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 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.

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.

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 (1.49m) 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 39. We recommend
using an 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
• 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.
• This 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 17 for additional information

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, TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players.
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 12 for computer/projector setup information.
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. The S-video port does not function with progressive sources.

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 connect the audio to your stereo system via the Audio Out connector.
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 36 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 a 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.

connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections are not as high quality as S-video.
If your video device uses a round, seven-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.

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

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.
The projector has a security lock for use with a cable lock system. Refer to the information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it.
