lbs with optical zoom
function (x1.2). Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD™) and
a keen optical design a geometric effect is developed that
increases the light usage efficiency. By increasing the light
usage efficiency 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.
3. Superb picture performance
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 picture quality
data/video sources. Faithful gray scale reproduction makes
for more natural image displays. DVD and other high quality
image sources bring out the true display capacity of the unit.
4. Fully compatible with Apple Macintosh computers
(Power Book and Power Mac) as well as IBM compatible
PCs.
The projector will adapt automatically to the proper data
source. The ‘auto image’ feature automatically sizes and
positions the image to fit optimally in the screen picture.
5. High reliability and excellent brightness
The new short arc lamp guarantees long life, excellent
brightness over the lamp’s lifetime and excellent colour
reproduction. Furthermore, the projector has an excellent
uniformity of brightness over the whole screen.
The local keyboard and remote control provide direct access
buttons for those functions that are most often used during
presentations:
Input / source selection buttons
With the VIDEO and DATA buttons you can directly select
the required source: S-video, Video or Data.
Standby/On
Switches the projector in the Standby/On mode.
8. Full mirror scan conversion
The projector is equipped with a full mirror scan conversion
function (‘vertical/horizontal mirror’).
9. Digital features
The digital features of the projector are of great value for an
attractive presentation.
Digital keystone correction; A keystoned image (picture top
width larger than picture bottom width or vice versa) appears
when the relative positions of the projector and the screen
are not correct. With the ‘vertical keystone correction’
feature you can correct this picture distortion. Vertical
keystone correction is accessible in the ‘Display’ submenu of
the OSD menu.
Digital zoom; With ‘digital zoom’ a specific part of the
projected image can be enlarged. By means of the cursor
control you can pan over the screen to the desired part of the
presented image.
Digital freeze; The ‘digital freeze’ feature enables you to
capture moving pictures (still picture).
Note: The screen is 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 key-stone correction function.
10.Handy and ergonomical Remote Control Unit
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts
as a wireless mouse control to operate Apple Macintosh
computers (Power Book and Power Mac) as well as IBM
compatible PCs connected to the unit.
6. Excellent video quality
The projector accepts the input signal of all major video
formats, including PAL, SECAM, NTSC and the higher quality
S-Video and component (YCbCr) Video signals. The projector
will recognize these standards and adapt to them
automatically.
7. Very easy to install and operate
The OSD (On Screen Display) information screens and
menus in 8 languages provide you with additional information
to help you make the right choices about installation and
operation, and to perform the correct actions. The standard
OSD language is English. In addition you can select French,
Spanish, German, Italian, Swedish, Chinese and Japanese.
The transmitter of the wireless remote control allows you to
operate both your computer as well as your projector from
almost anywhere in the room. The directional shuttle on
the remote control function as Cursor Control and is used
to manipulate the mouse cursor on the connected computer,
as long as the menu is not active.

6. Set Up
The distance from the projector lens to the screen determines to
the size of the projected image, therefore, you need to consider
the place where you set up the projector and screen before
making connections. You also need to consider the screen size
and height of the projector and screen as other important
factors.
Tip: A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.
Warning:
• Always carry the projector in the carrying bag. Ensure that
the power cable and any other cables connecting to
Audio/Video sources are disconnected before moving the
