Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the projector?

Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on your computer. Only one PC audio input is available.

NOTE: You do not need to restart

your computer after connecting a

USB mouse to use it (it is hot-

pluggable).

Plug the other end of the audio cable into the connector on the projector.

Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop. Skip to “Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image” on page 13.

Connecting a Video Player

If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, you’ll need only the audio cable, audio adapter, and composite video cable that shipped with the projector.

NOTE: HDTV sources must be

connected to the projector using

the M1-DA computer cable (not a

composite or S-video cable).

•

If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need the S-video cable in addition to the audio cable and audio adapter.

Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 8). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.”

•

If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video out” connector on the video player (Figure 9).

Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video connector

on the projector.

•

If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into the “S-video” connector

on the projector (Figure 9).

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image

NOTE: Always use the power cord

that shipped with the projector.

Remove the lens cap.

Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

Press the Power button on the side of the projector.

NOTE: The first time you connect

your computer to the projector, the

computer may display a message

stating that new hardware was

found. The Add New Hardware

Wizard may appear. Use the Wiz-

ard to load the correct driver (the

computer considers the projector a

Plug and Play Monitor).

•

The fans start to run, the LED on the top of the projector (Figure 13 on page 18) lights green, and the startup screen appears. It takes about one minute for the image to achieve full brightness.

If you connected a video player, turn it on.

•

The video image should display on the projection screen. If a computer source is active, press the

source

button on the

keypad (page 18) or the

video

button on the remote to display your video image. You can select a default source to determine which source the projector examines first during power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 28.

•

Use the

volume

buttons to adjust the volume.

Turn on your computer.

NOTE: With some computers,

the order in which you power up

the equipment is very important.

Most computers should be turned

on last, after all other peripherals

have been turned on. Refer to your

computer’s documentation to

determine the correct order.

•

The computer image should display on the projection screen. If a video source is active, press the

source

button on

the keypad or the

computer

button on the remote to display your computer’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 43 for details.

•

If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the projector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the

button on the keypad or remote, then select the Display or Image menu. For more information about the menus, see page 20.

S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r

Turning Off the Projector

If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the

standby

button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby Time” on page 27 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby mode, press the

standby

button again. (It may take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the image again.)

NOTE: To maximize lamp life,

allow the projector to run for at

least five minutes before turning

it off.

To completely power off the projector, press the Power button. If you want to turn the lamp back on immediately, you must allow about a minute for the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.

USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.

Basic Image Adjustment

Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 13).

If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image (page 17), adjust the height of the projector (page 17) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 26). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen.

If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 17).

If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 24) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image off and adjust the sync (page 25) and/or the tracking (page 25) manually.

If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 21).

Using the Remote Control

To control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s remote or keypad, you must connect the USB mouse connector on the computer cable to the computer. See page 10 for details.

The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons, a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom.

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the projector.
