1 INTRODUCTION

FULL HD

1920x1080

The HT5000 projector represents the state of the art in image processing
combined with the innovative DLP™ sytsem and outstanding optics.

Its range of inputs (1 Composite Video input, 1 S-Video input, 2
Components or RGB input - 4 RCA - 5 BNC, 2 Graphic RGB input, 6
HDMI™ inputs, 1 HD-SDI input, 1 DVI-D input) allow it to be connected
to a wide range of analogue and digital sources: DVD players, video
recorders, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, video game
consoles, camcorders, etc.

Its image processing system allows optimum reproduction of a wide
range of input signals, from interlaced video to high definition and
digital graphics.
Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such as high
definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of information or
reduction of image sharpness thanks to the processor’s high pixel rate
signal acquisition capabilities.

Different input signal resolutions can be adapted to match the specified
screen resolution without loss of image quality, thanks to a generous
selection of preset aspect ratios, some of which are user definable.

All picture adjustments can be made with the remote control interac­ting with a simple menu-activated On Screen Display; alternatively, the
projector can be controlled by a domestic automation system via its
serial port, by a USB 1.1 connection or by ethernet RJ45 connection.

The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by
SIM2 to ensure maximum quality.
The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours.
Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also runs
additional statistical tests before despatch.
In this instance the packaging may show signs of having been
opened, and the hours operation of the lamp may be higher than
the value required under standard procedures.

the electrical mains socket outlets are easily accessible
during installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cable,
to disconnect the unit from the mains.

• Use only the specified power supply.

Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with rated

voltage of between 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz and equipped
with a protective earth connection. If you are not sure of
your domestic mains rating, contact an electrician. Take
care to avoid overloading the power socket and any ex­tension leads.

mains power supply.

The fuse compartment is next to the power supply con-

nector. Remove the fuse holder with a flat head screwdriver
and replace the fuse. Fit a new spare fuse. Use only T 5A
H fuses.

• Be careful with cables.

Make certain cables are routed so that people will not be

impeded or tripped up.

Keep all cables away from children.

ht5000

Install the unit as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid

stepping on power cables, make certain they do not be­come tangled, and never jerk or tug them; do not expose
them to sources of heat, and make sure they do are not
knotted or crimped. If the power cables become dama­ged, stop using the system and request the assistance of
an authorised technician.

•

Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply in the
event of electrical storms and when not in use.

To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity,

disconnect the unit during storms or when the sytsem is
going to be left unused for a long time.

• Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp.

Do not use the unit near to water (sinks, tubs, etc.); do not

place objects containing liquids on or near to the unit and
do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays;
do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.

• Do not allow the unit to overheat.

To prevent this, allow a free space of at least 40 cm around

the back of the projector.
Do not block the ventilation slots.
Do not place the unit near to heat sources such as ovens,

radiators or other devices (including amplifiers).
Do not place the unit in a restricted area (shelving units,

bookshelves, etc.) and in general avoid placing it in poorly

ventilated areas as this can lead to overheating.

• Do not insert objects through the openings in the unit.

Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If this

should occour, disconnect the unit from the power supply
immediately and call an authorised technician.

Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the
optional bracket for a fixed ceiling installation.

WARNING: If using the ceiling mount bracket, scrupulously
observe the safety instructions included with the bracket
itself. If using a bracket other than that supplied by SIM2
Multimedia, make sure that the projector is at least 65 mm
below the ceiling and that the bracket does not obstruct the
air vents (intake and outlet).

If the projected image is not level, adjust the feet on its base
to obtain a level position, lining up the base of the projected
image to the base of the projection screen (Fig. 2).

Fig. 3

The motorized lens shift adjustment allows the projected image
to be moved vertically and horizontally (left or right)
The maximum adjustment is equal to half the height of the
image in either direction (Fig.3a).

Place the projector at the desired distance from the screen:
the size of the projected image is a function of the distance
between the lens and the screen and the lens zoom setting.
Use the motor zoom (Fig. 3) to zoom the projected image in
and out.
Use the motor focus function (Fig. 3) to obtain a clear image;
if the image is correctly focused, you should be able to see
each single pixel of the projected image when close to the
screen (Fig. 3).

The Orientation adjustment in the Set up menu allows you to
reverse the image vertically and horizontally (Fig. 9), to allow
the projector to be used for desktop front, ceiling front, desktop
rear and ceiling rear installations (Fig. 5).

To activate an electric motorised screen a TRIG1 output is
provided at the rear of the projector (Fig. 6).
The output is activated (Voltage: 12V) when the projector is
switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the
projector is in stand-by mode.
You can also use black motorised curtains to delimit the screen
when the projected image aspect ratio changes (Fig. 7). This
option is controlled via the output TRIG2 at the rear of the
projector.

10

For rear projection the screen must be translucent.
For front projection, we recommend the use of a screen with
black matt borders to contain the projected image.

Preferably use a unit gain screen; high gain screens are only
effective when used with a small group of viewers close to the
screen’s axis.
Prevent ambient light shining directly on the screen during
projection as this will reduce the contrast of the projected
image.
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.

6 CONNECTIONS

Fig. 11

To obtain the best performance from your projector, we recom­mend the use of good quality “video cables”.

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.

Remove cables by the plug and do not pull on the cable
itself. Avoid tangled cables.
Position the cables carefully to avoid a trip hazard espe­cially in low light areas.

Fit an RCA connector with a Composite Video (CVBS) signal
to this input.
The output connector on the external appliance is normally
coloured yellow and will often be labelled VIDEO.
Other signal and socket formats may be preferable (because
they give better image quality), but this type of output socket is
still the most commonly used, and nearly all television receivers,
video recorders, DVD players and camcorders, etc. use it.

S-VIDEO

Fit a mini-DIN connector with an S-Video signal to this input.
The corresponding output at the external device is normally
identifiable by the labels S-VIDEO or Y/C.
This type is nearly as common as Composite Video, and is
preferable to the latter, since it gives higher image quality.

RGB/YPrPb

These inputs use a set of 4 RCA connectors and 5 BNC con­nectors. RGB and Component signals can be applied to each
set of connectors. With this video signals is possible to set YPrPb
video mode.
RGB signals can have composite synchronisation on the green
signal (RGsB), or on the HV signal.
Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R,
G, B inputs of the HT5000 (taking care not to invert the positions)
and any synchronisation signals to the HV.
When hooking up, use the colours of the RCA connectors as
an aid as follows: the R connector is red, G is green, B is blue
and HV is white. You can use a SCART to RCA adapter cable to
connect the RGB signal from a source equipped with a SCART
output to this input.
The Component signals connect to the Y, Pr and Pb inputs:
take care that the inputs correspond to the outputs on the
source device.
Since these can be labelled differently, refer to Table 1 to
establish the correspondence between the various signals. As
indicated in the table, the colours of the connectors can also
be of help.
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video
resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with progressive
scanning) can be applied to this input.
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced
signals, but if the source features both progressive and deinter­laced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the quality

of the pictures reproduced by the HT5000 in the two cases: the
deinterlacing performed by the HT5000 is often more effective
than that performed by the source itself.

GRAPHICS RGB / YPRPB

This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic
signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector.
The signal source device (typically a personal computer or game
console) must be able to provide separate H/V synchronisation or
composite H+V synchronisation.

DVI-D

This input allows you to advantage from the quality of the di­gital images .If your source is equipped with a DVI-D output,
YCrCb or RGB connect it to this input to exploit the quality of
the HT500E-LINK system.

HDMI™

HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates an
uncompressed high definition video signal with a multichannel
audio signal and allows exchange of control data between the
video source and the HT5000.
The HDMI input allows connection to video sources that use the
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to
protect their contents.
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI
input, internal processing by the HT5000 separates the video
information from the audio information. The audio information
is made available on a digital output with a female TOSLINK
connector in compliance with the S/PDIF standard.
You can use a DVI-D > HDMI adapter cable to connect the
DVI-D signal from a source equipped with a DVI-D output.

SDI

HDSDI / SDI imput allow to connet digital serial sourses in com­ponent YPrPb in according of standards SMPTE292M (hight
definition) and SMPTE259M-C (standard resolution).
The signal is not compressed and it's transported by a coaxial
cable in digital mode.

Fig. 12

The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12V) for
motorised projection screen and screen masking systems, used
for masking off the projection area to match the projected
image aspect ratio (Fig. 12).
The TRIG1 output is activated when the projector is switched on
(blue LED on) and is de-activated when the projector is in stan­dby mode (red LED on). The output TRIG2 can be set with the
“Screen control” adjustment in the “Aspect” menu. This output
allows reduction in the area of a 16:9 screen, into a 4:3 format,
by activating a horizontal screen masking system.

7 REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control requires four 1.5 V batteries, size AAA.
Insert the batteries, taking care to match the polarity, as indi­cated in the battery compartment in the handset.
Change the batteries in the remote control if experiencing
difficulty in sending commands to the projector.
Remove batteries from the remote control if it is not to be used
for a long period of time. The batteries are prone to leak and
corrode the remote control’s circuits.
The remote control sends commands to the projector via
infrared signals.

Fig. 13

The projector can be controlled from a PC: simply hookup the
interface connector to a PC’s RS232 serial cable or to a PC's
USB 1.1 cable or with ethernet lan (RJ45) in according with
standard ethernet 10/100 Mbit e TCP/IP. (Fig.13)
The Ethernet RJ45 and USB control require an additional software
provided by SIM2 Multimedia.

The projector is equipped with an infrared sensor on its front
panel and can therefore be controlled by pointing the remote
control towards the projection screen; the IR beam reflects off
the screen towards the projector.
There is another infrared sensor in the rear of projector.

Do not place objects between the remote control and the
receiver on the projector, as this can prevent the remote from
working.

BRIGHTNESS

Use this control to adjust the darker areas of the picture (black
level), without significantly affecting bright areas. Increasing
the value will give more detail in darker parts of the picture. For
correct adjustment it may prove useful to display a grey scale
with at least twenty bands. Now try to reduce the brightness of
the black band as much as possible while ensuring that it can
still be distinguished from the adjacent band with brightness
slightly higher than black. Alternatively use a scene composed

objects with lower level lighting, and try to ensure that all the
objects remain separately identifiable.

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. Increase the value until the colours
appear natural: suitable references include skin tones and grass
in landscape shots.

TINT

Controls the purity of colours. Basically determines the red-green
ratio of the picture.
Decreasing the value increases the red content of the image,
increasing it increases the green. For this adjustment use skin
tones or a test card image with colour bars as a reference.

SHARPNESS

This adjustment serves to modulate the signal to increase or
decrease the level of picture detail.
When the sharpness value is reduced the image details ap­pear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises image
definition, making the outline of objects sharper.
Note that an excessively high value may result in a ‘noisy’
picture and the edges of objects may appear unnaturally
clearly defined.

SHARPNESS MODE

This allows you to select the type of processing associated with
sharpness adjustment. For an interlaced or progressive video
signal, set to

FILTER

This allows you to select the mode in which the input signal is
processed. Selecting the most appropriate value for a given
input signal ensures the best horizontal and vertical definition
and makes the picture sharper.

CONTRAST

Use this control to adjust the image’s white level without affec­ting its dark areas. For correct adjustment it may prove useful
to display a grey scale with at least twenty bands. Now try to
increase the brightness of the white band as much as possible
while ensuring that it can still be distinguished from the adjacent
band with brightness slightly less than white. Alternatively use a
scene composed of well-lit white objects surrounded by light

CINEMA MODE

Use this option if the video signal source is a movie film (obtai­ned from a Teleciné device with 3:2 or 2:2 pull-down). In this
case a deinterlacing algorithm optimized for this type of signal
is applied.
Selecting AUTO mode causes the de-interlacer to analyse si­gnal characteristics and apply the correct deinterlacing mode
automatically.

This menu features adjustments relating to picture Position,
Aspect ratio, Magnification etc.

ASPECT

This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and
aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the
displayed image. There are six 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 applied 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...9).The following aspects are available:

top and bottom. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image
on the 16:9 screen of the Display.

SUBTITLES:

PIXEL TO PIXEL

raises the image, thus making space for subtitles.

: runs a pixel to pixel mapping of any image, without
adapting to the screen. The image is projected in the centre
of the screen and if its horizontal and/or vertical dimensions
are smaller than the display, it is bounded by vertical and/or
horizontal black bands.

USER 1, 2, 3

: use this option if none of the others are satisfactory.
The User formulas give you the ability to continuously adjust the
picture size horizontally and vertically.

COLOR TEMPERATURE

Changes the colour balance of the image.
The colour temperature setting is made by setting the white point
in the CIE chromaticity diagram.
Moving it horizontally (fig.17) changes the correlated colour
temperature, with the low temperatures to the right (more red)
and high temperatures to the left (more blue). The points on
the lowest horizontal line (Fig.18) represent the colours on the
black body curve.

There are 3 predefined colour temperature settings (High, Me­dium, Low) and USER setting that allows the manual regulation.
The colour temperature is constant on the vertical lines, but is
more or less different from the black body curve. This means
that the higher points of the graph are more green.
On the contrary, the lower points of the graphic yield a more
purple image.

Values from 1.5 to 2.2 allow you to emphasise the detail of dark
images, but reduce overall contrast. Values higher than 2.2
increase overall contrast, but reduce the detail of dark areas.
Value 2.2 typically yields pleasant, contrasty images.

OVERSCAN

Eliminates irregularities around the outer borders of the image.
Some less accurate sources may produce an image with
uneven borders; thanks to the overscan function these imper­fections can be moved to outside the displayed area.

most common video sources, the overscanning value can be
in the range (no overscanning) to 32 (maximum). The resulting
image always maintains the selected aspect irrespective of
the selected overscan value.

POSITION

Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and hori­zontally.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment because
the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the
most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly
centralized it may prove useful to request the system to repeat
the input signal analysis and image positioning, calling the au­tomatic control procedure with button A on the remote control
or the

button on the keypad. When this procedure is called
it is helpful to have a white or light coloured background on the

adjustments.

Y/C DELAY

In the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessary
to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected
image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored
value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the
source or connection cable has changed.

FREQUENCY/PHASE

These adjustment ensure correspondence between the number
of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels that
make up the projected image.
These parameters do not normally require adjustment because
the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the
most suitable values. If however the image is disturbed (loss of
resolution between equidistant vertical bands or instability and
lack of detail in thin vertical lines) it may help to ask the system
to rerun the input signal analysis and set the best parameters
by calling up the automatic adjustment function with A on the

SETUP

KEYSTONE

The setup menu contains less frequently used adjustments
that may be required during installation (e.g. The display of
Test Patterns).

ORIENTATION

Reverse the image vertically and horizontally to best fit the
installation: i.e. desktop front, ceiling front, desktop rear and
ceiling rear (Fig.19).

Fig.19

KEYSTONE

This adjustment compensate the image distortion caused by
tilting the projector. We recommend installing the projector on
a surface which is perpendicular to the screen and use LENS
SHIFT adjustment to centre the image. Tilt the projector and use
Keystone correction only when necessary.

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.
In the initial phase of installation the configurable keys (F1, F2)
serve as optical zoom and optical focus.

LAMP POWER

If your room is especially dark, the images from the system
HT5000 could result execessively bright. In order to enjoy won­derful images, the LAMP POWER allows to reduce the lamp
power. In this way, the brightness of the image will be adapted
to your projection conditions and a grater life lamp will be
guaranteed.

projector is connected to the mains power supply.
In STANDBY mode the projector remain in STANDBY mode and
awaits the power-up command from the remote control or

INPUTS LIST

In order to make the HT5000 system increasingly flexible, the
functions described below make it possible to modify the inputs
selection menu and adapt it so that it matches the require­ments of the user more closely. The main page displays all the
inputs physically present on the projector.
You can delete any inputs which are not in use. To do this,
select the input in the pull down menu which appears when
you press ◀, and choose whether to activate or deactivate
the input (Fig.23).
The deactivation or activation of the source results in automatic
renumbering of the remaining active inputs.

Active video signal sources (shown in the inputs selection menu)
are distinguished by tick symbols.
It can be useful to identify the input with a user defined name
rather than the type of signal (for example, with the name of
the connected device).
To do this, in the pull down menu select

NAME

and rename the
source.
This makes it easier to remember which source is connected to
a given input; you can use up to 12 alphanumeric characters
for the name (for further details, see

ENTERING TEXT

).

Entering text

The text entry menu in (Fig.24) makes it quick and easy to
enter text.
