functionality to offer a complete home theater solution.  
The optional Home Theater Kit is not included with the Compaq  
Microportable Projector. For information on purchasing the

Contents of the Home Theater Kit  
The home theater kit contains five cables:  
S-video cable—connects the projector to a video source with  
super video capabilities (e.g., DVD player, video cassette  
recorder, laser disc player, camcorder, satellite dish  
receiver, etc.) using an S-video connector.  
1
Composite video cable—connects the projector to a video  
source without super video capabilities (e.g., videocassette  
recorder) using a composite video connector.  
2
3
VGA-to-HDTV/Component video cable—connects the projector  
to a video source for high quality video playback. The  
component video cable connects directly to a standard VGA  
connector. In addition, this cable can be used to connect the  
projector to a High Definition TV (HDTV) source. For details on  
HDTV support, refer to “HDTV Modes” later in this chapter.  
Home Theater audio cable—connects a stereo receiver to the  
projector using a computer with integrated audio capability.

HDTV Modes  
The Compaq Microportable Projector is capable of displaying  
various High Definition TV (HDTV) display modes. A variety of  
sources can be used to provide HDTV data to the projector for  
display. Some of these sources are:  
Digital-VHS (D-VHS) player  
HDTV-DVD player  
Satellite Dish HDTV receiver  
A variety of DTV tuners (to receive programming over the  
airwaves)  
Game stations  
Most of these sources will provide an analog component video  
output, a standard VGA output, or a standard digital DVI output.  
The color information can be either in YPrPb (default) format or  
RGB format. The user can switch between these using the  
on-screen display menu adjustments by selecting “A/V & HDTV  
Control.” Refer to “Introducing the On-Screen Display Menu” in  
Chapter 3 for more information.  
The projector is capable of processing HDTV data provided  
either on the standard VGA connector or the DVI interface. Use  
the VGA-to-HDTV/Component video cable that comes with the  
optional Home Theater Kit to feed the component outputs to the  
VGA input connector.  
The following modes are supported on the DVI interface:  
HD0  
640 x 480p (480 progressive)  
640 x 480i (component video)  
1280 x 720p  
HD1—1920 x 1080i

Using the Home Theater Kit  
When displaying HDTV content, it is recommended that you  
display it in its native 16:9 widescreen mode. For this, you may  
need to select the HDTV Fill to Aspect Ratio mode on the  
projector to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the  
material. Note that in this mode, you will have black stripes on  
top and bottom of the projected image, just as you see on a  
standard TV set when viewing widescreen content.  
A desktop or notebook computer can also be used to generate a  
HDTV video stream. Capable computers should be able to  
read/acquire the HDTV data and blend it into the desktop  
graphics. The composite image is then sent to the projector for  
display. In this case, the projector displays the image at the  
standard 4:3 aspect ratio, just as it would any other computer  
graphics mode. The projector processes the data as it comes from  
the computer.  
When displaying HDTV content in a window as part of your  
desktop environment, it is recommended to project it in the  
computer’s native 4:3 mode since the computer has already  
embedded the HDTV video stream in widescreen format within  
the window. To do so, you may need to select the Fill to Screen  
mode on your projector to preserve the height-to-width  
relationship of the material.  
Regardless of the source, the HDTV formats are generally of  
higher resolution than that of the projector (XGA, or 1024 x 768).  
Therefore, the projector will normally downscale the HDTV data  
to fit the complete image within the displayable 1024 x 768  
resolution.

Care and Maintenance  
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq  
projector during normal everyday use.  
Protecting the Projector  
To protect your projector from overheating and other types of  
damage, follow these suggestions:  
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this  
projector as indicated on the product label located on the  
bottom of the projector.  
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or  
convenience receptacle. The overall system load must not  
exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If an extension cord  
or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated  
for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all  
products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do  
not exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings  
limit. Refer to the product label located on the bottom of the  
projector.  
Install the projector near an outlet that you can easily reach.  
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug firmly and  
pulling it from the electrical outlet.  
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.  
Use only cleaners recommended for cleaning camera lenses  
to clean the projector lens.

Care and Maintenance  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.  
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push  
objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.  
Do not drop the projector or place it on an unstable surface.  
Do not expose the projector to rain or moisture.  
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk  
on the cord.  
Do not allow the projector to be exposed to high  
temperatures.  
Do not open the projector or attempt to service this product  
for any reason other than to replace the lamp module. Adjust  
only those controls that are covered by the operating  
instructions. If the projector is not operating properly or has  
been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized  
dealer, reseller, or service provider.  
Cleaning the Lens  
To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface,  
follow this cleaning procedure. First, remove any dust particles  
from the lens by blowing them off with clean, dry, deionized air.  
However, this may not be a convenient method, and an alternate  
method is described below.  
CAUTION: Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens  
surface.  
Ä
1. Spray a clean cloth with a cleaner recommended for cleaning  
camera lenses.  
2. Wipe the lens in a single direction with the cloth. Do not wipe  
back and forth across the lens surface.

Care and Maintenance  
3. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the  
cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged,  
replace it.  
Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or  
softener sheets when drying the cloth.  
CAUTION: Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a  
long time as doing so may contaminate the lens with dye from the cloth.  
The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air.
