Safety

To reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect the power cord on the rear panel before removing the top cover of the projector. For technical service refer to trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer.

If the lamp suddenly explodes with a loud bang, turn off the projector immediately and air the room thoroughly. Do not attempt to restart the projector and do attempt to replace the bulb: contact your local service center.

Read this guide

Read all chapters of this guide carefully before switching on the projector. This guide provides basic instructions for operating the SIRIO projector. Installation, preliminary adjustments and procedures that necessitate the removal of the top cover and contact with electrical components must be performed by authorized, trained technicians. To ensure safe operation and long term reliability use only the power cords supplied by the manufacturer. Observe all warnings and precautions. Keep this guide for future consultation.

Do not touch internal parts of the projector

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 a SIM2 Authorized Service Center. Opening the housing voids the warranty.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply

The device that disconnects the projector from the mains is the power plug. Ensure that the power cord plugs and the electrical outlets are easily accessible during installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the projector from the mains. Use only the specified power supply. Connect the projector 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,

1 Important information SIRIO

User Guide

contact an electrician. Take care to avoid overloading the power socket and any extension leads.

Switching the projector off

Pay attention to the switch off procedure for the projector. The projector must always be brought back to the standby state to allow the projector to carry out the cooling procedure. Should this not happen, for example due to a power cut, the projector may enter a state of protection that leads to switch-on being blocked. This block will last until the internal components of the projector have completely cooled down.

Be careful with cables

Make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard. Keep all cables away from children. Install the projector as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid stepping on power cords, 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 cords become damaged, stop using the projector and request the assistance of an authorized technician.

Disconnect the projector from the mains power during electrical storms and when not in use

To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, disconnect the projector during storms or when the projector is going to be left unused for a long time.

Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp

Do not use the projector near water (sinks, tubs and so on); do not place objects containing liquids on or near the projector and do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays; do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.

Place the projector on a stable surface

Place the projector on a stable surface or use a suitable ceiling mounting bracket. Never place the projector on its side or rear, on the lens or top panel.

Do not allow the projector to overheat

To prevent overheating, allow a free space of at least 0.25 m (10 in.) on the left, right and rear sides of the projector. Do not obstruct the ventilation slots. Do not place the projector near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other devices (including amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not place the projector in an area where there is insufficient space (shelving units, bookshelves and so on) and in general avoid placing it in poorly ventilated areas as this may prevent sufficient cooling and significantly reduce lamp life.

Never look directly at the projection lamp

Never look directly into the lens when the lamp is on as the intense light may damage your eyes. Take particular care that children cannot do so.

Installing the lens

Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector before installing the lens. Retain the lens plug to protect the optical components from dust and debris during transport (see page 14).

Take special care regarding movement of the lens

Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens and also ensure that vertical

User Guide

and horizontal lens movements are not impeded by external objects.

Do not insert objects through the openings in the projector

Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the projector. If this should occur, disconnect the projector from the power supply immediately and call an authorized technician.

Power saving

We advise disconnecting the projector 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.

3D Content

Discomfort (such as eye strain, headaches, motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, disorientation) may be experienced while watching 3D content. In this case, stop watching and consult a doctor if symptoms are severe. Consult a doctor before allowing young children (especially those under six years old) to watch 3D content as their visual system is still under development. Monitor children (including teenagers) watching 3D content, as they are more at risk of experiencing discomfort and less inclined to report symptoms. Individuals who may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes (on the basis of personal and family history) should consult a doctor before watching 3D content. All viewers should take regular breaks from watching 3D content. Length and frequency of these breaks may vary from person to person.

Product disposal

The lamp inside this projector contains mercury and may be subject to special disposal or recycle regulations. Dispose or recycle in accordance with local laws. For more information contact the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eiae.org or check www.lamprecycle.org

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.

As the optical system of the SIRIO is extremely compact and has the purpose of developing very high brightness and contrast, it is possible that a small quantity of light is visible outside of the projection area and will vary depending on the type of lens used and the zoom and shift setup. This characteristic of the optical system is to be deemed as normal. In order to reduce this effect SIM2 recommends that the area surrounding the projection screen is as dark as possible.

1Introduction

Designed for the most demanding home entertainment system, SIRIO brings a balanced approach to high brightness projection, with a quality of picture that rivals that of the best projectors in its category. Engineered to be used with large screen sizes or in ambient light room conditions, where high light output is a necessity, SIRIO uses light-tuned optical elements to maximize light output (up to 6,000 ANSI lumens) from its dual 350W lamps. This is a star performer that has the power and clarity to satisfy the most demanding viewer (whether watching movies or playing video games), as well as the ability to deliver bright, contrast-rich images in real world lighting conditions. SIM2 has, in the SIRIO, created a 3D active single-chip DLP®-based projector without the compromises that are usually found in high brightness projectors, where high light output comes at the cost of some important features. SIRIO has a balanced delivery of both high brightness and healthy contrast. The SIRIO has a comprehensive choice of connection options on-board an RJ-45 connector (Ethernet or LAN) and a USB port hosting a dedicated USB-Wireless adapter. To aid calibration SIM2’s Live Color Calibration software enables complete control over:

• primary, secondary and white point color coordinates

• gamma tables

allowing calibration experts to accurately calibrate the final image via a user-friendly application for Windows-based computers.

Operation

The SIRIO projector has two IR receivers, one on the front and one on the back of the unit. The operative range of the remote control is approximately 10 m (33 ft.). Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote control and the IR receiver you are pointing to. You can point the remote control towards the screen, as the IR beam is reflected by the screen towards front IR receiver of the projector. In this case the effective range of the remote control may be smaller than declared.

Batteries

To install batteries in the remote control:

1. Open the battery cover.

2. Insert four AAA (LR03) batteries making sure the polarities match the + marks inside

the battery compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

Replace the batteries with new ones when the operating range of the remote control decreases. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Make sure you do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Warning: If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries

to avoid battery leakage.

3D RF Emitter

The 3D RF emitter is designed to be placed near the projector and aimed at the screen. It receives the 3D sync signal from the projector and emits RF pulses that reach the 3D glasses RF receiver. The emitter does not require a battery.

Note: The emitter emits sync pulses only when the projector displays 3D content.

3D Glasses

When displaying 3D content, the projector alternately displays one image for the left eye and one image for the right eye in rapid succession. The 3D glasses turn on and off their lenses, in sync with the projector, so that each eye receives exactly the image intended for it. The sync is possible thanks to the RF pulses received by the glasses from the 3D RF emitter.

Important: Installation procedures should be performed by a qualified AV system

specialist.

Location

When installing the SIRIO projector, take the following considerations into account.

Installation Type

Select the installation type that best suits your needs:

•front or rear projection

•floor or ceiling mount

Lens Type

Choose the desired distance from the screen and select the lens type (M0, M1, M2, M3, M4) that determines the desired screen size (see “Projections Distances” on page

42).

Cooling

Make sure that the planned location for the projector has adequate ventilation. Check that room temperature is below 35° C and that the projector is away from heating vents. Ensure a minimum 0.25 m (10 in.) clearance on the left, right and rear sides of the projector.

Power Outlets

Verify that the powers outlets are grounded and preferably shielded from power surges and fluctuations. SIRIO power supply operates on any nominal line voltage between 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz.

Cables

Check planned cable lengths for video and control cables and make sure these lengths do not exceed specifications.

Ambient Light

Avoid or minimize light sources directed at the screen to preserve the quality of the projected image.

3 Installation SIRIO

User Guide

Connect cables as shown on picture.

To replace the lens, repeat the above steps in opposite sequence. Attempting to remove the lens without lens centering may cause damage to the lens assembly.

When carrying or moving the projector, do not handle by the lens. This may damage the lens, the chassis or other mechanical parts inside the projector. For the lens centering refer to “Projection Lens” on page 31.

3 Installation SIRIO

User Guide

Mounting

The projector can be Floor mounted (upright) or Ceiling mounted (inverted). Choose the method that best suits your installation.

Important: The projection lens is centered to the chassis. Make sure the centerline of

the lens is centered horizontally to the center of the screen before installing.

Floor Mounting

Position the projector on a secure and flat surface (such as a table or a shelf). Adjust front feets at the bottom of the projector until the projector is level on all sides.

Ceiling Mounting

Invert the projector and suspend it from the ceiling using a specific bracket.

•Attach bracket by using 4 x M8 screws not exceeding 16 mm in length

Orientation

By default, the SIRIO is configured for a Front installation (projector installed upright and in front of the screen). If the projector is installed behind the screen or inverted, you can use the image orientation function of the projector (see “Orientation” on page 31)

Vertical Lens Shift

Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way that:

•the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other

•the projected image fills the screen perfectly

For ceiling mounting use only SIM2-approved ceiling brackets and adhere to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided with the bracket. Do not over-tighten the screws.

3 Installation SIRIO

User Guide

If it is not possible to position the projector perpendicular to the projection screen (so that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other) you can use the motorized vertical shift (see page 31) to shift the projected image vertically. The SIRIO provides up to 60% of vertical lens shift up. For example, with a 16:9 150 in. diagonal size screen, you can shift the image up to 0.93 m (36.6 in.) above the screen center (see “Projection Distances” on page 42).

Keystone

If the projector is ceiling-mounted and the screen is lower than the projector, you may need to tilt the projector by adjusting the ceiling mount. If you do so:

•the top and bottom borders of the image will be unequal in length

•the sides of the image will be inclined

If the tilt is not excessive, you can use the Keystone function of the projector to correct the image shape. See “Keystone” on page 31.

Note: Keystone correction may cause artifacts in the image and may not be available

when displaying specific 3D content (see Table 4.2 on page 24).

Zoom and Focus

The SIRIO provides motorized Zoom and Focus controls. You can access these adjustments through the remote control directly:

•F1 key for optical Zoom

•F2 key for Focus

See “F1-F2 Keys” on page 33 for details.

Connections

Proceed as follows to connect the SIRIO to video sources, control devices, screen control systems, 3D sync emitter and AC power. When connecting your equipment:

•turn off all equipment before making any connections

•use the correct signal cables for each source

•make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard

•ensure that the cables are securely connected (tighten the thumbscrews on

connectors that have them)

Video

Often the sources (Blu-ray Players, DVD Players, Set Top Boxes, Game Consoles and so on) have several outputs. Choose HDMI whenever possible.

•HDMI The major benefits of this signal type are:

◦best image quality, because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the entire signal path ◦highest available resolution, because video sources can deliver full resolution content via HDMI only ◦availability of 3D content, because most 3D compatible sources deliver 3D content

3 Installation SIRIO

User Guide

from HDMI only ◦optimization of several image parameters (2D/3D content, color space, aspect, signal range, over scan), thanks to auxiliary information (AVI infoframe) sent by the source device together with the signal. If your source has dual HDMI outputs, we would recommend direct connection to the projector from one of the HDMI connections and the second HDMI output to the input of an appropriate AV receiver/processor for audio. Sources with a DVI-D output can be connected to the HDMI input of the projector using a suitable DVI-D to HDMI cable. In this case no auxiliary information is sent from the source to the projector.

Note: HDMI uses a code known as HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protection),

which protects the recorded supports from being copied illegally. The connection between the source and display require that the two devices perform a handshake and exchange code keys before being able to display an image. The InstaPort technology allows a simultaneous pre-authentification of every attached device at the same it is connected, reducing drastically the time required for HDMI source switching. For this reason you may note a slight delay before the image appears on the screen, but it is perfectly normal.

•Graphics RGB Input for Personal Computer and other sources that outputs RGB or

YPrPb signals. These sources must be able to provide separate H/V sync or composite H+V sync.

•RGB/YPrPb Input for DVD Players, Set Top Boxes and other sources that output one

of the following signals:

◦Component (YPrPb) ◦RGB with composite sync on green (RGsB) ◦RGB with HV composite sync

RGB connectors also provides RGB input for SCART RGBS sources.

•Video This is the the input for composite video sources (such as VCR or analog

camcorders). This connector is also the composite sync input for SCART RGBS sources. See “RGB/YPrPb” above.

Control

You can connect the SIRIO projector to a Personal Computer or a control system through one of the following methods:

•RS-232 port, using a standard 9-pin straight serial cable

•RS-232 port, using a USB to serial converter cable. In this case, installation of a device

driver provided by the cable manufacturer may be required

•USB port, using a USB Type A cable connector. In this case, installation of a device

driver provided by SIM2 may be required – ask your SIM2 Authorized Dealer

Note: RS-232 communications are limited to 15 m (50 ft.), whereas USB are limited to

5 m (16 ft.).

Triggers

Some Home Theater devices can be controlled through a 12 V signal. The projector can output three 12 V (100 mA max) signals:

•TRIG1 for motorized screens control

Note: Three jack adapters are shipped with the projector.

3D RF Emitter

The RF emitter sends the RF pulses that sync the 3D glasses. Proceed as follows to install the emitter:

1.Place the emitter near the projector on a secure surface or use an appropriate

mount kit. For maximum range emitter should not be placed on the ground/floor but should be placed at least 10 cm above ground (like on a shelf).

2.Connect the emitter connector to the corresponding 3D Sync Out output connector

in the projector.

3.Once the emitter is connected to the projector, please make sure that the projector

is in 3D mode. Check the X sign on the emitter; the red light should be on, indicating that the emitter is functioning.

3D Glasses

Proximity Association with 3D RF emitter

The following procedure has to be done every time the glasses are introduced to new 3D RF emitter. During the proximity association, 3D glasses shall be located within 1 m from 3D RF emitter. Switch on the glasses (1 short press on the button). LED will change from off to bright, indicating glasses power on. Press button for minimum of 1 second. After 1 second, LED will start to blink with a rate of 1 blink per 2 second. Release the button. Successful proximity association is indicated with 6 short LED blinks.

If glasses could not proximity associate LED will change from bright to off and glasses will go in power off state.

Connecting glasses to 3D RF emitter

Once glasses are associated with the emitter, they will automatically connect to that emitter every time they are switched on. If during the operation glasses lost the connection to the emitter, they will automatically try to reconnect to that emitter (LED is blinking with a rate of 1 blink per 2 seconds). If glasses cannot successfully reconnect to the emitter within 60 seconds, LED will change from bright to off and glasses will automatically go in power off state.

Indicating the battery state

If LED flashes every couple of seconds during the operation, battery level is low. Charging is indicated with lit LED.

Charging the battery

The glasses are shipped with the micro USB to USB Type A cable. To charge the glasses battery, plug the micro USB cable in a computer or other USB device capable of supplying power. LED will remain lit while glasses are charging. When battery is fully charged LED will go off.

3D Input Format

The SIRIO checks AVI infoframe data and input signal resolution in order to determine the appropriate 3D format. When automatic detection of 3D format is not possible, choose one of the following options:

•(S-S) Side by Side Left and right halves of the image are separated, rescaled and

displayed. This mode should be applied to 3D images composed of two stereoscopic images compressed to half of their original horizontal resolution and sent simultaneously.

•(T-B) Top and Bottom Top and bottom halves of the image are separated, rescaled

and displayed. This mode should be applied to 3D images composed of two stereoscopic images compressed to half of their original vertical resolution and sent simultaneously.

•(F-S) Frame Sequential This mode should be applied to 3D images that consist of a

sequence of alternating frames wherein each successive frame carries the image meant for one or the other eye.

Note: You may need to change the order in which left and right frames are displayed.

See “3D Left/Right” below.

3D Left/Right

Use this setting if the 3D effect has an uncomfortable look about it. This setting will change the perception of depth. It is important that the image destined for the left/right eye reaches the correct eye. Sometimes the easiest way to check is to pause the program content to check. For the effect to change you must press Esc to exit from the OSD.

•Normal Left and right frames are displayed in the native sequence.

•Swapped Left and right frames are swapped. Use this setting if image does not give

the correct sense of depth.

Brightness

Use this control to adjust the darker areas of the picture (black level), without 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 gray scale test pattern 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 of black objects alongside other dark colored objects and try to ensure that all the objects can be separately identified.

4 Operation SIRIO

User Guide

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 gray scale test pattern 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 objects with lower level lighting, and try to ensure that all the objects can be separately identified.

Color

This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases the picture color intensity. When set to zero, color images are shown in black and white. Increase the value until the colors appear natural: suitable references include skin tones and the green in grass in landscape shots.

Tint

This adjustment controls the purity of colors. 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 color bars as a reference. This adjustment is primarily used for NTSC sourced material.

Sharpness

This adjustment increases or decreases 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 large value may result in a noisy picture and the outline of images will have a high amount of edge enhancement.

Filter

This adjustment selects 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.

Sharpness Mode

This adjustment selects the type of processing associated with sharpness adjustment. For an interlaced or progressive video signal, set to Video; for PC graphics signals, set to Graphics. If the Video option is set, it applies Noise Reduction to increase the clarity of the image.

Cinema Mode

Use this option if the video signal source is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with 3:2 or 2:2 pull-down). In this case a deinterlace algorithm optimized for this type of signal is applied. Selecting Auto mode causes the deinterlacer to analyze signal characteristics and apply the correct deinterlace mode automatically.

Noise Reduction

This adjustment lets you choose the value of the noise reduction filter.

Mode

When viewing 2D contents, you can choose between two user modes:

4 Operation SIRIO

User Guide

Image

•PureMovie allows a pure and unprocessed presentation of the signal coming from your source. You can then choose whether or not to engage the DynamicBlack function. DynamicBlack works with PureMovie mode; it improves the level of black and increases the depth and the detail of the image especially in parts with low and medium brightness. It regulates light based on the informative content of the image being projected. Available settings are Off, Video and Movie. Off is recommended when using test pattern for measurement or calibration purposes.

•PureMotion specifically created for fast-action material, yields smooth motion, free from smear or judder. Activates the motion estimation/motion compensation function, which suppresses motion judder. Settings available are Off, Low, Medium, or

High. Default setting is Low.

Note: When viewing 3D contents, the PureMotion3D mode is automatically activated.

Aspect

This adjustment changes 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 1-9. The following aspects are available:

•Normal projects the image occupying the full height of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal. When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3, black vertical bands are displayed on the right and left of the picture.

4 Operation SIRIO

User Guide

•Anamorphic correctly displays a 16:9 image with over scan.

•Letterbox displays a 4:3 letterbox image (source signal with black bands above and

below the picture) in such a way that it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect. This aspect ratio is also recommended when using Anamorphic Lenses.

•Panoramic widens the 4:3 image cutting off a strip from the top and bottom. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4:3 image on the 16:9 screen of the display.

•Subtitles moves the image upwards, making enough space for the subtitles to be seen.

•Pixel to Pixel makes a pixel to pixel map of the image, without introducing any alteration or over scan to adapt it to the screen. The image is projected in the center of the screen and if its horizontal and vertical dimensions are smaller than the display, it is bordered by vertical and horizontal black bands.

•User 1, 2, 3 can be used if none of the preset formats are satisfactory. You change the size and shape of the image (and hence the aspect ratio) through the Horizontal and

Vertical adjustments.

Note: With Progressive HDMI signals of any resolution, the horizontal adjustment of

the User aspect works only for negative values. You can assign one or more trigger outputs to each aspect ratio. Those triggers are then activated by selecting that aspect ratio:

•Screen controls TRIG2 and be should be used for the control of a screen masking system

•Anamorphic Lens controls TRIG3 and should be used for the control of a motorized anamorphic lens mount

See “Connections” on page 11 for a description of Triggers and their functions.

Color Management

This menu is divided in three sections. Choose:

•1 on the remote control to activate the first column on the left (Primaries), Here you can select one of the five preset settings for primary color coordinates:

◦Native the projector native primary color coordinates ◦HDTV, EBU, SMPTE-C the primary color coordinates defined by the

standards

◦Auto the appropriate primary color coordinates for the current input signal (automatically identified)

Note: When using Live Color Calibration software, two additional custom modes will

become available. Live Color Calibration lets you define a custom color gamut in terms of primaries (red, green and blue), secondaries (yellow, cyan and magenta) and white color coordinates. Therefore when one of these custom modes is selected, sections 2 and 3 are disabled.

•2 on the remote control to activate the central column (White Point), where you can select one of the nine preset settings of the white point:

◦Standard the white point associated to the value selected in column 1 ◦High, Medium, Low default white balance levels ◦Native the projector native white point ◦D75, D65, D50 the C standard CIE illuminants

4 Operation SIRIO

User Guide

◦User a white point that can be adjusted according to your personal preferences as follows:

▪press the number 3 on the remote control to activate the User column ▪position the white point within the CIE chromaticity diagram

Note: To accurately set the Primaries and White Point you will need access to

specialized color measuring equipment and also the knowledge to use such equipment. Alternatively, contact the SIM2 Authorized Dealer where you purchased your product and ask them to arrange for an ISF certified calibrator to set up your projector.

Gamma Correction

Determines the projector response to the gray scale, emphasizing or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark, medium and light grays, whites) in the projected image. Choose the setting that is appropriate to the type of video source, the ambient lighting and your subjective preferences. The available settings are:

•Natural the default preset curve, appropriate for most situations

•Dynamic the preset curve that increases the detail in the dark areas of the image

•Parametric that lets you select the coefficient that determines the curve.

Coefficient values smaller than 2.2 emphasize the detail of dark images, while reducing overall contrast. Values larger 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 obtain pleasant and well-contrasted images.

Note: When using Live Color Calibration software, Natural and Dynamic preset curves

can be replaced by two custom curves.

Overscan

Removes the outer edges of the image and magnifies the remaining portion of the image to fill the display area. It is useful with sources that output images with imperfections around their borders.

Position

Use this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizontally. These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the projector checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly centered it may prove useful to make the projector repeat the input signal analysis and image positioning, activating the automatic adjustment procedure with the Auto key on the remote control. When this procedure is requested it is helpful to have a white or light colored background in the current picture on the screen.

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. The projector usually detects the most suitable values but, if the image is disturbed (loss of resolution between equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of detail in thin vertical lines), you can press Auto on the remote control to activate the automatic adjustment function. If the automatic procedure fails to achieve the required effect, enter the Frequency and Phase values

4 Operation SIRIO

User Guide

Setup

manually and move sufficiently close to the screen to observe the effects of the adjustments.

Y/C Delay

Where Video signals are concerned, use this adjustment to correct horizontal color misalignment within the projected image. For a given video standard (for example PAL or NTSC) the stored value does not normally require further adjustment, unless the source or connection cable is changed.

Signal Range

Determines the signal data range of HDMI signals. It is available when the HDMI signal comes from a RGB source or when the AVI (Auxiliary Video Information) infoframe of the HDMI signal is missing or inconsistent.

•Auto determines the signal range using the information provided by the AVI infoframe of the HDMI signal. If the AVI infoframe is missing or incosistent, the projector uses values 0-255. Auto (which is the default setting) usually selects the correct signal range but you can force either 16-235 or 0-255

•16-235 sets black at R, G, B = 16 and white at R, G, B = 235, to match the luminance values of digital component standards

•0-255 sets black at R, G, B = 0 and white at R, G, B = 255

This menu section provides access to installation adjustments.

Orientation

Selects the orientation of the projected image. Available settings are: Floor, Ceiling, Floor Rear and Ceiling Rear.

Keystone

This adjustment compensates the distortion resulting from the angle of projection.

Note: Keystone may cause artifacts in the image and may not be available when

displaying specific 3D content (see Table 4.2). SIM2 recommends that you use this feature only when necessary.

Projection Lens

To set the custom settings for zoom, focus, vertical and/or horizontal shift is necessary to enter the SETUP menu, Projection Lens or more quickly by pressing the F1 button on the remote control.

•Zoom: see zoom on page 33

•Focus: see focus on page 33

•Lens Shift: use ◂, ▸, ▴ or ▾ to shift horizontally and/or vertically the projected image

•Lens Center: auto lens adjustment to reach on-axis position.

•Vertical Picture offset: vertical compensation for the center shift of image (see note).

•Lens Shift Calibration: Perform calibration and return lens to the center position

•Lens Zoom-Focus Calibration: Perform zoom and focus motors calibration

There is the possibility to save the settings for the positions of zoom, focus, vertical and/or horizontal shift corresponding to a video format for each type of signal, for each input of the projector. (see “Memories” on page 34)

4 Operation SIRIO

User Guide

Note: In the case of off-axis projection, zooming in and out, you get a changing of the

center of the image corresponding to the amount of the off-axis. This changing amount must be compensate with the vertical and/or horizontal shift. The zoom, focus, vertical and/or horizontal shift do not work for the LENSM0 as it is a fixed zoom lens.

Warning: After you have selected and confirmed the lens shift calibration, the lens

starts to move. Do not touch, or place anything near the lens, otherwise it may cause injury or a malfunction. With some setting positions, the range of lens shift may be restricted, even though the unit is installed within the specified parameters.

Lamp Settings

•Lamp Power: set the value of the lamp power (in Watts). The power ratings ranging from 280W to 350W, with a step of 10W. Lower values decrease brightness but extend the life of the lamp.

•Lamp Selection: select which lamp(s) is in use.

•1: one lamp illuminates, the lamp #1

•2: one lamp illuminates, the lamp #2

•Both: two lamps illuminate: lamp #1 and lamp #

• Auto Switch Time: This function is enabled if it is working only one lamp.

It is possible to set the number of hours after that the projector will automatically switch the lamp for uniform lamp comsuption and uniform brightness. By default the projector will automatically switches the lamp on failure. The time ranging from 0 to 100 hours. The Auto Switch function, at indicated time, will be enabled if it will be different from zero value, and it coming at next projector power-up, not when displaying an image. For example, consider current lamp is Lamp #1, with 120 hours, and Lamp #2 have 80 hours, and "Auto Switch Time" is setting to the value 30. When Lamp #1 reaches 150 hours, projector will auto switch to lamp #2.

•When Lamp #2 reaches 110 hours, projector will auto switch again to lamp #1.

“No Signal” Message is displayed

•Make sure the correct Input is selected.

•Make sure the desired video source is on and its output is configured correctly.

•Check cable connection from the desired video source to the projector.

No image is displayed

•Check the shutter is not active.

Remote control does not work

•When using the remote, point it directly at the front of the projector.

•Remove any obstacles between the remote and the infrared sensor in the front of the

projector.

•Make sure the remote control batteries are in good condition and are inserted correctly.

3D content cannot be displayed

•Turn the projector off and the 3D source off.

•Ensure your source is 3D compatible and the 3D output is enabled. Ensure 1080p

resolution and 24 Hz options are enabled in the 3D source to enjoy full HD 3D viewing. (See your 3D source user guide).

•Turn the projector on first and then turn the 3D source on. Try to play 3D content again.

•Ensure the emitter is connected and your glasses are switched on

3D content is displayed as two near-identical images

•If they are next to each other, press the 3D key on the remote control and then choose Side by Side 3D Input Format.

•If they are one above the other, press the 3D key on the remote control and then choose Top and Bottom 3D Input Format.

3D image lacks depth

•Press the 3D key on the remote control, highlight the 3D Left/Right setting and then choose the value (either Normal or Swapped) that restores the correct sense of depth in the image.

HDMI Connection Issues

•3D requires a substantial data throughput therefore use a good quality High Speed HDMI cable – with or without Ethernet.

•Avoid using excessively long HDMI cables as this contributes to poor connection issues.

◦Cable lengths over 10 m are not recommended. ◦Avoid using HDMI cables that have illuminated plugs or active systems that draw on

the 5 V supply rail. If the 5 V drops lower than 4.7 V you will not get any picture!

•Sparkles of random color on screen. This usually means that the cable doesn’t have the bandwidth capabilities to handle the signal.

◦Try changing the cable or use a shorter cable. ◦Try using a lower resolution for example if you are using 1080p try switching to

1080i. If this solves the problem the cable is the likely culprit.

•When switching inputs on either the projector or the AV Receiver/Processor sometimes the picture is either green or pink. This usually means the incorrect color standard has been selected. This is sent automatically every time you switch HDMI inputs but sometimes the information is not received by the display. ◦Reselect input, if problem persists disconnect the HDMI cable to either the display or output of the receiver and reconnect – this instigate a hot-plug detect and should resolve the issue. ◦If the problem persists check with your AV receiver/processor/Blu-ray manufacturer for the latest software updates. ◦Try a different HDMI cable.

•Snowy picture. This means that the HDCP system has not authorized the playback of the material.

◦Usually re-selecting the input will resolve the problem. ◦If the problem persists then it is more than likely to be cable related. Try other

cables. ◦Try bypassing other product in the system chain. For example connect the Blu-ray player direct to the projector.
