5 Introduction Congratulations and thank you for your excellent choice of a superior digital image projection device. Your new Knoll HD102 projector is specifically designed for home cinema applications. The HD102 sets a high standard using the latest DLP™ technology and new DCDi Plus video processing from Faroudja™. Whether you are watching movies or High Definition broadcasts or playing the latest video game, you will enjoy amazing image quality. Product specifications To read the latest specifications on your multimedia projector, be sure to visit our website, as specifications are subject to change. Visit www.knollsystems.com for more information. Accessories The standard accessories that came with your projector can be found on the included packing list. Optional accessories are listed in the Accessories catalog that came with the projector and can also found on our website. See the inside back cover for the web address. Connector Panel The projector provides both computer and video connection options, including: • DVI (M1-DA) • Component SD/ED/HD (RCA) • S-video • Composite audio/video (RCA) The projector also provides the following connectors: • Audio out • 12-volt DC output (see next page)
6 12-volt DC output The 3.5mm mini-jack trigger provides a 12-volt DC output. It provides a constant output while the projector is on. It has numerous uses. For example, if you connect your projection screen to the 12-volt DC output with the cable that came with your screen, 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. To use the 12-volt DC output, you must first remove the safety plug. Positioning the projector To determine where to position the projector, consider 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: • Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.49m) from the projection screen. • Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object. • To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 24. We recommend using an authorized ceiling mount. • Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image. The top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected Image Size” on page 27. • The image offset is 127.3% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 2.73’ above the center of the lens. • See “Connecting a video device” on page 11 for additional information on 16:9 mode. Projector and Device Connector Guide The following illustration and table should help you find the connectors to use and obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources, TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players. Computer connections Computer connections involve attaching the VGA and USB ends of the provided computer cable to a computer and connecting the other end (M1 cable end) to the Computer In input on the projector. The USB part of the computer cable allows you to advance slides in a PowerPoint™ presentation via a remote control. See page 6 for computer/projector setup information.
7 Video connections The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest, is: 1. component video (RCA) 2. S-video 3. audio/visual composite video (RCA) If your video device has a VGA connector, you can use the DVI connector on the back of the projector for very high quality.

9 Displaying a computer source image Remove the lens cap. Toggle the Power switch on the side of the projector to the On position. The LED flashes green and the fans start to run. When the lamp comes on, the start up screen displays and the LED is steady green. It can take a minute for the image to achieve full brightness. ? No start up screen? Get help on page 15. Turn on your computer. The computer’s image should appear on the projection screen. If it doesn’t, press the Computer button on the projector’s keypad. If your computer has Windows 98 as its operating system, see “Using the projector with Windows 98 for the first time” on page 10, regarding the driver setup process. Make sure your laptop’s external video port is active. Many laptops do not automatically turn on their external video port when a projector is connected. Usually a key combination like FN + F8 or CRT/LCD key turns the external\ display on and off. 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 keypad Auto Image button. Get help on page 15. Adjusting the image If necessary, adjust the height of the projector by pressing the 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 in front of the projector. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen at a 90-degree angle to the screen. See page 27 for a table listing screen sizes and distances. Adjust the zoom or focus. If the image is not square, adjust the keystone using the buttons on the keypad. (continued next page)
10 Press the top Keystone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the bottom Keystone button to reduce the lower part. Adjust the Contrast or Brightness in the Picture menu. See page 21 for help with these menu adjustments. Using the projector with Windows 98 for the first time The first time you connect a computer running Windows 98 to the projector, the computer recognizes the projector as “new hardware” and the Add New Hardware Wizard appears.
