Description, Features and Benefits
The Vivitek D8300 provides state-of-the-art technology for 1080P picture performance, Full HD (1920 x 1080) native
resolution for crystal clear, pristine images. The D8300 offers incredibly high definition images at today’s highest
available resolutions. Equipped with precision optics, the D8300 includes zoom, focus and lens shift controls for a throw
range of 1.85:1 to 2.40:1. For a smaller throw distance (1.56:1 to 1.86:1), the D8300 can be fitted with a varying optics
package (optional) to meet different requirements. Exceptional scaling and film-to-video (3:2 pull-down) conversion
is easily achieved. Combined with Vivitek’s sophisticated parameters for white balancing, the D8300’s proprietary
deinterlacing technology provides the highest level of devel-opment for gray-scale and color balancing and artifact-free
images. Completing this engineering marvel are discrete infrared (IR) and RS-232 control, power and source selection
controls for seamless, flexible operation.

Notes on Remote Control Operation
●In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will reflect the IR signal
from the re-mote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In some cases, however, ambient conditions
may prevent this. If so, point the remote control at the projector and try again.
● 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 fluores-
cent lighting.

To install batteries in the remote control
STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Install two AA batteries with the correct polarity.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes on Batteries
y Make sure that the battery polarities are correct when installing the batteries.
y Do not mix an old battery with a new one or different types of batteries.
y If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage.
Installation Considerations
Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs
optimally.
Ambient Light
In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your images will be noticeably
reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image.
Images may then appear washed out and less vibrant.
Requires separate room Installation cost is usually higher
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 a desired screen size and if your image will be the right size for your screen. You can quickly estimate the throw distance by
taking the width of the screen and multiplying it by the lens throw ratio; see Figure 3-2. The result of this calculation tells
you roughly how far back the projector should be positioned from the screen in order to project a focused image large
enough to fill the screen.
Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (W) x Throw Ratio (TR)

IR Reception eective Angles: 40°

Note:
Avoid placing the remote control at places of high temperature or humidity as it could cause the remote control to
malfunction.
Throw Distance (TD)
Two models of the D8300 are available, one with 1.56-1.86:1 lens and the other with 1.85-2.40:1 lens With optional zoom
adaptors throw ratios of 1.24 – 3.0 can be achieved. The standard D8300 offers throw ratios between 1.85:1 and 2.40:1.
With the optional, short-throw lens, the D8300 offers throw ratios between 1.56:1 and 1.86:1.
Modes of installation
Frontal projection - desktop installaion
Advantages: easy to install can be easily moved or adjusted
easy to operate.
Disadvantage: occupies floor space and limits seating capac-
ity.
Rear projection - desktop installaion
Advantage: the projector is completely hidden from plain
view the projector can be easily operated this
setup usually offers better reduction of ambient
noise.
