Remote control effective range

Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Please follow the illustrated instructions. Push and hold the locking arm while pulling out the battery holder.

2.

Insert the new battery (Type: CR-2025) in the holder. Note the positive polarity should face outward.

3.

Push the holder into the remote control.

CAUTION

• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

• There may be battery damage if the battery is incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.

• Dispose of the used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

• Never throw a battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.

• If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the battery to prevent damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:

1.

Front Table

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

2.

Front Ceiling

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen.

Purchase the InFocus ceiling mount, SP-CEIL-

UNIV, from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format all factor into the resulting projected image size.

4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9

(widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.

4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 aspect display area

16:9 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect display area

Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image displayed by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3 projection display area.

The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).

The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reelto-reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the screen).

If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects at a slightly downward angle.

You can see from the diagram on page

12 , that this type of projection causes the

bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image.

If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.

When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection distance.

InFocus has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen

(projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

How to determine the position of the projector for a given screen size

1.

Select your screen size.

2.

Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns labelled

"4:3 screen diagonal"

. Using this value, look across this row to the right to find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled

"Average" . This is the projection distance.

3.

On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the

"Vertical offset" value. This will determine the final vertical offset placement of

the projector in relation to the edge of the screen.

4.

The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in

step 2 above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.

For example, if you are using a 108-inch screen, the average projection distance is

4320 mm (170”) and with a vertical offset of 82 mm (3.2”).

If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See

"Correcting keystone" on page 26 for details.

How to determine the recommended screen size for a given distance

This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would like to know what screen size will fit in your room.

The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.

1.

Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the screen. This is the projection distance.

2.

Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the

average distance from screen column labelled "Average" . If the min and max

values are available on the table, check that your measured distance is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average distance value.

3.

Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen diagonal listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection distance.

4.

On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the

"Vertical offset" value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in

relation to the horizontal plane of the projector.

For example, if your measured projection distance was 4.5 m (177”), the closest match in the

"Average"

column is 4320 mm (170”). Looking across this row shows that a 108-inch screen is required.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. InFocus recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Connecting video source devices

You can connect your projector to various video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:

• Component video

• S-Video

• Video (composite)

You only need to connect the projector to a single video source device; however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the video source device as described below:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is Component video (not to be confused with composite video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output

Component video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) video.

See "Connecting a Component video source device" on page 17

for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite video. If you have both composite video and S-Video output terminals on your video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.

See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 18 for how to connect the

projector to an S-Video device.

Good video quality

Composite video is analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector. The other methods described above provide better video quality.

See

"Connecting a composite video source device" on page 19

for how to connect the projector to a composite video device.

Connecting audio

The projector has one built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector. The audio connections are provided for informational purposes only. You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound system available, or if audio is not required.

Connecting a Component video source device

Examine your video source device to determine if it has a set of unused

Component video output sockets available:

• If so, you can continue with this procedure.

• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.

To connect the projector to a Component video source device:

1.

Take a Component video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component video output sockets of the video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.

2.

Connect the other end of the Component video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable

(with a D-Sub type connector) to the

Selecting the aspect ratio

The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog

TV and computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital

TV and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.

2.

Real

:

The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit within the display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after making these adjustments.

3.

4:3

: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV and

4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

4.

16:9

: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition

TV, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered.

3D

Color Management

provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.
