Connection When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to: 1. 2. 3. Turn all equipment off before making any connections. Use the correct signal cables for each source. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted. In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
Connecting video source devices You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality.
Playing sound through the projector You can make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector. 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 audio projector. Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus.
Operation Starting up the projector 1. Plug the power cord into the projector and into a wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted). Check that the POWER indicator light on the projector lights orange after power has been applied. Please use the original accessories (e.g. power cable) only with the device to avoid possible dangers such as electric shock and fire. 2. Press POWER on the projector or remote control to start the projector and a start up tone sounds.
Screw adjuster foot to fine tune the horizontal angle. To retract the foot, hold up the projector then slowly lower the projector. Screw the adjuster foot in a reverse direction. If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal. To correct this situation, see "Correcting 2D Keystone" on page 27 for details. 26 • Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.
Auto-adjusting the image In some cases, you may need to optimize the picture quality. To do this, press AUTO on the projector or remote control. Within 3 seconds, the built-in Intelligent Auto Adjustment function will re-adjust the values of Frequency and Clock to provide the best picture quality. The current source information will be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen for 3 seconds. • The screen will be blank while AUTO is functioning.

Changing Color Space In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector’s HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space. To do this: 1. 2. Press MENU/EXIT and then press ◄/► until the SOURCE menu is highlighted. Press ▼ to highlight Color Space Conversion and press ◄/► to select the setting. This function is only available when the HDMI input socket is in use.
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, 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 signal. To change the projected image ratio (no matter what aspect the source is): • Using the remote control 1.
About the aspect ratio In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas. 1. Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector's native resolution in its horizontal width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of the screen without altering the image's aspect ratio. 4.
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.
Setting the User 1/User 2 mode There are two user-definable modes if the current available picture modes are not suitable for your need. You can use one of the picture modes (except the User 1/User 2) as a starting point and customize the settings. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press MENU/EXIT to open the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Go to the Picture > Picture Mode menu. Press ◄/► to select User 1 to User 2. Press ▼ to highlight Reference Mode.
Selecting a Color Temperature The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type selected. 1. 2. 3. Cooler: makes the image appear bluish white. Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white. Warm: 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”.
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.
8. 9. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments. Press MENU/EXIT to exit and save the settings. Resetting current or all picture modes 1. 2.

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 Projector Mirror Remove the dust with a "Bellows/Lens Blower" readily available from camera shops to prevent scratching the mirror with subsequently wiped. Cleaning the lens Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.
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 = A*(hours used in Normal mode) + B*(hours used in Economic mode) + 1.00*(hours used in SmartEco mode) Model A B MX854UST/MW855UST 2 1.5 MH856UST 2.33 1.
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.
Timing of replacing the lamp When the Lamp indicator lights up 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. Go to http://www.benq.com for a replacement lamp. The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the projector off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes.
Replacing the lamp • If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp. • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cord before changing the lamp. • To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp.
5. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use the handle to slowly pull the lamp out of the projector. • Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to break and scatter broken glass in the projector. • Do not place the lamp in locations where water might splash on it, children can reach it, or near flammable materials. • Do not insert your hands into the projector after the lamp is removed.
Resetting the lamp timer 11. After the startup logo, open the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Go to the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings menu. Press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.
