Introduction3 
						

							Quick start
The following steps outline the  basic setup procedure for
connecting the projector to your computer. Detailed infor-
mation about connections for various computer sources is
described in Chapter 3, 
Detailed setup.
1Aiming the projector lens at the projection screen, place the
projector on a solid, flat surface, at a right angle (perpendic-
ular) to the projection screen and parallel to the floor. Place
the projector the proper distance from your viewing screen.
2Connect your computer or video source to the projector
(refer to the appropriate section for your computer, in Chap-
ter 3, 
Detailed setup, for detailed instructions).
Connector panel
3You can simultaneously view your desktop computer moni-
tor and project computer images with the projector by con-
necting your monitor to the REDRIVE port on the rear panel
OUTPUTS section. (Refer to the applicable setup procedure
in Chapter 3, 
Detailed setup to connect your monitor.)

							4To supply power to the projector, connect the power cable
to the power port on the rear panel of the projector. Then
connect the power cord to an appropriate power outlet.
Turn on the power switch located on the rear panel of the
projector, beside the power port. After approximately 30
seconds after the power is on, a solid-colored image is pro-
jected onto your screen. 
Note:You may detect a high-pitched sound as the color-
wheel and fans are reaching operating speed. Also, as you
turn on the projector, you may detect a slight, crackling,
electrostatic sound as the bulb illuminates. It may take up to
10 seconds for the bulb to reach full brightness.
A keystone correction of 17 degrees is built into the projec-
tor to compensate for image distortion. You may want to
adjust the rear feet of the projector to position the image on
the screen. 
5Turn on your computer or video source. Select the desired
source for display by pressing the appropriate SOURCES
button on the projector control panel or remote control.
Your computer or video image then appears on the projec-
tion screen. The selected SOURCES button is backlit green;
all other SOURCES buttons are backlit red.
Note:For information about the operation of your external
computer or video sources, refer to the appropriate instruc-
tion manual for the equipment in question.
6Focus the projected image with the FOCUS control either on
the control panel or remote control. Adjust the image size
by using the ZOOM control on the control panel or remote
control. Use the projector SETUP and IMAGE menus to
adjust the settings to fine-tune your projected image. (For
more detailed instructions for image adjustments, see
Chapter 4, 
Using the projector.
Introduction5 
						

							Note:Whenever you connect the projector to a computer or
video source for the first time, the projector defaults to the
factory settings. Due to operational differences between
computers and video sources, it may be necessary to make
minor adjustments to the settings. See 
Image optimization
in Chapter 4, Using the projectorfor more information. The
projector stores any modified settings, even when the
power is turned off. 
Note:Audio and video sources must be connected to the
same computer or video source to be selected simultane-
ously.
7To activate audio, connect the audio cables (from your com-
puter, compact disc player, stereo, etc.) to the STEREO port
that corresponds to the source connected in step 
2. The
audio source plays through speakers built into the projector.
You may also connect amplified speakers or headphones to
the OUTPUT connector labeled STEREO or L and R. This
automatically deactivates the projector speakers.
Note:If you connect a mono or single-jack stereo source to
the left (L) audio port (with nothing plugged into the right
(R) audio port), the sound emanates from both speakers.
8Begin your presentation.
Note:For setup procedures for the Computer IR (infrared)
Receiver, refer to the separate instruction manual included
in your Computer IR Receiver Kit.
