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.  
Projection angle  
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is  
112.2%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of  
the image will be 1.12’ above the center of the lens.

Displaying an image  
Press the Power button.  
press Power button  
The Power light on the Status Indicator Panel (page 14) blinks green and the  
fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the start up screen displays and  
the Power light is steady green. It can take a minute for the image to achieve  
full brightness.  
? No start up screen? Get help on page 14.  
turn on computer  
or video device  
Turn on your computer or video device.  
The image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the  
Source button on the projector’s keypad or remote.  
If using a laptop, make sure it’s external video port is active.  
Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a  
projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F8 or CRT/LCD  
key turns the external display on and off. Locate a function key labeled  
CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the  
labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documenta-  
tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.

For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players must be configured for  
16:9 in order to view the highest quality image. For more information  
regarding Aspect Ratio, see page 12.

Connecting a video device  
16:9 screen  
4:3 screen  
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders,  
digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the  
projector. There is also an audio input via the red and white A/V connec-  
tors. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from  
the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and  
connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater sys-  
tem.  
4:3  
mode  
Do Not Use  
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.  
16:9  
mode  
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you  
want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the  
projector’s Picture Menu. See page 28 for more information.  
What is Aspect Ratio?  
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  
determine which aspect ratio to use. 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 TV shows are 4:3, while most  
movies are 16:9.  
Native  
mode  
(NTSC  
only)  
If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for  
anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3  
screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you  
also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for  
direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies  
only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.

Component video connection  
Video device connections  
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Compo-  
nent to VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video  
device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug  
the adapter into the Computer in connector. Component offers the highest  
quality video output.  
No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from  
InFocus or provide your own.  
Composite video connection  
Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the  
video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video 2 con-  
nector on the projector.  
Plug a white connector into the left audio out connector on the video device  
and plug a red connector into the right audio out connector on the video  
device. Plug the remaining white connector into the white audio in connec-  
tor on the projector, and plug the remaining red connector into the red  
audio in connector on the projector.  
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high  
quality as S-video.  
S-video connection  
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an  
S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the  
S-video 1 connector on the projector. Use the A/V cable’s red and white  
audio connectors as described directly above (the yellow connectors on the  
A/V cable are not used).  
Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than com-  
posite.  
VESA connection  
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included  
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connec-  
tor may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer  
cable into the Computer In connector on the projector.

The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the  
projector and can help you troubleshoot.  
Shutting down the projector  
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.  
Screen Save  
Table 2: Status indicator light behavior and meaning  
You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by  
turning on the Screen Save feature in the Settings>System menu. See  
page 31.

Meaning  
Power, solid green  
The power button has been pressed and  
the software has initialized or the projec-  
tor has been powered off.  
Power Save  
The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the  
lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with  
the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off. See  
page 31.  
Power, blinking green  
Thermometer  
The power button has been pressed and  
the software is initializing, or the projec-  
tor is powering down and the fans are  
running to cool the lamp.  
Turning off the projector  
To turn the projector off, press the Power button on the remote or keypad  
two times (the second time verifies the shut-down request). The lamp turns  
off and the Power light on the Status Indicator Panel blinks green for one (1)  
minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. While the light is  
blinking green, the projector does not accept any keypad and remote control  
input. When the lamp has cooled, the Power light is solid green.  
The projector is too hot. Make sure the  
vents aren’t blocked (see page 20). Turn  
off the projector and wait one minute,  
then turn the projector on again. Contact  
Technical Support if the problem persists.  
Troubleshooting your setup  
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it  
does not, troubleshoot the setup.

buttons  
Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other  
than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the  
remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmen-  
tally proper manner.  
To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the com-  
puter). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).  
Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see  
page 14 for shutdown info).  
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use  
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and  
adjust values in the menus. See page 27 for more info on the menus.  
The remote also has a Source button to switch between sources.  
Troubleshooting the remote  
Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are  
not dead.  
Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not  
the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For  
best results, point the remote at the projector.

before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. After an  
additional 10 minutes with no signal, the projector powers down and can be  
toggled off. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down,  
the image will be displayed. When Power Save is enabled, Screen Save is  
disabled. Screen Save automatically blanks the screen with a black color
