Important Operating Considerations for Safety
Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off 
axis.
 Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions to 
intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other 
soft covering that may block the vents.  Locate the projector at least 4 (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling 
vents. Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts. Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is recom
-
mended.
 Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures. Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local dis
-
posal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
 In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projec
-
tor side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people, food, and 
drinks out of the keep out area under and around the projector, as indicated 
by the X areas below.
Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of 
the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For 
complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty booklet.

Connector PanelRemove the cable cover, if attached, to access the connector panel. Replace the 
cover after the projector is installed, if desired.The projector provides the following connection options:  M1-DA/DVI (Digital Visual Interface)  HDMI™ (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Component (RCA)S-video Composite video (RCA)See 
“Video connectors” on page
 7 for details.
 
The projector also provides the following connectors: RS-232 for serial control  Two 12 volt DC outputs (see below) IR input for connection to Niles/Xantech compatible IR repeater systems  12 volt DC outputsThe 3.5mm mini-jack triggers provide a 12 volt, 0.25 amp DC output. They provide 
a constant output while the projector is on. They are typically used for screen con
-
trol. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the vertical screen trig
-
ger with the cable that came with your screen, when you turn on the projector the 
screen will move down; when you turn the projector off, the screen will return to 
the storage position. The horizontal screen trigger output can be used to control 
curtains or an adjustable aspect ratio screen.

Positioning the projectorTo determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your 
screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector 
and the rest of your equipment. Here are some guidelines: Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The pro
-
jector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.
 For safety reasons, position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power 
source (running extension cables may introduce a trip hazard). To ensure ade
-
quate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall 
or other object.
 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 “Ceiling” on 
page
 24. We recommend using an InFo
-
cus authorized ceiling mount.
 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance 
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video 
format determine the size of the projected image.  The image offset is 136%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the 
bottom of the image will be 3.6’ above the center of the lens. 
NOTE: Visit the Service section of our website at www.infocus.com/calculator for 
an interactive image size calculator.

Choosing the aspect ratioAspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. HDTV and most 
DVDs are 16:9, which is the default for this projector. When in 4:3 mode the pro
-
jector places black bars on both sides of the image. Native mode centers the image 
and turns off the internal scaler so that any resolution larger than the native pro
-
jector resolution is cropped on the edges. Letterbox expands the image to fill the 
screen.What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. For 
example, most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a 16:9 
screen, then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies and 
HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 
for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using 4:3, Native, 
or Natural Wide for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only 
appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television. Natural 
Wide stretches a 4:3 image to fill the entire 16:9 screen. The center two-thirds of 
the image is unchanged; the edges of the image are stretched.NOTE: If you purchase an optional anamorphic lens, select the Letterbox option to 
achieve the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.

Connecting a video deviceYou can connect video devices such as HDTV receivers, HD-DVD players, VCRs, 
camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, and TV tuners to the projector. 
Connect the audio from your video device to your stereo system to get sound.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.Video connectorsThe first step for connecting video is determining what type of output connectors 
your video device has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the 
highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest, is:1
HDMI or M1-DA/DVI (both are digital inputs)
2
component RGB video (RCAs)
3
S-video 
4
composite video (RCA)
If your device has a VGA connector, you can use an optional M1-DA/DVI connec
-
tor for a high quality image. You can use the included M1-DA to HDMI adapter to 
connect a second HDMI source.For detailed information on supported video formats, see 
page
 30.
Digital connectionsThe M1-DA/DVI and HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connectors are 
digital and yield the highest quality image. It is common for these signals to be 
encrypted with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital-content protection). Your new pro
-
jector ships standard with decryption codes so you can enjoy these high quality, all 
digital images. This projector features the M1-DA connector, which has the following advantages: allows connection to a second DVI source allows connection to second component source allows connection to an analog computer source (VGA) has output pins that can power accessories.This is an HDTV (High Definition Television) monitor, meaning it has vertical scan
-

HDMI 1.3 connectionHDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI pro
-
vides 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.To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-compati
-
ble source.Note that the projector has no audio capabilities, so audio signals transferred 
through HDMI will not be audible.DVI connectionIf your video device uses a DVI connector, plug the DVI end of an M1-DA cable 
into the video-out connector on the video device. This connector may be labeled 
“To Monitor” on the video device. Plug the M1-DA end of the cable into the M1-
DA/DVI connector on the projector. Component (RCA) connectionIf your device uses component connectors, plug a component video cable with red, 
green, and blue RCA connectors into the source device’s component connectors 
and the Component connectors on the projector.S-video connectionIf your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug the 
 
S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the S-
video connector on the projector. Composite (RCA) video connectionPlug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector 
on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Composite 
connector on the projector. 
Computer connectionsYou can connect a computer’s VGA connector to the M1-DA/DVI input on the 
projector using an M1-A cable.RS-232 connectionsYou can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by con
-
necting an RS-232 cable to the projector’s Serial control connector. Specific RS-
232 commands can be found in the Service section of our website at www.info
