Christie DS+5K/5Kc/8K, HD5K/5Kc/8K/8Kc, 
Mirage S+2K/4K/8K, DW3K/3Kc/6K/6Kc, Matrix 
S+2K/4000/HD4K, DLV1400-DX and DLV1920-
DX are all professional 3-chip projectors based on 
next-generation Digital Light Processing™ 
(DLP™) technology by Texas Instruments™ to 
deliver high quality, crisp, clean images.  
Mirage S+2K/4K/8K projectors provide a powerful 
combination of SXGA+ or HD resolution (model 
dependant), high brightness and high contrast ratios 
to produce flawless, realistic three-dimensional graphic images for simulation, virtual 
reality and other stereographic related applications.  
The DW3K/3Kc and DW6K/6Kc provide exceptional image quality in a native 
widescreen format, HD2 resolution and superior color accuracy.  
Additional reliable and compact projectors are the Matrix S+2K, 4000 and HD4K. 
With their purpose built simulation features such as RGB color matching, and gamma 
controls, it can be used to simulate any application. 
The DLV1400-DX and DLV1920-DX are designed for the demands of 24/7 control 
room applications and provide long-term reliability and performance.

Refer to Section 6 for a complete list of Specifications including Brightness and 
Contrast and Optional Input Modules 
The projector accepts data/graphics and video input signals for projection onto front 
or rear flat screens. High brightness light is generated by an internal Xenon lamp then 
modulated by three Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) panels that provide digitized 
red, green or blue color information. Light from the “on” pixels of each panel is 
reflected, converged and then projected to the screen through a single front lens, 
where all pixels are perfectly superimposed as a sharp full-color image (2D or 3D for 
Mirage models only). 
 
The following listed items are shipped with your projector. Ensure you have received 
all these items before using your projector. 
• User’s Manual  
• IR remote keypad (includes two, 1.5V AA batteries and a mini-stereo cable for 
conversion to wired) 
• Line cord  
• Stereo 3D Cable (Mirage only) 
• Warranty Card

Installation & Setup  
 
013-100199-04  2-1 
 
The instructions provided here are for those that are familiar with the projector and 
wish to quickly set it up and use it temporarily. Refer to the remaining subsections of 
this manual for a more complete setup. 
Install a Projection Lens  
The projection lens is shipped separately from the projector and must be installed 
prior to setting up the projector. Install the projection lens as described in 4.5 
Replacing the Projection Lens. 
 Remove the lens plug from the lens opening in the projector before installing 
the lens.  
 Remove the lens when shipping the projector and reuse the lens plug to 
prevent dust and debris from entering and settling on the projector’s optical 
components. 
Position the Projector 
Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface and position it so that it is perpendicular 
to the screen at a suitable distance. In general, the further back the projector is 
positioned from the screen, the larger the image will be.  
If required, you can level the projector by adjusting its three feet. With the projector 
positioned perpendicular to the screen the image will appear rectangular instead of 
keystoned.  
For more detailed instructions on positioning the projector refer to Projector Position 
and Mounting later in this section. 
Connect a Source 
Located at the back of the projector is the input panel where all source connections are 
made. Each input is clearly labeled for easy identification.  
Using the appropriate cable(s), connect your source. Connect RGB and YPbPr sources 
to 
INPUT 1 located in the upper right corner of the input panel. Use the DVI-I 
connector at 
INPUT 2 to connect analog or digital display signals. Connect composite 
video to 
INPUT 3 and S-video to INPUT 4.  
NOTE: One of the available optional input modules can be installed at 
INPUT 5 or 
INPUT 6
 for additional connections. 
Refer to 2.3 Connecting Sources for more details on connecting a specific source.

Connect the Line Cord 
 The North American-rated line cord is provided with each projector. Ensure 
that you are using a line cord, socket and power plug that meets the 
appropriate local rating standards.
 
Plug the line cord to the AC receptacle located on the right hand side of the projector 
and the three-pronged end into a grounded AC outlet. Ensure the socket outlet is 
installed near the equipment and is easily accessible. The input voltage to the 
projector must be capable of 100 – 240 VAC in 500W and 1000W models and 200-
240 VAC in 1200W models. (See also Section 6 – Specifications for complete details 
on all power requirements.) 
Use the approved North American-rated line cord supplied with the projector.  If you 
are connecting to an area outside of North America ensure an appropriately rated line 
cord is used. 
Turn the Projector ON 
Press the 
 POWER button on either the remote or built-in keypad to turn the 
projector on. Wait a few minutes to allow the projector to warm up. The LED status 
window displays an active pattern of segments to indicate the projector is changing its 
state from powered down to powered up. The message “On” appears in the display 
when the projector has completed its initialization and is ready for use. 
Select a Source 
Press one of the input keys on the remote or built-in keypad to select and display the 
image for the source you connected in Step 3.  
Adjust Image 
Adjust the more common image settings, such as Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, 
Focus, Zoom etc. using the direct keys on the IR remote.  
 
You can also access the menu system and adjust these and other image settings by 
pressing 
Menu on the remote.  Ste
