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.

Fig. 1

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).

•

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

• 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.

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.

7



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).

To activate an electric motorised screen a 12 Volt output is provi

­ded at the rear of the projector or with the optional Remote Input
Interface. This can be connected to a screen interface unit,
which can be supplied by screen manufacturers (Fig. 11).

Fig. 11

The output is activated (Voltage: 12 Vdc) when the projector is
switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the
projector is in stand-by mode.

For rear projection the screen must be translucent.
For front projection, we recommend the use of screens with low
gain specifications (i.e. 1.3 to 2). The use of high gain screens
should be avoided due to their limited viewing angle, which is
undesirable for a large audience.
Preferably, use a screen with black, non-reflecting borders,
which will perfectly frame the projected image.

Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as
this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected
image. For the true cinema experience best results are achie

-

ved with little or no ambient light.

Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as
light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to
interfere with the screen’s characteristics.

To obtain the best performance from your projector, we recom­mend the use of good quality “video cables” to the various
signal sources (75 ohm Impedance).
Poor quality cables will cause inferior picture performance.

For optimum connectivity we recommend you follow these
simple steps:

- With exception of coaxial RCA/Phono type connectors,

always double-check that the plug is inserted the correct
way round to avoid damaging the plugs or the sockets on
the projector (Fig. 15)..

MESSAGES

The following messages could appear on your screen:

No Signal

The projector does not recognise any signal sent through the
selected input.

- Check that the selected input is actually connected to
a video or graphic signal.

- Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical
specifications of your projector.

- Check the integrity of cables used to connect various
sources.

Out of range

Either the resolution or the horizontal/vertical frequency of the
input signal is too high.

- Input a signal that is within specifications.

High temperature

The projector detects temperature internally; if it is too high it
will switch itself off.

- Check temperature of the room: it must be below 35°C
(95°F)

- Check projector air vents on top and underneath the projector:
they must be free of obstruction.

- If the problem persists, consult your Dealer.

10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The projector does not require internal cleaning. There are
no user serviceable parts inside the projector. Please refer all
service requirements to qualified personnel.

Cleaning the projector’s cover:

Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
solvents or other harsh chemicals, as this will damage the
finish of the cover. Avoid direct cleaning of the rear panel’s
screen-printing.

Cleaning the lens:

The lens may be cleaned with a very soft, non-abrasive small
brush, in order to remove dust particles. Alternatively, use a soft
dry cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens cleaning)
to remove fingerprints and grease marks.

No power (Green and red LED are OFF)

- Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position

I.

- Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to

a working socket.

- Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector.

- Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type

(T 3.15A H) (Fig. 4).

- Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical assi

stance.

The lamp is not coming on

- Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning

on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down
sufficiently.

- If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has

had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance
from your nearest Dealer.

No image

- Check that the selected input is actually connected to a

active video or graphic signal.

that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and
that the aerial system is in good working order.

- Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a
video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first
generation” copy and in good condition.

- Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture per­formance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture
menu.

Incomplete image along borders (vertical and horizontal)

- Compare compatibility of video/graphic signals and techni­cal specifications of your projector.

- Press Auto (on your remote or keypad) to execute automatic
adjustments.
