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

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.
