    INTRODUCTION
    The In Focus LP 425™ is specifically designed for the mobile pre-
    senter. It packs SVGA graphics with 16.7 million colors into a 
    small, 6.8 pound package. It generates crisp, clear images using 
    Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) technology. The LP 425 is easy 
    to connect, easy to use, and easy to maintain.
    NOTE: The 425 automatically 
    expands 640x480 images to 
    800x600. You can display these 
    images at 640x480 by turning off 
    the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto 
    Resize” on page 20 for more infor-
    mation.
    Image Resolution
    The SVGA resolution of the 425’s projected image is 800x600. 
    Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are com-
    pressed to 800x600. The 425 cannot compress screen resolutions 
    above 1024x768. If your computer ’s screen resolution is higher 
    than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect 
    the 425
    .
    Compatibility
    The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and 
    video devices, including:
    •IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1024x768 
    resolution.
    •Apple Macintosh and PowerBook computers up to 1024x768 
    resolution.
    •Most standard VCRs, camcorders and laser disc players.
    Unpacking the Projector
    NOTE: The 425 ships standard 
    with computer and audio cables. If 
    you want mouse control of your 
    computer, you must order the 
    optional CableWizard and remote.
    The projector comes with the items shown in Figure 1. Check to 
    make sure all are included. 
    Contact your In Focus dealer imme-
    diately if anything is missing.
    If you are experienced in setting up presentation systems, use the 
    LP 425 Quick Start card that was included in the shipping box. For 
    complete details on connecting and operating the projector, refer 
    to this User ’s Guide. User ’s Guides are also available for down-

    Usage Guidelines
     Do not look directly into the projection lens when the projector is 
    turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
     
    Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow can 
    cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must wait a minute 
    before attempting to turn it back on.
     Handle the projector as you would any product with glass compo-
    nents. Be especially careful not to drop it.
     Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold for 
    extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach room temper-
    ature before use.
     This projector is not intended for use in mainframe computer 
    rooms as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Com-
    puter/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
     Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case. 
    Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 35.

    SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR
    1Place the projector on a flat surface.
    •The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power 
    source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.
    •If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set 
    up the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” 
    on page 23 to reverse the image.
    2Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
    •The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen 
    determines the size of the projected image. Figure 3 shows 
    three projected image sizes. For more information about 
    image size, see “Projected Image Size” on page 43.
    3Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.
