13 Connecting a Video Player There are 3 video inputs: Composite video, S-video, and Compo- nent video. For Composite and S-video, follow these instructions: 1If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with the projector. If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con- nector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the A/V cable. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional Accessories” on page 50.) NOTE: HDTV sources are con- nected to the projector using the computer inputs, not the video inputs. All analog computer inputs can display HDTV. See the previ- ous pages for computer connection instructions. 2Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” connector on your video player (Figure 11). This connector may be labeled “To Monitor.” If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video out” connector on the video player (Figure 12). 3Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con- nector on the projector. If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into the “S-video” connector on the projector (Figure 12).

Plug the cable’s red connector into the right “audio out” connector on the video player (Fig- ure 11 and Figure 12). 5Plug the A/V cable’s other white and red connectors to the left and right In ports on the projector. CAUTION: Your video player may also have a “Video Out” connector for a coaxial cable 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. The input signal for SECAM video is similar to other video signals and cannot be automatically detected, therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. See “Video Stan- dard” on page 35 for details. Connecting a Video Player using BNC Cables Connect the BNC cables and audio cables to the appropriate con- nectors on the projector (Figure 8 on page 10) and on your video player. This input is designated Component Video. LL In outIn In L BNCBNC RR RA 0A 0R s R G G B B A/V cableS-video cable
15 Connecting External Speakers To connect one or two external speakers, plug the speaker cable into the out (audio out) connectors on the projector. The external speaker ’s volume is controlled by the projector; see “Vol- ume + or -” on page 26. FIGURE 13 Connecting external speakers Connecting the Remote Control Cable If the projector cannot receive the remote’s signal, as may be the case if you’re using rear projection, connect the remote directly to the projector with the optional remote cable. See “Optional Accessories” on page 50. NOTE: For more information on using the remote, see page 22. 1Plug the remote cable into the wired remote connector on the projector. 2Plug the other end into the connector on the remote.

16 Setting up the Projector Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector. 1Remove the lens cap. 2Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended. The Power LED on the top of the projector (Figure 20 on page 24) lights green. 3Press the power button. NOTE: The first time you connect your computer to the projector, the computer may display a message stating that new hardware was found. The Add New Hardware Wizard may appear. Use the Wizard to load the correct driver (the computer considers the projector a Plug and Play Monitor). The Power LED blinks green until the lamps turns on, then it lights solid green. The startup screen appears. 4If you connected a video player, turn it on. The video image should display on the projection screen. If a computer source is active, press the source button on the keypad (page 26) or the video button on the remote to dis- play your video image. You can select a default source to determine which source the projector examines first during power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 36. Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume. 5Turn on your computer. NOTE: With some computers, the order in which you power up the equipment is very important. Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order. The computer image should display on the projection screen. If a video source is active, press the source button on the keypad or the computer button on the remote to display your computer ’s image. Make sure your laptop’s external video port is activated; see “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 52 for details. If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro- jector ’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote, then select the Dis- play or Image menu. For more information about the menus, see page 27.
17 Turning Off the Projector If you want to blank the screen for a short period of time, press the standby button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see “Standby Time” on page 35 for details.) After the standby time, the projector shuts off. To exit standby mode, press the standby button again. NOTE: Lamp life will be extended if you turn the projector off, then wait 1 minute while the lamp cools before unplugging the projector. To completely power off the projector, press the Power button. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks orange while the fans con- tinue to run to cool the projector. After the projector is cooled, the projector turns off and the LED lights solid green.
19 USING THE PROJECTOR This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus. Basic Image Adjustment 1Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 16). 2If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image (page 20), adjust the height of the projector (page 20) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 34). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. 3If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 20). 4If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 32) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image off and adjust the sync (page 33) and/or the tracking (page 33) manually. 5If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 28).
20 Using the Projector Adjusting the Projector To focus the image, rotate the focus ring (Figure 15) until the image is clear. To zoom the image, rotate the zoom ring. This adjusts the image size without affecting focus. FIGURE 15 Focus ring and zoom ring The projector is equipped with a projection angle lens shift knob that provides adjustment from horizontal. This allows you to adjust the projection height without moving the projector (see page 8 for lens shift values). It also has a height-adjustment foot, an elevator button, and a leveling knob.
