General precautions
Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
Use only the power cable provided.
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this
equipment MUST be earthed.
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any
liquids on top of the projector.
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a
damaged power cable.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole
module should be replaced.
Only lamps supplied by D8300 and intended for this
projector should be used. Fitting any other lamp could damage both
projector and lamp, and will invalidate the warranty.
Take care when removing the lamp module.
NEVER touch the lamp or reflector.
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you
do accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use. (see
section 5. Maintenance.)
Do not use the lamp for more than 2000 hours, as this may cause
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on
replacement.
HID lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the light
coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as
magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in
serious eye damage.
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation outlets or inlets.
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could
cause a fire
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before disconnecting
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to
clean the projector and lens.

Installation precautions
The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified personnel, in
accordance with local building codes.
The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as
possible.
The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be
disconnected in an emergency.
Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.
The projector weighs approximately 9 kg (20 lbs). Use safe handling
techniques when lifting the projector.
Do not stack more than three projectors.
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that
the stresses are distributed to all four chassis corners.
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight
of all the projectors.
Backup safety chains or wires should always be used with ceiling
mount installations.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the
chassis corners are capable of withstanding the weight of another
projector.
Do not drop or knock the projector.
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.
Do not tilt the projector more than ±12° in either direction when in use,
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and
cause extra cost on replacement.
Operation and configuration precautions
Software update should NOT be carried out except by, or with the
supervision of, D8300 Service personnel.

Screen requirements
Aspect ratio
Fitting the image to the DMD
The projector uses a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) to create the image that is
projected onto the screen. The resolution of the DMD in this projector is 1920 x
1080 pixels, or to put it another way, its aspect ratio is 16:9.
If the source image supplied to the projector has a different aspect ratio from this,
or even if it has the same aspect ratio but fewer pixels, then the image will not fill
the DMD. The projector therefore needs to scale the image.
The projector has five aspect ratio settings, so that you can choose the one that is
most suitable for your image source. The settings are:
16:9 the image is scaled to fill the DMD (and thus, a 16:9 screen).
Theaterscope the image is scaled such that a 2.35:1 image will be displayed
at the correct aspect ratio when the projector is fitted with an
anamorphic lens. Thus an image with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1
can be displayed using the full 16:9 resolution of the DMD.
4:3 the image is scaled to fit a 4:3 screen, using the full height of the
DMD.
4:3 Narrow to be used for 4:3 images in combination with an anamorphic
lens. The image is scaled to fit the DMD vertically, but squeezed
horizontally such that the lens will stretch it to the correct ratio.
Native the image is displayed with no scaling, at its original resolution, in
the centre of the screen.
Examples of 16:9 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings
Note that, as the aspect ratio of the image matches that of the DMD, the 16:9
setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller image,
for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source.
Notes
For more information about
changing the Aspect ratio
setting, see Using the control
keys and Using the menus
in section 4. Controlling the
Projector.
The 16:9 image shown here has
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x
1080 of the DMD. Your image
may be different.

Page 2.3
Examples of 4:3 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings
The 4:3 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller
Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the
same source.
If you are using an anamorphic lens, the 4:3 Narrow setting should be used. The
lens will stretch the image to the correct width.
Examples of 2.35:1 images displayed with different aspect ratio
settings
The 16:9 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the
smaller Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from
the same source.
If you have an anamorphic lens, the Theaterscope setting would be a much better
option. Because it uses the whole of the DMD, it will be a much brighter image than
the letterboxed options shown above, and will fill a wider screen if this is available.
Notes
The 4:3 image shown here has
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x
1080 of the DMD. Your image
may be different.
If you are using an anamorphic
lens, you will need to use the
4:3 Narrow setting to correct the
image.
The 2.35 image shown here has
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x
1080 of the DMD. Your image
may be different.
To take advantage of the
Theaterscope setting, you
MUST have an anamorphic
lens.

Diagonal screen sizes
Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When
dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is
more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into
width and height, at various aspect ratios.
2.35:1 (Scope)
W = D x 0.92in (D x .023m) H = D x 0.39in (D x .01m)
1.85:1
W = D x 0.88in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.47in (D x .012m)
16:9 = 1.78:1 (native aspect ratio)
W = D x 0.87in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.49in (D x .0125m)
1.66:1 (Vista)
W = D x 0.86in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.52in (D x .013m)
16:10 = 1.6:1
W = D x 0.85in (D x .022m) H = D x 0.53in (D x .014m)
4:3 = 1.33:1
W = D x 0.8in (D x .02m) H = D x 0.6in (D x .015m)
D = diagonal (inches)
W = width
H = height
Notes
Page 2.5
Fitting the image to the screen
It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at
all the aspect ratios you are planning to use.
Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are
able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufficient height or width,
you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on
your screen.

Positioning the screen and projector
Optimum viewing position
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor.
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the
screen.
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at
least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen
should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should
be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.
Notes
The projector should be
installed as close to the
power outlet as possible.
The power connection should
be easily accessible, so that
it can be disconnected in an
emergency.
Ensure that there is at least
30cm (12in) of space between
the ventilation outlets and
any wall, and 10cm (4in) on
all other sides.
Do not install the projector
close to anything that
might be affected by its
operational heat, for instance,
polystyrene ceiling tiles,
curtains etc.
The image can be flipped for
rear projection (see section
4. Using the menus, Image
menu) and displayed without
the need for extra mirrors or
equipment.
However, you must ensure
that there is sufficient distance
behind the screen for the
projector to be correctly located.
Rear installation is generally
more complicated and advice
should be sought from your
local dealer before attempting it.
Page 2.7
Screen size vs throw distance
Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the
screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines
whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with the desired
screen size, and if your image will be the right size for your screen.
Calculating screen width and throw distance
Throw Distance = Screen Width x Lens Throw Ratio

Notes
For more information about the
relationship between screen
size, throw distance and
converter lenses, see the Lens
charts on the following pages.
Do not confuse the focus range
with the zoom range:
- the focus range is the distance
over which the image can be
focused using the focus ring.
- the zoom range is the range
over which the throw ratio can
be changed using the zoom
ring.
The converter lens is not
physically compatible with the
Fixed lens.

Shifting the image
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen.
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you
can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image
using the Lens shift controls on the top of the projector to maintain a geometrically
correct image.
The image can be shifted by up to:
± 0.6 of the height of a full screen image (known as 120% shift)
± 0.15 of the width of a full screen image (known as 30%)

Mounting the projector
The four adjustable feet under the chassis allow the projector to be lowered onto a
flat surface without any danger of hands being trapped between the bottom frame
and the surface.
Ceiling mounting
The projector is designed to be used on a flat surface, but it can be suspended
from a ceiling. Three M4 mounting holes with a 0.7mm pitch are provided under the
projector to allow bolting to a ceiling mounting plate.
To use the projector upside down, set Ceiling mode to On, in the System menu, to
invert the image.
Level adjustment
If the projector is to be operated from a flat surface such as a projector table, then
adjustment of projector level should be made by turning the four feet under the
chassis.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen, and the lens
shift controls used to align the image with the screen, to maintain a geometrically
correct image.
Notes
BEFORE INSTALLING THE
PROJECTOR, READ ALL THE
WARNINGS BELOW AND
ALL THOSE IN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION AT THE
FRONT OF THIS MANUAL.
The projector weighs
approximately 9 kg (20 lbs).
Use safe handling techniques
when lifting the projector.
Make sure that the surface,
ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is
capable of supporting the
weight of the projector.
Backup safety chains or
wires should always be
used with ceiling mount
installations.
Do not tilt the projector more
than ±12° in either direction
when in use, as this may
cause serious lamp failure,
damage the lamp module
and cause extra cost on
replacement.

Notes
For more detailed information
about using the menus, see
section 4. Controlling the
projector.
Do not try to stack more than
three projectors.
When stacking projectors,
the stack MUST be vertical, to
ensure that the stresses are
distributed to all four chassis
corners.
Make sure that the surface,
ceiling or rigging that is
to support the projector is
capable of supporting the
combined weight of all the
projectors.
Do not place heavy objects
on top of the projector
chassis. Only the chassis
corners are capable of
withstanding the weight of
another projector.
Backup safety chains or
wires should always be
used with ceiling mount
installations.

Stacking projectors
The projector is capable of supporting the weight of up to three other projectors
safely. The stack should be positioned vertically and perpendicular to the screen,
and the lens shift controls used to align the image with the screen, to maintain a
geometrically correct image.
Carefully lower each projector down onto the top of the others, making sure that
they are vertically aligned with each other, and protected from becoming pushed
over.
Align the images from the projectors, using the Lens shift controls on the top of
the projector.
!
!
Rear projection
To use rear projection, set Rear Projection to On, in the System menu, to reverse
the image.
In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may
be used to fold the optical path. The position of the projector and mirror must be
accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for
assistance

The control panel
The projector control panel is designed to be read from the front or rear of the
projector, for ease of use.
The menu navigation keys are similar to those on the remote control, and are
described in detail in Using the menus, later in this section.
POWER
Press this once to switch the projector ON or twice to switch it to
STANDBY mode.
SOURCE Press this repeatedly to cycle through the input sources, in the
following order:
HDMI 1, HDMI 2, RGB, Composite 1, Composite 2, Video,
S-Video, HDMI 1...
If you select a source that IS connected and active, the projector
will automatically adjust to the parameters of the signal, and
display it.
If you select a source that is NOT connected or active, the
projector will continue searching through the input sources until it
finds a valid signal.
LED status indicators
The indicators on the control panel are as follows:
POWER off = NO POWER steady blue = normal RUNNING mode
flashing blue = LAMP WARM-UP or COOL-DOWN mode
ISSUE off = NO ERROR flashing or steady red = ERROR
STANDBY amber = STANDBY mode
Notes
Many features are controlled
from the menus using the menu
navigation keys on the remote
control or the projector control
panel.
For more information about
using the menus, see later in
this section, Using the menus.
Always allow the lamp to cool

In most situations, you can
simply point the remote control
at the screen which will reflect
the IR signal from the remote
back toward the receiver on the
projector.
In some cases, however,
ambient conditions may prevent
this. In this case, point the
remote control directly at the
projector.

There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the lamp module.
The whole module should be
replaced.
Only lamps supplied by
D8300 and
intended for this projector
should be used. Fitting any
other lamp could damage
both projector and lamp, and
will invalidate the warranty.
At the end of life, the lamp
will not strike, and the Issue
indicator on the control panel
!"##$%&'($)*+,$-Typical lamp life
is 2000 hours)
Do not use the lamp for more
than 2000 hours, as this may
cause serious lamp failure,
damage the lamp module
and cause extra cost on
replacement.
Take care not to touch the
glass surface of the lamp
module. If you do accidentally
touch the glass, it should be
cleaned before use.
HID lamps produce high
intensity light. Do not look
directly at the light coming
from the lamp housing or the
lens.
Opening the lamp door will
switch the projector OFF. The
projector cannot be operated
until the door is fully closed.
Page 5.3
Cleaning the fans
Turn the power OFF and wait until the fans stop.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the inlet and outlet fans, as shown below.

2.
Notes
Always switch the projector
OFF before cleaning the fans.
Always allow the lamp to cool
for 5 minutes before:
- disconnecting the power
- moving the projector
- changing the lamp
The fans should be cleaned
regularly:
In a clean environment such as
!"#$%&'()#!%*(+#,--#.$/+01
In a dusty or smoky
environment such as a theatre
$+#2/345'#!+(!)#6$+(#%+(7/("*#
cleaning may be necessary.

All commands consist of ascii text strings starting with 2 letters:
ky for key commands.
op for operations commands.
All commands end with an ascii Carriage Return character.
Key Commands
Key commands are used to simulate remote control key presses, and use the
following format:
ky <keyname> [CR]
Example
ky pow.on [CR] simulates the POWER ON key being pressed.
The commands
Code transmitted <keyname> Description
0x01 pow.on

Operation Commands
Operation commands are used to simulate menu operations and determine the
settings of the projector, and use the following format:
op <operation> <command> [CR]
The <command> string can take one of the following formats:
<command> Description
Set = <value> Makes the setting take that value.
Get ? Asks what the current value is.
The value is returned as an ascii text string.
Increment + Adds 1 to the current value.
Decrement - Subtracts 1 from the current value.
Execute (none) Performs an action.
Example
op aspect =1 [CR] sets the aspect ratio to Theaterscope.
op aspect ? [CR] asks what is the current aspect ratio.
op bright + [CR] increments the brightness setting.
op resync [CR] commands the projector to attempt to re-synchronise to the
current input source.
