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 4.9 feet (1.5m) 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 30. 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 image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 115%.
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.15’ above the center of the lens.

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. 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
Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu.
See page 28 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.

Video device connections
No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from
InFocus or provide your own.
Composite video connection
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow
Video 2
connector on the projector.
Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into the Audio In Video 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 into the S-video connector on your video device and into the
Video 1
connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above.
Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.
VESA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the Computer 1 or Computer 2 connector on the projector.
Component video connection
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the Computer 1 or Computer 2 connector. Component offers the highest quality video output.
13
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 Time
You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by
turning on the Screen Save Time feature in the Setup menu. See page 30.
Auto Off Time
The projector also has a Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You
can change the length of time, see page 30.
Turning off the projector
To turn the projector off, press the Power button on the remote or keypad.
The lamp turns off and the LED blinks amber for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights amber and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.
