2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ATTENTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cable on the rear panel before removing the top cover of the projector. Refer to trained, authorised personnel for technical assistance. This symbol indicates the possible electric shock hazard associated with uninsulated live components in the interior of the unit. This symbol indicates the presence of important instructions regarding use and maintenance of the product.
Please follow carefully the warnings listed below, to ensure safe and long term performance of your projector. • Do not use the projector when the room temperature is above 35°C (95°F). • Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal voltage within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, earthed (Fig. 3). • Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets on the top cover, or the air outlets underneath the projector.
3 PACKAGING AND CONTENTS 1 2 3 4 Fig. 5 It is recommended that the carton and packaging is retained for future use and in the unlikely event that your projector needs to be returned for repair. The carton should contain the following: - the projector - the remote control - four 1.5V AAA batteries (for remote control) - three power cables (EU, UK, USA) - the user manual. To unpack the projector safely and easily please follow steps 1 to 4, as drawing (Fig. 5).
4 INSTALLATION ZO O M Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the optional bracket for a fixed ceiling or wall installation. CAUTION: In the case of ceiling or wall mounting using a suspension bracket, follow the instructions carefully and comply with the safety standards you will find in the box together with the bracket.

Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to interfere with the screen’s characteristics. Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected image. For the true cinema experience best results are achieved with little or no ambient light.
SWITCHING OFF AND RETURNING TO STAND-BY (red and green LEDs flashing) and will stop automatically after this period. By remote control: press By keyboard: press key LED INDICATORS The LED indicators, located in the top-rear of the projector, provide information about the state of the projector (see table below). When switching off, the projector goes in to stand-by memorising the input selection at the time of switch-off.

care to observe the correspondence with the outputs on the source. The video signals that can be connected to this input can have horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video resolution), 32 kHz, or higher (progressive scanning video, high definition video). Some sources provide the facility to choose between a progressive signal or an interlaced signal.

8 REMOTE CONTROL Insert the batteries, taking care to match the polarity, as indicated in the battery recess of the remote (Fig. 24). - + + - + + - The remote control sends commands to the projector via infrared signals. It is possible to control the projector by pointing the remote control at the screen; the sensor at the front of the projector will pick up the reflected infrared commands.

9 ON SCREEN MENU SOURCE SELECTION by pressing the ‡ key. During the short time it takes to find the signal, a box appears showing the signal requested. As soon as the signal is shown in the box additional information is displayed concerning the video standard (for video signals) or resolution (for graphic signals), and format. Fom the SETUP menu it is possible to choose to visualize or not this information, for more details check the “SOURCE INFORMATION” in “MENU” section.
Other adjustments (marked by the < symbol) provide submenus, which appear as a superimposed window in which the selection is made with the · / ‚keys (Fig. 28). be separately identifiable. Alternatively use a scene composed of black objects alongside other dark coloured objects. CONTRAST Use this control to adjust the image’s black level without affecting white areas.
CINEMA MODE In AUTO the deinterlacer recognises if the video signal source is a movie film (obtained from a Telecine device with 3:2 or 2:2 pull-down) and applies a deinterlace algorithm optimised for this type of signal. If the video signal source is not identified as a film, or if you select NO the deinterlacer applies a Motion compensated algorithm optimised for video camera signals. In the left side the image is not altered by the filter, in the right part the filter is activated.
COLOR TEMPERATURE The color temperature adjustment is made by positioning the white point inside CIE cromaticity diagram. The systems allows to choose from 36 predefined white points inside the neutral color area (Fig.29). IMAGE This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, etc. ASPECT This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image.
Along vertical lines the color temperature is constant but is different from black body curve, which mean if you select point from the high part of the diagram you increase the green componet, while low part of diagram cause an increase of purple component. and image positioning, calling the automatic control procedure from the AUTO button on the remote control or keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a white or light coloured background on the screen in the current picture.
of the image in either direction (Fig. 33). SETUP The setup menu contains less frequently used adjustments that may be required during installation (e.g. On Screen Display language selection or the display of Test Patterns). ORIENTATION Select the option that best describes the installation i.e. desktop front, ceiling front, desktop rear and ceiling rear..
n the initial phase of installation the configurable keys (F1, F2) serve as optical zoom and optical focus (Fig.34). Source list/Edit source name 1 2 3 4 5 POWER ON If active (AUTO) allows to power up the system directly from the power feeder, once the initializing phase is completed. If not active (STAND-BY) once the initializing phase is completed the system remains in a stand-by mode waiting to receive the power on command from the remote control or the key pad.
enlarged is selected in Pan mode (symbol in the centre of the picture) using the · and fl, ‡ arrow keys. You can toggle between Zoom and Pan mode by pressing the F1/F2 key on the remote control. Once one letter has been inserted, to insert the following one it is necessary to move with the cursor in the next right position with the ‡ key of the remote control, repeat this procedure to insert other letters. Use the · key to switch from small case to capital letters and viceversa.
SAVE A MEMORY To save the current values of the image parameters in Memory 1, use the · and ‚ keys to move to line ‘1’ and then open the pull-down menu by pressing the fl key (Fig.39). Then select the option ‘Save current settings’. To confirm that the operation has been completed successfully, the message ‘Current settings saved in Memory 1’ is displayed at the bottom of the screen and the letter ‘S’ appears to the left of the memory name. The same procedure is used to save parameters in Memories 2 and 3.
is saved in a temporary menu (labelled with 0 - AUTO). Once one or more memories have been recalled, you can restore the settings that were effective at the moment the Memories menu was accessed by selecting 0 - AUTO. However, this operation must be completed before the ‘Memories’ menu page disappears (30 seconds after the last operation commanded from the remote control or the keypad).
11 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE No power (Green and red LED are OFF) that the aerial system is in good working order. - Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first generation” copy and in good condition. - Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture performance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture menu. - Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I.
Video Image showing colour misalignment on vertical details Remote control does not work - Check the batteries and for correct polarity. - Ensure that the area between the infrared sensor (front of projector) and the remote control is free of obstruction. - Ensure that infrared sensors (front and rear of projector) are not exposed to intense light levels. - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical specifications of your projector.
