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.
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 Pro-C3 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, 1 Com-ponents or RGB input, 1 graphic RGB input, 2 HDMI™ inputs)  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.

•  Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe place for future consultation. This  manual  contains  important  information  on  how  to install  and  use  this  equipment  correctly.  Before  using  the 
equipment, read the safety prescriptions and instructions carefully. Keep the manual for future consultation.
•  Do not touch internal parts of the units Inside  the  cabinet  there  are  electrical  parts  carr ying dangerously  high  voltages  and  parts  operating  at  high temperature. Never open the cabinet. Entrust all servicing and repair work to an authorised Service Centre. Opening the cabinet voids the warranty. 
•  Disconnecting the appliance from the power supply. The  device  which  disconnects  the  unit  from  the  mains  is the  power  plug.  Ensure  that  the  power  cable  plugs  and the  electrical  mains  socket  outlets  are  easily  accessible during installation operations. Pull the plug, not the cable, to disconnect the unit from the mains.
•  Use only the specified power supply.
 Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with rated 
voltage of between 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and equipped 
with a protective earth connection. If you are not sure of 
your domestic mains rating, contact an electrician. Take 
care to avoid overloading the power socket and any ex-
tension leads.
•  Connection of the units to the mains power supply.
 Connect the unit as shown in Fig. 1.
                                                                        \
           Fig.1
•  Changing the fuses.
 Before changing the fuse disconnect the unit from the 
mains power supply.
 The  fuse  compartment  is  next  to  the  power  supply  con-
nector (Fig. 2). Remove the fuse holder (2) with a flat head 
screwdriver and replace the fuse (3). Fit a new spare fuse 
(4). Use only T 5A H fuses.

•  Be careful with cables.
 Make certain cables are routed so that people will not be 
impeded or tripped up.
 Keep all cables away from children. 
 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.
•  Do not allow the unit to overheat.
 To prevent this, allow a free space of at least 40 cm around 
the back of the projector. 
 Do not block the ventilation slots.
 Do not place the unit near to heat sources such as ovens, 
radiators or other devices (including amplifiers).
 Do  not  place  the  unit  in  a  restricted  area  (shelving  units, 
bookshelves, etc.) and in general avoid placing it in poorly 
ventilated areas as this can lead to overheating.

•  Never look directly at the projection lamp.  
 Never look directly into the lamp when it is on as the inten-
se light can damage your eyes. Take particular care that 
children cannot do so.
•  Take  special  care  regarding  the  movements  of  the 
lens.
 Do  not  place  objects  in  the  slots  on  the  side  of  the  lens, 
and also ensure that the lens’s horizontal and vertical mo-
vements are unimpeded by external objects.
•  Position the unit on a stable surface.
 Place the projector on a stable surface or use the provided 
ceiling mounting bracket.
 Never  place  the  projector  on  its  side  or  rear,  lens  or  top 
panel. 
•  Do not insert objects through the openings in the unit.
 Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If this 
should occur, disconnect the unit from the power supply 
immediately and call an authorised technician.
•  Switch Off.
 Disconnect the mains when the projector is not in use. This 
will  considerably  reduce  power  consumption  and  also 
lengthen the service life of the unit ’s electrical circuitr y.

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. 4).

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. 5) to zoom the projected image in 
and out.
Use the motor focus function (Fig. 5) 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. 5).
