INTENDED USE  
Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The 3M Multimedia  
Projector MP8650 was designed, built and tested for use indoors, using 3M brand lamps and  
nominal local voltages. The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation or different  
voltages has not been tested and could damage the projector or peripheral equipment and/or  
create a potentially unsafe operating condition.  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

S-Video Connection  
Four-PinConnector  
S-VHS Cable  
Some video devices can generate S-VHS video, or  
S-Video (Y/C). The MP8650 will accept this signal  
through the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2 connectors.  
The S-VHS cable has identical round four-pin  
connectors on either end (Figure 3-6). Connect one  
end to the S-Video jack on the input source device,  
and the other end to the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2  
terminal on the MP8650. Remember to connect the  
audio cables for sound output.  
Figure 3-6. S-Video Input  
Video/Audio Connection  
Find the small, circular connector on your camcorder, laserdisc player, VCR, or other video source marked  
VIDEO OUT, TO MONITOR, or something similar.  
Use the 3-conductor video/audio cable and insert the video (white) connector into the video output jack of  
your video source device. Connect the other end into the MP8650 VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 connector.  
Next, find the AUDIO OUT terminals on your VCR or other audio source. Insert the left and right audio cable  
connectors (Figure 3-7) to the input source. Connect the other end to the AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R terminals  
on the MP8650.  
Note  
The MP8650 projector is a stereo device. However,  
the projector’s built-in speaker is monophonic.  
Stereo sound played through the speaker becomes  
monophonic due to an internal sound mixer that  
converts stereo to mono.  
Figure 3-7. 3-Conductor Video/Audio Input Cable  
If you are giving a multimedia presentation with stereo sound, you may want to consider connecting the  
MP8650 audio-out L/R jacks to a high-quality stereo system.

3-2. Projector Set Up  
The meeting room is your operating environment and any stray light hitting the projection screen will become  
glare. It is best to use a meeting room without wide-open windows. If there are “light stripes” from venetian  
blinds, try to find a viewing area that’s away from them – and remember, the light stripes will move as the  
hour changes.  
Ambient Light  
Whenever you have a choice, light the room from the rear, away from the projection screen. The MP8650 has  
a brightness adjustment to achieve the best image possible.  
Distance to Viewing Screen  
The MP8650 can be used in a small or large meeting room to project a quality image from 51 cm (20 inches)  
to 762 cm (300 inches) in size. The distance between the projector and the viewing screen and the zoom lense  
setting (minimum to maximum) will determine the size of the projected image. Refer to the table in Section  
the projected image.  
Remember that increasing the projector-to-screen distance also decreases the image’s brightness dramatically.  
In other words, as the image grows larger, it also grows dimmer.  
For best results, experiment to find the right combination of projector-to-screen distance and room lighting.  
Carrying Handle  
The MP8650 has a carrying handle that folds into the top of the projector housing. To raise the handle, push  
up on the back end of the handle (Figure 3-10) and then lift upward.  
Figure 3-10. Unfolding Handle  
Ceiling Mount Considerations  
An optional ceiling mount bracket (Figure 3-11) is  
required to install the MP8650 from the ceiling. For  
this type of installation, the image must be inverted.

Adjusting the Projector Elevation  
The elevation can be adjusted by turning the foot adjuster (Figure 3-12) to raise or lower the angle of the  
projector.  
Figure 3-12. Foot Adjuster  
Note  
Both adjusting feet must be raised or lowered the  
same amount to project a level image on the  
viewing screen. The elevation can be adjusted up  
to seven degrees.  
Rear Projection  
A semi-transparent screen (Figure 3-13) can be used to project an image and view it from the backside of the  
Image for more details.  
The projected light beam has  
an off-center ratio of 80%  
above and 20% below the
