Introduction
The KODAK DP2000 Digital Projector is specifically designed for 
the mobile presenter. It packs XGA 1024 x 768 graphics with 
16.7 million colors into a small, 4.8 pound package. It generates 
crisp, clear images using Digital Light Processing™ (DLP) 
technology. The DP2000 is easy to connect, easy to use, easy to 
transport, and easy to maintain.
Included with the DP2000 is Kodak’s exclusive Image Manager 
feature. With this feature you can select the image display setting best 
suited for your specific presentation material and projection 
environment.
Image Resolution
The XGA resolution of the DP2000’s projected image is 1024 x 768. 
The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024 x 768. 
If your computer’s screen resolution is higher than 1024 x 768, reset 
it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector.
The DP2000 automatically expands 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 images 
to 1024 x 768. You can display these images at their native 
resolutions by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See “Auto Resize” 
on page 28 for more information.
Compatibility
The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and 
video devices, including:
• IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 
1024 x 768 resolution. 
• APPLE MACINTOSH and POWERBOOK computers up 
to 1024 x 768 resolution.
• Most standard VCRs, DVD players, camcorders and laser 
disc players.

Usage Guidelines
• Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp 
is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.
• Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air 
flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, 
you must wait a minute before attempting to turn it back 
on.
• Handle the projector as you would any product with glass 
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
• Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme 
cold for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it 
to reach room temperature before use.
• Transport the projector in a Kodak-approved hard or soft 
case.

Quick Start card that came with the KODAK DP2000 Digital

the projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on 
page 31 to reverse the image.

feet (3 m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your 
computer.
 2. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.
• The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and 
the zoom setting determine the size of the projected image as 
shown here. For more information about image sizes at 
minimum and maximum zoom settings, see “Projected Image 
Size” on page 61.

Connecting to a Computer
When you connect the projector to a computer, make sure that the 
distance between it and the projector is 6 feet or less.
Always use the power cord and VESA cable that shipped with the 
projector. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external 
video port when a secondary display device such as a projector is 
connected. Refer to your computer manual for the command that 
activates the external video port. Activation commands for some 
laptop computers are listed in Appendix C.
Note: If you are connecting an older Macintosh computer that does 
not have a 15-pin connector, use the optional Mac adaptor.
