Connecting an External IR 
Receiver to the DHD 
Controller
If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the DHD Controller due to 
excessive distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an 
external IR receiver to the DHD Controller to extend the range of the remote control. See 
Figure 3-20.

Connecting an External 
Power Supply/Ballast to 
the Projection Head
The SC-1 is optionally available in a split-body configuration in which the power 
supply/ballast is separate from the projection head. This configuration is useful for 
installations where the projection area is too small to accommodate a single-body SC-1, 
or the 220-VAC source cannot be conveniently accessed from the projection area. 
The external power supply/ballast...

Connecting the Ballast to the Lamp Igniter: The external power supply/ballast 
connects to the lamp igniter via two, high-voltage DC power cables with “twist-lock” 
connectors. The connectors are color-coded and of different genders for easy 
identification (red=positive; black=negative); see 
Figure 3-22.
To connect the external power supply/ballast to the igniter: 
1. Connect the positive (red, male) DC power connector to the red...

feature of the SC-1 to adjust the lamp position to help ensure optimized operation as well 
as peak brightness at the screen. You do not need to display an image on-screen to do 
this; however, the lamp must be on and the shutter open. 
To perform the LampLOC adjustment: 
1. Press MENU on the built-in keypad or TheaterMaster...
