Important Operating Considerations for Safety
 Place the projector in a horizontal position with no greater than 8 
degrees forward or backwards tilt.
 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. The minimum distance 
between the ceiling and a ceiling-mounted projector is 11.8”/30cm.
 Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended. 
 Refer to this manual for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
 In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edible items 
placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area along all 
sides of the projector. Wash hands after cleaning the area and handling 
the ruptured lamp. This product has a lamp which contains a very 
small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or fed-
eral ordinances and regulations. For more information see 
www.eiae.org
.
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 section at 
the end of this users guide.

							5 Connector Panel
The projector provides two computer and four video connectors: 
 one M1-D/A (HD, DVI, and computer)
 one VESA (HD, HD component, and computer)
 one S-video
one composite RCA
one component video
It also has an RS-232 serial connector for serial control. The Command Line 
Interface (CLI) specifications and commands are on our website.
A 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides 12 volt current. This provides a con-
stant output while the projector is on. For example, if you connect your pro-
jection screen to the trigger, 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.
You must turn the trigger on in the System menu, see page 28.Connector panel

Positioning the projectorThere are a number of factors to consider when determining where to set up 
the projector, including 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 general guidelines.1
Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen.
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source. To 
ensure adequate cable access, place the projector at least 6 inches 
(0.15m) from a wall or other objects. Place the projector at least 5.6 feet 
(1.7 m) from the projection screen.
If you install 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 page 28. InFocus recommends use of an 
authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold sepa-
rately.
2
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom set-
ting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. 
For more information about projected image sizes, see page 36.
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 105%. 
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will 
be 0.5’ above the center of the lens. 
Go to www.infocushome.com/support for a complete image size calcula-
tor.

Video connectionsYou can connect VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video 
games, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. (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.) If there 
is more than one output, select the highest quality one. DVI, Component 
video and RGB (M1, HD15) have the best quality, followed by S-video, and 
then composite video
. 
NOTE: If you want to use RGB video, see page 8.

Connecting a video device If your video device has more than one output, select the highest quality 
one. DVI video has the best quality, followed by Component video, S-video, 
and then composite video. 
If the video device uses component cable connectors, plug the cable’s green 
connectors into the green component-out connector on the video device and 
into the green component connector (labeled “Y” Component 3) on the 
projector. Plug the component cable’s blue connectors into the blue compo-
nent-out connector on the video device and into the blue component con-
nector (labeled “Pb”) on the projector. Plug the component cable’s red 
connectors into the red component-out connector on the video device and 
into the red component connector (labeled “Pr”) on the projector. If you are 
using RGB input, plug the additional connector into the Video 5 connector 
and turn on the RGB Video option in the Sources menu. See page 28. 
If the video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug the 
S-video cable into the S-video connector on the video device and into the S-
Video 4 connector on the projector. Connect the red and white audio con-
nectors from the A/V cable to your source and Audio In connector on the 
projector, if desired. If the video device uses a yellow composite video con-
nector, plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector 
on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video 
5 connector on the projector. Connect the red and white audio connectors 
from the A/V cable to your source and the projector.
If the video device uses a DVI connector, plug the computer cable into the 
video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the 
DV I  2  connector on the projector. 
If the video device uses a VESA connector, plug a VESA cable into the 
video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the 
VESA 1 connector on the projector. Connecting the power cableConnect the power cable to the connector on the back of the projector and to 
your electrical outlet. The Power button on the keypad lights up and the 
LED on the keypad turns solid green. 
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.
