SwiTChiNg Off AND RETURNiNg TO STANDBY
With the remote control: press  .
With the keypad: press .
When switching off, the projector goes into stand-by mode and 
stores the input selection at the time of switch-off.
The  fans  keep  running  until  the  lamp  cools  down  (green  and 
red leds on), after which they automatically switch off. Do not 
switch off the projector with the power switch until the fans have 
stopped running.  
6  CONNECTiONS
To obtain the best performance from your projector, we recom-
mend  the  use  of  good  quality  “ video  cables”  to  the  various 
signal sources (75 ohm Impedance).
Poor quality cables will cause inferior picture performance.
For  optimum  connectivity  we  recommend  you  follow  these 
simple steps:
-  With  exception  of  coaxial  RCA/Phono  type  connectors, 
always  double-check  that  the  plug  is  inserted  the  correct 
way round to avoid damaging the plugs or the sockets on 
the projector (Fig. 15).
-   Remove cables by the plug and do not pull on the cable 
itself.
-   Avoid tangled cables.
 
-  Position the cables carefully to avoid a trip hazard - espe-
cially in low light areas.

of the pictures reproduced by the D80 in the two cases:  the 
deinterlacing  performed  by  the D80  is  often  more  effective 
than that performed by the source itself.
gRAPhiCS RgB
This input should be connected to an RGB-type video or graphic 
signal using a cable with a DB15HD type connector.
The signal source device (typically a personal computer or game 
console) must be able to provide separate H/V synchronisation or 
composite H+V synchronisation.
hDMi™
HDMI™  (High  Definition  Multimedia  Interface)  integrates  an 
uncompressed high definition video signal with a multichannel 
audio signal and allows exchange of control data between the 
video source and the D80.
The HDMI input allows connection to video sources that use the 
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) protocol to 
protect their contents. 
Once the video source has been connected to the HDMI input, 
internal processing by the D80 separates the video information 
from  the  audio  information.  The  audio  information  is  made 
available on a digital output with a female TOSLINK connector 
in compliance with the S/PDIF standard.
You  can  use  a  DVI-D  >  HDMI  adapter  cable  to  connect  the 
DVI-D signal from a source equipped with a DVI-D output.
COMPOSiTE ViDEO 
Fit  an  RCA  connector  with  a  Composite  Video  (CVBS)  signal 
to this input.
The  output  connector  on  the  external  appliance  is  normally 
coloured yellow and will often be labelled VIDEO.
Other signal and socket formats may be preferable (because 
they give better image quality), but this type of output socket is 
still the most commonly used, and nearly all television receivers, 
video recorders, DVD players and camcorders, etc. use it.
S-ViDEO 
Fit a mini-DIN connector with an S-Video signal to this input. 
The  corresponding  output  at  the  external  device  is  normally 
identifiable by the labels S-VIDEO or Y/C.
This  type  is  nearly  as  common  as  Composite  Video,  and  is 
preferable to the latter, since it gives higher image quality.
RgB/YPrPb 
These inputs use a set of 4 RCA connectors.
RGB and Component signals can be applied to each set of 
connectors.
RGB signals can have composite synchronisation on the green 
signal (RGsB), or on the HV signal.
Connect the R, G, B outputs of the source to the respective R, 
G, B inputs of the D80 (taking care not to invert the positions) 
and any synchronisation signals to the HV.
When  hooking  up,  use  the  colours  of  the  RCA  connectors  as 
an aid as follows: the R connector is red, G is green, B is blue 
and HV is white. 
You  can  use  a  SCART  to  RCA  adapter  cable  to  connect  the 
RGB  signal  from  a  source  equipped  with  a  SCART  output  to 
this input.
The  Component  signals  connect  to  the  Y,  Pr  and  Pb  inputs: 
take  care  that  the  inputs  correspond  to  the  outputs  on  the 
source device.
Since  these  can  be  labelled  differently,  refer  to  Table  1  to 
establish the correspondence between the various signals. As 
indicated in the table, the colours of the connectors can also 
be of help.
Only horizontal scanning frequencies of 15 kHz (standard video 
resolution)  or   kHz  (high  definition  video,  with  progressive 
scanning) can be applied to this input.
Progressive signals usually provide better quality than interlaced 
signals, but if the source features both progressive and deinter-
laced signal outputs it is good practice to compare the quality Fig.16

RS232 iNTERfACE CONNECTOR 
The projector can be controlled from a PC: simply hookup 
the interface connector to a PC ’s RS serial cable.
Do  not  place  objects  between  the  remote  control  and  the 
receiver on the projector, as this can prevent the remote from 
working.

MAiN MENU
To  access  the  main  menu  of  the  On  Screen  Display  press 
the MENU key on the keypad or the MENU+ or MENU- key on the 
remote control. 
The  main  menu  is  divided  into  four  windows, PICTURE,  IMAGE, 
SETUP  and  MENU,  in  which  the  various  adjustments  are  grouped 
according to the frequency of use. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to 
select  the  line  corresponding  to  the  adjustment  you  wish  to 
make (Fig. 1). 
The  various  menus  only  offer  the  relevant  adjustments  in  ac-
cordance with the type of input signal displayed (e.g. certain 
typical adjustments for video signals, not necessar y for graphic 
signals, do not appear on the menus, and vice versa). 
Some adjustments (e.g. BRIGHTNESS and C ONTRAST) are associated 
with a numerical value that can be varied within the set limits 
using the ◀ and ▶ keys. 
For others (e.g. VIDEO TYPE) you can choose between two options 
presented on the same line and selectable using the keys ◀ 
and ▶ Fig.a/b

NORMAL:  projects  the  image  occupying  the  full  height  of  the 
screen  while  maintaining  the  aspect  ratio  of  the  input  signal. 
When the input signal aspect ratio is 4: black vertical bands 
are displayed on the right and left of the picture.
ANAMORPHIC: correctly displays a 16:9 image.
LETTERBO x: serves to display a 4: letterbox image (with source 
signal having black bands above and below the picture) so that 
it fills the 16:9 screen and maintains the correct aspect ratio. 
PANORAMIC: widens the 4: image and cuts off a strip from the 
top and bottom. Panoramic is ideal for displaying a 4: image 
on the 16:9 screen of the Display.
SUBTITLES: raises the image, thus making space for subtitles.
P Ix EL  TO  PIx EL: runs a pixel to pixel mapping of any image, without 
adapting to the screen. The image is projected in the centre 
of  the  screen  and  if  its  horizontal  and/or  vertical  dimensions 
are  smaller  than  the  display,  it  is  bounded  by  vertical  and/or 
horizontal black bands.
USER 1,  , : use this option if none of the others are satisfactor y. 
The User formulas give you the ability to continuously adjust the 
picture size horizontally and vertically.
 
COLOR TEMPERATURE
Changes the colour balance of the image. 
The colour temperature setting is made by setting the white point 
in the CIE chromaticity diagram. The system enables you to set 
the  white  point  in  a  grid  of  6  points  in  the  neutral  colour  zone 
(Fig. ). 
Moving  it  horizontally  changes  the  correlated  colour  tempe-
rature,  with  the  low  temperatures  to  the  right  (more  red)  and 
high  temperatures  to  the  left  (more  blue).  The  points  on  the 
lowest horizontal line (Fig.4) represent the colours on the black 
body curve.
There is 4 predefined colour temperature setting and another
USER setting that allows the manual regulation.
- HIGHT - MEDIUM - LOW
- LIGHT BOOST (no correction, maximum possible light)
- USER
Selecting  the  NO  option  causes  the  de-interlacer  to  apply  a 
Motion compensated algorithm optimized for video camera 
signals.
NOiSE REDUCTiON 
This  adjustment  serves  to  select  the  noise  reduction  filter  va-
lue.
In this latter case, simply click on the slider and set the value 
with the ◀ and ▶ keys on the remote control. 
iMA gE
This  menu  features  adjustments  relating  to  picture  position, 
aspect ratio, magnification etc.
ASPECT
This  adjustment  allows  you  to  change  the  dimensions  and 
aspect  ratio  (relationship  between  width  and  height)  of  the 
displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and 
three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You 
can  select  a  different  aspect  for  each  source:  the  selected 
aspect  ratio  will  be  automatically  applied  the  next  time  the 
relative source is called.
You  can  also  select  the  required  aspect  ratio  by  repeatedly 
pressing the  key , or by pressing  and a numerical key 
(1...8).The following aspects are available:

There  are  4  sets  of  gamma  curves:  Standard  (ST),  Enhanced SIM  (EN)  and  Graphics  (GR),  User.  The  Standard  curve  has been  defined  for  general  use,  and  is  set  for  videocameras, digital cameras, and for viewing films or photos on your PC. The Enhanced set is suitable for watching movies. The Graphics set is suited to displaying synthetic graphics (PC, CAD, PC presenta-tions, etc.). User enables you to define your own curve. You can thus select the coefficient which determines the curve.

The colour temperature is constant on the vertical lines, but is more or less different from the black body curve. This means that the higher points of the graph are more green. On the contrar y, the lower points of the graphic yield a more purple 
image.
gAMMA CORRECTiONDetermines the system’s response to the grey scale, empha-sising or attenuating the different grades of brightness (blacks, dark, medium, light grey, whites) in the projected image. The projector has a range of gamma functions which enable you  to  display  any  image  to  the  best  effect  for  the  type  of video  source,  the  ambient  lighting  and  your  subjective  pre-ferences.

Values from 1.5 to .  allow you to emphasise the detail of dark images,  but  reduce  overall  contrast.  Values  higher  than  . increase overall contrast, but reduce the detail of dark areas. 
For the most common video sources, the  overscanning value 
can be in the range (no overscanning) to  (maximum). The 
resulting image always maintains the selected aspect irrespec-
tive of the selected overscan value. 
POSiTiONUse this adjustment to position the image vertically and horizon-tally. Determines the aspect ratio of the projected image.These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most  suitable  values.  However,  if  the  image  is  not  perfectly centralised it may prove useful to request the system to repeat the input signal analysis and image positioning, calling the au-tomatic control procedure with button A  on the remote control or the AUTObutton on the keypad. When this procedure is called it is helpful to have a while or light coloured background on the screen in the current picture.  
Frequency/phaseThese adjustments, available for progressive signals and for si-gnals from a PC, ensure correspondence between the number of  pixels  making  up  the  signal  and  the  number  of  pixels  that make up the projected image.These parameters do not normally require adjustment because the system checks the input signal and automatically sets the most suitable values. If however the image is disturbed (loss of resolution between equidistant vertical bands or instability and lack of detail in thin vertical lines) it may help to ask the system to rerun the input signal analysis and set the best parameters 
by calling up the automatic adjustment function with A on the 
remote control or AUTO on the keypad.If  the  automatic  procedure  fails  to  have  the  required  effect, enter  the  frequency  and  phase  values  manually  and  ap-proach  the  screen  sufficiently  to  observe  the  effects  of  the adjustments.
OVERSCAN
Eliminates  irregularities  around  the  outer  borders  of  the  im-
age.
Some  less  accurate  sources  may  produce  an  image  with 
uneven  borders;  thanks  to  the  overscan  function  these  im-
perfections  can  be  moved  to  outside  the  displayed  area.  Il
parameter to ., typically yields pleasant, contrasty images. 
Y/C DELAYIn the case of Video and S-Video signals, it may be necessar y to correct horizontal colour misalignment within the projected image. For a given video standard (e.g. PAL or NTSC) the stored value does not normally require further fine-tuning, unless the source or connection cable has changed.
SETUP
The setup menu contains less frequently used adjustments that 
may  be  required  during  installation  (e.g.  On  Screen  Display 
language selection or the display of Test Patterns).
ORiENTATiON
Reverse  the  image  vertically  and  horizontally  to  best  fit  the

VERTiCAL KEYSTONE
To  get  the  best  image  quality,  we  recommend  installing  the 
image  on  a  surface  which  is  perpendicular  to  the  screen.  If 
the  projected  image  is  not  level,  adjust  the  feet  on  its  base 
to obtain a level position, lining up the base of the projected 
image to the base of the projection screen (Fig.6).
 If  this  adjustment  is  insufficient  to  centre  the  image,  tilt  the projector and use the Vertical/horizontal keystone adjustment to compensate for the resulting distortion.
