Connecting a Desktop Computer
 1. Locate the cable that connects your monitor to your 
computer. Unplug it from the computer.
Note: If you are connecting an older MACINTOSH computer 
that does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use the 
Mac adaptor between the computer and the cable hub.
 2. Plug the   end of the cable hub into the monitor connector 
on your computer.

cable hub.
Do you want to play your computer’s audio on the 
projector?
 1. Unplug the audio cable, if present, from your computer.
 2. Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on

Do you want to control your computer’s mouse from 
the projector’s remote or keypad?
If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.
 1. Unplug the mouse cable from your computer.
Note: A USB mouse is hot-pluggable, meaning you do not 
need to re-boot your computer after connecting the 
mouse to use it. A PS-2 mouse is not hot-pluggable.
 2. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the mouse connector 
on your computer.
 3. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the   connector on 
the cable hub.

If your computer has a USB connector and is running Windows 
98, use the USB mouse cable.
Note: The USB mouse is supported for use with Windows 98 
only.
 1. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the mouse 
connector on your computer. 
 2. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the   connector on 
the cable hub.
You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on you 
computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the 
appropriate drivers.
Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your computer. 
Skip to “Starting the Projector” on page 22.

Connecting a Video Player
 1. If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video 
connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with 
the projector. 
 If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video 
connector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the 
A/V cable. The S-video cable is sold separately.
 2. Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out” 
port on your video player (Figure 9). This port may be 
labeled “To Monitor.”
 If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the 
“s-video out” connector on the video player (Figure 9).
 3. Plug the other yellow connector into the composite connector 
on the back of the projector.
 If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable 
into the “s-video” connector on the projector (Figure 9).

 4. Plug the A/V cable’s white connector into the left “audio out” 
port on your video player. Plug the cable’s red connector into 
the right “audio out” port on the video player (Figure 9 and 
Figure 10).

 If you’re using an S-video cable, the yellow connectors 
on the A/V cable remain unused (Figure 10).
 5. Plug the A/V cable’s other white and red connectors to the 
left and right “audio in” ports on the projector.
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video 
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, and 
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for 
the incoming video. The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and 
PAL-N video are similar to other video signals and cannot be 
automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually. 
See “Video Standard” on page 37 for details.

Starting the Projector
Note: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.
 1. Remove the lens cap.
 2. Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, then plug it 
into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is 
recommended.
 3. Turn on the projector by pressing the “I” side of the power 
switch.
 The Kodak startup screen appears and the Power LED on 
top of the projector lights up.
 4. If you connected a video player, turn it on.
 The video image should display on the projection screen. 
If a computer source is active, press the   button 
on the keypad (page 30) or the   button on the remote 
to display your video image. You can select a default 
source to determine which source the projector examines 
first during power-up for active video; see “Default 
Source” on page 38.
 Use the 
 buttons to adjust the volume.
 5. Turn on your computer. 
 The computer image should display on the projection 
screen. (If a video source is active, press the   
button on the keypad (page 30) or the   button on the 
remote to display your computer’s image.) 
Note: With some computers, the order in which you power up 
the equipment is very important. Most computers should 
be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been 
turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to 
determine the correct order.
 If necessary, make adjustments to the image from the 
projector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press 
the   button on the keypad or remote, then select the 
Display or Image sub-menu. For more information about 
the menus, see “Using the On-Screen Menus” on 
page 31.

Turning Off the Projector
If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, 
press the  button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the 
screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You 
can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby 
mode; see “Standby Time” on page 38 for details.) After 15 
minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit 
standby mode, press the  button again. (It may take several 
seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project 
the image again.)
To completely power off the projector, press the “O” side of the 
power switch on the side of the projector. If you want to turn the 
projector back on immediately, you must allow about a minute for 
the lamp to cool. The lamp won’t light if it’s too hot.

Using the Projector
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the 
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote 
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
 1. Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right 
order (page 22).
 2. If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image 
(page 28), adjust the height of the projector (page 28) or 
center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical 
position (page 36). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree 
angle to the screen.
 3. If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 28).
 4. If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical 
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image 
(page 35) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync 
and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto 
Image off and adjust the sync (page 36) and/or the tracking 
(page 36) manually.
 5. If the colors don’t look right, scroll through the KODAK 
Image Manager settings. See “Kodak Menu” on page 42
Or
Adjust the brightness (page 32).

Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or 
rear of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 
40 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the 
distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than 
or equal to 40 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at 
the projector.
The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons, a 
disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote 
and one on the bottom.

Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor 
on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing 
the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top 
of the remote simulates your computer’s right mouse button; the 
button on the bottom simulates your computer’s left mouse 
button. See “Using the Keypad and Remote Buttons” starting on 
page 29 for a description of the four function buttons.
Note: To control the computer’s mouse from the projector’s 
remote or keypad, you must connect the mouse cable to the 
cable hub.
If you are creating presentations in MICROSOFT
® PowerPoint®, 
you can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your 
presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint 
for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab, 
de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the 
Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in 
PowerPoint’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next 
slide and a right click returns to the previous slide (other 
PowerPoint modes are not affected).
