INTRODUCTION

The In Focus LP 1000 is an XGA multimedia projector designed for fixed installations. It allows 3 computer and 2 video inputs, along with RS-232 control.

Image Resolution

The LP 1000 can display VGA, SVGA, XGA, and SXGA images.

The native resolution of the 1000’s projected image is XGA

1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024 are compressed to 1024x768. The 1000 cannot compress screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector.

Compatibility

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.

Warranty

This product is backed by a limited two year warranty. The details of the warranty are printed at the back of this manual. A longer term warranty can be purchased from your In Focus dealer. Refer to page 48 for the part number.

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

F IGURE 4

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.

Once you know the diagonal image size, you can figure out the width and height using these formulas: width (inches) = diagonal (inches) x 0.8

height (inches) = width (inches) x 0.75

S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r

The following tables give the lens shift values for desktop and ceiling-mounted setups for various image sizes. The lower lens shift position represents the highest the projector can be above the bottom of the screen; the upper lens shift position represents the lowest the projector can be below the bottom of the screen.

S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r

Connecting a Video Player

1 If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with

the projector. (Refer to Figure 14 on page 16 to see the connec-

tor types.)

• If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the A/V cable. If your video player uses a BNC connector, you’ll need a BNC cable in addition to the A/V cable. The cables are sold separately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 47.)

2 Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” port on your video player. This port may be labeled “To Monitor.”

• If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “s-video out” connector on the video player. If you’re using a BNC cable, connect it to the BNC connector on the video player

(Figure 12).

3 Plug the other yellow connector into the composite connector on the back of the projector (labeled under Video 2).

• If you’re using S-video or BNC, plug the other end of the cable into the “S-VID” or “BNC” connector on the projector

(Figure 12).

Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.

CAUTION: When you disconnect the projector after you have switched it off, always remove the power cord from the electrical outlet first, then remove it from the projector.

USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the remote and keypad buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.

Basic Image Adjustment

1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 16).

2 If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and

tilt of the projector (page 20), zoom the image (page 20), or

center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical posi-

tion (page 32).

If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 20).

4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image

(page 31) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and

tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjust the sync

(page 32) and/or the tracking (page 32) manually.

5 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness, contrast,

and tint (page 27), and color and color temperature (page 28.

NOTE: In Focus has created a software program called In Focus

Presents that automatically optimizes your computer’s display when used with any In Focus projector. This free program is included with every projector and available for download from our website at www.infocus.com.

Using the On-Screen Menus

The projector has four on-screen menus that allow you to make image adjustments and change a variety of settings. Most of these adjustments aren’t available directly from the keypad or remote.

To open the on-screen menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote. This changes the volume, source, and mute buttons on the keypad to menu navigation buttons (and illuminates the keypad green). Press the corresponding buttons to move the cursor up, down, left, or right. To select a menu, use these buttons to move the cursor to the tab for the menu you want, then click either mouse button. To change a menu setting, move the cursor to the setting you want to change using the navigation buttons, then use one of the two mouse buttons to make changes. Press menu again when you want to close the menus. All changes are saved when you close the menus.

To select a menu using the remote, use the disk mouse to move the cursor to the tab for the menu you want, then click either mouse button.

NOTE: Some options in the menus are only available when certain equipment is connected.

For example, the Fade setting in the Audio menu is only active if external speakers are connected.

Video Standard

When Auto is on, the projector attempts to pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and PAL-N video cannot be automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually. If the projector is unable to detect the standard, the colors might not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video standard by clicking the button and cycling through the standards.

Standby TIme

This option lets you select how long the lamp stays on and the blank screen is displayed when you enter standby mode before the projector turns off. Select among 1, 5, 10, and 15 minutes by clicking the button and cycling through the options.

NOTE: If you already know the video standard used in your geographical area, it’s often best to manually select it.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

This section describes how to:

• clean the lens

• clean the fan intake filter

• replace the projection lamp

• replace the batteries in the remote control

• use the Kensington lock feature

• 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.

• Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens.

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

Cleaning the Fan Intake Filter

The fan intake filter on the bottom of the projector catches dust and particles in the air. If the filter becomes clogged, the projector does not cool properly and may malfunction. To prevent this, clean the filter after every 100 hours of use.

1 Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.

2 Remove the filter door.

•

Slide the door off by the tab (Figure 26).

NOTE: If your projector is ceilingmounted, refer to the LP 1000

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.

Troubleshooting

Solutions to Common Problems

Problem: Nothing on projection screen

• Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to a functional AC electrical outlet. Make sure that the power cord is also properly connected to the projector.

• If the projector is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on.

• Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection lens at the front of the projector.

• Make sure the projector is switched on.

• Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-

nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection

Lamp” on page 37.

• 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.

Problem: Only the start-up screen displays

• Verify that the cables are connected correctly.

• Verify that the proper input source is connected. See “Computer 1, 2 and 3” on page 23 or “Video 1 and 2” on page 24.

• You might need to turn everything off and power up the equipment again. Make sure you power up in this order: projector, computer monitor, computer. It is especially important that you follow this sequence for Macintosh computers.

• Make sure your computer’s graphics board is installed and configured correctly.

If you’re using Windows 3.x:

• The problem could be with your computer’s graphics board. If possible, connect a different computer.

Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video player’s colors

• Adjust the brightness, tint and/or contrast from the Display menu. Just as there are differences in the displays of different monitors, there are often differences between the computer image and the projected image. See “Brightness” on page 27,

“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

•

You might need to replace the batteries. See “Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control” on page 39.

• 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.

• Turn Auto Image off to restore the image. See “Auto Image” on page 31.

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

(BRT?)

Volume (VOL?)

Lamp hours (LMP?)

Response

(0-22, 10)

(0-9999, 421)

A p p e n d i x

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.
