 Multimedia Projector MP8660
Safeguards
INTENDED USE
Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly.  The 3M
 Multimedia
Projector MP8660 was designed, built and tested for use indoors, using 3M
 brand lamps and
nominal local voltages.  The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation or different
voltages has not been tested and could damage the projector or peripheral equipment and/or
create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
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 service technician.
!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. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.
10. 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.
11. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
12. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.
!13. This unit is equipped with optical lenses and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
14. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.
15. Always remove the lens cap when the projection lamp is on.
16. The projection lamp contains mercury.  Always dispose of it in a proper manner according to
local regulations.

S-Video Connection
Some video devices can generate S-VHS video, or
S-Video (Y/C). The MP8660 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 3-8). 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 MP8660. Remember to connect the
audio cables for sound output.  S-video input signals
have priority over RCA jack input.Four-Pin ConnectorS-VHS Cable
Figure 3-8. 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 (yellow) connector into the video output jack
of your video source device.  Connect the other end
into the MP8660 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 3-9) to the input source.
Connect the other end to the AUDIO-L and
AUDIO-R terminals on the MP8660.

If you are giving a multimedia presentation with stereo sound, you may want to consider connecting the
MP8660 audio-out L/R jacks to a  high-quality stereo system.  When external speakers are connected, the
internal speakers are disabled.
Mouse Interface Cable Connection
The MP8660 remote control transmitter can be used to control the mouse button functions on your personal
computer or Apple Macintosh type computer.  This connection requires the serial mouse cable and for PS/2 or
MAC computers, a special cable adapter.
