3 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, thank you for choosing the HT 200/250,
a Multimedia SpA product
Using the very latest in technology (TI copyright),
this projector has been designed specifically for high quality
“Home Cinema” applications. The HT 200/250’s portability and
versatility also means it can be used to display images from
PCs for presentations, computer games and Internet.
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.
(Fig. 1)
.

Fig. 2
The realistic colour and sharpness of detail has been
obtained by a sophisticated and proprietary optical system
designed exclusively by Multimedia.
The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans –
ensures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability .
To fully appreciate your new HT projector we
recommend the use of a good quality screen and
surround-sound system. Contact your nearest authorized
Multimedia dealer for further details.
The long throw projection lens has been designed to allow
the position of the projector to be located behind the
viewer, similar to that of a real cinema

6 INSTALLATION
LOCATION OF PROJECTOR AND SCREEN
The long throw projection lens has been designed to allow
the position of the projector to be located behind the
viewer, similar to that of a real cinema
Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or
utilise the optional bracket for a fixed ceiling or wall
installation.
(Fig. 2)
.
Should the projected image appear not to be level, adjust
the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up
the base of the projected image to the base of the
projection screen
CAUTION:
using a suspension bracket, follow the instructions
carefully and comply with the safety standards you
(Fig. 21)
.
In the case of ceiling or wall mounting
will find in the box together with the bracket. If you
use a bracket different to the one supplied by

is at least 6.5 cm (2.6”) from the ceiling and that the
bracket is not obstructing the air vents on the lid
and on the bottom of the projector.
