Safeguards  
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
1. Read and understand all instructions before using. Pay particular attention to areas where this  
!
symbol is shown.  
!
WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could  
result in death or serious injury.  
!
Caution Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result  
in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.  
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not leave  
appliance unattended while in use.  
3. Never look directly into the projector lens when the lamp is on. The metal halide lamp produces  
a strong light which could damage your eyesight.  
!
!
4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.  
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or  
damaged — until it has been examined by a qualified service technician.  
6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled or contact hot surfaces.  
7. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the  
appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.  
8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in  
use. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.  
!
9. Let appliance cool completely before putting away or when replacing lamp. Loop cord loosely  
around appliance when storing.  
10. Disconnect this unit from its source of supply before replacing the projection lamp.  
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.  
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified  
technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric  
shock when the appliance is subsequently used.  
13. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of  
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.  
14. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.  
!
15. This unit is equipped with optical lenses and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.  
16. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.  
17. Always remove the lens cap when the projection lamp is on.

Power Connection  
!
Caution  
To prevent damage to equipment, all power to  
the 3M Multimedia Projector MP8030 and  
input sources must be turned OFF during cable  
hook up.  
The power cord (Figure 3-3) is detachable from the  
projector and has different connection plugs on each  
end. Plug the female end into the power cord  
terminal on the projector and the male end into a  
properly grounded electrical outlet.  
Figure 3-3. Connecting the Power Cord  
Computer (RGB) Connection  
There are two input jacks and one output jack available for connecting either desktop or laptop computers.  
Find the cable that fits your computer type. The MP8030 comes with two computer input cables. The first  
cable (Figure 3-4) fits IBM PC and compatible VGA video systems, and the other cable (Figure 3-5) fits on  
the end of the first cable and adapts it to fit Apple MAC II computers and Apple MAC Powerbook laptop  
computers. Connect the CRT cable into the RGB-Out terminal to view the image on both the monitor and  
MP8030.

S-Video Connection  
Four-PinConnector  
S-VHS Cable  
Some video devices can generate S-VHS video, or  
S-Video (Y/C). The MP8030 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 MP8030. 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, and the other end into the MP8030’s VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 connector.  
3M 1996

3M Multimedia Projector MP8030  
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, and connect the other end to the AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R  
terminals on the MP8030.  
Figure 3-7. 3-Conductor Video/Audio Input Cable  
Use the Audio-Out terminal to disable the MP8030 speaker and channel sound to external speakers. The  
remote control VOLUME and MUTE buttons will control the external speaker volume levels. If you are  
giving a multimedia presentation that is complete with stereophonic sound, then you may want to consider  
connecting your audio source to a high-quality stereo system. Of course, if you route your audio cables this  
way, the MP8030 audio controls (VOLUME and MUTE) will not function.

e. If the PC has an internal pointing device, it must be disabled (refer to your owners manual for  
instructions)  
f. After the pointing device is disabled, reboot the PC and the operating system (DOS , Windows )  
should recognize the MP8030 stick switch as the pointing device  
3-2. Projector SetUp  
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.  
Note  
Whenever you have a choice, light the room from the rear, away from the projection screen. The  
MP8030 has a brightness adjustment to achieve the best image possible.  
Distance to Viewing Screen  
The 3M Multimedia Projector MP8030 can be used in a small or large meeting room to project a quality  
image from 46 cm (18 in.) to 762 cm (300 in.) in size. The distance between the projector and the viewing  
need to place the projector to fill the screen with 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.

3M Multimedia Projector MP8030  
Projector-to-Viewing Screen Alignment  
The size of the projection screen and the distance of the projector to the screen are important considerations for  
determining the best placement of the projector. After the best projector-to-screen distance has been  
determined, the position of the projection screen in relation to the center of the projection lens must be  
considered.

b = Center of lens to bottom of

Figure 3-9. Top View  
Figure 3-10. Side View  
Measured from the center of the projection lens (Figure 3-9), the projected image should be split equally left to  
right. For best results, rotate the projector until the image on the projection screen is perpendicular (90°) to the  
lens.  
Measured from the center of the projection lens, the top to bottom projected image (Figure 3-10) is projected  
with most of the image above the center of the lens and a small amount below the center of the lens. The  
position of the projected image to the center of the lens is an important consideration for the vertical placement  
of the projection screen.  
Use the table below to calculate the approximate distance (see “b” in Figure 3-10) from the center of the lens  
to the bottom of the projected image. Both normal and ceiling mount applications are affected by this  
distance.

Adjusting the Projector Elevation  
The elevation of the projected image can be adjusted by pushing the lock lever (Figure 3-11) on each projector  
leg to the unlock position. Raise or lower the projector body to extend or retract the projector leg until the  
desired elevation (1 to 7°) is obtained. Push the lock lever to the lock position to secure each projector leg.

Note  
Both projector legs must be raised or lowered the same amount to project a level image on the screen.  
Minor elevation adjustments can be made by turning the foot in a clockwise or counterclockwise  
direction.  
Ceiling Mount Considerations  
An optional ceiling mount bracket (Figure 3-12) is required to install the MP8030 from the ceiling. For this  
type of installation, the image must be inverted. Refer to Section NO TAG, Inverting the Image for more  
details.
