C-SYNC
Fig. 18
This input is suitable for a RGB video signal, or for a Component
(YCrCb) type, with composite synchronisation on the green
signal (RGsB) or on the luminance (Y) signal (YsCrCb) through
a cable with RCA/Phono type connector 
(Fig. 19).
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard vi-
deo resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with progressi-
ve scanning) can be applied to this input.

This input is suitable for equipment fitted with a S-Video output
to give improved picture performance (S-VIDEO/S-VHS)
Connection is made via a 4-pin mini-DIN 
(Fig. 17).
VGA INPUT
Personal Computers, Video Processors (scalers) and Video
Game consoles can be connected to the projector via the HDB
15-Pin (VGA) terminal.
Ensure the output of equipment connected is RGB with one of
the following synchronisation options: separate H/V Sync, H+V
Composite Sync, (RGsB) composite sync on the green signal
(Fig. 18). This input accepts a Horizontal Scan Frequency of 
						

							12
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard vi-
deo resolution) or 32 kHz (high definition video, with progressi-
ve scanning) can be applied to this input.
MOTORISED PROJECTION SCREEN OUTPUT
Fig. 20
The projector is equipped with one output (Voltage: 12 Vdc) for
motorised projection screen and screen. This 12V output should
be connected to the appropriate screen interface provided by
the screen manufacturer 
(Fig. 20).
The +12V output is activated when the projector is switched on
(green LED on) and is de-activated when the projector is in
stand-by mode (red LED on).
RS232 INTERFACE CONNECTOR
It is possible to control the projector through a personal com-
puter. First, load the appropriate projector control software onto
your PC, then simply connect this input to a cable from your
PC’s RS232 serial port 
(Fig. 21).

batteries
Change the batteries in the remote control if experiencing
difficulty in sending commands to the projector.
If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time
remove the batteries. Replace all batteries at the same time;
do not replace one new battery with a used battery. If thebatteries have leaked,
carefully wipe the
case clean and
replace with new
batteries.
The remote control
sends commands to
the projector via
infrared signals.
It is possible to control
the projector by
pointing the remote
control at the screen;
the sensor at the front
of the projector will pick up the reflected infrared commands.
(Fig. 23).
Avoid placing obstructions between the remote control and the
infrared sensor at the front of the projector; this will impair the
remote control performance. Eight push buttons, at the rear of the projector, will allow complete operation without the use of the remote control.

The on-screen menu layout is dependant upon the chosen input
signal so various options may not be applicable, i.e. some typical
adjustments to the video signal are not applicable to the graphic
RGB signals from PC and viceversa.

TINT
Controls the purity of the colours, to NTSC coded signal
standards. Tint is only applicable to video input with NTSC stan-
dard, to RGB 15kHz and YCrCb 15kHz inputs and YCrCb 32kHz
(no RI2).
SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of
picture detail.SHARPNESS MODE
It allows to select the type of processing that determines the
detail. In progressive or de-interlaced video signals the Video
option is suggested, with graphic signals from a PC the
Graphic option is suggested.
FILTER
For video signals it improves the image’s horizontal/vertical
definition and sharpness.
CINEMA MODE
In Auto the de-interlacer recognizes if the video signal is
originated from a cinematographic film (resulting from Teleciné
with 3:2 or 2:2 Pull Down) and applies an interpolation algorithm
optimized for this type of signal.
Instead if the video signal does not originate from a
cinematographic film, or Off is chosen, the de-interlacer applies
a “Motion Compensated” algorithm optimized for signals
coming from a videocamera.
VIDEO TYPE
Inserts a filter that improves stability of images from video-
recorders. To toggle between Normal and VCR modes, press
the VCR key on the remote control.

to select the aspect ratio.
Normal
This aspect projects the image occuping the full vertical
dimension of the screen and maintaining the correct aspect
(4:3 or 16:9).
Anamorphic
This aspect allows to properly visualize a 16:9 image.
Letterbox
This aspect allows to project a 4:3 letterbox image, filling the
16:9 screen and maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
Panoramic
This aspect stretches the 4:3 image slightly cutting the upper
and lower parts. Its ideal to project a 4:3 image in a screen of
16:9 aspect ratio.
Pixel to Pixel
This aspect projects the signal as it is input without scaling up
or down.
Image is projected in the center of screen.
