Basic HT200 Information Congratulations On Your Purchase of the HT200 Projector! The HT200 is one of the very best Projectors available today. The HT200 enables you to project precise images up to 300 inches across (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh computer (desktop or notebook), VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc. The Projector can be placed on a tabletop or cart, or permanently mounted on the ceiling. You may use the Projector to project images from behind the screen.
Remote Control Inserting the batteries 1) Press firmly and slide the battery cover off. 2) Insert the supplied two batteries (size AA/R6).

Installation The distance from the projector lens to the screen determines to the size of the projected image, therefore, you need to consider the place where you set up the projector and screen before making connections. You also need to consider the screen size and height of the unit and screen as other important factors. Tip: Although not advised, a non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.
Use the following information to position the projector. Horizontally the projector needs to be positions with the lens-centered left to right Projection Distance 4:3 Video Screen Distance to 47" 83" 122" Screen Screen Diag. 24" 40" 60" (min.)

Connecting Video Equipment You can connect a document camera, VCR, laser disc player, and DVD player, etc. Connecting to the VIDEO IN VIDEO/S-VIDEO JACKS You can connect up to two pieces of video equipment to the VIDEO IN jacks following the illustration below. Two types of connections can be made. Connect either using the cables indicated in dotted lines or those in gray as shown in the drawing below.
Connecting Component Video Equipment withYCbCr output jacks to the RGB IN connector You can also connect the video component to the RGB IN connector, if the video component has the component video (YCbCr) signal jacks. This connection may provide a better picture quality than the connections on page 9. • You can switch the input source to VIDEO, S-VIDEO, or RGB. • The AUDIO IN jack is for equipment connected to the RGB IN connector. Before connecting • Turn off the components that are to be connected.
Connecting a PC or Macintosh Connecting a PC or Macintosh to the Projector enables computer images for impressive presentations. • The following display standards are supported: VGA 640x480 for graphics VGA 640x400 for graphics VGA 640x350 for graphics VGA 720x400 for text CGA 720x350 for text SuperVGA 800x600 Macintosh at 640x480 Macintosh at 832x624 • If your PC does not support XGA you will need to install a XGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's manual for your XGA configuration.
Modifying the DIP switch (for Macintosh) setting Modify the DIP switch setting on the MAC cable as shown below.
Connecting the remote mouse receiver to an IBM PC/AT computer Connect the IBM/Mac connector on the remote mouse receiver and PC's mouse port with the supplied serial cable. Connecting the remote mouse receiver to an IBM PS/2 or Macintosh computer Connect the supplied serial cable to the IBM/Mac connector on the remote mouse receiver. Connect the supplied mouse adapter to the other end of the serial cable and the computer mouse port.
2) Press the POWER ON button on the remote control or the POWER button on top of the unit to turn on the unit. The POWER indicator on top of the unit turns to green and start blinking. It will take one minute for the projector to be ready to use. Wait until the indicator stops blinking and lights steadily in green. Note: While the POWER indicator is blinking, the unit doesn't turn off even if you press the POWER OFF button on the remote control or the POWER button on the unit.
7) Change the unit setting to suit to the projecting method and selected source as described in step 4. • Select the type of projection If the projected image is horizontally reversed or upside down, change the projection type. See page 19. • If the component video signal output jacks of the video component are connected to the RGB IN connector (see page 10), set "INPUT MODE" to YCbCr" in the menu. This setting can provide a better picture image. See page 20.
Changing computer's video resolutions Depending on your computer's graphic capability, you may be able to select one of several resolutions. Generally a computer- either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 MB VRAM will run: 640 x 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color) 800 x 600 at 65,000 colors. 1024 x 768 at 256 colors. As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run decreases. With 2 MB VRAM a computer will run: 640 x 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color). 800 x 600 at 16.
Adjusting the volume of the projector speaker Press VOLUME + to increase the volume or - to decrease. The volume can also be adjusted with the menu operation (see page 24). Using the laser pointer You can highlight the desired point on the screen with the beamed red light. ***Caution*** Do not look into the laser pointer while it is on.
