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.

Positioning your projector  
Choosing a location  
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Table in front of screen;  
Ceiling in front of screen;  
Table at rear of screen;  
Ceiling at rear of screen.  
1.  
Front Table  
Select this location with the projector placed near  
the floor in front of the screen. This is the most  
common way to position the projector for quick  
setup and portability.  
2.  
Front Ceiling  
Select this location with the projector suspended  
upside-down from the ceiling in front of the  
screen.  
Purchase a recommended Projector Ceiling  
Mounting Kit from your dealer to mount your  
projector on the ceiling.  
Set Front Ceiling in the System Setup: Basic > Projector Position menu after you  
turn the projector on.  
3.  
Rear Table  
Select this location with the projector placed near  
the floor behind the screen.  
Note that a special rear projection screen is  
required.  
Set Rear Table in the System Setup: Basic >  
Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.  
4.  
Rear Ceiling  
Select this location with the projector suspended  
upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen.  
Note that a special rear projection screen and a  
qualified 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.  
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.  
16:9 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect  
4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 aspect display area  
display area  
Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image  
displayed by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and  
bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area  
whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3  
projection display area.  
When determining the position of your projector, you should consider its intended use  
and input signal aspect ratios. All inputs (other than composite Video being fed a 16:9  
aspect signal) will display in a 4:3 aspect ratio (and will require an additional 33%  
display height than that of the scaled 16:9 aspect image projection area).  
IMPORTANT: Do not select a permanent projector position based upon a 16:9 projection if you  
will ever need to select an input (other than composite Video being fed a 16:9 aspect signal).  
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).  
The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-  
reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly  
upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be  
readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned  
so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the  
room can see the screen).  
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 diagram on page 10, 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.  
We have 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 and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns  
labelled "4:3 Screen Diagonal". Using this value, look across this row to the right to  
find the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled  
"Average". This is the projection distance.  
3.  
4.  
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the vertical Offset  
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 a 120 inch screen, the average projection distance is  
4667 mm and with a vertical offset of 183 mm.  
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.  
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.  
Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the  
screen. This is the projection distance.  
2.  
Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average  
distance from screen column labelled "Average". Check that your measured distance  
is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average distance  
value.  
3.  
4.  
Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen  
diagonal 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  
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 was 4.5 m (4500 mm), the closest  
match in the Average column is 4593 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 3000  
mm (3 m) screen is required. If you can only obtain imperial sized screens, the listed  
screen sizes on either side of the 3 m screen are the 9' and 10' screens.  
Checking the min and max projection distance values for these screen sizes, indicates  
that the 4.5 m measured projection distance will need to be reduced to fit the 9' size  
screen, or increased to fit the 10' size screen. The projector can be adjusted (using the  
zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes at those projection distances.  
Be aware that these different screens have different vertical offset values.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. It is  
recommended that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically

Connecting Video source devices  
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one  
of the following output sockets:  
Component Video  
S-Video  
Video (composite)  
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the  
above connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.  
The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching  
terminals on both the projector and the Video source device as described below:  
Best video quality  
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused  
with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video  
natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of  
choice in preference to (composite) Video.  
Better video quality  
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite  
Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video  
source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.  
Least video quality  
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less  
than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available  
methods described here.  
Connecting Audio  
The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio  
functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not  
designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in  
home theatre or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is  
mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.  
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 in the following sections 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.

Connecting a Component Video source device  
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component  
Video output sockets available:  
If so, you can continue with this procedure.  
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.  
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:  
1.  
Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable and connect the end with 3  
RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source  
device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to  
blue; and red to red.  
2.  
3.  
Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with a  
D-Sub type connector) to the D-SUB/COMP IN socket on the projector.  
If you wish to make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker, take a suitable audio  
cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output socket of the computer, and  
the other end to the Audio socket of the projector.  
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:  
A/V device

If you connect the projector to a High Definition TV (HDTV) tuner, the following  
standards are supported:  
480i  
576i  
720p (50/ 60 Hz)  
480p  
576p  
1080i (50/ 60 Hz)  
The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input  
is connected. See "Connecting Audio" on page 13 for details.  
Component Video is the only video output that delivers native 16:9 aspect ratio picture.  
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the  
correct video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on  
and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected  
correctly.

Selecting the aspect ratio  
The 'aspect ratio' is the ratio of the image width to the image height. Most analog TV  
and computers are in 4:3 ratio, which is the default for this projector, and digital TV  
and DVDs are usually in 16:9 ratio.  
With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector  
can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the  
image input source.  
You can change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is) by  
entering DISPLAY > Aspect Ratio. Select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the  
video signal and your display requirements. There are four aspect ratios available:  
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active  
areas.  
1.  
2.  
Auto: Scales an image to fit the projector’s native resolution(4:3).  
This is suitable when you want to make most use of the screen  
Native: The image is projected as its original resolution, and  
resized to fit within the display area proportionally. 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 fit for the  
projector after making these adjustments.  
3.  
4.  
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 computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect  
DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.  
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.  
16:9 aspect ratio is only sourced through the Component Video input when being fed an  
appropriate 16:9 aspect signal. See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page  
14 and "Obtaining a preferred projected image size" on page 8 for details.

Press the FREEZE button on the remote control to freeze  
the image. The word 'FREEZE' will display in the upper left  
corner of the screen. To release the function, press any button  
on the projector or remote control.  
Even if an image is frozen on the screen, the pictures are

Operating in a high altitude environment  
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is between  
1500 m –3000 m above sea level, and temperature is between 0°C–35°C.  
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and temperature  
is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on under  
such condition.  
To activate the High Altitude Mode, go to SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > High  
Altitude Mode, select On by pressing  
/
on the projector or remote control. A  
confirmation message displays. Highlight Yes and press MODE/ENTER.  
Notice  
We recommend you use the High  
Altitude Mode by selecting it whenever  
your environment is higher than 1500 m.  
Do you want to turn the High Altitude  
Mode on?  
No  
Yes  
Operation under "High Altitude Mode" may cause a higher decibel operating noise  
level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system cooling and  
performance.  
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it may  
display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector from  
over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to solve these  
symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate under any and  
all harsh or extreme conditions.

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 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 rub the lens with abrasive materials.  
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 28 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 45 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.  
Transporting the projector  
It is recommended that you ship the projector with 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:  
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.  
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 2/3 of that in normal mode. That is,  
using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/2.  
Extending lamp life  
The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 2000-3000 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  
/
.
When the DCR function is set to On, the lamp mode cannot be adjusted.  
Setting Auto Power Off  
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source 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.
