1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing a projector,
a SIM2 Multimedia SpA product (Fig. 1).
2
A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so
called “rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better
colorimetry and a lower black level to the image.
The renowned DCDi™
technology is adopted for deinterlacing:
conversion from interlaced to progressive produces a smooth
and natural image, without flickering, loss of vertical resolution
and jaggedness along diagonal lines.
The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans – en
-
sures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability.
To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the
use of a good quality screen and surround-sound system.
Contact your nearest authorized
SIM2 Multimedia dealer for
further details.
SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing in order
to guarantee the maximum product quality.
For this reason, when you start using the product lamp ope
-
rating hours may already be at between 30 and 60.
In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control depart
ment performs additional statistical tests at the time of
shipment.
In this case the packing may show signs of having been
opened, and the accumulated lamp operating hours may
be slightly higher than the hours associated with the stand
ard tests.

Using the very latest in DLP™ technology, this projector has
been designed specifically for high quality “Home Cinema”
applications.
Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs
enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD
players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital sa
-
tellite receivers and personal computers etc.
The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to
be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like
installation (Fig. 2).

Please follow carefully the warnings listed below, to ensure safe
and long term performance of your projector.
• Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal
voltage within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz,
earthed (Fig. 3).
100-240 Vac
50/60 Hz

•
The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when
installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily ac
cessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket. If
the system is ulikely to be used for a number of days, disconnect
the power cable and other apparatus connected to it.
• To save energy, switch off the projector by using the power
switch at the rear; when in stand-by (red light on) the
projector continues to draw a minimal amount of power.
• Only replace the safety fuse (on the power socket at the rear
of projector) with a fuse identical in type and characteristics
(T 3.15A H) (Fig. 4).

• Do not switch on your projector when flammable liquids or
fumes are present. Do not pour or drop fluids in the vents.
• Do not use the projector when the room temperature is
above 35°C (95°F).
• Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets on the top cover, or the
air outlets underneath the projector.
• Do not switch on the projector if it is standing on soft sur
faces such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and
carpets: the air cooling outlets underneath could become
obstructed.
• Do not switch-on the projector if it is standing on surfaces
sensitive to heat, as this may result in damage caused by
the hot air outlets underneath. Should this be unavoidable
take extra precaution of protecting the surfaces with a layer
of heat resistant material.
• Intense Light Source! Do not stare directly into the projection
lens as possible eye damage could result. Be especially
careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
• Do not open the projector’s cover; no user serviceable parts
are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Opening the projector’s cover will invalidate warranty
.
• Take care not to shake the projector whilst carrying it by the
handle.
• Always position the projector away from direct heat sour
-
ces.
• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.
• The projector must be positioned on a stable, suitable pla
tform or be installed using a bracket for fixed ceiling or wall
installation. Do not rest the projector on the side panels or
on the rear panel when in operation.
• Take care to position cables safely, especially in dark places,
in order to avoid a trip hazard.
• For installations using a ceiling or wall-mounted bracket, ca
refully follow the installation and safety instructions provided
with the bracket’s literature.

• Please remove batteries from the remote control if not in
use for a long period of time.
• A special EVC socket on the projector’s rear panel will allow
connection to the optional Remote Input Interface (a special
cable is required).
This is not to be confused with a VESA “Plug & Display”.
Never connect a computer to this socket, as the projector
and the computer may be damaged.

3 PACKAGING AND CONTENTS
To unpack the projector safely and easily please follow steps 1
to 4, as per drawing (Fig. 5).
It is recommended that the carton and packaging is retained
for future use and in the unlikely event that your projector needs
to be returned for repair.
The carton should contain the following:
- the projector
- the remote control
- four 1.5V AAA batteries (for remote control)
- three power cables (EU, UK, USA)
- the user manual.

Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the
optional bracket for a fixed ceiling or wall installation.
CAUTION: In the case of ceiling or wall mounting using a
suspension bracket, follow the instructions carefully and
comply with the safety standards you will find in the box
together with the bracket. If you use a bracket different to
the one supplied by SIM2 Multimedia, you must make sure
that the projector is at least 65 mm (2-9/16 inch) from the
ceiling and that the bracket is not obstructing the air vents
on the lid and on the bottom of the projector.
Adjust the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up
the base of the projected image to the base of the projection
screen (Fig. 6).

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen: the
size of the projected image is determined by the distance from
the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting. See
“Appendix C”: Projection distances” for more information.
Use the motorised lens zoom to adjust the image size and the
motorised lens focus to achieve maximum clarity. With optimum
focus you should be able to clearly see each single pixel when
within close proximity to the screen (Fig. 7).
