    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 
    cannot 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 24 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 HDMI cable into the video-out connector on 
    the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.
    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.
    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.
    Audio
    For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the Audio 1/Audio 2 connector on the 
    projector and to your source. 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 20 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can 
    change the length of time, see 
    page 27.
    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 amber 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 amber and the fans stop. If the Power Saving 
    Mode feature is off and when the lamp has cooled, the LED blinks green 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 indicate the operational state of 
    the projector and can help you with troubleshooting.

    batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.
    Caution: 
    • When replacing the remote batteries, be aware that using batteries other 
    than AAA batteries may risk severe damage to the remote. When disposing 
    of the batteries, be sure to do so in an enviromentally proper manner.
    • If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
    • Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
    • Ensure the batteries polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly.
    • Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix different types of batteries 
    together.
    • Replace the batteries as soon as they run out.
    • Remove batteries from the remote control when storing or not in use for a 
    prolonged period.
    To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the computer). 
    The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).
    Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 8 for 
    shutdown info).

    Troubleshooting the remote
    • Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not 
    dead.

    computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For best results, 
    point the remote at the projector.
