Safeguards
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read and understand all instructions before using. Pay particular attention to areas where this
symbol ! is shown.
! WARNING ± Indicates  a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
! Caution ± Indicates  a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.  Do not leave
appliance unattended while in use.
3. Never look directly into the projector lens when the lamp is on.  The metal halide lamp produces
a strong light which could damage your eyesight.
!4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or
damaged Ð until it has been examined by a qualified serviceman.
!6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled or contact hot surfaces.
7. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the
appliance should be used.  Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.
8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in
use.   Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
!9. Let appliance cool completely before putting away or when replacing lamp. Loop cord loosely
around appliance when storing.
10. Disconnect this unit from its source of supply before replacing the projection lamp.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified
technician when service or repair work is required.  Incorrect reassembly can cause electric
shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
13. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
14. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.
!15. This unit is equipped with optical lenses and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
16. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.
17. Always remove the lens cap when the projection lamp is on.

Power Connection
Caution
!
To prevent damage to equipment, all power to
the MP8020 and input sources must be turned
OFF during cable hook up.
The power cord (Figure 3-3) is detachable from the
projector and has different connection plugs on each
end. Plug the female end into the power cord
terminal on the projector and the male end into a
properly grounded electrical outlet.
Figure 3-3. Connecting the Power Cord
RGB (Computer) Input Connection
There are two input jacks available for connecting either desktop or laptop computers. Find the cable that fits
your computer type. The MP8020 comes with two computer input cables. The first cable (Figure 3-4) fits
IBM[ PC and compatible VGA video systems, and the other cable (Figure 3-5) fits on the end of the first
cable and adapts it to fit Apple[MAC II computers.
Figure 3-4. IBM PC ComputerFigure 3-5. MAC II Computer
S-Video Connection
Some video devices can generate S-VHS video, or
S-Video (Y/C). The MP8020 will accept this signal
through the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2 connectors.
The S-VHS cable has identical round four-pin
connectors on either end (Figure 3-6). Connect one
end to the S-Video jack on the input source device,
and the other end to the S-VIDEO1 or S-VIDEO2
terminal on the MP8020. Remember to connect the
audio cables for sound output.Four-Pin Connector S-VHS Cable
Figure 3-6. S-Video Input
Video/Audio Connection
Find the small, circular connector on your camcorder laserdisc player, VCR, or other video source marked
VIDEO OUT, TO MONITOR, or something similar.
Use the 3-conductor video/audio cable and insert the video (white) connector into the video output jack of
your video source device, and the other end into the MP8020s VIDEO1 or VIDEO2 connector.

Next, find the AUDIO OUT terminals on your VCR or other audio source. Insert the left and right audio cable
connectors (Figure 3-7) to the input source, and connect the other end to the AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R
terminals on the MP8020.
Note
The MP8020 projector is not a stereo device. Stereo sound channeled
through it becomes monophonic due to an internal sound mixer that
converts stereo to mono.
Figure 3-7. 3-Conductor Video/Audio 
                    Input Cable
If you are giving a multimedia presentation that is complete with stereophonic sound, then you may want to
consider connecting your audio source to a high-quality stereo system. Of course, if you route your audio
cables this way, the MP8020 audio controls 
 or  buttons will not function.
BNC Connection
The MP8020 projector has a single BNC connector. The BNC cable, available at most electronic stores, can be
used for video input. Connect one end to the BNC jack on the input source device, and the other end to the
BNC jack (terminal 2 only) on the MP8020. Remember to connect the audio cables (RCA type connectors) for
sound output.
Mouse Receiver Connection
The MP8020 remote control receiver can be used to control the mouse button functions on your computer.
The ªMouse Receiverº must be installed for this feature to function.  The mouse receiver can be connected
to either a serial port (Figure 3-8) or mouse port (Figure 3-9) on your computer.  For either serial port
(Figure 3-10) or mouse port (Figure 3-11) connections, the computer mouse can be hooked into the loop
allowing both the computer mouse and MP8020 mouse buttons to function.  Always remember to power down
your computer before making any cable connections.
Note
Serial computer mice with a large power requirement (20 mA or greater) may not be compatibile.

3-2. Projector Set Up
The meeting room is your operating environment and any stray light hitting the projection screen will become
glare. It is best to use a meeting room without wide-open windows. If there are ªlight stripesº from venetian
blinds, try to find a viewing area thats away from them ± and remember, the light stripes will move as the
hour changes.
Ambient Light
Whenever you have a choice, light the room from the rear, away from the projection screen. The MP8020 has
a brightness adjustment to achieve the best image possible.
Distance to Viewing Screen
The MP8020 can be used in a small or large meeting room to project a quality image from 46 cm (18 inches)
to 762 cm (300 inches) in size. The distance between the projector and the viewing screen (see ªaº in
Figure 3-15) and the zoom lense setting (minimum to maxium) will determine the size of the projected image.
Refer to the table in Section 9-2 to determine how far away from the viewing screen you need to place the
projector to fill the screen with the projected image.
Remember that increasing the projector-to-screen distance also decreases the images brightness dramatically.
In other words, as the image grows larger, it also grows dimmer.
For best results, experiment to find the right combination of projector-to-screen distance and room lighting.
Ceiling Mount Considerations
An optional ceiling mount bracket (Figure 3-12) is required to install the MP8020 from the ceiling.  For this
type of installation, the image must be inverted.  Refer to section 4-4 Inverting the Image for more details.

Rear Projection
A semi-transparent screen (Figure 3-13) can be used to project an image and view it from the backside of the
viewing screen.  For this type of installation, the image must be inverted.  Refer to section 4-4 Inverting the
Image for more details.
