Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documentation to learn your laptop’s key combination. ? No laptop image? Try pressing the Auto Image button on the keypad. Get help on page 15. ?

11 Adjusting the image If necessary, adjust the height of the projector by pressing the elevator foot release button to extend the foot. If necessary, rotate the leveling foot located at the rear of the projector. Avoid placing your hands near the hot exhaust vent at the side of the projector. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen at a 90 degree angle to the screen. See page 5 for a table listing screen sizes and distances. Adjust the zoom or focus. If the image is not square, first make sure that the projector is perpendicular to the screen. If the image is larger or smaller on the top or bottom edge of the screen, press the top Keystone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the bottom Keystone button to reduce the lower part. If the left or right side of the screen is larger or smaller the other, you can turn the projector to the left or to the right a few degrees to square the image. Adjust the Contrast or Brightness in the Basic Picture menu. See page 28 for help with these menu adjustments. For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players must be configured for 16:9 in order to view the highest quality image. For more information regarding Aspect Ratio, see page 12. adjust height release button elevator foot adjust distance adjust zoom or focus zoom (rear ring)focus (front ring) adjust keystone adjust Basic Picture menu
12 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 Picture Menu. See page 28 for more information. What is Aspect Ratio? Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don’t have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. 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 or 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 either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for direct pixel mapping) 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. 4:3 screen 4:3 screen Do Not Use4:3 mode 16:9 mode Native mode (NTSC only)
13 Video device connections No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or provide your own. 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 3 connector on the projector. Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into the Audio In Video connector on the projector. Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S-video. HDMI 1.3 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. To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3- compatible source. S-video connection If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S- video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the Video 2 connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above. Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite. VESA 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 the Computer 3 or Computer 2 connector on the projector. Component video connection If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VESA 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 3 or Computer 2 connector. Component offers the highest quality video output.
14 Shutting down the projector The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen Save Time You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by turning on the Screen Save Time feature in the Setup menu. See page 30. 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 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. 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 LED blinks amber for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights amber and the fans stop.
