Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis.

• Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

• Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling vents.

• Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts.

• Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.

• Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.

• In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see www.eiae.org

.

Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty section at the end of this User's Guide.

Connector Panel

The projector provides both computer and video connection options, including:

• M1 for computer and video

• S-video

• Composite RCA audio/video

The projector also provides the following connectors:

• Monitor out

• Audio out

• 12 volt DC output (see below)

12 volt DC output

The 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides a 12 volt DC output. It provides a constant output while the projector is on. It has numerous uses. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the 12 volt DC output with the cable that came with your screen, when you turn on the projector the screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to the storage position. To use the 12 volt DC output, you must first remove the safety plug and turn Screen Trigger on in the System menu (see

page 38).

Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 6.4 feet (1.95m) from the projection screen.

• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.

• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To

turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 38. We recommend

using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.

• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. The top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more infor-

mation about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected Image

Size” on page 44.

• The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is

112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.22’ above the center of the lens.

• The image offset is 132.9% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 3.29’ above the center of the lens.

See “Connecting a video device” on page 16 for additional information

on 16:9 and 4:3 modes.

Projector and Device Connector Guide

The following illustration and table should help you find the connectors to use and obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720p HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players.

Computer connections

Computer connections involve attaching the VGA and USB ends of the provided computer cable to a computer and connecting the other end (M1) to the

Computer In input on the projector. The USB part of the computer cable allows you to advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation via a remote control.

See page 11 for computer/projector setup information.

Video connections

The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector. If there is more than one output on your video device, select the one with the highest quality. Your options are S-video (higher quality) and Composite video (lesser quality).

If you are connecting the projector to HDTV sources, the projector’s M1 computer connector, labeled Computer In, should be used. Keep in mind that

HDTV and progressive sources should only be handled through the projector’s computer connector. You can also use an M1 to Component adapter (available as an optional accessory) to connect a progressive source’s component connectors to the projector.

15

Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. There is also an audio input via the red and white A/V connectors. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.

You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the

projector’s Picture Menu. See page 35 for more information.

What is Aspect Ratio?

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don’t have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9.

If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.

Plug the remaining white connector into the white audio in connector on the projector, and plug the remaining red connector into the red audio in connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S-video.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an

S-video cable (available as an optional accessory) into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-video connector on the projector. Use the A/V cable’s red and white audio connectors as described directly above

(the yellow connectors on the A/V cable are not used).

Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.

Shutting down the projector

The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed.

Screen Save

You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by turning on the Screen Save feature in the Settings>System menu. See

page 38.

Power Save

The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off. See

page 38.

Turning off the projector

To turn the projector off, press the remote’s Power button to place the projector in the Off state while it is running. When the Power button is pressed twice (once to start the power-down process and a second time to verify that you want to power the projector off), the lamp turns off and the LED blinks green for one (1) minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp.

While the LED is blinking green, the projector does not accept any keypad and remote control input.

When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights solid green and the fans slow down to minimal speed. To turn off the projector, toggle the power switch to the off position.

You can also turn the projector off simply by toggling the power switch to the off position.

NOTE : Once the projector has been toggled off, you must wait for one (1) minute before turning the projector on again. This allows the lamp to properly cool. However, if the remote was used to power the projector to the Off state you do not need to wait one minute to turn it on again.

Using the remote control

previous button next button

The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.

Caution : When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmentally proper manner.

To operate, point the remote at the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).

Pressing the remote’s Power button when the projector’s Power toggle switch is in the Off position does not cause the projector to power up. You need to put the projector’s Power toggle switch in the On position to let the remote power on the projector.

When the projector is running, you can press the remote’s Power button to

place the projector in the Off state (see page 21 for shutdown info) and

power it off.

Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and

adjust values in the menus. See page 34 for more info on the menus.

The remote also has Volume and Mute buttons to control the sound, and

Video and Computer buttons to switch between sources.

Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the Blank button to display a blank screen instead of the current slide (you can choose which

color is displayed, see page 39); use the Effect button to invoke a user-defin-

able action, such as freeze, or change your aspect ratio for viewing DVDs

(see page 39 to learn to program this button).

Previous and Next buttons allow you to navigate through your PowerPoint presentation while in Slide Show mode. Connect the USB connector on the provided computer cable to your computer to use these buttons. When you do this for the first time, the Add New Hardware wizard may appear. See

page 15 for details on loading the correct USB drivers.

Troubleshooting the remote

• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not dead.

• Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For best results, point the remote at the projector.

• If you are trying to advance PowerPoint slides, make sure the USB cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers are installed.

Using the audio

Using the projector’s speakers

To use the projector’s speaker, connect your source to the Audio In connectors (L and/or R) on the projector’s composite connectors.

To adjust the volume, press the Volume buttons on the keypad or remote.

To mute the sound, press the Mute button on the remote.

Troubleshooting Audio

If you aren’t hearing the audio, check the following:

• Make sure the audio cable is connected.

• Make sure mute is not active (press the Mute button on the remote).

• Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volume button on the keypad or remote.

• Make sure the correct source is active.

• Make sure that you are connected to an “audio out” connector on the source as opposed to a “line-in” or “microphone” connector.

• Adjust the audio source.

• If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.

Connecting external speakers

The projector can be attached to external amplified speakers by connecting a

3.5mm stereo audio cable from the Audio Out connector on the projector to the amplified speakers. Alternatively, you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.

Audio: allows adjustments to Volume of the internal speaker and allows a chime to play when starting the projector. Adjustments can also be made from the projector’s keypad and the remote.

Sources: Power-up Source determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up. When the Autosource feature is On, the projector automatically finds the active source, checking the selected

Power-up Source first. The source options are Computer 1 for a computer, progressive DVD, or HDTV source, and Video 1 (for S-video connections), and Video 2 (for composite video connections) for video sources. When this feature is Off, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up

Source. To display another source, you must manually select one by pressing the Computer or Video button on the remote or keypad.

System>Rear : reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.

Low Power : toggles between on and off. Turn it on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter. Display Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or

“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen. Screen Saver Off: prevents your computer from going into Screen Save mode. Screen Trigger turns on the 12 volt DC output switch on the connector panel. Power Save: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After

10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. After an additional 10 minutes with no signal, the projector powers down and can be toggled off. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is disabled. Screen Save automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no signals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Lens

1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

• Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Replacing the Projection Lamp

The lamp hours used timer in the About menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message “Change lamp” appears on the screen at startup.

NOTE : You can order new lamp housings from your dealer. See the Packing list for information. Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and rating as the original lamp.

1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

2 Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

3 Turn the projector on its side so that the lamp door is facing you. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently pry the lamp door from the projector by placing the screwdriver blade into the space between the top of the lamp door and the projector.

41 turn off and unplug projector

Lamp hours used wait 30 minutes lamp door

4 Loosen the two captive screws that attach the lamp housing to the projector.

5 Detach the lamp connector from the projector by depressing the locking tab on the connector and lightly pulling it free.

WARNING :

To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes before you replace the lamp.

Do not drop the lamp housing or touch the glass bulb! The glass may shatter and cause injury.

Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp housing is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp housing. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see www.eiae.org.

6 Carefully remove the lamp housing. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.

7 Install the new lamp housing and tighten the screws.

8 Re-attach the lamp connector to the projector. The locking tab should engage when the connector is fully plugged in.

9 Replace the lamp door.

10 Plug in the power cord and toggle the Power switch to turn the projector back on.

11 To reset the lamp hour timer, navigate to the Settings>Service menu

and select Lamp Reset. See page 40 for details. Or, simultaneously press

both Volume buttons on the keypad and hold them for 10 seconds.

Service menu lamp connector lamp housing lamp cable lamp cable captive screw

Cleaning the Lamp Housing Screens

In dirty or dusty environments, the two dust filter screens in the lamp housing can become clogged, causing high temperatures and premature lamp failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you should clean the screen every 250 hours.

1 Remove the lamp housing.

2 Examine the dust filter screens on the lamp housing. If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner set on low power to clean the screens. Be careful not to disturb any internal components when cleaning the screens.

3 Replace the lamp housing and lamp door.

Using the security lock

The projector has a security lock for use with a PC Guardian Cable Lock

System. Refer to the information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it.
