A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight
performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior
uniformity and edge-to-edge definition.

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 DMD™ chip resolution identifies the DOMINO-H projector:
1024x576 pixel for DOMINO 20-H model and 1280x720 pixel
for DOMINO 30-H model. For both models the high contrast
ratio deliver on the screen an even more realistic image.

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 sa­tellite 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

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 –
ensures 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 operating hours may already be at between
30 and 60.

In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control
department 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 standard tests.

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

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.

Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as
this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected

6 CONNECTIONS

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

In this case connect the R, G, B (or Y, Cr, Cb) outputs of the

from a source equipped with an SCART connector can be con­nected to this input.
Component signals are connected to inputs Y, Cr and Cb, tak­ing care to observe the correspondence with the outputs on
the source. The video signals that can be connected to this
input can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz
(standard video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scan­ning video, high definition video).
Some sources provide the facility to choose between a pro­gressive signal or an interlaced signal. Although in general a
progressive signal is higher quality than an interlaced signal, it
is often preferable to perform the deinterlacing operation on
the DOMINO -H projector rather than on the source because
the projector is equipped with Faroudja’s sophisticated direc-
tional correlation deinterlacing technology (DCDi™).

Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI™ input, in­ternal processing by the projector separates the video information
from the audio information. This information is then made available
via an optical digital output with a female TOSLINK connector in ac-

HDMI™

cordance with the S/PDIF standard.

MOTORISED PROJECTION SCREEN OUTPUT

With this input it is possible to integrate the optimal quality of a digital
image with a multichannel audio signal.
The HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) in fact integrates a
multichannel audio signal with the uncompressed high definition video
signal.
The interface also allows the exchange between the video source
and the HT system of control data to optimise the quality of the pro­jected image.

Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without
affecting white areas.
To ensure correct adjustment, it may prove useful to display
the signal relative to the grey scale, within which the white level
and the level immediately below it must be separately
identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed of well-lit white
objects surrounded by light coloured objects with lower level
lighting.

COLOR

This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases
the picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images
will be shown in black and white. Increasing the value, try to
find the point at which the colours look natural: suitable
references include skin tones and grass in landscape shots.

TINT

Controls the purity of the colours. Basically determines the
red-green ratio of the picture.
Reducing the value will boost the red contents of the picture,
increasing the value will boost the green tones. For this
adjustment use skin tones or a test pattern image with colour
bars as a reference.

IMAGE

This menu features adjustments relating to picture position,
aspect ratio, etc.

ASPECT

This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and
aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the
displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and
three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You
can select a different aspect for each source: the selected
aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the rela­tive source is called.
You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly
pressing the key, or by pressing and a numerical key
(1...8).
The following aspects are available.

NORMAL

: this aspect stretches the 4:3 image, slightly

SCREEN CONTROL
For each aspect chosen, the SCREEN CONTROL command
allows you to reframe the screen to a variety of aspect ratios
and screen size, using an appropriate screen-masking inter­face connected to the 12 V output socket (please refer to the
screen manufacture's manual)

COLOR TEMPERATURE

Changes the colour balance of the image.
Colours can be adjusted towards the red end of the spectrum
(low colour temperature values - expressed in degrees Kelvin)
or the blue end (high values).
Colour temperature can be selected with three preset values:

any case the aspect.

POSITION

Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and
horizontally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment because
the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the

HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL KEYSTONE

To obtain maximum quality of the projected image, we
recommend the installation of the projector on a level platform
parallel and central to the screen.
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. 30)

.

If the projected images needs to be centred horizontally, the
manual lens shift adjustment allows the projected image to be
moved vertically, up or down, in relation to the centre of the
screen; the maximum adjustment being equal to half the height
of the image in either direction

(Fig. 31)

In the event you are unable to centre the image within the screen
area, tilt the projector until the image is correctly positioned.
Any keystone error can be removed by the Keystone adjustment
in the Set up menu.
The keystone adjustement helps to compensate possible
horizontal tilts of the projector.
The kyestone adjustment is not available for model DOMINO
20 H with 1080i input signal.

PROJECTION LENS

The Zoom adjustment impacts on the motorized zoom lens
allowing to increase or decrease the dimension of the projected
image. The Focus adjustment impacts on the motorized lens
focus, allowing to obtain the highest definition on the projected
image, an accurate focus setting should allow the viewer to
distinguish each pixel that create the image one from another.

The inputs with an active video signal (visible in the input
selection menu) are marked with a check symbol.
It can be also helpful to identify the input with a name chosen
by the user (for example with the name of the connected source)
rather than with the signal type.
Once chosen to have the input visible, in the drop menu, by
selecting the Name option it is possible to rename the source
in use.
This will make it easier to remember the source connected to a
specific input. You can use up to 12 alphanumeric letters to
name the source (for more details check the “Insert text” section)
