Important Operating Considerations
 Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees 
off axis. See “Positioning the projector” on page 6.
 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.
 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 
federal 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 eight discreet video connectors: 
 two red-green-blue RCA (SD/ED/HD component)
two S-video
one composite RCA
 one M1-DA (HD, RGBHV, HD component, DVI, and computer)
 one VESA (HD, RGBHV, HD component, and computer)
 one D5 (SD/ED/HD component, RGB SCART)
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 37.
Two 3.5mm mini-jack triggers provide 12 volt current. Trigger 1 provides a 
constant output while the projector is on. For example, 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 five 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 35.

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 29. 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 34.
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 116%. 
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will 
be 1.6’ 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 35 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 30). 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 34 for a table listing screen projected image 
sizes and distances to the screen.
