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 power plug. Ensure that the power cable plugs and
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.

• Changing the fuses.
Before changing the fuse disconnect the unit from the

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.

• Energy savings.
Disconnect the power supply when the projector is not

in use. This will considerably reduce power consumption
and also lengthen the service life of the unit’s electrical
circuitry.

• PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This projector utilizes a pressurizzed lamp containing a small

amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be
regulated due to enviromental considerations. For disposal
or recycling information please contact your local autorities
or, if you are located in the United States of America, the
Electronic Industries Alliance.

4 INSTALLATION

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.

SWITCH ON FROM STANDBY

With the remote control press one of the keys:

- 0 to select the last imput selectet after last switching of.

- 1-9 to select the correspondent imput

With the keypad: press the ON/OFF button.

When the unit is switched on from standby the lamp switches
on; after a brief period of warming up, the image displays (blue
led on). The projected image comes from the input selected
when the unit was last switched off (Fig. 10).

If a very short time has passed since the unit was last switched
off, the lamp may not switch on because it is too hot.
Just wait a few minutes for the lamp to cool down sufficien­tly.

With the keypad: press ON/OFF button.
When switching off, the projector goes into stand-by mode and
stores the input selection at the time of switch-off.
The fans keep running until the lamp cools down (blue and
red leds on), after which they automatically switch off. Do not

switch off the projector with the power switch until the fans
have stopped running.
