Different input signal resolutions can be adapted to match the specified screen  resolution  without  loss  of  image  quality,  thanks  to  a  generous selection of preset aspect ratios, some of which are user definable.
All picture adjustments can be made with the remote control interac-ting with a simple menu-activated On Screen Display; alternatively, the projector can be controlled by a domestic automation system via its serial port, by a USB 1.1 connection or by ethernet RJ45 connection.
The appliance has been subjected to exhaustive operating tests by 
SiM2 to ensure maximum quality.
The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours.Besides the usual checks, the Quality Control department also runs additional statistical tests before despatch. 
in  this  instance  the  packaging  may  show  signs  of  having  been 
opened, and the hours operation of the lamp may be higher than the value required under standard procedures.
The HT5000 projector represents the state of the art in image processing combined with the innovative DLP™ sytsem and outstanding optics.
Its  range  of  inputs  (1  Composite  Video  input,  1  S-Video  input,   
Components  or  RGB  input  -  4  RCA  -  5  BNC,    Graphic  RGB  input,  6 
HDMI™ inputs, 1 HD-SDI input, 1 DVI-D input)  allow it to be connected to a wide range of analogue and digital sources: DVD players, video recorders,  satellite  and  terrestrial  receivers,  computers,  video  game consoles, camcorders, etc.
Its image processing system allows optimum reproduction of a wide range  of  input  signals,  from  interlaced  video  to  high  definition  and digital graphics.Faithful  reproduction  of  signals  at  higher  resolutions  (such  as  high definition  video  and  graphics)  occurs  without  loss  of  information  or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the processor ’s high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.

 Install the unit as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid 
stepping on power cables, make certain they do not be-
come tangled, and never jerk or tug them; do not expose 
them to sources of heat, and make sure they do are not 
knotted or crimped. If the power cables become dama-
ged, stop using the system and request the assistance of 
an authorised technician.
•  Disconnect the unit from the mains power supply in the 
event of electrical storms and when not in use.
  To  prevent  damage  from  lightning  strikes  in  the  vicinity, 
disconnect  the  unit  during  storms  or  when  the  sytsem  is 
going to be left unused for a long time. 
•   Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp. 
 Do not use the unit near to water (sinks, tubs, etc.); do not 
place objects containing liquids on or near to the unit and 
do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of water or sprays; 
do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.

Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise the 
optional bracket for a fixed ceiling installation.
wARNiNg:  if  using  the  ceiling  mount  bracket,  scrupulously 
observe  the  safety  instructions  included  with  the  bracket 
itself. if  using  a  bracket  other  than  that  supplied  by  SiM2 
Multimedia, make sure that the projector is at least 65 mm 
below the ceiling and that the bracket does not obstruct the 
air vents (intake and outlet).
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. ).
 
Place  the  projector  at  the  desired  distance  from  the  screen: 
the  size  of  the  projected  image  is  a  function  of  the  distance 
between the lens and the screen and the lens zoom setting.
Use the motor zoom (Fig.  ) to zoom the projected image in 
and out.
Use the motor focus function (Fig.  ) to obtain a clear image; 
if  the  image  is  correctly  focused,  you  should  be  able  to  see 
each  single  pixel  of  the  projected  image  when  close  to  the 
screen (Fig. ).

The motorized lens shift adjustment allows the projected image 
to be moved vertically and horizontally (left or right) 
The  maximum  adjustment  is  equal  to  half  the  height  of  the 
image in either direction (Fig.a).
If this displacement is insufficient, tilt the projector and correct 
the  keystone  error  with  the  Keystone  adjustment  in  the SETUP 
menu (Fig. 4).

The  Orientation  adjustment  in  the  Set  up  menu  allows  you  to 
reverse  the  image  vertically  and  horizontally  (Fig.  9),  to  allow 
the projector to be used for desktop front, ceiling front, desktop 
rear and ceiling rear installations (Fig. 5). 
To  activate  an  electric  motorised  screen  a TRig 1  output  is 
provided at the rear of the projector (Fig. 6).
The  output  is  activated  (Voltage:  1V)  when  the  projector  is 
switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the 
projector is in stand-by mode.
You can also use black motorised curtains to delimit the screen 
when the projected image aspect ratio changes (Fig. 7). This 
option  is  controlled  via  the  output  TRig 2  at  the  rear  of  the 
projector.
 
TRIG 1TRIG 2
For rear projection the screen must be translucent. 
For front projection, we recommend the use of a screen with 
black matt borders to contain the projected image.
Preferably  use  a  unit  gain  screen;  high  gain  screens  are  only 
effective when used with a small group of viewers close to the 
screen’s axis.
Prevent  ambient  light  shining  directly  on  the  screen  during 
projection  as  this  will  reduce  the  contrast  of  the  projected 
image.
Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as 
light  coloured  walls  should  be  avoided,  as  they  are  likely  to 
interfere with the screen’s characteristics.
