REMOTE INPUT INTERFACE CONNECTING CABLE
With a special cable (optional), it is possible to connect the Re-
mote Input Interface (optional) to the projector.
Connect/disconnect the special Remote Input Interface cable
only when the projector is switched off and disconnected from
the mains (switch in position O).
CAUTION: This is not a VESA “Plug & Display” connector.
Never connect a computer to this socket as the projector
and the computer may be damaged 
(Fig. 23).
Fig. 23
MOTORISED PROJECTION SCREEN OUTPUT
Fig. 24
The projector is equipped with two outputs (Voltage: 12 Vdc) for
motorised projection screen and screen masking systems. These
12V outputs should be connected to the appropriate screen
interface provided by the screen manufacturer 
(Fig. 24).
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).
The output 
 can be used to control a screen masking system;
its output can be set with the “Screen control” adjustment in the
“Aspect” menu.
This output allows reduction in the area of a 16:9 screen, into a
4:3 format, by activating a screen masking system (refer to
screen manufacturer for further information).
RS232 INTERFACE CONNECTOR
RS 232
Fig. 25
It is possible to control the projector through a personal compu-
ter. 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. 25).

7   REMOTE CONTROL
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. 27).
Fig. 27
Avoid placing obstructions between the remote control and the
infrared sensor at the front of the projector; this will impair the
remote control performance. The remote control requires four 1.5V, AAA alkaline batteries.
Insert the batteries, taking care to match the polarity, as indicated
in the battery recess of the remote 
(Fig. 26).

Change the batteries in the remote control if experiencing

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 the batteries
have leaked, carefully wipe the case clean and replace with new
batteries. Eight push buttons, at the rear of the projector, will allow com-
plete operation without the use of the remote control.

MAIN MENU
To access the main On Screen Display menu, press the
Menu key on the keyboard or the key Menu + or Menu - on the
remote control 
(Fig. 29).
The main menu is divided into four sections to cover various
adjustments in a practical and logical manner.
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.

ENGLISH
TINT
Controls the purity of the colours, to NTSC coded signal
standards. Tint is only applicable to video input with NTSC
standard, 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 mode, press
the VCR key on the remote control.

Normal
This aspect projects the image occuping the full vertical

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

16:9 aspect ratio.

- Check the integrity of cables used to connect various sources.
- If you are using the Remote Input Interface, do not to confuse
the menu for selection of projector’s inputs (Source Selection),
with the menu for selection of remote inputs (Source Selection
/ RI2).
Image is disturbed, unstable or noisy
- Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with the technical
specifications of the  projector.
- Check the integrity of cables connecting projector to various
sources.
- If the signal source is a terrestrial broadcast (via a VCR) check
that the receiving channel has been correctly tuned in and
that the aerial system is in good working order.
- Should the problem be present with a signal coming from a
video-recorder, ensure that the videotape is an Original “first
generation” copy and in good condition.
- Adjust the VCR’s tracking control for optimum picture perfor-
mance. Ensure the VCR mode is active in the Picture  menu.
Incomplete image along borders (vertical and horizontal)
- Compare compatibility of video/graphic signals and technical
specifications of your projector.
- Press Auto (on your remote or keypad) to execute automatic - Verify compatibility of video/graphic signals with technical

Out of range
Either the resolution or the horizontal/vertical frequency of the
input signal is too high.
- Input a signal that is within specifications.
No power  (Green and red LED are OFF)
- Check the power switch at the rear: it must be in position I.
- Check if the power cable has been connected correctly to a
working socket.
- Check the power socket fuse, at the rear of the projector.
- Replace the fuse on the mains socket with an identical type
(T 3.15A H) 
(Fig. 2).
- Should the problem persist, seek authorised technical
assistance.
The lamp is not coming on
- Allow a few minutes pause between switching off and turning
on again (from stand-by). This will allow the lamp to cool down
sufficiently.
- If the lamp doesn’t come on – even though the projector has
had sufficient time to cool down – seek technical assistance
from your nearest Dealer.

- Check that the selected input is actually connected to a active
video or graphic signal.
- Check that the above source actually works.

High temperature
The projector detects temperature internally; if it is too high it
will switch itself off.
- Check temperature of the room: it must be below 35°C
(95°F)
- Check projector air vents on top and underneath the projector:
they must be free of obstruction.
- If the problem persists, consult your Dealer.
9   CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The projector does not require internal cleaning. There are no
user serviceable parts inside the projector.  Please refer all
service requirements to qualified personnel.
Cleaning the projector’s cover:
Use a soft slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
solvents or other harsh chemicals, as this will damage the finish
of the cover. Avoid direct cleaning of the rear panel’s screen-
printing.Cleaning the lens:
The lens may be cleaned with a very soft, non-abrasive small
brush, in order to remove dust particles.  Alternatively, use a
soft dry cleaning cloth (of the type used for camera lens cleaning)
to remove fingerprints and grease marks.
