Introduction Your new InFocus projector is specifically designed for home theater applications. It sets a high standard using the latest DLP™ technology and new DNX video processing from Pixelworks™. Whether you are watching movies or High Definition broadcasts or playing the latest video game, you will enjoy amazing image quality. The unique design and color of the projector make it a welcome addition to your home.
Connector Panel The projector provides the following connection options: • M1-DA/DVI (Digital Visual Interface) • HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) • Component (RCA) • SCART RGB (you must enable this connector, see page 26) • S-video • Composite video (RCA) component RCA See “Video connectors” on page 7 for details.
Positioning the projector Table 1: Range of distance to the screen for a given screen size for the IN72 To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some guidelines: • • Distance to screen Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.
Choosing the aspect ratio 16:9 image 16:9 image input 16:9 aspect ratio 9 9 16 16 4:3 image input 4:3 aspect ratio 4:3 image on 16:9 screen 3 9 black bars What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. For example, most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a 16:9 screen, then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies and HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content.
Video connectors The first step for connecting video is determining what type of output connectors your video device has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest, is: 1 M1-DA/DVI or HDMI (both are digital inputs) 2 component /SCART RGB video (RCAs) 3 S-video 4 composite video (RCA) If your device has a VGA connector, you can use the M1-DA/DVI connector for a high quality image. Many PC game systems have VGA connectors.
Connecting a video device Component (RCA) connection If your device uses component connectors, plug a component video cable with red, green, and blue RCA connectors into the source device’s component connectors and the Component connectors on the projector. You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound.
Digital connections HDMI connection HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector. The M1-DA/DVI and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors are digital and yield the highest quality image.
Displaying an image plug in Power cord Connect the power cord to the Power connector on the back of the projector and to your electrical outlet. NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector. Press the Power button on the remote or keypad. The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the start-up screen is displayed and the LED is steady green. It can take a minute for the image to achieve full brightness.

However, if you wish to make further changes you can optimize the image using onscreen menus. Adjust the Contrast, Brightness, Color, Tint, or Aspect Ratio in the Picture menu.
Shutting down the projector Troubleshooting your setup Power Save If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The projector also has a Power Save feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 20 minutes. By default, this feature is on. See page 26.
