Congratulations on your choice of the SIM2 Grand Cinema HT500LINK system!

1

The HT500LINK system combines the signal processing capa
bilities of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor with the high fidelity
reproduction of the DLP™ technology Projector by linking the
two units via a fibre optic cable.

The DigiOptic™ Image Processor, which should be ideally
located close to the signal sources, supports and processes a
wide range of video signals, transmitting them to the Projector
by means of a fibre optic link cable.

The large number of inputs available (2 Composite Video inputs,
2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic
RGB inputs, 1 DVI-D input, 1 HDMI™ Input) ensures the system
supports a wide variety of analogue and digital sources: DVD
players, VCRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers,
game consoles, video cameras, etc.

The signal processing capabilities of the Image Processor en
sure optimum reproduction of a broad range of input signals,
from interlaced video to high definition and graphics.

Thanks to the new optical system based on three chip DMD™,

­the HT 500 LINK allows to take advantage from DLP™ techno­logy, the Texas Instruments technology.
Each of the three DMD™ chip is dedicated to the modulation of
one of the primary colors coming from the optical prism, the refl
ected light, after combination by a second prism, is projected
outside using an appropriate lens system.
The technology of the HT 500 LINK allows to obtain images
without rainbow effect or any other type of artefact, in order to

enjoy an even more realistic images

The two units are connected via a three-core fibre optic ca
ble for transmission of the digital signal from the DigiOptic™
Image Processor to the Projector and control signals in both
directions.

Transmission occurs without interference or attenuation over

-

distances of up to 500 m.
Moreover, the flexibility and small size of the cable allow the
maximum freedom when installing the system in your home.

-

Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by
means of prestigious DCDi™ technology produces fluid, natural,
images free of flicker and stairstepping artefacts.

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 pro
cessor’s high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.

Adaptation of the input signal resolution to the Projector resolu
tion occurs without alterations of image quality, in accordance

with an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several de
finable by the user. All image adjustments can be performed
with the remote control with the aid of the On Screen Display
alternatively, the unit can be controlled by from a home auto­mation system through the serial port.

SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing
in order to guarantee the maximum product qua
lity.
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 asso
ciated with the standard tests.

POSITIONING THE TWO UNITS

The HT500LINK system consists of two separate units (the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the Projector), each of which is
equipped with a power cable; the two units are interconnected by a 20 m fibre optic cable.

POSITIONING DIGIOPTIC™ IMAGE PROCESSOR

The ideal location for the DigiOptic™ Image Processor is on
a cabinet shelf or on a rack (dimensions compatible with a
standard 19" rack). Make sure that the support surface is stable
and that the unit has sufficient space around it for ventilation
purposes (at least 3 cm).
The unit is connected to the mains via an external power supply
unit with an output of +7 Vdc; the unit’s main power switch is
on the power supply unit.Connect the power supply unit output
cable to the

POWER

socket located on the rear panel (Fig. 2).
Use exclusively the power supply unit provided with the sy
stem or an alternative power supply unit expressly approved
by SIM2.

To mount the DigiOptic™ Image Processor on an equipment
rack use the screws and RH / LH supports supplied with the
appliance. Unscrew the screws that secure the cover to the
DigiOptic™ unit base, position the RH and LH supports and
fix into place with the supplied screws. To secure the unit to
the rack use the supplied screws

(Fig.6).

POSITIONING PROJECTOR

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

CAUTION: In the case of ceiling mounting using a suspen­sion bracket, follow the instructions carefully and comply with
the safety standards you will find in the box together with the
bracket. If you use a bracket different to the one supplied by
SIM2 Multimedia, you must make sure that the projector is at
least 65 mm (2-9/16 inch) from the ceiling and that the bracket
is not obstructing the air vents of the projector.

-

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.

The system can be fully controlled using the supplied IR (infra
red) remote control handset. There is a single remote control
for both the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the Projector; the
remote control can be directed towards either unit since they
are both equipped with an IR sensor.

The connection between the two units is made with a single
cable containing three fibre optic cables each terminating in
an LC connector. The standard cable length of 20m will be
sufficient for most installation requirements.
During installation of the fibre optic cable:

• The individual optical cables are delicate: always handle

the main cable without touching the individual optical ca­bles (Fig. 7).

Never pull the individual optical cables or connectors; if

necessary, you may pull the main three-core cable.

• Check that the connectors are correctly inserted.

• Make sure that the cable does not constitute an obstacle

-

for persons moving around the room.

• Take care not to create knots in the cable; the minimum

radius of bends in the cable is 2 cm.

• Prevent the cable from pulling and mechanical stress: this

could cause the connectors to be pulled out and dama­ged.

To activate an electric motorised screen a 12 Volt output is
provided at the rear of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor. This
can be connected to a screen interface unit, which can be
supplied by screen manufacturers (Fig.10).

with black, non-reflecting borders, which will perfectly frame
the projected image.
Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as
this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected
image. For the true cinema experience best results are achie­ved with little or no ambient light.

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.

CONNECTING THE VIDEO SOURCES

Fig.10

The output is activated (Voltage: 12 Vdc) when the Projector is
switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the
projector is in stand-by mode.
Some manufacturers offer screen-masking systems to help
frame the projected image and improve picture contrast.
These systems can be connected to output, at the rear of the
DigiOptic™ Image Processor

(Fig.11).

Fig.11

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. Preferably, use a screen

Connect the cables from the video sources, the serial cable
from the external control unit and the optical fibre cables for
connection to the Projector, to the rear panel of the DigiOptic™
Image Processor.

To obtain the best performance from the HT500 LINK system,
connect the various signal sources using good quality cables
designed for video applications (rated impedance 75 ).
Ensure that:

• the cables are routed in such a way that they do not present

an obstruction to people moving around the room;

• the connectors are inserted carefully to avoid damaging the

pins;

• the cables are not twisted or crushed;

• when disconnecting the cables the connectors are not

violently pulled out of the sockets on the various units.

Video sources (television receivers, VCRs, DVD players, etc.)
often feature several outputs. To obtain the best performance
from your system, carefully choose which output to use. Ge
nerally, the type of signal offering the best picture quality is
DVI-D, followed by RGB, Components, S-Video and Composite
Video, in that order.
However, the HT500 LINK system is equipped with an excellent
Video Decoder and Deinterlacer and therefore even inferior
quality signals will produce high quality results.
Table 1 shows the types of signals usually available for the most
common types of video sources and the corresponding input
connectors to use on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor

VIDEO 1 2

These inputs should be connected to a Composite Video signal
(CVBS) by means of a cable with an RCA connector.
The connector on the source is usually yellow and is frequently
labelled VIDEO.
Although other types of signals are preferable (since they
allow better picture quality), this is still the most common type
of output, and nearly all television receivers, video-recorders,
DVD players, video cameras, etc., are equipped with CVBS
outputs.

S-VIDEO 3 4

These inputs should be connected to an S-Video signal by
means of a cable with a 4-pin mini-DIN type connector.
The corresponding output on the source can be identified by
the wording S-VIDEO or Y/C.
Almost as widespread as Composite Video, S-VIDEO is prefe
rable because it offers a clearer and sharper picture.

R is red, G is green, B is blue, H/HV is white and V is black.
By using a suitable SCART to RCA (or BNC) connector adapter
cable, an RGB video signal 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. Since the latter can be labelled in various ways, refer
to Table 1 to establish the correspondence between the various
signals. The connector colours can also be of help, as shown
in the table. Input 5 is dedicated for RGB and YCrCb signals
up to 32 KHz only. In fact, in order to guarantee a high image
quality, even with not so accurate sources, the input signal is
elaborated by specific circuit boards in the DigiOptic™ Image
Processor.The video signal suitable for inputs 6-7-8 can have a
scan frequency of 15KHz (standard video resolution) or 32KHz
or more (progressive scan 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 HT500LINK system rather than on the source because the
HT500LINK system is equipped with Faroudja’s sophisticated
directional correlation deinterlacing technology (DCDi™).
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interla
ced 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 HT500LINK system
in the two cases: deinterlacing performed by the HT500 LINK
system (thanks to Faroudja DCDi™ technology) is often more
effective than that performed at the source (typically a DVD

­player)

-

COMPONENT / RGBS 5 6 7 8

These inputs are composed of three sets of 5 RCA connectors
(5,6,7) and a set of 5 BNC connectors (8).
Each set of connectors is suitable for RGB and Component
signals.
RGB signals can have the following synchronisations: compo­site sync on the green signal (RGsB), H+V Composite Sync,
or separate H/V Sync.
Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R,
G, B inputs of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor (paying attention
not to invert the positions) and any synchronisation signals to
the HV input or the H and V inputs. When connecting the three
sets of RCA connectors use the colours as a guide: connector

12

GRAPHICS RGB 9 10

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 synchro

­nisation or composite H+V.
The video or graphic signals that can be connected to this input
can have horizontal scan frequencies (H-sync) of between 32
and 80 kHz and a vertical frequency (V-sync) of between 48
and 100 Hz. Image resolution can vary between 640x480 and
1600x1200 pixels (VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA).

DVI-D 11

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 HT500LINK
system.

HDMI 12

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 HT500 LINK system of control data to optimise
the quality of the projected image.

The HDMI™ input allows connection to video sources that use
the HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol
to protect their contents. This protocol is in fact incorporated in
the definition of the HDMI™ technology.
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI™
input, internal processing by the DigiOptic™ Image Processor
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 accordance with

The HT500LINK system consists of the Projector and the Di­giOptic™ Image Processor (which is also the system control
centre). The DigiOptic™ Image Processor sends commands to
the Projector and receives operating status information from the
Projector and function commands from the user. The system can
be controlled from either the remote control (via the infrared sen
sors on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and on the Projector)
or the keypad located on the rear of the Projector.
The two units have separate power supplies however: after
connecting the unit to the electrical mains supply:

1) Set the two power switches to “I”; the DigiOptic™ Image
Processor power switch is located on the external power supply
unit (Fig. 13c), while the Projector switch is on the rear panel
(Fig. 13a).

2) Turn on the DigiOptic™ Image Processor by pressing the
button on the front panel

(Fig. 13b).

Significant status signals are given in Table 3

.

Table 3

-

If the No optical link or Error signals are active the system
cannot be operated; if the Warning signal is active the system
will operate but it may be unable to read certain input signals
correctly.

SWITCHING ON FROM STAND-BY

Switching on the system (Fig.14):

• from the remote control (keys 0-9)

• from the Projector keypad (keys · and ‚).

After a few seconds (system initialisation interval), the DigiOp­tic™ Image Processor and the Projector assume stand-by
mode.
System status information is provided by two LEDs (green and
blue) on the front panel of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor, a
blue and green LEDs on the rear of the Projector.

Typically, the picture will appear after 15-20 seconds. Pressing
a key from 1-9 on the remote control selects the corresponding
input; pressing 0 selects the input active at the time the system
was last switched off.
If the system is switched on very soon after it was last switched
off, the lamp may fail to come on because it is too hot. In this
case just wait a few minutes to allow the lamp to cool.

Switching the system off

(Fig.15):

• from the remote control ( key)

• from the Projector keypad ( key).

If you wish to power off the system completely, wait at least one
minute in stand-by before setting the mains power switches on
the units to the “O” position or disconnecting the power supply
cables. This is to allow the fans in the Projector unit sufficient
time to cool the lamp.

In case the Projector unit is shut down (for example due to a
shut down of the projector unit by putting the switch in the “O”
position or by accidentally unplugging the power cord cable)
to re-boost the HT500LINK system it is necessary to shut down
the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and repeat the power-on pro
cedure described in point 1 and 2.

In case the connection with the fiber optics between the two unit
is interrupted (for example by unplagging one or more cable),
to restore the system, it is necessary to turn off the two units
through the main switches and once the connecectin is restored,
repeat steps 1 and 2 of the power-on procedure.

7 REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control transmits commands to the system by
infrared signals.
There are three infrared sensors, one at the front of the Projector,
one at the rear of the Projector and one on the front panel of
the DigiOptic™ Image Processor.
It is possible to control the projector by pointing the remote
control at the screen; the sensor at the front of the projector will
pick up the reflected infrared commands. (Fig. 16).
Avoid placing obstructions between the remote control and the
infrared sensor at the front of the projector; this will impair the
remote control performance.

If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time
remove the batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time;
do not replace one new battery with a used battery. If the bat­teries have leaked, carefully wipe the case clean and replace
with new batteries.

8 ON SCREEN MENU

All system functions can be activated from the keypad or remote control with the aid of a practical and comprehensive system
of on screen menus.

INPUTS

The input selection menu (Inputs) is called by pressing 0 on the
remote control and, when no other menu is displayed, using
the · and ‚ keys on the keypad. To select an input, scroll the
list with the

· and ‚ keys until the desired input is highlighted,
then press ‡.
Display of the input selection menu is terminated
by pressing the ESC key, or when the time allowed for displaying
the on-screen menu has lapsed (set in the Set-up Menu).
Input 5 can accept RGB and YCrCb signals with a scan fre­quency up to 32Khz.
Inputs 6, 7 and 8 can receive RGB and YCrCb signals, at 15
kHz, 32 kHz or higher. The association between the input and
the type of signal (RGB or YCrCb) is made from the pull-down
menu that appears on the right of the < symbol after pressing
the fl key (Fig. 18b).

Fig. 18a

In the pull-down menu it is also possible to choose the hori­zontal frequency or use the AutoSync feature; in this case the
system detect the horizontal frequency signal (15KHz, 32KHz
or higher) automatically.
Input 11 is capable of receiving YCrCb or RGB signals coming
from DVI-D sources.
The selection should be made from the drop menu following
the indications described above.

After selecting the source signal (by means of the
keys), press

MENU+/MENU-

to confirm and close the pull-down

· and ‚

menu; the value you have just set will be displayed on the right
of the < symbol.
As with the other inputs, you can now select the input just set
by pressing the

‡ key.
During the short time it takes to find the signal, a box appears
showing the signal requested. As soon as the signal is shown
in the box additional information is displayed concerning the
video standard (for video signals) or resolution (for graphic
signals), and format.

BRIGHTNESS

Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without
affecting white areas. Increasing the value will give more detail
in darker parts of the picture. For correct adjustment it may pro­ve useful to display the signal relative to the grey scale within
which the black level and the level immediately above it must
be separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed
of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects.

CONTRAST

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

ces 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 pictu

adjustment use skin tones or a test pattern image with colour
bars as a reference.

SHARPNESS

Use this adjustment to increase and 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 be unnaturally defined.

These adjustments are reserved for expert users since there is
a risk of obtaining results that impair projected image quality.

GAMMA CORRECTION

Determines the system’s response to the grey scale, emphasi­sing or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks,
dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image.
There are 6 types of gamma curves FILM,FILM1,VIDEO, VI­DEO1, GRAPHIC and USER. Whit USER curve the the user
may select the exponent (gamma value) used for gamma
compensation.
Values between 1.5 to 2.2 enhance the details in the dark image
content, resulting in a lower contrast perception.
Values higher than 2.2 , occurs a fade away of details in the dark
image content, resulting in a higher contrast perception.
With the value equal to 2.2 (the standard value) , the image’s
colours displayed are the most natural colours available with
the common video sources.

OVERSCAN

Remove noise around image. Some sources can produce a
picture with noise along edges, thanks to the overscan function

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
most suitable values.
However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove
useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis
and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedure
from the

AUTO

button on the remote control or keypad. When this
procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light coloured
background on the screen in the current picture.

FREQUENCY/PHASE

These adjustments, available for progressive signals and for
signals from PC, ensure correspondence between the number
of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making
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.
However, if the image appears disturbed (loss of position within
the equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of shar
pness on the narrow vertical lines) it may help to prompt the
system to repeat the input signal analysis and determination
of the best parameters by calling the automatic adjustment

AUTO

procedure with the

key on the remote control or on the

keypad.
If the automatic procedure fails to have the required effect, enter
the frequency and phase values manually and approach the
screen sufficiently to observe the effects of the adjustments.

Table 5

SETUP

­The setup menu contains less frequently used adjustments that

may be required during installation (e.g. On Screen Display
language selection or the display of Test Patterns).

ORIENTATION

Select the option that best describes the installation i.e. desktop
front, ceiling front, desktop rear and ceiling rear.

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.

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. 22).

Fig. 22

If the projected images needs to be centred, the

LENS SHIFT
(see next paragraph) adjustment allows the projected image
to be moved vertically and horizontally, in relation to the centre
of the screen

(Fig. 23).

The keystone adjustement helps to compensate possible ho
rizontal tilts of the projector.

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 di
stinguish each pixel that create the image one from another.
If the video signal used is not suitable for this purpose, the
HT 500 LINK system provide two test pattern , each available
with the ajustment mentioned above, in order to select the
appropriate value for ZOOM and FOCUS.
This test pattern is displayed by pressing the • key, once the
right adjustments are reached using the fl and ‡ keys, the
test image can be easly removed pressing again the • key of
the remote control. The LENS SHIFT adjustment allows to move
horizontally (keys fl and ‡) and vertically (keys · and ‚) the
lens, in order to center the image.

MENU

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)

The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct
groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters
can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single
command.
There are 3 distinct Memories (Memory 1, Memory 2, Memory

3) for each of the 25 signal types managed:

making a total of 75 different available Memories.
The image parameters that can be saved/recalled by the Mem
ories management system are the following:

· and ‚ keys to move to line ‘1’ and then open the
pull-down menu by pressing the fl key (Fig.29). Then select
the option ‘Save current settings’. To confirm that the operation
has been completed successfully, the message Current settings

­saved in Memory 1 is displayed at the bottom of the screen and

the letter ‘S’ appears to the left of the memory name. The same
procedure is used to save parameters in Memories 2 and 3.

Fig.29

Recall a memory

To recall a Memory, select the desired line and press ‡. The
parameters saved in the selected Memory will be applied to
the image displayed and a message will appear to confirm

MESSAGES

The following messages may appear during operation of the
system:

No signal

­The system does not recognise any signal applied to the se

lected 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 sy-

stem to the various sources.

• Make sure the video or graphic signals supplied by the sour-

ce 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 speci
fications (e.g. a QXGA graphic signal) or when an input is sup
plied with an incompatible signal (after setting the components
input to YCrCb 15kHz a progressive signal is connected).

9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The Projector and DigiOptic™ Image Processor do not require
internal cleaning. There are no user serviceable parts inside
the projector. Please refer all service requirements to qualified
personnel.

Cleaning the projector’s cover:

Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
solvents or other harsh chemicals, as this will damage the
finish of the cover. Avoid direct cleaning of the rear panel’s
screen-printing.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

No power (Green and red LED are OFF)

• Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I.

• Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a

working socket.

• Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector.

• Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type

(T 5A H)

(Fig. 2).

• Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical assi-

stance.

The lamp is not coming on

• Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning

on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down
sufficiently.

• If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has

had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance
from your nearest Dealer.

No image

Cleaning the lens:

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

• Check the integrity of cables used to connect various sour-

ces.

• Check the cooling air inlets or air outlets on the units are

not obstructed and the room temperature is below 35°C
(95°F).

Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy

• Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical

specifications of the projector.

• Check the integrity of cables connecting projector to various

sources.

• If the signal source is a terrestrial broadcast (via a VCR) check

that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and
that the aerial system is in good working order.

• Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a

video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first
generation” copy and in good condition.

• Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture per-

formance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture
menu.

• Check that the selected input is actually connected to a active

video or graphic signal.

• Check that the above source actually works.

• Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical

specifications of the projector.
