15. Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.

16. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.

17. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's wall socket and call your local service center to have the projector serviced.

18. This product is capable of displaying inverted pictures for ceiling mount installation.

Use only qualified ceiling mount kit for mounting the projector and ensure it is securely installed.

19. When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.

20. Do not use the Security bar for transporting or installation. It should be used with a commercially available theft prevention cable.

Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use an inappropriate projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your projector. We recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the mini-B jack on the projector.

3. Press Source to select USB B as the input signal.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting a monitor

If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:

To connect the projector to a monitor:

1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page

16.

2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.

Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.

3. Connect the other end of the cable to the MONITOR OUT socket on the projector.

• The MONITOR OUT output only works when COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 is made

to the projector.

• To use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, turn on the Active

VGA Out function under the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Standby Settings menu.

Connection16

Connecting Video source devices

You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:

• Component Video

•S-Video

• Video (composite)

You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.

See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 18 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.

See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 19 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.

Connection 17

Connecting a Component Video source device

VGA-Component adapter (ViewSonic P/N: CB-00008906)

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available:

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.

• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:

1. Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.

2. Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 socket on the projector.

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct

video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

•

Connecting an S-Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket available:

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.

• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:

1. Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video source device.

2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector.

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct

video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

• If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this

S-Video source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to this device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. See "Connecting Video source devices" on page 17 for details.

Connection18

Connecting a composite Video source device

Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video output sockets available:

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.

• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:

1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the Video source device.

2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct

video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

• You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if Component

Video and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See "Connecting Video source devices"

on page 17 for details.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 66 for details.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.
