Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite 
Video output sockets available: 
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the 
device.
To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output 
socket of the Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the 
projector.
3. If you wish to make use the projector (mixed mono) speaker, take a suitable 
audio cable and connect one end of the cable to the audio output sockets of 
the video device, and the other end to the AUDIO socket of the projector.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen 
Display (OSD) menus. See Audio Settings on page 48 for details.
The final connection path should be like that shown in the following diagram:
• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is 
connected. See Connecting audio on page 16 for details.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct 
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and 
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
• You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if Component 
Video and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See Connecting Video source devices 
on page 16 for details.

Securing the projector
Using a security cable lock
The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent theft. Otherwise, 
purchase a lock, such as the Kensington lock, to secure the projector. You can 
locate a Kensington lock slot on the rear side of the projector. See item 10 on page 
5 for details.
A Kensington security cable lock is usually a combination of key(s) and the lock. 
Refer to the lock’s documentation for finding out how to use it.
Removing the control keypad on the projector
The control keypad on the projector is 
detachable. Once the keypad is removed from 
the projector, it is not possible to operate it 
without the control keypad or remote control. We

remote control far from the projector in case they 
are taken together with it.
To remove the control keypad:
1. Locate the screw locations on the lower 
corner of the control keypad.
2. Completely loosen the screws.
3. Lift the control keypad by pulling the 
screws.

projector.
5. After removing the control keypad from the 
projector, you can use the keypad plug 
supplied to cover the keypad socket if 
necessary.

Switching input signal
The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it 
can only display one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector 
automatically searches for the available signals.
Be sure the Quick Auto Search function in the SOURCE menu is On (which is the 
default of this projector) if you want the projector to automatically search for the 
signals.
You can also manually cycle through the 
available input sources.
1. Press SOURCE on the projector or remote 
control. A source selection bar displays. 
2. Press / until your desired signal is 
selected and press Mode/Enter.
Once detected, the selected source 
information will display on the screen for 
seconds. If there is multiple equipment 
connected to the projector, repeat steps 1-2 
to search for another signal.
• The brightness level of the projected image will 
change accordingly when you switch between 
different input signals. Data (graphic) PC 
presentations using mostly static images are 
generally brighter than Video using mostly 
moving images (movies).
The input signal type effects the options available 
for the Picture Mode. See Selecting a picture 
mode on page 33 for details.
• The native display resolution of this projector is in a 
4:3 aspect ratio. For best display picture results, 
you should select and use an input source which 
outputs at this resolution. Any other resolutions will 
be scaled by the projector depending upon the 
aspect ratio setting, which may cause some image 
distortion or loss of picture clarity. See Selecting 
the aspect ratio on page 32 for details.
• If the frequency/resolution of the input signal 
exceeds the projectors operating range, you will 
see the message Out of Range displayed on a 
blank screen. Please change to an input signal 
which is compatible with the projectors resolution 
or set the input signal to a lower setting. See 
Timing chart on page 59 for details.

Adjusting the projected image
Adjusting the projection angle
The projector is equipped with 1 quick-release adjuster foot and 1 rear adjuster 
foot. These adjusters change the image height and projection angle. To adjust the 
projector:
1. Press the quick-release button and lift the 
front of the projector. Once the image is 
positioned where you want it, release the 
quick-release button to lock the foot in 
position.
2. Screw the rear adjuster foot to fine tune the 
horizontal angle.
To retract the foot, hold up the projector while 
pressing the quick-release button, then slowly 
lower the projector. Screw the rear adjuster foot 
in a reverse direction.
If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or 
the screen and the projector are not 
perpendicular to each other, the projected image 
becomes trapezoidal. To correct this situation, 
see Correcting keystone on page 30 for details.
Auto-adjusting the image
In some cases, you may need to optimize the 
picture quality. To do this, press AUTO on the 
projector or remote control. Within 3 seconds, 
the built-in Intelligent Auto Adjustment function 
will re-adjust the values of Frequency and Clock 
to provide the best picture quality. 
The current source information will be displayed 
in the corner of the screen for 3 seconds. 
The screen will be blank while AUTO is functioning.
Fine-tuning the image clarity
If needed, sharpen the picture by rotating the 
focus ring.
WARNING
• Do not look into the lens while 
the lamp is on. The strong light 
from the lamp may cause 
damage to your eyes.
• Be careful when you press the 
adjuster button as it is close to 
the exhaust vent where hot air 
comes from. 
						

							Operation 30
Correcting keystone
Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at 
either the top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the 
screen. 
To correct this, besides adjusting the height of the projector, you will need to 
manually correct it following ONE of these steps.
• Press  /  on the projector or remote 
control to display the Keystone correction 
page. Press   to correct keystoning at the 
top of the image. Press   to correct 
keystoning at the bottom of the image.
• Press Menu/Exit on the projector or remote 
control. Go to the 
DISPLAY > Keystone and 
adjust the values by pressing   or   on 
the projector or remote control.
