The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including:
• IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1280x1024 resolution at 75 Hz.
• Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1280x1024 resolution.
• Selected workstations (contact your In Focus dealer for details).
(The BNC connections for workstations are listed on page 55.)
• Most standard VCRs, camcorders, DVD and laser disc players.
Unpacking the Projector
The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to
make sure all are included. Contact your In Focus dealer immediately if anything is missing.
If you are experienced in setting up presentation systems, use the
LP 1000 Quick Start card that was included in the shipping box.
For complete details on connecting and operating the projector, refer to this User’s Guide. User’s Guides are also available for download from our website at www.infocus.com
.
NOTE: The 1000 automatically expands 640x480 and 800x600 images to fill the screen. You can display these images at their original resolutions by turning off the
Auto Resize feature. See “Auto
Resize” on page 31 for more information.
NOTE: The LP 1000 is compatible with many third-party controllers and amplifiers, including

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
1 Place the projector on a flat surface.
• The projector must be within 7.5 feet (2.3 m) of your power source.
• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the
LP 1000 Series Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 34. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 48.
2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
• The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and minimum and maximum distances to the screen.
The formulas for distance to the screen are:
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷ .541
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷ .716

Projected image size for 10’ diagonal image size
The LP 1000 is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall) without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly square image. Turn the lens shift knob on top of the projector to make this adjustment (see Figure 3 on page 3).
The bottom of the image can move from half way below the pro-
jector’s lens (Figure 5) to 25% above the lens (Figure 6).
Example: With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bottom of the image is 5’ below the projector’s lens; at the highest projection angle, the bottom of the image is 2.5’ above the lens.

Replacing the Projection Lamp
The LP 1000 is designed so you can easily change the projection lamp. The lamp hour counter on the status bar at the top of the menus (page 26) counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Replace the lamp when the brightness is no longer acceptable. You can order new lamp modules from your In Focus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 47 for information.
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 Using a small, flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screw on the outside of the lamp door.
4 Pull the lamp door up and remove it.
5 Loosen the two non-removable screws on the outside of the module.
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 lamp is operating.
CAUTION: Never operate the projector with the lamp cover open or removed. This disrupts the air flow and causes the projector to overheat.

• Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-
nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection
• Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins. Check the power cord for bent pins also.
Problem: Color or text not being projected
• You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 27 for more information.
• Verify that the appropriate input source is selected. See “Computer 1, 2 and 3” on page 23 or “Video 1 and 2” on page 24.
Problem: The screen resolution is not right
• Make sure the computer’s graphics card is set for a resolution of no greater than 1280x1024.
Problem: Image isn’t centered on the screen
• Reposition the image. Refer to “Horiz. Position” on page 32 and “Vert. Position” on page 32.
• If you’re using an extension cable, make sure it’s In Focusapproved.

“Tint” on page 27 and “Contrast” on page 27.
Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer
• The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for a
long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 37.
Problem: Lamp shuts off
• A minor power surge may cause the lamp to shut off. Turn the projector off, wait at least 30 seconds, then turn it back on.
Problem: Remote not operating correctly
•
• Make sure you’re pointing the remote either at the top or front of the projector, or at the projection screen.
• Make sure the remote is within its operating range of 30 feet.
Problem: When in PowerPoint’s Slide Show mode, the top of the image is cut off and appears at the bottom.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer PowerBooks-see below) on, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook’s built-in screen. When video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
2 Set the number of colors you want.
3 Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.
4 Select “Turn Video Mirroring On.”
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
1 Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as the primary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.
Using SimulScan
Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor or projector differently than previous ones. When using
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
Sound.
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
OK.
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
Click OK to confirm the change.

NOTE: The lens shift is not adjustable on the optional short throw lens. It is fixed at zero degrees.
Projected Image Size for Optional Lenses
There is one long throw lens and three short throw lenses available. The short throw lenses are specific for certain focus distances. HW-LENS-ST1 has a focus distance of 3 feet to 4.9 feet
(0.9-1.5 m); HW-LENS-ST2 has a focus distance of 4.9 feet to 8.5 feet (1.5-2.6 m); HW-LENS-ST3 has a focus distance of 8.2 feet to
11.8 feet (2.5-3.6 m).

Command format
All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all enclosed in parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a “?”) or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4
ASCII digits).
A read request format: (AAA?) where
?
)
( starts the command
AAA denotes the command denotes the read request ends the command
A read command returns the range and the current setting, for example:
Function
Brightness
Command

Volume (VOL?)
Lamp hours (LMP?)
Response
(0-22, 10)
(0-9999, 421)

NOTE: To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.
A write request example: (AAA####) where
( starts the command
AAA denotes the command
#### denotes the value to be written
(leading zeros not necessary)
) ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a “?” is returned. With absolute settings, “0” is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the
Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.
