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 1STEP 2STEP 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)

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.

Other Considerations
y Install the projector in an environment below 35°C (95°F). The projector should be kept clear from sources of heat
and / or ventilation openings of air conditioner.
y The projector should be kept away from devices that emit electromagnetic energy, such as motor and transformer.
Common devices that emit electromagnetic energy include slideshow system, speakers, power amplifiers and
elevators.
y If you choose to install the projector on the ceiling, be sure to use the ceiling installation components
manufactured by manufacturer-certified vendors. For details, please contact your local dealer.
y Ensure that the intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
Allow at least 50 cm clearance around the exhaust vent.

OSD Introduction - ADVANCE
● COLOR SPACE
When the source signal for HDMI, RGB, and component connections. You can select different color space for
different color performance.
● The default setting, Auto, functions as follows:
HDMI: If the Auxiliary Video Information (AVI) infoframe contains color space and/or range data, the D8300 uses
that information. Otherwise, for RGB sources, the D8300 uses the RGB-Video color space. For component SDTV
and EDTV resolutions, REC601 is used. For other component video resolutions, REC709 is used.
RGB: If Hsync or Vsync signals are present, the D8300 uses the RGB-PC color space. Otherwise, REC601 is used
for SDTV and EDTV sources, and REC709 for all other sources.
Component: For SDTV and EDTV resolutions, the D8300 uses the REC601 color space. For all other resolutions
REC709 is used.
● In most cases, the Auto setting determines the correct color space to use. If it does not, you can force the D8300
to use a specific color space. Choose one of the following:
REC709 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.709.
REC601 sets the color space matrix to that defined in ITU-R BT.601.
RGB-PC uses RGB color space and sets black at 0,0,0 RGB and white at 255,255,255 RGB, assuming an 8-bit im-
age.
RGB-Video uses RGB color space and sets black at 16,16,16 RGB and white at 235,235,235, assuming an 8-bit
image, to correspond to the luminance values defined in digital component standards.
Different countries may use different video signal formats. Please choose the video standard in your area.
● Auto
The color systems are automatically identified and the format is set accordingly.
● NTSC (National Television Systems Committee)
This is the standard format used mainly in the United States and Japan.
● PAL (Phase Alternation By Line)
This is the standard used in Europe, Australia and many other parts of the world, typically with a 50Hz frame
rate.
● SECAM (Sequential Color With Memory)
This is a standard format used mainly in France and Russia. Gamma: Select Gamma from the ADVANCED menu
to choose a DLP de-gamma curve. Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining
good details for blacks and whites. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it becomes difficult or
impossible to see details in dark areas, low-er the gamma setting to compensate. This improves contrast while
maintaining good details for blacks. Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail
in black areas, increase the setting.
Note:
Generally speaking, the projector will be able to automatically detect the video standard used in your area. However, there are
circumstance where the projector will fail to interpret the video standard used and the user will have to manually configure
the video format. If you are unsure of the video standard used in your area, please contact a qualified personnel and inquire
about the video standard used in your area.
● Gamma
Different Gamma settings will affect viewers’ perception of the image. Generally speaking, for images that are darker,
it is recommended that Gamma be set higher to yield better image quality in darker regions by sacrificing details in
brighter areas. In contrast, when projecting brighter images, you can set the Gamma lower to give up details in the
darker areas to make the brighter areas (i.e. clouds) more visible.
● CRT sets the gamma to 2.5.
● Film sets the gamma to 2.2.
● Video is similar to Film gamma but differs in dark areas of the image to correspond to the function that video
cameras use to create images.
● Bright sets the gamma to 2.0.
● Graphics should only be used for computer presentations that require increased brightness at the cost of
grayscale accuracy.
● RGB Adjust
For remove any trace of color from the white areas of the projected image.
● Gain
Use the Gain controls to correct color imbalances in the bright areas of the image. A good way to do this is to
use a test pattern consisting mostly of solid white areas, such as an 80 IRE “window” pattern. If the white areas
contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Gain for that color.
● Offset
Use the Offset controls in the RGB Adjust sub-menu to correct color imbalances in the dark areas of the image.
A good way to do this is to use a test pattern consisting mostly of dark gray areas, such as a 30 IRE “window”
pattern. If the gray areas contain traces of red, green or blue, decrease the Offset for that color.
The Gain controls increase or decrease the full-scale input range; the Offset controls shift the entire range,
resulting in a change in brightness.
Generally, higher Gain settings reduce the image contrast; higher Offset settings reduce the image brightness.

y V Position:
Select this function to adjust the vertical position of the image within the designated image area, up to 25%
up or down of the image height.
y H Position
Select this function to adjust the horizontal position of the image within the designated image area, up to 25%
right or left of the image width.
y Phase (for RGB or Component sources)
This control adjusts the phase of the pixel sampling clock relative to the incoming signal. Adjust the phase
when an RGB or Component image still shows shimmer or “noise” after Tracking has been optimized.
Note:
Adjust the Phase after adjusting Tracking (see below). If some shimmer from a video or HDTV source persists, use the
Noise Reduction controls to remove high-frequency noise from the signal.
y Tracking (for RGB or Component sources)
Tracking determines the frequency of the pixel sampling clock, indicated by the number of incoming pixels
per line, so that all pixels generated by a particular source are sampled.
Steady flickering or several soft vertical stripes or bands across the entire image indicates poor pixel tracking.
Proper pixel tracking helps ensure that the image quality is consistent across the screen, that aspect ratio is
maintained and that pixel phase can be optimized.
OSD Introduction - SYSTEM
y Sync Level (for Component sources only)
Select Sync Level to adjust the voltage level of the D8300 Sync signal detection circuitry.
Sync Level adjustment is occasionally necessary when a DVD player or HDTV source signal drops “below black”
(for example, during scenes with explosions or when subtitles are present) and causes the projector to temporarily lose sync. If the Sync Level from the source is persistently too low, the projector won’t sync with the
source at all.
The range is from 50 to 256 millivolts (mV) inclusive. The default setting is 240 mV and should rarely require
adjustment.

Enabling this option will make the projector display only blue color to facilitate the process of image inspection for the service personnel. For detailed instructions on how to use this function, consult a qualified service
personnel.
y Altitude
Use this function to control the projector’s cooling fan. You can set it to Off or On. The default setting is Off.
Under normal circumstances, the projector will operate normally with this function set to Off. By default, the
projector will detect the temperature of the surrounding environment to regulate the speed of the cooling fan.
When the ambient temperature rises, fan speed will increase (generates louder noise) to make sure the heat
inside the projector gets discharged and keep the projector working normally.
However, if you were to operate the projector in environment of excessive heat or in areas of high altitude, the
projector may automatically shut down. When this happens, you can enable this function by setting it to On to
force the cooling fan to work at a higher speed to regulate the temperature inside the projector.
High altitude region refers to area with elevation over 5000 feet.

To replace the projector lamp
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Let the projector cool for approximately 60 minutes before removing the lamp module for replacement.
When you turn off the projector, the lamp inside the projector will still be very hot (approximately 200 ~ 300°C). If you attempt to replace the lamp without allowing the projector to cool, you could risk scalding yourself. This is why you should
wait for no less than 60 minutes for the lamp to cool down in order to perform the replacement safely.
2. Loosen the lamp cover.
Contact your local dealer to purchase new certified lamps for
6. Replace the lamp cover and firmly secure the two
screws on the lamp cover.
3. Use a screw driver to loosen the screws as shwon in
