10 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 27 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. HDBaseT This a Class C connection. Connect CAT5 or CAT6 cable into the output of a certified HDBASET . source and into the connector on the projector. LightCast Please refer to the LightCast manual on the InFocus support site: www.infocus.com/support 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.)
11 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 on. 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 amber for 70 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.

19 Using the remote control The remote uses two (2) AAA batteries (not provided). They are easily installed by removing the cover from the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the 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 24 feet (8m). Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see page 8 for shutdown info). Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and adjust values in the menus. See page 26 for more info on the menus. Troubleshooting the remote • Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not dead. • Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For best results, point the remote at the projector. Table 2: IconFeature Power on (white button): turns the projector power on. Information: displays source information.
