Positioning the projector
To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of
your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between
the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guide-
lines:
•
projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.49m) from the projection screen.
19 ft.
•
within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
7.5 ft.
4.8 ft.
•
•
turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 33.
10 ft high
image
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the
video format determine the size of the projected image. The top illus-
tration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more infor-
mation about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image
size” on page 40.
Projection angle in 4:3 mode (default)
•
The image exits the projector at a given angle. The image offset is
112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means
that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 1.22’
above the center of the lens.
lens center
•
•
This image offset is 124.7% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This
means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will
be 2.47’ above the center of the lens.
See “Connecting a video device” on page 11 for additional information
on 16:9 and 4:3 modes.

Connecting a video device
You can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video
games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. There is also an
audio input. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound
from the onboard speaker, or you can connect it to your stereo’s receiver to
get sound from your own speakers.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you
want to use. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV
screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and
most DVDs are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the
screen may answer this question for you. If you are projecting onto a blank
wall, you don’t have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project
will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most regular TV shows are
4:3, while most movies are 16:9.
If you select 4:3 and play TV, the image will fill the screen. If you select 16:9
and play HDTV, the image will fill the screen. However, if you select 4:3 and
play a 16:9 DVD, the image may be compressed horizontally or have black
bars along the top and bottom. If you select 16:9 and play regular TV, the
image may be stretched horizontally or have black bars along the sides. You
can make this selection later using the onscreen menus (page 30), but for
now you just need to know which format you’ll use most often.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a
cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Exam-
ples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and sat-
ellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered
a tuner.

Shutting down the projector
Troubleshooting your setup
The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the pro-
jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed.
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it
does not, troubleshoot the setup.
The LED on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can
help you troubleshoot.

Sources: Power-up Source determines which source the projector checks
first for active video during power-up. When the Autosource feature is On,
the projector automatically finds the active source, checking the Power-up
Source first. The options are Computer 1 for a computer source, and Video
1 (for S-video connections), and Video 2 (for composite video connections)
for video sources. When this feature is Off, the projector defaults to the
source selected in Power-up Source. To display another source, you must
manually select one by pressing the Com puter or Video button on the
remote or keypad.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Lens
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the
cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh
chemicals might scratch the lens.
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you
don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.
Replacing the Projection Lam p
The lamp hours used timer in the About menu counts the number of hours
the lamp has been in use. After 2,980 hours, the message “Change lamp”
appears on the screen at startup. If the maximum lamp time of 3,000 hours
is exceeded, the lamp will not light. In this case, after replacing the lamp
you must reset the lamp hours by simultaneously pressing both Volum e
buttons on the keypad and holding them for 10 seconds.

Cleaning the Lam p Housing Screens
In dirty or dusty environments, the two dust filter screens in the lamp hous-
ing can become clogged, causing high temperatures and premature lamp
failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust from the screens lowers the
lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life
you should clean the screen every 250 hours.

Red LED Behavior and Projector Errors
If the projector is not functioning properly and the LED is blinking red, con-
sult Table 3 to determine a possible cause. There are two-second pauses
between the blinking cycles.
Table 3:
Red LED Behavior
Explanation
One (1) blink
The lamp won't strike after five (5)
attempts. Check the lamp and lamp door
installations for loose connections.
Two (2) blinks
The lamp counter hours have exceeded
lamp life hours. Replace the lamp and
reset the lamp hours counter.
Three (3) blinks
The projector has shut down. Check to
see if the lamp door is open. If the lamp
door is closed, toggle off the projector
and wait one minute, then toggle the pro-
jector on again. If the lamp does not strike
after one minute, replace the lamp. Con-
tact Technical Support (see page 24) for
repair if replacing the lamp does not solve
the problem.
Four (4) blinks

The fan has failed. Contact Technical Sup-
port (see page 24) for repair or replacing
the fan.
The projector is overheating. Check for a
blocked air vent. Contact Technical Sup-
