A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior uniformity and edge-to-edge definition. A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so called “rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better colorimetry and a lower black level to the image. The DMD™ chip resolution identifies the projector: 1024x576 pixel for HT 280 model and 1280x720 pixel for HT 300 XTRA-H model.

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. • Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal voltage within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz, earthed (Fig. 3). ettre mprom e pas coue d'incend resq eme type m e de nst tique n agai otectio ed pr 4 250 V T 3.
• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens. • The projector must be positioned on a stable, suitable platform or be installed using a bracket for fixed ceiling or wall installation. Do not rest the projector on the side panels or on the rear panel when in operation. • For installations using a ceiling or wall-mounted bracket, carefully follow the installation and safety instructions provided with the bracket’s literature.

which is undesirable for a large audience. Preferably, use a screen with black, non-reflecting borders, which will perfectly frame the projected image. 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.
memorising the input selection at the time of switch-off. The fans will continue to work until the lamp has cooled down (red and green LEDs flashing) and will stop automatically after this period. SWITCHING OFF AND RETURNING TO STAND-BY By remote control: press By keyboard: press key LED INDICATORS When switching off, the projector goes in to stand-by STATE The LED indicators, located in the top-rear of the projector, provide information about the state of the projector (see table below).

SCART to RCA connector adapter cable, an RGB video signal from a source equipped with an SCART connector can be connected to this input. Component signals are connected to inputs Y, Cr and Cb, taking 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).
its output can be set with the “Screen control” adjustment in the “Aspect” menu. This output allows reduction in the area of a 16:9 screen, into a 4:3 format, by activating a screen masking system (refer to screen manufacturer for further information).

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 The input selection menu (Inputs) is called by pressing 0 on the remote control and, when no other menu is displayed, using the and keys on the keypad. To select an input, scroll the list with the and keys until the desired input is highlighted, then press . Display of the input selection menu is terminated by pressing the ESC key, or when the time allowed for displaying the onscreen menu has lapsed (set in the Set-up Menu).
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). .

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. VIDEO TYPE Activates a filter to improve stability of pictures from video recorders.
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. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the relative source is called.
the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. However, if the image is not perfectly centralised it may prove useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis 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.
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). If the projected images needs to be centred horizontally, the manual lens shift adjustment allows the projected image to be moved vertically, up or down, in relation to the centre of the screen; the maximum adjustment being equal to half the height of the image in either direction (Fig. 31).
In the initial phase of installation the configurable keys (F1, F2) serve as optical zoom and optical focus (Fig.32). 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.
The text insertion mode remains the same if text is being inserted for the first time or if a previously inserted name is being edited. The letter insertion can be done in any available position (represented by horizontal lines). Use the and keys to move between letters either left or right respectively. Press the numeric key matching the letter (Fig. 34), the first click of the key selects the first letter, the second click the second letter and so on.
The operations that can be performed on each memory selected are described here below. MEMORIES The main parameters of the image may be saved in distinct groups of values (known as ‘Memories’); these parameters can subsequently be applied all together by way of a single command.
RESTORE CURRENT SETTINGS On entering the ‘Memories’ menu, a copy of the current settings 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) - Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I. - Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a working socket. - Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector. - Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type (T 3.15A H) (Fig. 2). - Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical assistance.
Video Image showing colour misalignment on vertical details - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical specifications of your projector. - Adjust Y/C Delay settings in the Image Adjustments / Advanced Settings to reduce colour misalignment. For best results use an external colour bar test pattern source. Remote control does not work - Check the batteries and for correct polarity.
