Introduction Using the Remote Control Available Range of the Remote Control The remote control can be used to control the projector within the ranges shown in the illustration. Note: The signal from the remote control can be reflected by the screen. When using the remote control: • For best results, hold the remote control within 23 ft. (7m) of the back or top sensor and aligned within 30˚. • Be sure not to drop the remote control or expose it to moisture or high temperature.
Connections and Setup Before Setting Up Connecting the Projector to Other Devices Note: • Before connecting, be sure to turn off both the projector and the sources to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the sources first, followed by the projector. When connecting a computer, be sure that the computer is the last device to be turned on after all the connections are made. • Be sure to read the user manuals of the devices to be connected before making connections.
Connection and Setup Connecting to Video Equipment Connecting with S-Video or Composite Video Cable You can connect devices equipped with Composite video or S-Video output, such as a VCR or laser disc player, to the Video or S-Video input using the appropriate cable. 1 Connect an S-Video or Composite video cable to the projector. 2 Connect the cable to the S-Video or Composite video output on the video equipment. ��������������� Note: • Some Composite cables include red and white audio jacks.
Connection and Setup Connecting to DVI Video Equipment You can connect to devices equipped with DVI output, such as a DVD player or DTV decoder to the DVI input. 1 Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI input on the projector. Secure the connectors by tightening the thumbscrews. 2 Connect the DVI-D cable to the DVI output on the video equipment. Secure the connectors by tightening the thumbscrews.
Connection and Setup Connecting the Projector to a Computer Connecting with HD15-pin VGA cable. 1 Connect an HD 15-pin VGA cable to the RGB HD input on the projector. Secure the connectors by tightening the thumbscrews. 2 Connect the VGA cable to the VGA output on the computer. Secure the connectors by tightening the thumbscrews. ����������������� ���������� ��������� Note: • See the “Computer Compatibility Chart” on page 49 for a list of computer signals compatible with the projector.
Connection and Setup Connecting the projector to a computer with DVI-D cable 1 Connect a DVI-D cable to the DVI / Computer input on the projector. Secure the connectors by tightening the thumbscrews. 2 Connect the cable to the DVI-D output on the video equipment. Secure the connectors by tightening the thumbscrews. ���������������� ����������� ■ This projector is compatible with VESA-standard DDC 1/DDC 2B.
Connection and Setup Using the Adjustment Feet The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet. This is useful for correcting the angle of the projection when the projector is placed on an uneven surface or when the screen is slanted. The adjustment feet are connected to threaded bolts, which can be turned in to shorten or out to lengthen. 1 Lift the side of the projector you would like ti raise or lower. 2 Turn the adjustment feet to shorten or lengthen.
Connection and Setup The image is focused by rotating the focus ring on the projector. The image can be adjusted to the desired size by rotating the zoom ring. ���������� ��������� 1 Zoom is adjusted by rotating the zoom ring. Zoom ring Zoom in Zoom out 2 Focus is adjusted by moving the focus ring right or left until focus is achieved.
Connection and Setup Using the Lens Shift The height and width of the projected image can be adjusted to be within the shift range of the lens by rotating the lens shift dial at the top of the projector ��������������� ���������� ��������������� ������������� Note: Do not force the lens shift dial beyond the range of the upper left and lower right positions. This may cause the projector to malfunction.
Connection and Setup Note: • The projector lens should be centered on the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult. • For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or artificial light. Light falling directly on the screen washes out the colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
