Using the menus 
 
To open the menus, 
press the Menu 
button on the keypad 
or remote. (The 
menus automatically 
close after 60 
seconds if no buttons 
are pressed.) The 
Main menu appears. 
Use the arrow buttons to move up and down to highlight the desired submenu, then press the Select button.  
 
To change a menu setting, highlight it, press Select, then use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the 
value, select an option using radio buttons, or turn the feature on or off using check boxes. Press Select to 
confirm your changes. Use the arrows to navigate to another setting. When your adjustments are complete, 
navigate to Previous or Exit, then press Select to go to the previous menu; press the Menu button at any 
time to close the menus. 
 
Dots appear before the menu name. The number of dots indicate menu levels, ranging from one (the Main 
menu) to four (the most nested 
menus). 
 
The menus are grouped by usage: 
 
• The Picture menu provides image 
adjustments. 
• The Settings menu provides set-up 
type adjustments that are not changed 
often. 
• The About menu provides a read-
only display of information about the projector and source. 
 
 
Certain menu items may not be visible or may be grayed 
depending upon a particular source being connected. For 
example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and 
is not visible when a computer source is active. Menu 
options are grayed out only if the source is selected but no 
signal is present. For example, if the projector is set to a 
video source but the source, such as a DVD player, is turned off video menu options are grayed out.

Picture menu 
 
To adjust the following settings, 
highlight the setting, press  
Select, use the up and down 
arrows to adjust the values, then 
press Select to confirm the 
changes. 
 
Keystone: adjusts the image 
vertically and makes a squarer 
image. You can also adjust 
keystone from the keypad. 
Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of the picture and 
changes the amount of black and white in the image. 
Brightness: changes the intensity of the image. 
Color: adjusts a video image from black and white to fully saturated color. The color setting applies to video 
sources only. 
Tint: adjusts the red-green color balance in the image of NTSC video images. The tint setting applies to 
NTSC video sources only. 
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. The projector’s default is 16:9. See “What is Aspect Ratio?” on page 11 for 
more information.  
 
Select Native to see the unmodified input with no 
resizing by the projector.  
 
Select 16:9 to watch enhanced widescreen DVDs. 
 
For more information regarding Aspect Ratio, see page 
11. 
 
Presets: Presets are provided 
that optimize the projector  
for displaying computer 
presentations, photographs, film  
images, and video images. Film 
input is material originally  
captured on a film camera, like 
a movie; video 
input is material originally 
captured on a video camera,  
like a TV show or sporting  
event. You can use the preset 
as a starting point, then further 
customize the settings for each source. The settings you customize are saved in the preset for each source. 
To restore the factory default settings, choose Factory Reset in the Settings>Service menu (page 24). 
 
There is also a user-definable preset. To set a preset for the current source, adjust the image, select Save 
User in the Presets menu, then select Yes. You can recall these settings in the future by selecting the User 
1 preset.  
 
Advanced menu 
Chroma Detail: This adjusts the color sharpness.  
Luma Detail: This adjusts the overall sharpness (edge 
enhancement) of the Luma signal. 
 
 
Noise Reduction: adjusts signal noise reduction.  
Choose Off to have no noise reduction, choose Auto 
to have the software determine the amount of noise 
reduction, or choose Manual and adjust the Level. 
  
						

							 23
CCS: (Cross-Color Suppression) processes the signal to remove any color information from the luma portion 
of the signal. It is On for all composite signals, and can be turned off for S-video and interlaced component 
signals. 
 
 
 
Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the 
clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness 
setting.     
 
 
 
Color Space: This option applies to computer  
and component video sources. It allows 
you to select a color space that has been  
specifically tuned for the input signal. When 
Auto is selected, the projector automatically 
determines the standard. To choose a different 
setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for 
computer sources, choose either REC709 or 
REC601 for component video sources. 
 
 
Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors.  
Select a value.  
 
 
Color Control: allows you to individually adjust the  
gain (relative warmth of the color) and the offset  
(the amount of black in the color) of the red, 
green, and blue colors.      
 
Video Standard: when it is set to Auto, the projector  
attempts to automatically pick the video standard based 
on the input signal it receives. (The video standard 
options may vary depending on your region of the 
world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct 
standard, the colors may not look right or the image may 
appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a video 
standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the 
Video Standard menu. 
 
Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around   
the video image. 
 
Sync Threshold Adjust: If a hardware device, such as a DVD player, is not syncing properly with the 
projector, select this option to help it to sync when connected to the projector. The following four (4) options 
are for computer sources only. 
 
Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source. 
Tracking: adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source. 
Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of a computer source. 
White Peaking: increases the brightness of whites that are near 100 percent. 
  
						

							 24
Settings menu 
 
Audio: allows adjustments to Volume of the internal speaker and allows a 
chime to play when starting the projector. 
Adjustments can also be made from the projector’s 
keypad and the remote. 
 
Sources: determines which source the projector 
checks first for active video during power-up. When 
Autosource is selected, the Source Enable 
feature indicates which sources the projector 
attempts to lock onto. You can use the Source 
Enable feature to eliminate certain sources from 
this search, which will speed the search. The source  
options are Computer for a computer, 
progressive DVD, or HDTV source, Video 1 for  
S-video connections, Video 2 for  
component video connections and 
Video 3 for composite video sources. 
By default, the check boxes for all 
sources are checked. Uncheck a 
source box to eliminate it from the 
search. When Autosource is not 
checked, the projector defaults to the 
source selected in Sources. To 
display another source, you must 
manually select one by pressing the Computer or Video button on the remote or keypad. 
 
System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind  
a translucent screen. Ceiling: turns the image upside down for 
ceiling-mounted projection. Low Power: toggles between on and 
Off. Turn it on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also  
lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter. Display 
Messages: displays status messages (such as “Searching” or 
“Mute”) in the lower-left corner of the screen. Screen Saver Off: 
prevents the screensaver on your computer from being activated if 
the USB portion of the M1 is plugged into the computer. This 
function was previously called NND. Power Save: automatically 
turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. 
After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector  
powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector 
powers down, the image will be displayed. After an additional 10 minutes with 
no signal, the projector powers down and can be toggled off. If an active signal 
is received before the projector powers down, the image will be 
displayed. 
 
Startup Logo: allows you to display a blank screen instead of the  
Default screen at startup, and when no source is detected.  
 
Blank Screen: determines what color is displayed when you press 
the Blank button on the remote. 
 
 
 
Language: allows you to select a language for the onscreen display.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
						

							 25
Service: To use these features, highlight them and press 
Select.  
 
Factory Reset: restores all settings to their default. 
Lamp Reset: resets the lamp hours used counter in the About 
menu to zero. Do this only after changing the lamp. 
 
 
Service Code: only used by authorized service personnel. 
About: provides information about the projector and the 
active source.  
 
Maintenance 
Cleaning the Lens 
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.  
• Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the 
cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other 
harsh chemicals might scratch the lens. 
 
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. 
Replace the lens cap immediately, if you don’t intend to use the projector. 
 
Replacing the Projection Lamp 
 
The lamp hours used timer in the 
About menu counts the number 
of hours the lamp has been in 
use. Twenty hours before the 
lamp life expires, the 
message “Change lamp” appears 
on the screen at startup. If the 
maximum lamp time is exceeded, 
the lamp will not light. In this 
case, after replacing the lamp 
you must reset the lamp hours by 
simultaneously pressing both 
Volume buttons on the keypad 
and holding them for 10 seconds. 
 
NOTE: You can order new lamp housings from your dealer or directly from Knoll. See the packing list for 
information. Use only a replacement lamp with the same type and rating as the original lamp, model  
SP-LAMP-021 or LP21. 
 
1 Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 
2 Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly. 
3 Turn the projector on its side 
so that the lamp door is facing 
you. Using a flat-blade 
screwdriver, gently pry the lamp 
door from the projector by 
placing the screwdriver blade 
into the space between the top 
of the lamp door and the 
projector. 
4 Loosen the two captive 
screws that attach the lamp 
housing to the projector. 
5 Detach the lamp connector from the projector by depressing the locking tab on the connector and lightly 
pulling it free. 
  
						

							 26
WARNING: 
 
To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 30 minutes before you replace the lamp. 
 
Do not drop the lamp housing or touch the glass bulb! The glass may shatter and cause injury. 
 
Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the bulb ruptures, small 
glass fragments may be generated. The lamp housing is designed to contain these fragments, but use 
caution when removing the lamp housing. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp compartment and 
dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. 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.  
 
6 Carefully remove the lamp housing. 
Dispose of the lamp in an 
environmentally proper manner. 
7 Install the new lamp housing and 
tighten the screws. 
8 Re-attach the lamp connector to the 
projector. The locking tab should 
engage when the connector is fully 
plugged in. 
9 Replace the lamp door. 
10 Plug in the power cord and toggle 
the Power switch to turn the projector 
back on. 
11 To reset the lamp hour timer, navigate to the 
Settings>Service menu  and select Lamp Reset. See 
page 24 for details. 
 
 
Cleaning the Lamp Housing Screens 
 
In dirty or dusty environments, the two dust filter screens in the lamp housing 
can become clogged, causing high 
temperatures and premature lamp  
failure. Routine maintenance to 
remove dust from the screens 
lowers the lamp operating 
temperature and prolongs lamp life. 
To maximize lamp life, you should 
clean the screen at least every 250 
hours depending upon 
environmental conditions. The 
dirtier or dustier the environment, 
the more often you should clean 
the screens. 
 
1 Remove the lamp housing. 
 
2 Examine the dust filter screens on the lamp housing. If necessary, use a vacuum cleaner set on low power 
to clean the screens. Be careful not to disturb any internal components when cleaning the screens. 
 
3 Replace the lamp housing and lamp door. 
 
 
Using the security lock 
 
The projector has a security lock for use with a 
PC Guardian Cable Lock System. Refer to the 
information that came with the lock for instructions 
on how to use it.

Red LED Behavior and Projector Errors  
If the projector is not functioning properly and the LED is blinking red, consult Table 3 to determine a 
possible cause. There are two-second pauses between the blinking cycles.  
 
Table 3: 
Red LED Behavior Explanation 
 One (1) blink The lamp won’t strike after five (5) attempts. Check the lamp and lamp door installations for loose connections.  
 Two (2) blinks The lamp counter hours have exceeded lamp life hours. Replace the lamp and reset the lamp hours counter.  
 Three (3) blinks The projector has shutdown. Check to see if the lamp door is open. If the lamp door is closed, toggle off the projector and wait one minute, then toggle the projector on again. If the lamp does not strike after one minute, replace the lamp. Contact Technical Support (see page 18 ) for repair if replacing the lamp does not solve the problem.  
Four (4) blinks The fan has failed. Contact Technical Support (see page 25 ) for repair or replacing the fan.  
Five (5) blinks The projector is overheating. Check for a blocked air vent. Contact Technical Support (see page 25) for repair if clearing the air vents does not solve this problem.
