Detailed setup
.
1 Aiming the projector lens at the projection screen, place the
projector on a solid, flat surface, at a right angle (perpendic­ular) to the projection screen and parallel to the floor. Place the projector the proper distance from your viewing screen.
2 Connect your computer or video source to the projector
(refer to the appropriate section for your computer, in Chap­ter 3,
Detailed setup
, for detailed instructions).
Connector panel
3 You can simultaneously view your desktop computer moni-
tor and project computer images with the projector by con­necting your monitor to the REDRIVE port on the rear panel OUTPUTS section. (Refer to the applicable setup procedure in Chapter 3,

4 To supply power to the projector, connect the power cable
to the power port on the rear panel of the projector. Then connect the power cord to an appropriate power outlet. Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel of the projector, beside the power port. After approximately 30 seconds after the power is on, a solid-colored image is pro­jected onto your screen.
Note: You may detect a high-pitched sound as the color-
wheel and fans are reaching operating speed. Also, as you turn on the projector, you may detect a slight, crackling, electrostatic sound as the bulb illuminates. It may take up to 10 seconds for the bulb to reach full brightness.
A keystone correction of 17 degrees is built into the projec­tor to compensate for image distortion. You may want to adjust the rear feet of the projector to position the image on the screen.
5 Turn on your computer or video source. Select the desired
source for display by pressing the appropriate SOURCES button on the projector control panel or remote control. Your computer or video image then appears on the projec­tion screen. The selected SOURCES button is backlit green; all other SOURCES buttons are backlit red.
Note: For information about the operation of your external
computer or video sources, refer to the appropriate instruc­tion manual for the equipment in question.
6 Focus the projected image with the FOCUS control either on
the control panel or remote control. Adjust the image size by using the ZOOM control on the control panel or remote control. Use the projector SETUP and IMAGE menus to adjust the settings to fine-tune your projected image. (For more detailed instructions for image adjustments, see Chapter 4,
Using the projector
.
Introduction 5
Note: Whenever you connect the projector to a computer or
video source for the first time, the projector defaults to the factory settings. Due to operational differences between computers and video sources, it may be necessary to make minor adjustments to the settings. See
Image optimization
in Chapter 4,
Using the projector
for more information. The projector stores any modified settings, even when the power is turned off.
Note: Audio and video sources must be connected to the
same computer or video source to be selected simultane­ously.
7 To activate audio, connect the audio cables (from your com-
puter, compact disc player, stereo, etc.) to the STEREO port that corresponds to the source connected in step
2. The
audio source plays through speakers built into the projector. You may also connect amplified speakers or headphones to the OUTPUT connector labeled STEREO or L and R. This automatically deactivates the projector speakers.
Note: If you connect a mono or single-jack stereo source to
the left (L) audio port (with nothing plugged into the right (R) audio port), the sound emanates from both speakers.
8 Begin your presentation.
Note: For setup procedures for the Computer IR (infrared)
Receiver, refer to the separate instruction manual included in your Computer IR Receiver Kit.
