Connecting to a Video Player
If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video 
connector, you’ll only need the audio cable, audio adapter, and 
composite video 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 audio cable and audio 
adapter. The S-video cable is sold separately. 
Note: Your video player may have a Video Out connector for a 
coaxial cable connection. Do not use this to connect to the 
projector. 
To connect to a video player:
 1. Plug the composite video cable yellow connector into the 
“video-out” connector on your video player. This connector 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.
 2. Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video 
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.

Starting the Projector
Note: We recommend using a surge protector power strip.
 1. Remove the lens cap.
 2. Plug the power cord into the side of the projector, and then plug it 
into your electrical outlet. 
The fans start to run and the lamp LED on top of the projector 
lights orange until the software has initialized. Then the LED 
lights green.
 3. Turn on the lamp by pressing the   button on the keypad.
The KODAK startup screen appears. 
 4. If you connected the projector to a video player, turn on the video 
player.
• The video image should appear on the projection screen. If a 
computer source is active, press the   button on the 
keypad (page 23) 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 31.
• Use the    
 buttons to adjust the volume.
 5. If you connected the projector to a computer, turn on the 
computer. Make sure the computer external video port is 
activated. See “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 49. 
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 documentation to 
determine the correct order.
• The computer image should appear on the projection screen. 
If a video source is active, press the   button on the 
keypad (page 23) or the   button on the remote to display 
your computer’s image. 
• If necessary, make adjustments to the image using 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 25.

Turning Off the Projector
To completely turn off the projector, unplug it. 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.
Note: Lamp life will be extended if you turn the lamp off, then wait 
1 minute while the lamp cools before unplugging the 
projector. The Lamp LED will light green when the lamp has 
cooled. See page 24 for details on the Lamp LED.
If you want to turn off the display 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 31 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.)

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 
control buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.
Basic Image Adjustment
 1. Make sure you have turned on your equipment in the right order 
(page 17).
 2.If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image 
(page 20), adjust the height of the projector (page 20) or center 
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position 
(page 29). 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 20).
 4. If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars 
after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 28) 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 29) and/or the tracking (page 29) manually.
 5. If the colors don’t look right, check the KODAK Image Manager 
settings. See “Kodak Menu” on page 35
Or
Adjust the brightness (page 26) and the tint (page 27).

The Remote Control
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.
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or rear 
of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet 
(7.6 m). If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance 
to the screen and back to the projector must not be more than 25 feet 
(7.6 m). For best results, point the remote directly at the projector.
Note:If the remote is inactive for several minutes, it “sleeps” to 
conserve battery life. Press any button except the disk mouse 
to re-activate the remote.

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 Control” starting on page 23 for a description 
of the four function buttons.
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).
