Usage Guidelines
 Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector  
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
 Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow 
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must 
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.
  Handle the projector as you would any product with glass 
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
  Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold 
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach 
room temperature before use.
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. 
If You Need Assistance 
The first place to look for help is in this manual. Be sure to check

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR1 Place the projector on a flat surface.
The projector must be within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your power  
source and your computer.
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set  
up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear” on page 25  
to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the 
installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for 
more information. To turn the image upside down, see  
“Ce

2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
NOTE:
 The projector must be at 
least 3.6 feet (1 m) from the pro- 
jection screen.

If the image is too big or too small, use the zoom ring to  
adjust the size or move the projector forward or backward.  
Figure 4 shows three projected image sizes. For more infor- 
mation about image size, see “Projected Image Size” on

Connecting a Computer
NOTE: Many laptop computers 
do not automatically turn on their 
external video port when a sec-
ondary display device such as a 
projector is connected. Refer to 
your computer manual for the 
command that activates the exter-
nal video port. Activation com-
mands for some laptop computers 
are listed in the Appendix of this 
manual on page 42 and in the 
Service section of our website.
1Plug one end of the computer cable into the blue “Computer 
VGA”
 connector on the projector.
2Plug the other end of the computer cable into the monitor con-
nector on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, 
you need to disconnect your monitor cable from your com-
puter.
FIGURE 6

nector on the projector.

Setting up the Projector
Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s 
remote?
If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.
1Plug the green end of the PS/2 mouse cable into the mouse 
connector on your computer. 
2Plug the black end of the PS/2 mouse cable into the 
“PS2/RS-232” connector on the projector.
If your computer has a USB connector and is running Windows 98, 
use the USB mouse cable.
NOTE: The USB mouse is
supported for use with
Windows 98 or higher only.
1Plug the flat end of the USB mouse cable into the mouse con-
nector on your computer. 
2Plug the square end of the USB mouse cable into the “USB” 
connector on the projector.
You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your 
computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the 
appropriate drivers. 
NOTE: You do not need to restart
your computer after connecting a
USB mouse to use it (it is hot-
pluggable). You must restart your
computer after plugging in a PS-2
mouse.
Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer. 
Skip to “Powering up the Projector” on page 13.

Connecting a Video Player
If your video device (VCR, DVD player, video camera) uses a 
round, one-prong composite video connector, use the composite 
audio/video (A/V) cable provided. The end with 2 connectors 
attaches to the projector, the other end attaches to the video 
device.
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video con-
nector, use an S-video cable. S-video generates a higher 
quality image.
1Plug the A/V cable’s round yellow connector into the “video-
out” connector on your video device (Figure 7). This connec-
tor may be labeled “To Monitor.”
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect the round black 
connector to the “S-video out” connector on the video 
device.
2Plug the other yellow connector into the “Video” connector on 
the projector.
If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into 
the “S-Video” connector on the projector.

tor into the right “audio out” connector on the video device.
4Plug the blue end of the A/V cable into the “Audio in” con-
nector on the projector.
CAUTION: Your video player
may also have a “Video Out”

connection. DO NOT use this to
connect to the projector.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video 
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and 
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for 
the incoming video.
