Important Operating Considerations
Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may 
block the vents. Vents are placed along the left and right sides of the projec-
tor, as well as across the front of the projector.
 Do not use a non-approved 
ceiling mount. In the unlikely event of the lamp rupturing, discard any edi-
ble items placed in the surrounding area and thoroughly clean the area 
along the sides and in the front of the projector.

							4 Connector Panel
The projector provides eight discreet video connectors: 
two component RCA
two S-video
one composite RCA
 one M1-DA (HD, DVI, and computer)
 one VESA (HD, HD component, and computer)
one component D5
It also has a mini-jack input for a Niles or Xantech-compatible IR repeater 
and an RS-232 connector for serial control. The Command Line Interface 
(CLI) specifications and commands are listed in the Appendix starting on 
page 36.
Two 3.5 mm mini-jack triggers provide 12 volt current. Trigger 1 provides a 
constant output while the projector is on. If you connect your projection 
screen to Trigger 1, 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. Trigger 2 provides a 4:3 aspect trigger. When you select 4:3 in the 
Aspect Ratio menu or from the Resize button on the remote, a 12v signal 
will be sent after a three second delay. Use this trigger for screens with 4:3 
aspect curtains. When you switch back to 16:9 format, the curtains open to 
reveal the entire screen.
For details on each connector type and their inputs, see page 34.

Positioning the projectorThere are a number a 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 27. InFocus recommends use of an 
authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold sepa-
rately, see page 32.
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 33.
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 133%. 
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will 
be 3.3’ 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.) Audio 
must be provided by your own speakers, as the projector has no separate 
audio controls. If there is more than one output, select the highest quality 
one. DVI, Component video and RGB (M1, HD15) have the best quality, fol-
lowed by S-video, and then composite video
. 
For a complete list of compatible sources, see page 34 of the Appendix.

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”) on the projector. Plug the 
component cable’s blue connectors into the blue component-out connector 
on the video device and into the blue component connector (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 the video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an 
S-video cable into the S-video connector on the video device and into the S-
video connector on the projector. 
If the video device uses a yellow composite video connector, plug a compos-
ite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video 
device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video connector on 
the projector. 
If the video device uses a DVI connector, plug an M1-D cable into the video-
out connector on the video device. Plug the other connector into the M1-DA 
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 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 LED on the keypad turns solid green. 
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.

Displaying a video imageRemove the lens cap. 
Press the Pow e r button on the top of the projector.
The projector chimes if the chime feature is enabled (page 28). The LED 
flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the startup 
screen displays and the LED is steady green. It can take a minute for the 
image to achieve full brightness. 
? No startup screen? Get help on page 12.
Plug in and turn on the video device.
An image from the video device should appear on the projection screen. If it 
doesn’t, press the Source button on the keypad. 
Adjust the height of the projector by pressing the release button to extend 
the elevator foot. Rotate the leveling foot, if necessary. 
Position the projector the desired distance from the screen at a 90 degree 
angle to the screen. See page 33 for a table listing screen projected image 
sizes and distances to the screen.

Adjust the zoom or focus rings by rotating them until the desired image size 
and sharpness are produced.
If the image is not square, adjust the keystone using the buttons on the key-
pad. Press the upper Ke y s t o n e  button to reduce the width of the upper por-
tion of the image, and press the lower Ke y s t o n e  button to reduce the width 
of the lower portion.
The Contrast, Brightness, Color, andTint are factory calibrated to D65 col-
ors, but you can adjust these settings in the Picture menu if necessary.

Connecting a computerConnect either a VESA cable or M1 cable into the appropriate connector on 
the projector. Connect the other end to the video port on your computer. If 
you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor 
cable from the computer ’s video port. 
Connect the power cable to the connector on the back of the projector and to 
your electrical outlet.
The Power LED on the projector ’s keypad turns solid green.
NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector. 
Turn on the projector, then your computer.
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by 
connecting an RS-232 cable to the projector ’s Serial connector. Specific 
RS-232 commands can be found in the Appendix starting on page 37 and in 
the Service and Support section of our website at www.infocushome.com/
support.
