Important safety instructions  
Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information  
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you  
follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.  
Safety Instructions  
1.  
Please read this manual before you  
operate your projector. Save it for  
future reference.  
5.  
In some countries, the line voltage is  
NOT stable. This projector is designed  
to operate safely within a mains  
voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC,  
but could fail if power cuts or surges  
of 10 volts occur. In areas where the  
mains voltage may fluctuate or cut  
out, it is recommended that you  
connect your projector through a  
power stabilizer, surge protector or  
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).  
2.  
Do not look straight at the projector  
lens during operation. The intense  
light beam may damage your eyes.  
6.  
Do not block the projection lens with  
any objects when the projector is  
under operation as this could cause  
the objects to become heated and  
deformed or even cause a fire. To  
temporarily turn off the lamp, press  
BLANK on the projector or remote  
control.  
3.  
Refer servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
4.  
Always open the lens shutter or  
remove the lens cap when the  
projector lamp is on.

8.  
9.  
The lamp becomes extremely hot  
during operation. Allow the projector  
to cool for approximately 45 minutes  
prior to removing the lamp assembly  
for replacement.  
10. Do not place this product on an  
unstable cart, stand, or table. The  
product may fall, sustaining serious  
damage.  
11. Do not attempt to disassemble this  
projector. There are dangerous high  
voltages inside which may cause death  
if you should come into contact with  
live parts. The only user serviceable  
part is the lamp which has its own  
removable cover.  
Do not operate lamps beyond the  
rated lamp life. Excessive operation of  
lamps beyond the rated life could  
cause them to break on rare occasions.  
Under no circumstances should you  
ever undo or remove any other covers.  
Refer servicing only to suitably  
qualified professional service  
personnel.  
Never replace the lamp assembly or  
any electronic components unless the  
projector is unplugged.  
12. When the projector is under  
operation, you may sense some heated  
air and odor from its ventilation grill.  
It is a normal phenomenon and not a  
product defect.

following environments.  
- Space that is poorly ventilated or  
confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance  
from walls and free flow of air around  
the projector.  
- Locations where temperatures may  
become excessively high, such as the  
inside of a car with all windows rolled  
up.  
- Locations where excessive humidity,  
dust, or cigarette smoke may  
contaminate optical components,  
shorten the projector's life span and  
darken the image.  
If the ventilation holes are seriously  
obstructed, overheating inside the  
projector may result in a fire.  
15. Always place the projector on a level,  
horizontal surface during operation.  
- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more  
than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle  
of more than 15 degrees front to back.  
Using the projector when it is not fully  
horizontal may cause a malfunction of,  
or damage to, the lamp.

17. Do not step on the projector or place  
any objects upon it. Besides probable  
physical damage to the projector, doing  
so may result in accidents and possible  
injury.  
Ceiling mounting the projector  
We want you to have a pleasant  
experience using your BenQ projector,  
so we need to bring this safety matter to  
your attention to prevent possible  
damage to person and property.  
If you intend to mount your projector  
on the ceiling, we strongly recommend  
that you use a proper fitting BenQ  
projector ceiling mount kit and that  
you ensure it is securely and safely  
installed.  
If you use a non-BenQ brand projector  
ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk  
that the projector may fall from the  
ceiling due to an improper attachment  
through the use of the wrong gauge or  
length screws.  
18. Do not place liquids near or on the  
projector. Liquids spilled into the  
projector may cause it to fail. If the  
projector does become wet, disconnect  
it from the power supply's power outlet  
and call BenQ to have the projector  
serviced.  
You can purchase a BenQ projector  
ceiling mount kit from the place you  
purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ  
recommends that you also purchase a  
separate Kensington lock compatible  
security cable and attach it securely to  
both the Kensington lock slot on the  
projector and the base of the ceiling  
mount bracket. This will perform the  
secondary role of restraining the  
projector should its attachment to the  
mounting bracket become loose.  
19. This product is capable of displaying  
inverted images for ceiling mount  
installation.  
Use only BenQ's Ceiling Mount Kit for  
mounting the projector and ensure it is  
securely installed.  
Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in  
accordance with local disposal laws.  
20. This apparatus must be earthed.

Remote control effective range  
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the projector.  
The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the  
projector's IR remote control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote  
control and the sensors should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).  
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the  
projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

cover will slide off.  
Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing  
the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+)  
goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.  
Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and sliding it back down into position. Stop  
when it clicks into place.  
Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment  
like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.  
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.  
Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local  
environment regulations for your region.  
Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.  
If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended  
period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible  
battery leakage.

Choosing a location  
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:  
1.  
Front Table  
3.  
Rear Ceiling  
Select this location with the projector placed Select this location with the projector  
on the table in front of the screen. This is the suspended upside-down from the ceiling  
most common way to position the projector behind the screen.  
for quick setup and portability.  
Note that a special rear projection screen  
and the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount Kit  
are required for this installation location.  
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP:  
Basic > Projector Position menu after you  
turn the projector on.  
2.  
Front Ceiling  
Select this location with the projector  
suspended upside-down from the ceiling in  
front of the screen.  
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mount  
Kit from your dealer to mount your  
projector on the ceiling.  
4.  
Rear Table  
Select this location with the projector placed  
on the table behind the screen.  
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP:  
Basic > Projector Position menu after you  
turn the projector on.  
Note that a special rear projection screen is  
required.  
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic  
> Projector Position menu after you turn

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.  
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power  
outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your  
equipment.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size  
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format  
each factors in the projected image size.  
4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9  
(widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the  
projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent  
to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.

The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned  
directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This  
prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).  
If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects  
at a slightly downward angle.  
You can see from the diagrams on page 17, that this type of projection causes the bottom  
edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector.  
When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image.  
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size  
increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.  
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for  
both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly  
proportional to the projection distance.  
BenQ has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the  
ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular  
horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical  
offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).  
How to determine the position of the projector for a given  
screen size  
1.  
2.  
Select your screen size.  
Refer to the table on page 17 and find the closest match to your screen size in the left  
columns labelled "Screen Size". Using this value, look across this row to the right to  
find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled  
"Distance from Screen in mm". This is the projection distance.  
3.  
4.  
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical  
offset in mm" value. This will determine the final vertical offset placement of the  
projector in relation to the edge of the screen.  
The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the  
horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2  
above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.

For example, if you are using an 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is  
1481 mm and the vertical offset is 137 mm.  
How to determine the recommended screen size for a  
given distance  
This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would  
like to know what screen size will fit in your room.  
The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.  
1.  
2.  
Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the  
screen. This is the projection distance.  
Refer to the table on page 17 and find the closest match to your measurement in the  
average distance from screen column labelled "Distance from Screen in mm". This is  
the projection distance.  
3.  
4.  
Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding "Screen  
Size" listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that  
projection distance.  
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical  
offset in mm" value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to  
the horizontal plane of the projector.  
For example, if your measured projection distance is 1.5 m (1500 mm), the closest match in  
the "Distance from Screen in mm" column is 1481 mm. Looking across this row shows that a  
120'' (about 3.0 m) screen is required.  
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt  
it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion  
will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting keystone" on  
page 28 for details.

Connecting audio  
The projector has two built-in mono speakers which are designed to provide basic audio  
functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not  
designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home  
theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a  
common mono audio output through the projector speakers.  
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output  
of your video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.  
The audio connections illustrated on page 18 are provided for informational purposes only.  
You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound system available,  
or if audio is not required.

change accordingly when you switch between  
different input signals. Data (graphic) "PC"  
presentations using mostly static images are  
generally brighter than "Video" using mostly moving  
images (movies).  
The native display resolution of this projector is in a  
4:3 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, you  
should select and use an input signal which outputs  
at this resolution. Any other resolutions will be  
scaled by the projector depending upon the “aspect  
ratio” setting, which may cause some image  
distortion or loss of picture clarity. See "Selecting  
the aspect ratio" on page 30 for details.

In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are  
active areas.  
OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.  
3.  
4:3: Scales an image so that it is  
displayed in the center of the  
screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This  
is most suitable for 4:3 images like  
some computer monitors,  
standard definition TV and 4:3  
aspect DVD movies, as it displays  
them without aspect alteration.  
1.  
Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit  
the projector's native resolution in its  
horizontal or vertical width. This is suitable  
for the incoming image which is neither in  
4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use  
of the screen without altering the image's  
aspect ratio.

4:3 picture  
15:9 picture  
4.  
16:9: Scales an image so that it is  
displayed in the center of the  
screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio.  
This is most suitable for images  
which are already in a 16:9 aspect,  
like high definition TV, as it  
displays them without aspect  
alteration.  
2.  
Real: The image is projected as its original  
resolution, and resized to fit within the  
display area. For input signals with lower  
resolutions, the projected image will display  
smaller than if resized to full screen. You  
could adjust the zoom setting or move the  
projector towards the screen to increase the  
image size if necessary. You may also need  
to refocus the projector after making these  
adjustments.

Optimizing the image  
Using Wall Color  
In the situation where you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which  
may not be white, the Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture’s colors to  
prevent possible color difference between the source and projected pictures.  
To use this function, go to the DISPLAY > Wall Color menu and press  
/
to select a  
color which is closest to the color of the projection surface. There are several precalibrated  
colors to choose from: Light Yellow, Pink, Light Green, Blue, and Blackboard.  
Selecting a picture mode  
The projector is preset with several predefined picture  
modes so that you can choose one to suit your  
operating environment and input signal picture type.  
To select an operation mode that suits your need, you  
can follow one of the following steps.  
Press Mode/Enter on the projector or remote  
control repeatedly until your desired mode is  
selected.  
Go to the PICTURE > Picture Mode menu and  
press  
/
to select a desired mode.  
1.  
Dynamic mode: Maximizes the brightness of the  
projected image. This mode is suitable for environments where extra-high brightness  
is required, such as using the projector in well lit rooms.  
2.  
3.  
Presentation mode (Default): Is designed for presentations. The brightness is  
emphasized in this mode to match PC and notebook coloring.  
sRGB mode: Maximizes the purity of RGB colors to provide true-to-life images  
regardless of brightness setting. It is most suitable for viewing photos taken with an  
sRGB compatible and properly calibrated camera, and for viewing PC graphic and  
drawing applications such as AutoCAD.  
4.  
5.  
Cinema mode: Is appropriate for playing colorful movies, video clips from digital  
cameras or DVs through the PC input for best viewing in a blackened (little light)  
environment.  
User 1/User 2 mode: Recalls the settings customized based on the current available  
picture modes. See "Setting the User 1/User 2 mode" on page 32 for details.  
Setting the User 1/User 2 mode  
There are two user-definable modes if the current available picture modes are not suitable  
for your need. You can use one of the picture modes (except the User 1/2) as a starting point  
and customize the settings.

Fine-tuning the image quality in user modes  
According to the detected signal type, there are some user-definable functions available  
when User 1 or User 2 is selected. Based on your needs, you can make adjustments to these  
functions by highlighting them and pressing  
/
on the projector or remote control.  
Adjusting Brightness  
The higher the value, the brighter the image. And the  
lower the setting, the darker the image. Adjust this  
control so the black areas of the image appear just as  
black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.  
+50  
+70  
+30  
Adjusting Contrast  
The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this  
to set the peak white level after you have previously  
adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected  
input and viewing environment.  
+50  
+70  
+30  
Adjusting Color  
Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image  
will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.  
Adjusting Tint  
The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more  
greenish the picture becomes.  
Adjusting Sharpness  
The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the  
picture becomes.

Adjusting Brilliant Color  
This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to  
enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a  
greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and  
natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer  
images with that quality, select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.  
On is the default and recommended selection for this projector. When Off is selected, the  
Color Temperature function is not available.  
Selecting a color temperature  
The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type  
selected.  
1.  
T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish  
white than other settings.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
T2: Makes images appear bluish white.  
T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.  
T4: Makes images appear reddish white.  
*About color temperatures:  
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. One  
of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature. A  
white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a  
high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.  
3D Color Management  
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in  
classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where  
building external windows allow daylight into the room.  
Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture  
theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management  
provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction,  
should you require it.  
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing  
conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of  
suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the  
projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable  
guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.  
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you  
select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your  
preference.  
If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used  
to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc, you can project any image  
from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make  
adjustments.  
To adjust the settings:  
1.  
2.  
Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.  
Press Mode/Enter on the projector or remote control and the 3D Color Management  
page displays.  
3.

to select its range. Increase in the range will  
include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.  
Please refer to the illustration to the right for  
how the colors relate to each other.  
For example, if you select Red and set its  
range at 0, only pure red in the projected

.
BLUE  
Every adjustment made will reflect to the  
image immediately.  
For example, if you select Red and set its  
value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.  
Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less  
saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation  
is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

Maintenance  
Care of the projector  
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is  
to keep the lens and case clean.  
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts  
need replacing.  
Cleaning the lens  
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.  
Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.  
If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner  
and gently wipe the lens surface.  
Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile  
solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or  
maitaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the  
projector surface and cabinet material.  
Cleaning the projector case  
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as  
described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 43 and unplug the power cord.  
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH  
detergent. Then wipe the case.  
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the  
case.  
Storing the projector  
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below:  
Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the  
recommended range for the projector. Please refer to "Specifications" on page 61 or  
consult your dealer about the range.  
Retract the adjuster feet.  
Remove the batteries from the remote control.  
Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Lamp information  
Getting to know the lamp hour  
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically  
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as  
follows:  
For the MP772 ST:  
Total (equivalent) lamp hour  
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)  
For the MP776 ST:  
Total (equivalent) lamp hour  
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 3/2 (hours used in normal mode)  
See "Setting Lamp Mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.  
To obtain the lamp hour information:  
1.  
Press Menu/Exit and then press  
menu.  
/
to highlight the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced  
2.  
Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press Mode/Enter. The Lamp Settings page  
displays.  
3.  
4.  
You will see the Equivalent Lamp Hour information displaying on the menu.  
To leave the menu, press Menu/Exit.  
You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.  
Extending lamp life  
The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 3000-4000 (for the  
MP772 ST) or 2000-3000 (for the MP776 ST) hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life  
as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.  
Setting Lamp Mode as Economic  
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the  
Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected  
pictures.  
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set  
Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp Mode  
menu and press  
/
.
Setting Auto Power Off  
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected  
after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.  
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off menu and  
press  
/
. The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the  
preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will  
not automatically shut down in a certain time period.

Accessibility Requirements for Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section  
508  
BenQ's commitment to accessible products allows us to support government in making  
accessible technology choices BenQ's LCD monitors and projectors are compliant with  
Section 508 guidelines by including the assistive features as below:  
BenQ's monitors have colored "Power" indicators. While the indicator shows green, it  
means that the monitor is using the full power. While the indicator shows yellow or  
amber, it means that the monitor is in suspend or sleep mode and is using less than 2  
watts of electricity.  
BenQ's monitors have a variety of settings of pre-programmed flicker-free timing to  
make the screen shown on the monitor readily accessible. The default timing setting is  
automatically turned on every time the monitor is powered up, and thus reduces the  
hassle of user intervention.  
BenQ's monitors and projectors have options for brightness and contrast adjustments  
that text and images could be displayed differently to meet the demands of the visually  
impaired. Other similar adjustments are also available by using the On-Screen Display  
(OSD) controls on the products.  
BenQ's monitors and projectors include user-selectable color controls, such as color  
temperature selections (Monitor: 5800K, 6500K and 9300K, Projector: 5500K, 6500K,  
7500K and 9300K), with a wide range of contrast levels.  
BenQ's multimedia monitors and projectors usually have one or two speakers for audio  
performance which allow users (including hearing impaired) to interact with the  
computer systems connected. Speaker controls are typically located on the front-panel.  
Firmware of BenQ's monitors and projectors contain unique product information that  
helps computer systems to identify BenQ products and activate their Plug-and-Play  
function when connected.  
All BenQ's monitors and projectors are compatible with the PC99 standard. For  
example, connectors are color-coded to help users easily connecting products to  
computer systems correctly.  
Some models of BenQ's monitors and projectors contain additional USB and DVI ports  
for connection to more devices such as a special headphone to assist the hearing  
impaired.  
All BenQ monitors and projectors come with user manuals on compact discs which  
could be easily read by commercial software such as Adobe Reader via a connected  
computer system. These documents are also available on the BenQ's web site  
BenQ's customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers through  
phone calls, facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
