about DLP™ technology

Thank you for purchasing a Cinego projector. Cinego uses cutting-edge technology to bring you the best quality projection for your home theater.

clarity

DLP™ technology comes closer than any other display solution to reproducing the exact mirror image of its source material. That’s why images projected by DLP™ technology are always crystal clear.

The DMD chip is probably the world’s most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million hingemounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micromirrors measures less than one-ﬁ fth the width of a human hair.

When a DMD chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source,

and a projection lens, its mirrors can reﬂ ect an all-digital image onto a screen or other surface. The DMD and the sophisticated electronics that surround it are what we call Digital Light Processing™ technology.

The thousands of mirrors making up the Digital Micromirror Device at the heart of DLP™ technology are spaced less than one micron apart, resulting in a very high “ﬁ ll factor.” By minimizing the gaps between pixels in a projected image, DLP™ projection systems create a seamless digital picture that’s sharp at any size—without the pixellation or “screen door” effect apparent

in other technologies.

color

DLP™ technology reproduces a range of colors up to eight times greater than that of analog projection systems.

In televisions and home theater systems, DLP™ projection creates rich blacks and darker shades than is possible with other technologies.

You may notice that this unit is not quite as bright as a computer projector. This is because its optical color system is tailored for a cinematic experience.

reliability

DLP™ technology makes projectors, home theater systems and televisions more robust and more reliable.

tried and true

DLP™ technology is in use wherever visual excellence is in demand. In fact, it’s the only display solution that enables movie projectors, televisions, home theater systems and business projectors to create an entirely digital connection between a graphic or video source and the screen in front of you.

The result is maximum ﬁ delity: a picture whose clarity, brilliance and color must be seen to be believed.

playable formats

Your projector will play the following types of discs:

• CD • CD-R/RW • DVD-R • VCD

• SVCD • DVD-RW • DVD+RW • DVD+R*

• DVD • Picture CD

*Some DVD+R discs may not be supported.

regional code

This DVD player is designed and maunfactured for playback of region “1” encoded DVD software. This unit can play only DVD discs labeled “1” or “ALL”.



NOTE

Clearly visible on the cover of most DVDs, you’ll ﬁ nd a picture of a globe with one or more numbers on it. This number must match your DVD player’s regional code. Otherwise, the disc cannot play properly.

The Basics

setting up your projector

ﬁ nd the ideal location for your new projector

Before you use your projector, be sure you carefully consider where you are going to place it. Think about the size and shape of your screen, location of power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

NOTE



NOTE



• Place your projector on a surface with adequate ventilation. Do not put it on thick carpeting, which can restrict air ﬂ ow, or near a heat source such as a heater vent or radiator, which can cause it to overheat.

• Position your projector on a ﬂ at surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 39 inches from the projection screen.

• Your desired picture size will determine how far away from the screen you should position your projector. The farther back you place the projector, the larger your picture will be (see page 27).

CAUTION: DO NOT place your projector directly on a varnished wood surface. This projector produces a large amount of heat over time and will discolor wood furniture.

CAUTION: DO NOT move your projector at all while the lamp is hot. Wait until your projector has cooled before you change its position or adjust its height.

keystone

Keystone is a term we use to describe what happens when a projector is not aligned properly with the screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image shape resembles a trapezoid rather than a square.

aspect ratio

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the projected picture’s width to its height. For example, the ratio of this rectangle is w:h.

Widescreen pictures have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (or sixteen by nine). Full screen pictures have an aspect ratio of 4:3 (or four by three). DVD movies should be marked either wide screen or full screen. We suggest that you set your aspect ratio to 16:9 for wide screen movies and 4:3 for full screen movies.

To adjust keystone and aspect ratio, access the Display menu as described below.

frequently asked questions

I have just connected my TV or VCR. Why isn’t my picture quality as good as when I play a DVD?

Most TVs and VCRs produce analog pictures. Your projector is designed to give you crystal clear graphics when you use it in conjunction with a device that produces a digital picture. Try using the built-in DVD player or a satellite or HDTV system. Also consider purchasing the HDTV tuner that was specially designed for use with your projector.

I have just connected my gaming console, digital video camera, PC, tuner, HDTV, or satellite TV system. Why won’t my projector work now?

You may need to change your video source manually, especially if you have more than one source connected to your projector. Press SRC (source) on the remote or projector. Choose the source associated with the peripheral device you have connected and want to use.

I was just using my projector and noticed it gets hot!

Your projector produces a lot of heat over time. Allow the projector to cool down for three minutes after using it before you touch it or try to put it away. Do not attempt to change the lamp until you have allowed the projector to cool for about one hour.

Beyond the Basics

Why is the picture fuzzy?

First, make sure the projector is at least 39 inches away from the screen. Then, try focusing it.

Why can’t I see the picture very well? It looks washed out and it’s barely visible.

If there is too much ambient light in the room, the picture may become difﬁ cult to see. For example, if you are trying to operate the projector during the day or in a well lit room, the light can interfere with the projected image. Try turning off the lights, closing the drapes, or moving to a darker room.

How do I know when to change the lamp?

Access the About menu and look at the lamp life counter. When the lamp life counter nears 2000 hours, we suggest you replace the lamp. After you have done so, access the Advanced menu and reset the lamp life counter.

Why does the message, “Lamp life time up/Replacement suggested” keep ﬂ ashing every ﬁ ve minutes?

This message automatically pops up when you have reached 2000 lamp hours. Replace the lamp and then access the Management menu to reset the lamp life counter.

Why does my projector keep making noise after I turn it off?

The projector must complete its power down sequence. Included in the power down sequence is an auto cooling cycle to preserve the lamp. Do not unplug your projector during this cycle. By doing so, you will shorten the lamp life.

Why is the picture wider on the top than on the bottom?

Keystone is a term we use to describe what happens when a projector is not aligned properly with the screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results is a trapezoid rather than a square. Try adjusting the height adjuster to correct the image or go to page 29 to learn how to adjust the keystone itself.

Why is the picture stretched out or scrunched up?

Check your DVD to ﬁ nd out if it is wide screen or full screen. For wide screen, set your aspect ratio to 16:9. For full screen, 4:3. See pages 28 and 29 for more information.

I have my projector set to Economy Mode. Why is it telling me to replace the lamp after only 2000 hours? Isn’t it supposed to last for 3000 hours in Economy Mode?

When your projector is set to Economy Mode, it calculates only fractions of hours. For example, three hours in Economy Mode will be calculated as only two hours.
