DCL-200 FD1080p DLP LED Front Projector User’s Manual

Wolf Cinema’s DCL-200FD projector is optimized to work with the included ProScaler. The ProScaler and projector are carefully calibrated at the factory to support all basic functionality “out of the box.”

The projector uses one primary HDMI input, which accepts all incoming video signals as delivered from the ProScaler.The ProScaler processes and routes the variety of source components via the input selected.

There are 10 video inputs on the ProScaler: 6 HDMI [one front panel], 1 Component, 1 Component/RGB, 1 S-Video and 1 Composite input.

For additional ProScaler operation details, refer to this guide and the separate user manual: WOLF CINEMA PROSCALER

USER MANUAL

Connecting the Projector and ProScaler

The following basic steps are to be performed to connect all source components, Projector and ProScaler:

1 Connect all sources to the inputs of the ProScaler. For additional details please see the ProScaler Owners Manual.

Note: HDMI input #6 is under the removable WOLF CINEMA logo plate on the panel front.

2 Connect the HDMI signal cable to projector: Connect your long run HDMI video signal cable between the ProScaler

video output directly to the Projector. Connect the Audio Only HDMI cable (pass through) to your surround sound receiver or processor.

Audio-only signal pass through. Connect via HDMI cable to an available input on your surround sound receiver or A/V processor

Connect HDMI cable from ProScaler to Projector.

DCL-200 FD

Note: Wolf Cinema always recommends that you, your custom installer or video calibrator thoroughly test the HDMI video

cable(s) with the entire system prior to final installation. HDMI cables vary greatly in overall quality and signal integrity. Many HDMI cables are not designed to support certain information and signal timings over long cable runs. Contact Wolf Cinema technical support and/or your cable manufacturer for additional information regarding recommended HDMI cable lengths and overall system compatibility.

3 RS-232: Route and connect any 9-pin RS-232 cables from your external home automation or control system, separately

to both Projector and ProScaler. These two components should be controlled independently.

Note: The GPIO port not used in the DCL-200FD system. It is reserved for discrete

communication protocol between the ProScaler and our DCX-series of video

RS-232 interconnect between ProScaler and external control system

projectors. Leave disconnected.

4 Connect both Projector and ProScaler to AC power.

Note: Use extreme care when connecting AC Power to any products. Review the important safety notices indicated on pages

1-3 of this manual.

5 Power on the two components:

ProScaler: The ProScaler will automatically turn on. If a Red LED is shown on the right side of the front panel, the scaler is receiving AC power but no video input signal is detected. If a Blue LED is shown, the scaler is receiving AC power and a good video signal has been detected. No LED indicates there is no AC power to the scaler.

If the ProScaler does not turn on automatically, depress the SCALER button on the lower left of the system remote control and then depress the green POWER ON button at the top.
