NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
CAUTION:
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.
5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could cause damage to this unit.
10. Only use accessories specified by Vidikron.
11. Keep the packing material in case the equipment should ever need to be shipped.
12. Unplug this projector during lightning storms or when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
13. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool down for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way, objects have fallen or spilled into the projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Vidikron Vision Model 90t or Model 100t (“Vision 90t/100t“) Digital Light Processing (DLP™) Projector, among the world’s first THX high-definition home theater projectors.
Note
The Vision 90t/100t has been specifically engineered to produce high performance video in the kinds of environments most people use to enjoy their entertainment. Most high-end video projectors are intended for use in dedicated home theater environments with controlled lighting. However, many people prefer to have their entertainment systems in the rooms they use for everyday living.
Vidikron has responded by creating the Vision Model 90t and Model 100t. The Vision 90t/100t produces very high quality, high-resolution pictures even in rooms with plenty of light. The result is a plasma-like picture on a very large screen, even in daylight, with drapes open and lights ablaze!
Vidikron has accomplished this by incorporating the most advanced 3-chip, high definition DLP™ technology. Unlike previous, single-chip implementations of DLP, no color wheel is used. This reduces mechanical complexity and compromises to color spectrum purity. The Vision 90t/100t is enhanced further by significant horizontal and vertical lens shift capability for maximum installation flexibility.
This technology is integrated into a specially designed light engine developed by Vidikron engineers to provide the perfect blend of high-quality image reproduction and extremely high light output. As a result, the Vision 100 produces an amazing 3500 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 78.5 ft-Lamberts). The Vision 90 produces an impressive 2250 ANSI lumens of light output (CSMS™ light output of 45.3 ft-Lamberts).
THX recommends the use of 720p source material for optimal performance with this product.

1.3 Description, Features and Benefits

The Vision 90t/100t’s 16:9 native aspect ratio Digital Micromirror Device™ (DMD™) array makes it ideal for widescreen viewing, while its 3-chip, 1280 x 720 native resolution produces crisp, crystal clear high definition images with richly saturated colors, deep black levels and natural, highly refined detail.
Vidikron’s exclusive all-digital Imagix™ video processing is integrated into the projector chassis for the most advanced video scaling and image quality available. This advanced design provides pure digital connections from input to light engine for absolutely stellar pictures. In addition, Vidikron’s multiple aspect ratio control includes its unique IntelliWide™ mode for viewing standard video formats in widescreen without loss of image quality.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope” (2.35:1) format, the Vision 90t/100t can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending CineWide™ with AutoScope™ system, which maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to
2.35:1, the image simply gets wider while full height is maintained.
Note
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.

CineWide with AutoScope requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format screen.
Introduction
The Vision 90t/100t is available in both a soft white or a graphite gray chassis to blend seamlessly in your home theater environment.

3Installation

To install batteries in the remote control, press up on the battery cover retainer clip and lift off the cover. Install the two AAA batteries with the correct polarity and then replace the cover.
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
• If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage.
• Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR receiver on the projector.
• If the effective range of the remote control decreases, or it stops working, replace the
batteries with new ones.
• The remote control may fail to operate if the infrared remote sensor is exposed to bright
sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
• Ambient conditions may possibly impede the operation of the remote control. If this
happens, point the remote control at the projector, and repeat the operation.

Notes on Batteries• Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
