Setting up  
Setting up the projector  
Planning your layout  
Consider the following suggestions when planning your room layout:  
Select the projector and screen positions and the screen size according to  
your room layout and the distance chart below. The zoom control on the  
projector gives you some flexibility.  
Be sure the projector is centered on the screen and perpendicular to it.  
Otherwise, the picture might look lopsided.  
For the best picture, consider purchasing a quality projection screen. Some  
screens are designed for wide-angle viewing, while others are designed to  
concentrate brightness in the center. A flat surface colored white or light  
gray will also give acceptable results.  
For the most comfortable viewing, center your seating around the projection  
line-of-sight. Depending on the screen material, viewing from far off center  
might be unsatisfactory.  
The best viewing distance is roughly the same distance from the screen as  
the projector, but personal preferences vary widely.  
If possible, place the bottom of the screen slightly above the level of the  
projector. Or you can mount the projector upside down on the ceiling (see  
“Installing on the ceiling” on page 47).  
Design the room so you can control the ambient light. Most people prefer  
viewing with minimal lighting, but you can have acceptable results if you  
limit ambient light on the screen. Bright room lighting might cause a  
washed-out picture.  
The most common video source is a DVD player, but sources can also  
include devices, such as an audio/video receiver, VCR, hard disk video  
recorder, video gaming device, or satellite receiver.  
Depending on your personal setup, try to locate devices to minimize the  
lengths of cables connecting them to the projector. If any cable is more than  
3 m (10 ft), consider using high-quality, low-loss cables for best video and  
audio quality.  
For the ultimate home-theater experience, consider including a 5.1 surround  
sound system, such as a Dolby Digital system. This system has five speakers  
and a subwoofer.  
For an external sound system, see the following diagram for a possible  
speaker layout. Place all front speakers at the same distance from the  
listener. Place the subwoofer near a wall or corner. Place surround speakers  
at least as high as the listener’s head. Experiment with the speaker  
placement.  
User’s Guide

Setting up  
For best picture quality, place the projector 1.5 to 5 m (5 to 16 ft) from the  
screen.

Connecting a video source  
Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect  
the device to the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture  
quality. Relative picture qualities are indicated by stars in the following diagram.  
If you have several video sources, you can connect them to the different ports, or  
you can connect them to an audio/video receiver and connect the receiver to the  
projector (see “Connecting several video sources” on page 26).  
Only the S-video and composite-video cables shown in the following sections are  
included with the projector. A DVI port is available only on certain models.  
If you already have a home theater system with a TV, you can probably  
connect the projector in place of the TV as the viewing device.

To get the projector status, press the menu button on the projector or remote  
control and go to Help. This screen shows information and status for the  
projector.  
Cleaning the projector lens  
You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following  
recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.  
To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust  
particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.  
If this method does not work, use the following method:  
a. Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe  
back and forth across the lens.  
b. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still  
dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.  
Cleaning requires special consideration:  
Ä
Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface.  
Cleaners might damage the lens.  
Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener  
sheets when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the  
surface of the lens.  
Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time  
because doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth  
can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Maintaining the projector  
Replacing the lamp module  
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp  
gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can  
install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh  
brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.  
Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:  
To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as  
Å
broken glass might be present. For a ceiling installation, wear goggles and  
gloves when removing the lamp module. If the lamp is broken, contact HP  
about repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.  
The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks,  
adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of  
this lamp might be regulated due to environmental considerations. For  
disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the  
Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30  
minutes before removing the lamp module.  
1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.  
2. Unplug the power cord.  
3. Loosen the 3 screws 1 on the front cover and pull out the front cover until  
the tab 2 at the right end comes out of the projector 3.  
4. Loosen the two screws 4 on the lamp module, and pull out the module 5.

5. Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the two screws.  
6. Insert the tab on the front cover into the slot in the projector and close the  
cover.  
7. Tighten the screws that hold the cover.  
8. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period,  
try reinstalling the lamp.  
9. Press menu, go to Setup > Reset lamp hours, and press ok.  
Replacing the battery in the remote  
control  
1. On the back of the remote control, push in the tab 1 and remove the battery  
cover 2 to reveal the batteries.  
2. Remove the old batteries and install two new AAA batteries 3.  
3. Install the battery cover.  
When discarding old batteries, contact your local waste-disposal provider  
regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries.

Connecting to a room controller  
If your projector has a serial port, you can connect the projector to a room  
controller using a serial (RS-232) cable. After you program the room controller  
using the following commands, you can use the room controller to operate the  
projector and other components of your home theater.  
Serial connections  
The serial port on the projector uses a standard serial (RS-232) cable:  
Pin 2: data sent to the projector (RxD)  
Pin 3: data sent from the projector (TxD)  
Pin 5: ground  
The room controller must use the following serial (RS-232) settings:  
9600 baud  
1 start bit + 8 data bits (D0=LSB, D7=MSB) + 1 stop bit  
No parity  
Full duplex communication channels (no flow control)  
No handshaking  
Examples of room controller commands  
In the following examples, “<CR>” and “<LF>” represent a carriage return and  
line feed, respectively.  
Commands are sent to the projector as "requests" which consist of an asterisk (*)  
prefix, the command name, any needed parameter, and a carriage return <CR> as  
a terminator:  
* command = parameter <CR>  
Requests can contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters. Blanks (spaces) are  
allowed, except within keywords and numbers. Line feeds <LF> are ignored.

*command<CR>  
In general, every request sent to the projector generates one or more notification  
messages, which are sent to the room controller. Actions initiated by the projector  
can also generate notifications.  
The projector always sends notifications whenever a setting changes, whether as  
the result of a request from a controller, or as the result of an action, such as a  
button press or menu change. Some requested setting changes take time to  
perform, or are carried out in stages. Because of this, requests might produce  
delayed notifications.  
The following table lists the types of notifications generated in various situations.

The following simplified example shows how the projector typically responds to  
a request to change the active input source. Note that the three latter notifications  
are delayed.  
Request:  
*RSRC=4<CR>  
Notification:  
*RSRC=4<CR><LF> (acknowledges request)  
*SRC=0<CR><LF>  
(projector is attempting to acquire  
source 4, and in the interim has no valid  
source)  
*SRC=4<CR><LF>  
(source 4 is now active)  
*BRT=60<CR><LF> (brightness has been modified for  
source 4)  
*CSPC=?<CR><LF> (color space is not supported for this  
input)  
Room controller commands  
In the following tables, if the parameter listing for a particular command is  
“None,” that command requires no parameter. Some commands are valid only  
when the projector is turned on, STAT=1. Some commands are available only  
when specific input sources are active.

Troubleshooting suggestions  
If you have a problem with your projector, check the following statement that  
most closely matches the nature of the problem, then look in that section of this  
chapter:  
“Warning light problems” on page 57  
“Start-up problems” on page 58  
“Picture problems” on page 58  
“Sound problems” on page 61  
“Interruption problems” on page 62  
“Remote control problems” on page 62  
If these suggestions do not solve your problem, go to  
Chapter 7, “Support and warranty.”  
Warning light problems  
If both red warning lights are blinking:  
Allow the projector to cool down after it turns off. If this condition  
occurs after you restart the projector, an internal component has failed.
