General precautions  
Notes  
Do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside.  
Use only the power cable provided.  
Ensure that the power outlet includes a Ground connection, as this  
equipment MUST be earthed.  
Take care to prevent small objects such as paper or wire from falling  
into the projector. If this does happen, switch off immediately, and have  
the objects removed by authorised service personnel.  
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture, and do not place any  
liquids on top of the projector.  
Unplug before cleaning, and use a damp, not wet, cloth.  
Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.  
Do not touch the power plug during a thunder storm.  
Handle the power cable carefully and avoid sharp bends. Do not use a  
damaged power cable.  
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole  
module should be replaced.  
Only lamps supplied by D8300 and intended for this  
projector should be used. Fitting any other lamp could damage both  
projector and lamp, and will invalidate the warranty.  
Take care when removing the lamp module.  
NEVER touch the lamp or reflector.  
Take care not to touch the glass surface of the lamp module. If you  
do accidentally touch the glass, it should be cleaned before use. (see  
section 5. Maintenance.)  
Do not use the lamp for more than 2000 hours, as this may cause  
serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and cause extra cost on  
replacement.  
HID lamps produce high intensity light. Do not look directly at the light  
coming from the lamp housing, or the lens, or allow items such as  
magnifying lenses to be placed in the light path. This could result in  
serious eye damage.  
Do not touch the ventilation outlets, as they will become hot in use.  
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation outlets or inlets.  
Do not cover the lens whilst the projector is switched on. This could  
cause a fire  
Always allow the projector to cool for 5 minutes before disconnecting  
the power, moving the projector or changing the lamp.  
Never use strong detergents or solvents such as alcohol or thinners to  
clean the projector and lens.

Notes  
Installation precautions  
The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified personnel, in  
accordance with local building codes.  
The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as  
possible.  
The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be  
disconnected in an emergency.  
Ensure that there is at least 30cm (12in) of space between the  
ventilation outlets and any wall, and 10cm (4in) on all other sides.  
Do not install the projector close to anything that might be affected by  
its operational heat, for instance, polystyrene ceiling tiles, curtains etc.  
The projector weighs approximately 9 kg (20 lbs). Use safe handling  
techniques when lifting the projector.  
Do not stack more than three projectors.  
When stacking projectors, the stack MUST be vertical, to ensure that  
the stresses are distributed to all four chassis corners.  
Before installation, make sure that the surface, ceiling or rigging that is  
to support the projector is capable of supporting the combined weight  
of all the projectors.  
Backup safety chains or wires should always be used with ceiling  
mount installations.  
12°  
Do not place heavy objects on top of the projector chassis. Only the  
chassis corners are capable of withstanding the weight of another  
projector.  
Do not drop or knock the projector.  
Place the projector in a dry area away from sources of dust, moisture,  
steam, smoke, sunlight or heat.  
12°  
Do not tilt the projector more than 12° in either direction when in use,  
as this may cause serious lamp failure, damage the lamp module and  
cause extra cost on replacement.  
Operation and configuration precautions  
Software update should NOT be carried out except by, or with the  
supervision of, D8300 Service personnel.

Screen requirements  
Aspect ratio  
Fitting the image to the DMD  
The projector uses a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) to create the image that is  
projected onto the screen. The resolution of the DMD in this projector is 1920 x  
1080 pixels, or to put it another way, its aspect ratio is 16:9.  
1920 pixels  
16 units  
If the source image supplied to the projector has a different aspect ratio from this,  
or even if it has the same aspect ratio but fewer pixels, then the image will not fill  
the DMD. The projector therefore needs to scale the image.  
The projector has five aspect ratio settings, so that you can choose the one that is  
most suitable for your image source. The settings are:  
16:9  
the image is scaled to fill the DMD (and thus, a 16:9 screen).  
For more information about  
changing the Aspect ratio  
setting, see Using the control  
keys and Using the menus  
in section 4. Controlling the  
Projector.  
Theaterscope the image is scaled such that a 2.35:1 image will be displayed  
at the correct aspect ratio when the projector is fitted with an  
anamorphic lens. Thus an image with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1  
can be displayed using the full 16:9 resolution of the DMD.  
4:3  
the image is scaled to fit a 4:3 screen, using the full height of the  
DMD.  
4:3 Narrow  
to be used for 4:3 images in combination with an anamorphic  
lens. The image is scaled to fit the DMD vertically, but squeezed  
horizontally such that the lens will stretch it to the correct ratio.  
Native  
the image is displayed with no scaling, at its original resolution, in  
the centre of the screen.  
Examples of 16:9 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings  
The 16:9 image shown here has  
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x  
1080 of the DMD. Your image  
may be different.  
Native  
16:9  
Note that, as the aspect ratio of the image matches that of the DMD, the 16:9  
setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller image,  
for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the same source.

Examples of 4:3 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings  
Notes  
The 4:3 image shown here has  
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x  
1080 of the DMD. Your image  
may be different.  
Native  
4:3  
The 4:3 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the smaller  
Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from the  
same source.  
If you are using an anamorphic lens, the 4:3 Narrow setting should be used. The  
lens will stretch the image to the correct width.  
If you are using an anamorphic  
lens, you will need to use the  
4:3 Narrow setting to correct the  
image.  
4:3 Narrow  
without anamorphic lens  
4:3 Narrow  
with anamorphic lens  
Examples of 2.35:1 images displayed with different aspect ratio  
settings  
The 2.35 image shown here has  
far fewer pixels than the 1920 x  
1080 of the DMD. Your image  
may be different.  
16:9  
Native  
The 16:9 setting is best, unless there is some specific reason for wanting the  
smaller Native image, for instance, to maintain the same scale as other images from  
the same source.  
If you have an anamorphic lens, the Theaterscope setting would be a much better  
option. Because it uses the whole of the DMD, it will be a much brighter image than  
the letterboxed options shown above, and will fill a wider screen if this is available.  
To take advantage of the  
Theaterscope setting, you  
MUST have an anamorphic  
lens.

Notes  
Diagonal screen sizes  
Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When  
dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is  
more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).  
W = width  
The example calculations below show how to convert diagonal sizes in inches into  
width and height, at various aspect ratios.  
2.35:1 (Scope)  
W = D x 0.92in  
(D x .023m)  
(D x .022m)  
H = D x 0.39in  
H = D x 0.47in  
H = D x 0.49in  
H = D x 0.52in  
H = D x 0.53in  
H = D x 0.6in  
(D x .01m)  
1.85:1  
W = D x 0.88in  
(D x .012m)  
(D x .0125m)  
(D x .013m)  
(D x .014m)  
(D x .015m)

W = D x 0.87in  
(D x .022m)  
(D x .022m)  
(D x .022m)  
(D x .02m)  
1.66:1 (Vista)  
W = D x 0.86in  
16:10 = 1.6:1  
W = D x 0.85in  
4:3 = 1.33:1  
W = D x 0.8in

Fitting the image to the screen  
Notes  
It is important that your screen is of sufficient height and width to display images at  
all the aspect ratios you are planning to use.  
Use the conversion chart, or the sample calculations below to check that you are  
able to display the full image on your screen. If you have insufficient height or width,  
you will have to reduce the overall image size in order to display the full image on  
your screen.

The projector should be  
installed as close to the  
power outlet as possible.  
For optimum viewing, the screen should be a flat surface perpendicular to the floor.  
The bottom of the screen should be 1.2m (4 feet) above the floor and the front row  
of the audience should not have to look up more than 30° to see the top of the  
screen.  
The power connection should  
be easily accessible, so that  
it can be disconnected in an  
emergency.  
The distance between the front row of the audience and the screen should be at  
least twice the screen height and the distance between the back row and the screen  
should be a maximum of 8 times the screen height. The screen viewing area should  
be within a 60° range from the face of the screen.  
Ensure that there is at least  
30cm (12in) of space between  
the ventilation outlets and  
any wall, and 10cm (4in) on  
all other sides.  
Do not install the projector  
close to anything that  
might be affected by its  
operational heat, for instance,  
polystyrene ceiling tiles,  
curtains etc.  
The image can be flipped for  
rear projection (see section  
4. Using the menus, Image  
menu) and displayed without  
the need for extra mirrors or  
equipment.  
However, you must ensure  
that there is sufficient distance  
behind the screen for the  
projector to be correctly located.  
Rear installation is generally  
more complicated and advice  
should be sought from your  
local dealer before attempting it.

Screen size vs throw distance  
Notes  
Throw distance is the distance measured from the front of the projector to the  
screen. This is an important calculation in any projector installation as it determines  
whether or not you have enough room to install your projector with the desired  
screen size, and if your image will be the right size for your screen.  
For more information about the  
relationship between screen  
size, throw distance and  
converter lenses, see the Lens  
charts on the following pages.

Notes  
Shifting the image  
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen.  
The normal position for the projector is at the centre of the screen. However, you  
can set the projector above or below the centre, or to one side, and adjust the image  
using the Lens shift controls on the top of the projector to maintain a geometrically  
correct image.

Notes  
Mounting the projector  
The four adjustable feet under the chassis allow the projector to be lowered onto a  
flat surface without any danger of hands being trapped between the bottom frame  
and the surface.  
BEFORE INSTALLING THE  
PROJECTOR, READ ALL THE  
WARNINGS BELOW AND  
ALL THOSE IN IMPORTANT  
INFORMATION AT THE  
Ceiling mounting  
FRONT OF THIS MANUAL.  
The projector is designed to be used on a flat surface, but it can be suspended  
from a ceiling. Three M4 mounting holes with a 0.7mm pitch are provided under the  
projector to allow bolting to a ceiling mounting plate.  
The projector weighs  
approximately 9 kg (20 lbs).  
Use safe handling techniques  
when lifting the projector.  
Dimensions  
in mm  
Make sure that the surface,  
ceiling or rigging that is  
to support the projector is  
capable of supporting the  
weight of the projector.  
Backup safety chains or  
wires should always be  
used with ceiling mount  
installations.  
Do not tilt the projector more  
than 12° in either direction  
when in use, as this may  
cause serious lamp failure,  
damage the lamp module  
and cause extra cost on  
replacement.  
To use the projector upside down, set Ceiling mode to On, in the System menu, to  
invert the image.  
12°  
Level adjustment  
If the projector is to be operated from a flat surface such as a projector table, then  
adjustment of projector level should be made by turning the four feet under the  
chassis.  
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen, and the lens  
shift controls used to align the image with the screen, to maintain a geometrically  
correct image.  
12°  
Page 2.11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Rear projection  
To use rear projection, set Rear Projection to On, in the System menu, to reverse  
the image.  
Notes  
For more detailed information  
about using the menus, see  
section 4. Controlling the  
projector.  
In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may  
be used to fold the optical path. The position of the projector and mirror must be  
accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for  
assistance  
Stacking projectors  
The projector is capable of supporting the weight of up to three other projectors  
safely. The stack should be positioned vertically and perpendicular to the screen,  
and the lens shift controls used to align the image with the screen, to maintain a  
geometrically correct image.  
Do not try to stack more than  
three projectors.  
When stacking projectors,  
the stack MUST be vertical, to  
ensure that the stresses are  
distributed to all four chassis  
corners.  
Carefully lower each projector down onto the top of the others, making sure that  
they are vertically aligned with each other, and protected from becoming pushed  
over.  
Align the images from the projectors, using the Lens shift controls on the top of  
the projector.  
Make sure that the surface,  
ceiling or rigging that is  
to support the projector is  
capable of supporting the  
combined weight of all the  
projectors.  
Do not place heavy objects  
on top of the projector  
chassis. Only the chassis  
corners are capable of  
withstanding the weight of  
another projector.  
Backup safety chains or  
wires should always be  
used with ceiling mount  
installations.

Overview  
Controlling the projector  
The projector can be controlled from:  
the remote control  
the projector control panel  
the RS232 input  
For more information about controlling the projector using the RS232 input, see  
Remote communications protocol in section 6. Appendix.  
For information about how to connect the projector, see Connecting the  
projector in section 2. Installation, and Connections in section 6. Appendix.  
Many features are controlled from the menus using the menu navigation keys on  
the remote control or the projector control panel.  
For more information about using the menus, see later in this section, Using the  
menus.  
Some of the menu features, for example brightness, contrast and sharpness,  
can be accessed directly using the control keys at the bottom of the remote  
control.

Many features are controlled  
from the menus using the menu  
navigation keys on the remote  
control or the projector control  
panel.  
For more information about

If you select a source that IS connected and active, the projector  
will automatically adjust to the parameters of the signal, and  
display it.  
If you select a source that is NOT connected or active, the  
projector will continue searching through the input sources until it  
finds a valid signal.  
Always allow the lamp to cool  
for 5 minutes before:

In most situations, you can  
simply point the remote control  
at the screen which will reflect  
the IR signal from the remote  
back toward the receiver on the  
projector.  
In some cases, however,  
ambient conditions may prevent  
this. In this case, point the  
remote control directly at the  
projector.

Remote communications protocol  
Introduction  
The projector can be controlled by using an external control system or a PC via an  
RS232 serial interface, using a terminal-emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.  
Details of how to connect to  
the projector, using the serial  
control input, can be found  
earlier in this section.  
There are 2 types of commands:  
Key commands  
Operation commands  
All commands consist of ascii text strings starting with 2 letters:  
ky for key commands.  
op for operations commands.  
All commands end with an ascii Carriage Return character.  
Key Commands  
Key commands are used to simulate remote control key presses, and use the  
following format:  
ky <keyname> [CR]  
Note: in the example, spaces  
are included for clarity, but are  
not necessary in the actual  
command.
