Adjusting the image
If necessary, adjust the height of the projector by rotating the elevator foot to 
extend the foot.
If necessary, rotate the leveling foot located at the rear of the projector.
Avoid placing your hands near the hot exhaust vent at the front of the projector.
Position the projector the desired distance  from the 
 screen at a 90 degree angle to 
the screen.
See page  6 for a table listing screen sizes and distances.
Adjust the zoom or focus.
If the image is not square, first make sure that the projector is perpendicular to the 
s
 creen. If the image is larger or smaller  on the top or bottom edge of the screen, 
press the top  Keystone button 
 to reduce the upper part of the image, and 
press the bottom  Keystone button 
 to reduce the lower part.
If the left or right side of the screen is larger or smaller the other, you can turn the 
proj
 ector to the left or to the right a few degrees to square the image.
Adjust the Contrast or Brightness in the Basic Menu. See page  26 for help with 
these menu adjustments.

Connecting a video device
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital 
cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. 
You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in 
speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio 
directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You 
cann
 ot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or 
satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners 
are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. 
Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want 
to 
 use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button 
on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See  page 26 for more 
information.
Video device connections
No video cables are provided with the  projector. You can order cables from 
InFocus or provide your own.
HDMI connection
HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all- digital audio/video interface. HDMI 
provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and 
receivers and your projector. Plug an HD MI cable into the video-out connector on 
the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.
NOTE: The IN112aT/IN114aT do not have an HDMI connector.
Composite video connection
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector 
on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow  Video 
connector on the projector.
NOTE: The IN112aT/IN114aT do not have a composite connector.
VGA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included 
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector 
may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into 
either the  Computer 1  or Computer 2  connector on the projector.
Component video connection
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to 
VGA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug 
the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into 
the Computer 1  or Computer 2  connector.
S-video connection
Plug the S-video cable’s connector into the video-out connector on the video 
device. Plug the other connector into the  S-Video connector on the projector.
NOTE: The IN112aT/IN114aT do not have an S-video connector.
Audio
For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the  Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on the 
projector and to your sour ce. If your source uses RCA audio connectors, a Y-
cable or adapter may be used. (Note: A separate audio connection is not required 
for HDMI source inputs.)

Shutting down the projector
Auto Off Time
The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the 
projector off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the 
projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can 
change the length of time, see page 30.
Turning off the projector
To turn the projector off, press the  Power button on the remote or keypad. The 
lamp turns off and the Power LED blinks blue for 30 seconds while the fans 
continue to run to cool the lamp. If the Power Saving Mode feature is on and when 
the lamp has cooled, the LED lights blue and the fans stop. If the Power Saving 
Mode feature is off and when the lamp has cooled, the LED blinks blue and the fans 
stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.
Troubleshooting your setup
If your image appears correctly on the screen , skip to the next section. If it does 
not, troubleshoot the setup. The Status Indicator Lights on top of the projector indicates the state of the 
proje
c

tor and can help you troubleshoot
.
