Shutting down the projector  
Troubleshooting your setup  
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.  
If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section  
(page 23). If it does not, troubleshoot the setup.  
The LED on top of the projectors keypad indicates the state of the projector  
and can help you troubleshoot.  
Screen Save  
You can make the black screen appear after five minutes by turning on  
Screen Save in the Settings>System menu. See page 32. There are six time  
options for the Screen Save feature. They range from five minutes to 30 min-  
utes with five minute intervals.

If you are trying to control your computers mouse, make sure the USB  
cable is connected. If using a USB cable, make sure the correct drivers  
are installed.

Optimizing computer images  
Presentation features  
After your computer is connected properly and the computers image is on  
the screen, you can optimize the image using the onscreen menus. For gen-  
eral information on using the menus, see page 27.  
Several features are provided to make giving presentation easier. The fol-  
lowing is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 27.  
The remotes Effect button allows you to assign various features to the  
key. The default effect is About, which displays information about the  
projector and current source. You can select from Blank, Mute, Aspect  
Ratio, Source, Auto Image, Freeze, Zoom, and About. See page 32 for  
details.  
Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, or Brightness in the Picture menu.  
Change the Aspect Ratio. Aspect Ratio is the ratio of the image width to  
image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV  
and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your  
input source. See page 28 for details.  
The Freeze effect allows you to freeze the displayed image. This is use-  
ful if you want to make changes on your computer without your audi-  
ence seeing them.  
Adjust the Color Space or Color Temperature in the Advanced menu.  
Adjust the Phase, Tracking, or Horizontal or Vertical position in the  
Advanced menu.  
The Blank button on the remote allows you to display a blank screen  
instead of the active source. See page 32.  
Once you have optimized the image for a particular source, you can  
save the settings using Presets. This allows you to quickly recall these  
settings later. See page 29.  
The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup  
screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 32.  
Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to auto-  
matically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or  
display a black screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 31 and  
page 32.  
A Low Power menu option is also available to help lower the projec-  
tors fan sound volume. See page 31.

menu. See page 28.  
For ceiling mounted projection, turn Ceiling mode on in the Set-  
tings>System menu.

input source. See page 28.  
Specify which source the projector checks first for active video during  
power-up.  
Specify the function of the Effect Key on the remote.  
Turn the projectors display messages on and off.  
Turn on power saving features.  
Select a Sharpness setting. See page 30.

individually adjust the intensity of the red, green, and blue color. See  
page 30.  
Specify blank screen colors and startup logos.  
Specify the menu language.  
Select a different Video Standard. Auto tries to determine the standard  
of the incoming video. Select a different standard if necessary. See  
page 30.

Presets: The provided Presets optimize the projector for displaying com-  
puter presentations, photographs, film images, and video images. (Film  
input is material originally captured on a film camera, like a movie; video  
input is material originally captured on a video camera, like a TV show or  
sporting event.) You can use the preset as a starting point, then further cus-  
tomize the settings for each source. The settings you customize are saved in  
the preset for each source. To restore the factory default settings, choose Fac-  
tory Reset in the Settings>Service menu.  
Presets  
Save User Presets  
There are also three user-definable presets. To set a preset for the current  
source, adjust the image, select Save Settings in the Presets menu, then

image. Select a sharpness setting.  
Sharpness  
Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video  
sources (it wont appear in the menu for S-video or composite video  
sources). It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned  
for the video input. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically  
determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then  
choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709, or  
REC601 for component video sources.  
Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed  
value, or select User and individually adjust the intensity of the red, green,  
and blue colors.  
Video Standard: When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the  
video standard automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The  
video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If  
the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not  
look right or the image may appear torn.If this happens, manually select  
a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Stan-  
dard menu.

turned on or off by placing or removing a check in the respective check-  
boxes.

Sources>Power-up Source: this determines which source the projector  
checks first for active video during power-up.  
Sources: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key as  
an optional full-featured remote. Also allows selection of a default Power-  
up Source and enables or disables Autosource. When Autosource is not  
checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If  
no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked,  
Power-up Source determines which source the projector defaults to at  
power-up. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in order  
until a source is found or until power down.

System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translu-  
cent screen.  
Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection.  
NOTE: It is recommended that all final image adjustments in Ceiling mode  
are made once the unit has fully warmed up.  
System menu  
Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically  
goes into the startup state after the projector is powered on. This allows con-  
trol of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch.  
Display Messages: displays status messages (such as Searchingor  
Mute) in the lower-left corner of the screen.  
Low Power: toggles between on and off. Turn it on to lower the light output  
of the lamp. This also lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter.  
Power Save: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected  
for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector  
powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers  
down, the image will be displayed.

WARNINGS:  
To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before  
you replace the lamp.  
Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.  
Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection  
sharpness.  
Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely  
event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.  
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but  
use caution when removing it.  
5 Carefully remove the lamp module by grasping and lifting the metal  
bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.  
6 Install the new lamp module, making sure that it is properly seated.  
7 Tighten the single screw.  
8 Replace the lamp door by sliding the tabs into the tab bays and tighten-  
ing the two screws.
