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, shortening the projector's life
span and darkening the image.
2. Do not look straight at the projector lens
during operation. The intense light beam may
damage your eyes.
3. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.

5. 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).
9. 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.
Under no circumstances should you ever
undo or remove any other covers. Refer
servicing only to suitably qualified
professional service personnel.
6. 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 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.
7. 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.
11. Do not block the ventilation holes.
- Do not place this projector on a blanket,
bedding or any other soft surface.
- Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any
other item.
- Do not place inflammables near the projector.
8. Never replace the lamp assembly or any
electronic components unless the projector is
unplugged.

12. 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 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 wall
socket and call BenQ to have the projector
serviced.
13. Do not stand the projector on end vertically.
Doing so may cause the projector to fall over,
causing injury or resulting in damage to the
projector.
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.
14. 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.
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.
15. 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.
16. 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.

Positioning your projector
Choosing a location
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.
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:
1. Front Table
3. Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed near the Select this location with the projector placed near the
floor in front of the screen. This is the most common floor behind the screen.

portability.
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.

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.
4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 16:9 aspect image scaled to
aspect display area
a 4:3 aspect 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.
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 15, 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. Select your screen size.
2. 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
3. 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.
4. 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 4416 mm and with a vertical
offset of 210 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
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. 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.
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 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 4416 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 120-inch screen is required. If you can only obtain
metric sized screens, the listed screen sizes on either side of the 120-inch screen are the 3.0 m (3000 mm) and 3.5
m (3500 mm) screens.
Checking the min and max projection distance values for these screen sizes, indicates that the 4.5 m measured
projection distance will also fit the 3.0 m (3000 mm) size screen. Be aware that these different screens have
different vertical offset values.
There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that
if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and
distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for
this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it
best suits your installation location.

Connecting Video source devices
This section describes how to connect the projector to Video source devices using video cables. Video cable
connections are recommended for Video presentations.
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output
sockets:
•
•
•
•
•
HDMI
DVI-D
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 HDMI. If your source device is equipped with a HDMI socket,
you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.
See "Connecting a HDMI source device" on page 19 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI source device
and other details.
If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is DVI-D. If your source device is equipped with a DVI-
D socket, you can enjoy digital video quality.
See "Connecting a DVI-D source device" on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a DVI-D source device
and other details.
If no DVI-D source is available, the next best video signal is Component Video (not to be confused with
composite Video). Digital TV tuners and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your
devices, they should be your connection method of choice in preference to S-Video or (composite) Video.
Component Video device.
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.
See "Connecting an S-Video or a composite Video source device" on page 22 for how to connect the projector to
an S-Video or Video device.
Connecting Audio
The projector has 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.

Connecting a HDMI source device
The projector provides a HDMI input socket that allows you to connect it to a HDMI source device like a DVD
player, a DTV tuner or a display.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between
compatible devices like DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital
viewing and listening experience.
Examine your source device to determine if it has an unused HDMI output socket available:

Connecting an S-Video or a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video or Video output socket available:
•
If it has both sockets, use the S-Video output socket for connection as the S-Video terminal provides better
picture quality than the Video terminal. See "Connecting Video source devices" on page 18 for details.
•
•
If it has either of the output socket, you can also continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and the video source
device, you need not connect to this device again using an S-Video or composite Video connection as this
makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. You need only connect using a
composite Video connection if both Component Video and S-Video are not supplied on the video source
device (for example, with some analog video cameras).
To connect the projector to an S-Video/Video source device:
1. Take an S-Video/Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video/Video output socket of the Video source
device.
2. Connect the other end of the S-Video/Video cable to the S-VIDEO/VIDEO socket on the projector.

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 color 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 the 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 a operation mode that suits your need, perform one of the
following steps.
•

time of switching picture
modes.
The picture modes available for different types of signals are listed below.
PC input signals: D-Sub/Comp. (analog RGB) and DVI-D (DVI-D)
1. Dynamic mode (Default): 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. Presentation mode: Is designed for presentations. The brightness is emphasized in this mode to match PC
and notebook coloring.
3. 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. 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.
5. 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.
Video input signals: Component (YPbPr), S-Video, Video, D-Sub/Comp. (YPbPr), DVI-D (HDCP/
HDMI), HDMI, HDCP
1. Dynamic mode: Is suitable for playing gamebox-based video games in a normal living room lighting level
environment.
2. Standard mode (Default): Is appropriate for viewing colorful movies, video clips from digital cameras or
DVs.
3. Cinema mode: Is suitable for enjoying dark movies or DVD movies best viewed in a blackened (little light)
home cinema or lounge room environment.
4. 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. The User 1 and User 2 modes here are different

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
Highlight Color Temperature in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing
remote control.

on the projector or
There are four color temperature* settings available.
1. T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish white than other
settings.
2. T2: Makes images appear bluish white.
3. T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.
4. 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. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
2. Press ENTER on the projector or remote control and the 3D Color Management page displays.
3. Highlight Primary Color and press

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 40 and unplug the power cord.

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 Dual-Reliable mode) + 3/2 (hours used in Dual-Brightest mode) + 3/2 (hours used in Single-
Alternative mode)
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press
/
until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.
3. You will see the Equivalent Lamp #1 Hour/Equivalent Lamp #2 Hour information displaying on the menu.
4. 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 2000-3000 hours with proper usage. To
keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menus.
•
Setting Lamp Mode as Dual-Reliable
Compared to Dual-Brightest mode, using Dual-Reliable mode reduces system noise and power consumption. If
the Dual-Reliable mode is selected, the light output for the individual lamp will be reduced.
Setting the projector in Dual-Reliable mode also extends the individual lamp operation life. See "Setting the lamp
•
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.
Timing of replacing the lamp
When the LAMP indicator light is red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install
a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances
the lamp may explode.
The LAMP indicator light and TEMPerature indicator light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn
the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the LAMP or TEMPerature indicator light still
lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on page 50 for
details.
