6. Do not subject projector to prolonged exposure to smoke. Smoke may cause damage to the projector.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR

There are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up the projector, including 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. But here are some general guidelines.

NOTE: To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.

Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.

The projector should be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your video source(s), unless good quality extension cables are to be used.

When 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 Project” on page 29. Knöll recommends use of an authorized Knöll ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount

Kit is sold separately.

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

NOTE: The projector must be at least 5.6 feet (1.7 m) from the projection 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.

If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the projector behind your screen.

2. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.

The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image. See the table above for maximum and minimum distances for a given screen size.

3. Make sure the projector and source equipment or computer are turned off.

Make sure the projector is unplugged and your equipment is turned off.

WARNING: Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.

Do not use a non-Knöll ceiling mount. In the unlikely event of the bulb rupturing, thoroughly clean the area in front of the projector and discard any edible items placed in that area

.

Connecting the Enhanced Connectivity Module

The connector panel on the back of the projector (without connectivity module) looks like this:

Computer S-Video Composite Audio

The projector ships with an enhanced connectivity module. When you attach it to the back of the projector, it looks like this:

This module adds all the connectivity you need for your home theater applications.

Computer 1 Component Future Control

Computer 1-M1 audio in video use RS-232

The module connects to the projector via the projector’s computer connector. Slide the tabs in the module into the grooves on the back of the projector, and then press the computer connector into the projector. To remove the module, press down all the way on the textured lever on the top left of the module to release the latch, then slide the module off.

Figure 9: Connecting the connectivity module to the projector

The module provides two computer and three video inputs. The module also provides monitor out

(used to display images on your desktop computer’s monitor as well as on the projection screen), and RS-232 input (to control the projector from an external control system).

NOTE: Monitor out is only available for analog computer, 480p, and HDTV sources.

Connecting a Video Device

VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners can be connected to the projector. There is an audio input. Audio can be connected directly to the projector to get sound from the 3-watt onboard speaker, or you can connect it to get sound from your home theater speaker system.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which screen aspect you want to project.

Screen aspect is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may answer this question for you. In the non-recommended blank wall option, screen sizes are unrestricted. What you plan to project will also help you choose between

4:3 and 16:9. Most regular TV shows are 4:3, most movies are 16:9.

If you select 4:3 and play TV, the image will fill the screen. If you select 16:9 and play HDTV, the image will fill the screen. However, if you select 4:3 and play a 16:9 DVD, the image may be compressed horizontally or have black bars along the top and bottom (see Figure 10). If you select 16:9 and play regular TV, the image may be stretched horizontally or have black bars along the sides. You will make this selection later, using the onscreen menus (page 24), but for now, you just need to know which format you’ll use most often.

The projector can be connected to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from cable TV or a satellite dish, as 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.

The next step is to identify the connector’s types the equipment you want to connect has. If there is more than one output, select the highest quality one. Component video has the best quality, followed by S-video, then composite video.

Here is a list of possible input signals and the connectors they should be connected to on the projector

If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image (page 20), adjust the height of the projector (page 30), choose a different screen aspect (page 24) or choose a different resize option (page 44). Be sure the projector is at a 90

° angle to the screen.

If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus ring (page 20).

If the image is not square, adjust the keystone (page 21).

If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness, contrast, tint, color, or sharpness (page 23) or the color space or gain (page 28).

Adjusting the Projector

To focus the image, rotate the focus ring until the image is clear. To zoom the image, rotate the zoom ring. This adjusts the image size. You can also zoom in on part of the image, see page 22. focus ring zoom ring

NOTE: To obtain the best overall focus quality, open the menu and focus on the text. This will ensure that the best overall image quality is achieved.

The projector is equipped with a self-locking, quick-release elevator foot and button.

To raise the projector:

Press and hold the elevator button. Raise the projector to the height you want, then

release the button to lock the elevator foot into position.

Using the Remote Control

Install the 2 AAA batteries in the remote. See page 33 if you need help.

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or back of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the projector.

MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING

31

This section describes how to:

• clean the lens

• replace the projection lamp

• clean the projection lamp filter screens

• replace the batteries in the remote

• troubleshoot the projector

Cleaning the Lens

Follow these steps to clean the projection 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.

3. If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Replacing the Projection Lamp

WARNING: To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes before you open the lamp module door. Never extract the lamp module while the projector is operating.

The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use.

After 1,980 hours of use, the message “Change Lamp” temporarily appears on the screen when the projector is turned on. Change the lamp within the next 20 hours. After 2,000 hours, the lamp will not light. You can order new lamp modules from your Knöll dealer.

Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:

1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.

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

3. Invert the projector on a soft flat surface, and then push the ridge on the lamp door toward the back (Figure 39). The arrow on the lamp door should point to the unlock icon on the bottom of the projector. Lift the door up.

Figure 39. Removing the lamp door

32

WARNING: Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp module.

4. Loosen the two non-removable screws on the outside of the module (Figure 40).

CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp door open or removed. This disrupts the airflow and causes the projector to overheat.

Figure 40:

Loosening the screws on the lamp module

5. Lift and grasp the metal bail wire and lift the module out (Figure 41).

Dispose of the lamp module in an environmentally proper manner.

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

Figure 41: Removing the lamp module

6. Install the new lamp module, being sure to align the connectors properly.

7. Push the module in until it is flush with the bottom case of the projector.

8. Tighten the screws on the outside of the module.

9. Replace the lamp door by inserting the hooks on the lamp door into the slots on the projector and pressing the lamp door into place. The arrow on the lamp door should point to the lock icon on the bottom of the projector. If the lamp door does not fit properly or bulges out, remove the door and re-seat the lamp module.

button (while still holding down the

volume -

button) for 5 seconds. Verify that the counter was reset by viewing the counter in the Status window.

33

Cleaning the Projection Lamp Filter Screens

In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filter screens on the lamp module can become clogged, causing high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can cause premature lamp failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust and dirt from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you may want to clean the screen every 250 hours.

1. Remove the lamp module. Refer to “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 31 for instructions.

2. Examine the dust filter screens on each side of the lamp module. If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner set on low power to clean the screens. Then use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to lightly wipe each screen. After you've wiped each screen, blow away any remaining contaminants.

Figure 42: Lamp module screens

3. Before replacing the lamp, use the vacuum cleaner to clean the lamp housing in the projector.

4. Replace the lamp and lamp door.

Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control

The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic responses when using the remote and a reduced range of operation.

Follow these steps to replace the batteries:

1. Turn the remote face down in your hand.

2. Push the tab on the battery door toward the top of the remote and lift the door off.

3. Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environmentally proper manner.

4. Install two new AAA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install each in the correct direction.

5. Insert the hooks on the battery door into the remote and press the tab to re-install the door.

Table 5: Problem with a computer image

Symptom Remedy

Only the start-up screen displays

Image isn’t centered on the screen

The screen resolution is not right

Image is “noisy” or streaked

Verify that the cables are connected correctly.

Make sure the cables don’t have any bent pins.

Verify that the proper input source is connected and selected. See “Source (keypad only) or

Data and Video (remote only)” on page 21.

You might need to turn everything off and power up the equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.

Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See your computer’s manual for details.

Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and configured correctly. If you’re using Windows 98, Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and then the

Display icon. Click the Settings tab. Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1024x768 or less.

Move the projector to reposition the image.

Adjust the height.

Be sure the projector is at a 90-degree angle to the screen.

Reposition the image using the menu. Refer to

“Horizontal/Vertical Position” on page 28.

Make sure the computer’s video card is set for a resolution of no greater than 1280x1024.

Try these steps in this order.

Deactivate the screen saver on your computer.

Turn Auto Image off and then back on again.

Turn Auto Image off and adjust the synchronization and tracking manually to find an optimal setting. See “Manual Sync” on page 28 and “Manual Tracking” on page 28.

The problem could be with your computer’s video card. If possible, connect a different computer.

Just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display menu. See

“Brightness” on page 23, “Tint” on page 24 and “Contrast” on page 23.

Viewing the HD110 Projector

Depending on what is viewed the most the user must decide if a 4:3 (1.33:1) or 16:9 (1.85:1) aspect ratio screen is best. Both screen aspect screens will display all images, but the highest resolution images are obtained when viewing the image in its correct aspect ratio screen. If the image is projected on a large wall (not recommended but white color preferred) then all combinations are possible.

Viewing the HD110 on a 16:9 Screen used.

2. Viewing a 16:9 image (most DVD movies and HDTV’s). Turn the source on and while an image is displaying, select:

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒WIDESCREEN LETTERBOX

This mode will display most DVD movies and HDTV sources. If the image is distorted

(short and fat images) try selecting the anamorphic mode:

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒ENHANCED WIDESCREEN

Note: Many movies and other sources are recorded in wider aspect ratios (most common are 2.35:1 and 2.15:1) than 1.85:1 so even in the two widescreen modes above, the image may have uneven black boxes on the top and bottom of the image.

3. Viewing a 4:3 image (most regular cable TV channels and VHS). Turn the source on and while an image is displaying, select:

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒STANDARD

In this mode there will always be black boxes to the image left and right.

4.

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒NATIVE is not normally used to view video.

2. Viewing a 4:3 image (most regular cable TV channels and VHS). Turn the source on and while an image is displaying, select:

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒STANDARD

3. Viewing a 16:9 image (most DVD movies and HDTV’s). Turn the source on and while an image is displaying, select:

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒WIDESCREEN LETTERBOX

This mode will display most DVD movies and HDTV sources. In widescreen letterbox there will always be black boxes on the top and the bottom of the image. If the image is distorted (tall and skinny images) try selecting the anamorphic mode:

⇒IMAGE ⇒RESIZE ⇒ENHANCED WIDESCREEN

Note: Many movies and other sources are recorded in wider aspect ratios (most common are 2.35:1 and 2.15:1) than 1.85:1 so even in the two widescreen modes above, the image will have different size uneven black boxes on the top and bottom of the image.
