1 INTRODUCTION

FULL HD

1920x1080

The HT5000HB - PRO5DL projector uses the maximum in signal pro­cessing technology as well as the innovative DLP™ and a refined
optical system.

Its range of inputs (1 Composite Video inputs, 1 S-Video inputs, 2
Component or RGB inputs (4 RCA connectors and 5 BNC connec­tors), 2 graphic RGB inputs, 6 HDMI™ inputs, 1 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 permits 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 default 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 home automation system through its
serial port , the 1.1 USB port, an RS232 serial port or the RJ45 Ethernet
port.

The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by
SIM2 to guarantee the highest quality.
The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours.
In addition to the customary checks, the Quality Control department
also runs additional statistical tests before shipment.
In such cases, the packaging may show signs of having been
opened, and the hours of lamp operation may prove to be
higher than those normally shown when only standard tests are
performed.

install and use this equipment correctly. Before using the
equipment, read the safety prescriptions and instructions
carefully. Keep the manual for future consultation.

• Do not touch internal parts of the units.

Inside the housing there are electrical parts carrying

dangerously high voltages and parts operating at high
temperature. Never open the housing. Entrust all servicing
and repair work to an authorised Service Centre. Opening
the housing voids the warranty.

• Disconnecting the appliance from the power supply.

The device which disconnects the unit from the mains is

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 110-240 VAC, 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 connec-

tor. Remove the fuse holder with a flat head screwdriver
and replace the fuse. Fit the replacement fuse. Use only

• 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.
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

not become knotted or crimped. If the power cables be-

come damaged, stop using the system and request the

assistance of an authorised technician.

• Disconnect the unit from the mains power during electrical

storms and when not in use.

To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity,

disconnect the unit during storms or when the system is

going to be left unused for a long time.

• Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp.
Do not use the unit near water (sinks, tubs, etc.); do not

place objects containing liquids on or near the units and do

not expose them to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays;

do not use water or liquid detergent to clean them.

• Do not allow the units to overheat.

To prevent overheating, allow a free space of at least 40

cm at the back of the projector.
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.
Do not place the unit near heat sources such as heaters,

radiators or other devices (including amplifiers) that gener-

ate heat.
Do not place the unit in an area where there is insufficient

space (shelving units, bookshelves, etc.) and in general

avoid placing it in poorly ventilated areas as this may

prevent sufficient cooling.

• Place the unit on a stable surface.

Place the projector on a stable surface or use the ceiling

mounting bracket provided.

Never place the projector on its side or rear, on the lens or

top panel.

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

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

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

• Power saving.

We advise disconnecting the unit from the power supply

when not in use. In this way you will achieve considerable
power savings while at the same time protecting internal
electrical parts from wear.

• Hight Altitude.

During the installation, when using the projector over 3000

feet above sea level, set the “ALTITUDE” to “HIGH” from the
Service menu. Otherwise the life of the product may be
shortened.

• PRODUCT DISPOSAL

This projector is fitted with a pressurised lamp containing

a small amount of mercury. These lamps may be subject
to special disposal regulations due to environmental con­siderations. For disposal or recycling information, please
contact your local authorities or, if you are located in the
USA, the Electronic Industries Alliance.

Place the projector on a stable surface or use the optional
ceiling bracket.

WARNING: When using the ceiling mount bracket, the safety
instructions provided with the bracket must be strictly ob­served. If you use a bracket other than the one provided by
SIM2 Multimedia, make sure the projector is located at least
65 mm from the ceiling and that the bracket does not block
the air intake and outlet slots.

If the image slopes left or right, adjust the two feet on the bottom
to obtain a level position, lining up the base of the projected
image with the base of the projection screen (Fig. 2).

Fig.3

The image can be centred using the motorized lens control.
Movements can be either vertical or horizontal (Fig.3a).

Placed the projector at the desired distance from the screen:
the size of the projected image depends upon the distance
between the lens and the screen and the zoom setting.
Use the motorized zoom (Fig. 3) widen or to narrow the pro­jected image.
Use the motorized focus (Fig. 3) to obtain the best definition of
the projected image. If the focus is correct, from up close to
the screen you should be able to distinguish each single pixel
that makes up the projected image (Fig. 3).

off the projection screen when you change the format of
the projected image (Fig. 7). The activation command can
be provided using output TRIG2 located on the back of the
projector.

Using the Orientation item in the Setup menu, you can either
turn the projected image upside down or create a mirror image
of it (Fig.5), so as to adapt it to the configurations of frontal,
frontal on ceiling, rear, or rear on ceiling installation.

It is possible to use a hideaway motorized screen. The activa­tion switch can be provided using output TRIG1 located on the
back of the projector (Fig. 6).
This output is activated (voltage +12 V DC) when you turn the
projector on. It is de-activated (no output voltage) when the
projector is in standby status.
You can also use black motorized hideaway curtains to mark

Fig. 4

Fig. 6

For rear installations, a suitable translucid screen must be used.
For front installations, it is advisable to use a screen with non­reflective black edges that perfectly fit the projected image.
You should use screen with unity gain. Directional screens with
high gain may be used effectively only for small groups of
spectators located at the centre of the screen.
Do not allow room lighting to shine directly onto the screen
during projection. This would reduce the contrast image.
Keep the projection screen away from furniture or other objects
with reflective surfaces, or light-coloured walls.

To get the most out of the projector, make connections to the
signal sources using quality cables made specifically for video
applications.
Low-quality cables and connectors may corrupt the signals
and degrade the quality of the projected image.

Conserve and use the cables with care. Follow these simple
instructions:

With the exception of RCA type coaxial connectors, always
check the correct direction of insertion of the connectors
in their sockets to prevent deformation of the feet.

When you unplug equipment, do not pull on the cables.
Do not twist or crush the cables.

For temporary installation in dark areas, make sure to
arrange the cables so that persons may move freely.

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 on the external device is normally
identified 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

interlaced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the
quality of the pictures reproduced by the HT5000HB - PRO5DL in
the two cases: the de-interlacing performed by the HT5000HB

- PRO5DL is often more effective than that performed by the
sources themselves.

GRAPHICS RGB / YPRPB

This input should be connected to an RGB/YPrPb 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 permits you to make the best use of digital image
quality. If your source has a DVI-D output (with YPrPb or RGB sig­nal), connect it to this input to get the most out of the HT5000HB

- PRO5DL system.

These inputs use a set of 4 RCA (3) connectors and 5 BNC (4)
connectors. RGB and Component signals can be applied to
each set of connectors.
If you use the RGB inputs you can select YPrPb video mode.
The RGB signals may have composite synchronisation on the
green signal (RGsB), composite synchronisation on the HV sig­nal and separate synchronisation on the H and V signals via
BNC connectors. Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to
the respective R, G, B inputs of the HT5000HB - PRO5DL (tak­ing care not to invert the positions) and any synchronisation
signals to the HV. With regard to the 3 sets of RCA connectors,
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 match the outputs on the source device.
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 or higher (high definition video, with
progressive scanning, high definition video) can be applied
to this input.
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced
signals, but if the source features both progressive and de-

HDMI™

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) integrates an un­compressed high definition video signal with a multi-channel
audio signal and allows exchange of control data between
the video source and the HT5000HB - PRO5DL.
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 HT5000HB - PRO5DL separates
the video information from the audio information.
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

The HDSDI/SDI input permits you to connect sources with serial
digital outputs in YPrPb components in compliance with the
SMPTE292M (high definition) and SMPTE259M-C (standard
definition) standards. The signal, of the uncompressed type, is
transmitted digitally by single coaxial cable, thus guaranteeing
a high level of resistance to noise and disturbance.

NETWORK FUNCTIONS (RJ45 CONNECTOR)

The HT5000 - PRO5DL projector is equipped with a 10/100 Mbit
Ethernet interface by means of which the projector can be
connected to a LAN or to the Internet.
The network connection can be used to remotely control the
projector from any workstation with access to the network by
sending TCP/IP protocol commands.
Additionally, by suitably configuring the network specifications,
you can receive e-mail notifications on the operating status of
the HT5000 - PRO5DL projector.

Fig. 12

The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12 Vdc)
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 TRIG2 output can be set with
the Screen control adjustment in the Aspect menu. This output
allows reduction of the area of a 16:9 screen, to a 4:3 format,
by activating a horizontal screen masking system output.

Alternatively use a scene composed of black objects alongside
other dark coloured objects and try to ensure that all the objects
can be separately identified.

CONTRAST

Use this control to adjust the images 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

COLOUR

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 the blue in grass in land­scape shots.

TINT

This adjustment controls the purity of colours. Basically it deter­mines the red-green ratio of the picture.
Decreasing the value increases the red content of the image,
increasing it increases the green content. 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.

CINEMA MODE

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

ASPECT

This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and
aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the
displayed image. There are six default aspects available and
three user 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 displayed.
You can also select the required aspect ratio from the remote
control by repeatedly pressing the key or by pressing the
key and one of the number keys (1...8).
The following aspects are available:

If you select NO, the de-interlacer always applies an optimized
motion compensated algorithm for signals from a camera.

For use of settings in the column "1 RGB", there are 9 available
preset settings of the white balance.

The default settings are:

STANDARD applies a certain white balance depending on the
standard selected in column “1 RGB” (Fig. 23)
HIGH - MEDIUM - LOW (default white balance levels);
NATIVE (the machines native white balance);
D75 - D65 - D50 - C standard CIE illuminants;

COLOUR TEMPERATURE

Changes the colour balance of the image.
It is possible to define the position of the primary colours (red,
green and blue) using 5 preset settings (Fig.22).

The default settings are:

NATIVE (the projector’s native primary colours)
HDTV, EBU, SMPTE-C, primary colours defined by the standards
AUTO, mode that applies one of the standard settings described
above.
PC, mode available only if the projector has received Colour
Temperature instructions by connection to a PC and using Live
Colours Calibration software.

20

Fig. 23

If the default white settings are not sufficient, you can adjust the
white balance manually.
Colour temperature can be adjusted by positioning the white
point within the CIE chromaticity diagram. The system permits
you to place the white point inside a grid positioned in the neu­tral colour zone. Moving along the horizontal lines changes the
related colour temperature, with low temperatures on the right
(thus increasing the red content) and high temperatures on the
left of the graph (thus increasing the blue content). Points along
the yellow horizontal line represent the white balances on the
black body curve. The colour temperature along the vertical lines

ht5000HB - pro5dl

is constant even if it differs to a lesser or higher degree from the
black body curve. This means that by selecting the points on the
higher part of the graph you will increase the green component.
On the contrary, by selecting points in the lower part of the graph,
the purple component increases.

GAMMA CORRECTION

Determines the systems response to the grey scale, emphasising
or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark,
medium and light greys, whites) in the projected image.
The projector has a range of gamma functions which enable
you to display any image to the best effect for the type of
video source, the ambient lighting and your subjective prefer­ences.
There are 3 sets of gamma curves: Standard (ST), Enhanced
SIM2 (EN) and Graphics (GR). The Standard curve has been
defined for general use, and is set for camcorders, digital
cameras, and for viewing films or photos from your PC. The
Enhanced set is suitable for watching movies. The Graphics
set is suited to displaying synthetic graphics (PC, CAD, PC
presentations, etc.).
By choosing User you can define your own curve. You can thus
select the coefficient which determines the curve. Coefficient
values from 1.5 to 2.2 allow you to emphasise the detail of dark
images, while reducing overall contrast. Values higher than 2.2
increase overall contrast, but reduce the detail of dark areas.
For the most common video sources, if you set the parameter
to 2.2, you will obtain pleasant and well-contrasted 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 outside the projected area.

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 centred it may prove useful to make the system repeat
the input signal analysis and image positioning, requesting
the automatic control procedure with button A on the remote
control.
When this procedure is requested it is helpful to have a white
or light coloured background in the current picture on the
screen.

Orientation

Where Video and S-Video signals are concerned, 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 adjustment,
unless the source or connection cable is changed.

FREQUENCY/PHASE

These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for sig­nals from a PC, ensure correspondence between the number
of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels that
make up the projected image.
It is not normally necessary to adjust these parameters 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
requesting the automatic adjustment function with button A on
the remote control or

AUTO

on the keypad. If the automatic pro­cedure fails to achieve the required effect, enter the frequency
and phase values manually and move sufficiently close to the
screen to observe the effects of the adjustments.

This menu includes the less frequently used adjustments which
may be helpful during installation (for example, the selection
of the language for the On Screen Display or the display of test
images) (Fig.25).

HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL KEYSTONE

To achieve the best image quality, we recommend install­ing the projector on a surface which is perpendicular to the
screen. If the image slopes left or right, adjust the feet on the
bottom of the projector to obtain a level position, lining up the
base of the projected image with the base of the projection
screen (Fig. 27).

LENS

The ZOOM adjustment controls the motorised lens zoom,
permitting you to zoom in or out, enlarging or shrinking the
projected image.
This permits you to access the optic zoom control, where the
◀ and ▶ keys zoom in and out.
FOCUS adjustment changes the motorised lens focus.
It provides the maximum definition of the projected image.
Exact focusing should make it possible, from near the screen,
to distinguish every single pixel that makes up the image. With
the initial settings of the projector, the configurable keys of the
remote control (F1, F2) perform the functions of optical zoom
and optical focus (Fig.30).

LAMP POWER

If your projection room is especially dark, the images pro­jected by the HT5000HB - PRO5DL system may appear to be
excessively bright. Use the LAMP POWER function to reduce the
power used to operate the lamp while achieving maximum
image quality. In this way, the brightness of the image will be
adapted to your projection conditions guaranteeing that the
lamp lasts longer.

TEST PATTERNS

MESSAGES

The following messages may appear on your screen:

No signal

.

The system does not recognise any signal applied to the se­lected input. In this case:

• Make sure the selected input is connected to a video or

graphic signal and that that source is functioning cor­rectly.

• Check the condition of the cables used to connect the

system to the various sources.

• Make sure the video or graphic signals supplied by the

source are compatible with the system’s technical speci­fications and, in particular, with those of the selected in­put.

Out of range

This message appears when either the resolution or the verti­cal/horizontal frequency of the input signal exceeds system
specifications (e.g. a QXGA graphic signal).

9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The projector does not require internal adjustment.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector.
To replace the bulb or any other repairs, contact your local
service centre, whose engineers will be happy to efficiently solve
any problem. Use a soft cloth to clean the projector housing, if
necessary slightly dampened with water and a small amount
of neutral soap. Do not rub the rear panel markings.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

No power (LEDs always off)

• Check that the projector’s power switches are in position

I.

• Check that the power cables are correctly connected to

the projector’s power sockets.

• Check the condition of the fuse located next to the power

socket at the rear of the projector.

• Replace the fuse located on the projector’s power socket

with an identical type (T 5A H).

• If the fuse blows repeatedly, seek technical assistance from

your nearest service centre.

Lamp fails to switch on

The lens may be cleaned with a small very soft, non-abrasive
brush, 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.

We suggest cleaning the filter every time that the lamp is
changed.

No image

Make sure the selected input is connected to a video or graphic

signal and that this source is functioning correctly.

• Make sure the video or graphic signals supplied by the

source are compatible with the HT5000HB - PRO5DL
system’s technical specifications and, in particular, with
those of the selected input.

• Check the condition of the cables used to connect the

projector to its input sources.

• Check the state of the connection by interpreting the code

displayed by the projector LEDs.

• Make sure the cooling air vents on the units are not blocked

and that the room temperature is below 35°C.

• If this happens immediately after the last time the unit was

switched off, allow a few minutes between switching off
and switching on again. This will allow the lamp to cool
down to the optimum temperature for switching on.

• If the lamp fails to light - even though the unit has had time

to cool down - seek technical assistance from your nearest
service centre.

• Check the state of the connection by using Table 1 to

interpret the code displayed by the system LEDs.

Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy

• Check compatibility of the video or graphic signals with the

technical specifications of the projector, and specifically,
with the specifications of the selected input.

• Check all cables.

• If the problem occurs on a terrestrial broadcast source

signal, check that the receiver has been correctly tuned
in and that the aerial system is in good working order.

• If the problem occurs in a video signal from a video re-

corder, ensure that the videotape is in good condition and
