Digital Projection   MERCURY 5000gv 
This chapter describes how to set up your projector and how to connect v\
ideo and audio sources. 
 Setting Up Your Projector 
Your Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first: 
1.  Determine the image size	 4.  Connect the supplied power cable. 
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you	5.  Set up the projector. can project your image. 6. Connect a PC, VCR, DVD player, or other equipment. 3. Install the optional lens to the projector.	7. Make settings or adjustments on the projector. 
Screen Size and Projection Distance 
Examples of Screen Sizes (in XGA format) 
Height Screen size (Diagonal) 
Formulas: Screen width W  (m)= Screen size x 4/5 x 0.0254 Width Screen height H (m)= Screen size x 3/5 x 0.0254 
Screen width W (inch)= Screen size x 4/5 
Screen height H (inch)= Screen size x 3/5

For screen sizes between 60" and 400" not indicated on the tables, use t\
he formula below: 
Throw Distance (distance from front of casing to screen) = [Screen Wid\
th (W)  x  Throw Ratio (magnification)] +/- [ extension] (where [extension] = distance between front of casing and end of lens)\

Example: Throw Distance for 2.5m wide screen using zoom lens 001-736 set\
 to 1.6 : 1

Throw Distance	 = 2.5m  x  1.6  = 4m +/- extension 
= 98” x 1.6  = 157” +/- extension

Optional Lens Installation 
This section describes how to install the lens. 
Before installation *	Determine the optional lens to be used to obtain a desired projection di\
stance. There are six optional lenses available: 
0.8 : 1 fixedpart no. 001-734 
1.2 : 1 fixedpart no. 001-735 
1.5 - 1.8 : 1 zoom part  no.  001-736 
1.8 - 2.25 : 1 zoom part  no.  001-737 
2.25 - 3.0 : 1 zoom part  no.  001-738 
3.0 - 4.5 : 1 zoom part  no.  001-739 
4.5 - 7.0 zoompart  no.  001-740 
*	Press the power button (ON/STAND BY) on the projector or POWER OFF button on the remote control for \
a minimum of two seconds t o turn 
off the power, wait 90 seconds for the cooling fan to stop,  then disconnect the power cable. 
Check that the projector has cooled off sufficiently before proceeding. \
CAUTION * The projector and lens contain high-precision parts. Do not induce shoc\
k to the projector or the lens.
* Do not touch the lens surface. Doing so can degrade the optical perform\
ance.
Preparation: Tools needed for installation: A cross head screwdriver. 
NOTE: It is possble that the ‘Lens Shift’ feature (described on t\
he previous page and in Section 3. Projecting an Image) may have used to move the 
lens mount to the far right side, making installation difficult. If this\
 is the case, then turn the projector back on again and use the Position buttons to 
shift the lens back towards the mid-position. When this has been done, t\
urn the projector off as decribed above, before continu ing. 
1. Remove the rear lens cover, but leave the front cover on to protect the\
 lens surface during installation.
2. Insert the lens into the lens mount with the connector to the right, ta\
king care to line up the locating pin on the lens with the locating hole above 
the opening. Push the lens in firmly to engage the connector.

4 Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the proj\
ector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the
notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unles\
s the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be th\
e result of the computer's screen-saver or power management software.
* If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 9\
0 seconds and then press the POWER button again to resu me.
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal:
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI-D sig\
nal cable (not supplied) before
turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select DVI (DIGITAL) from the source menu before turning on
your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics car\
d resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this
happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running.\
 If the signal cable has been disconnected and then re-
connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, \
restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use the DVI-D cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group)\
 DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI-D cable
should be within 5 m (196") long.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768) and SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz).

Connecting an External Monitor
You can connect a separate, external monitor to your
projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the RGB analog
image you're projecting. To do so:
1. Turn off the power to your projector, monitor and computer.
2. Use a 15-pin cable to connect your monitor to the RGB OUT (Mini D-
Sub 15 pin) connector on your projector.
3. Turn on the projector, monitor and the computer.
NOTE:
• The RGB OUT connector outputs RGB signal during idle mode (See page 8-15). When the projector goes into idle mode, the image on an
external monitor disappears for a moment. Note that the RGB OUT
connector will not output RGB signal during Standby mode.
• When the projector is in the Idle mode, the image may not be correctly displayed while the cooling fans are running immediately
after turning on or off the power. Note that the RGB OUT connector
will not output RGB signal during Standby mode.
• Daisy chain connection is not possible.
