Connecting Source 
Components to the Vision 
110 
Connect your video sources to the Vision 110 as shown and described in the sections that 
follow. 
HDMI Connections: See Figure 3-10. 
Figure 3-10. HDMI Source Connections
Use the HDMI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video 
quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the 
entire signal path, from source component output into the projector. Tip

Connecting 12-volt Trigger 
Outputs to External 
Equipment
If your Vision 110 is equipped with a CineWide with AutoScope system, connect the 
AutoScope lens motor to a 12-volt trigger output on the Vision 110; see 
Figure 3-16.
Similarly connect other 12-volt trigger-activated equipment (such as retractable screens or 
screen masks) to the other trigger outputs. 
For more information on using the 12-volt triggers, refer to Triggers on page 58.

Connecting an External IR 
Receiver to the Vision 110
If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the projector due to excessive 
distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external IR 
receiver to the WIRED REMOTE input on the Vision 110 to extend the range of the remote 
control. See 
Figure 3-17. 
Figure 3-17. External IR Receiver Connection
Connecting to AC PowerProjector: Plug the female end of one power cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the 
Vision 110 (AC 100V ~ 240V). Then, connect the other end to your AC power source. 
AutoScope Lens Motor: With AutoScope-equipped projectors, an additional power cord is 
provided for the lens motor. Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the AC input on 
the rear of the lens motor assembly. Connect the other end to a 110
 VAC power source. 
➤
When an external IR receiver is connected to the wired IR input, the 
built-in IR sensor on the Vision 110 is disabled.

Turning on the Power
1. Turn on your source components. 
2. If this is an AutoScope-equipped projector, turn on the main power switch at the rear of 
the AutoScope lens motor. The lens motor power switch is located next to the AC input 
(see 
Figure 3-16). 
3. Press the ON button on the remote control – or the SOFT PWR button on the projector 
rear panel – to turn on the system. The vacuum fluorescent display on the projector rear 
panel briefly displays “Starting Display.”
4. When the projector is ready for use (after about 20 seconds), the RUN LED on the 
projector rear panel lights solid blue. The fluorescent display indicates the current input 
source, aspect ratio and input resolution; for example:

Adjusting the Picture 
Orientation
By default, the Vision 110 is configured for a “floor/front” installation, in which the projector is 
installed upright and in front of the screen. If it is installed behind the screen and/or inverted, 
you must change the picture orientation. To do this:
1. Press MENU. 
2. Select Service from the Main Menu and enter the Service Menu passcode. 
3. Select Display Device from the Service Menu.
4. Select Installation from the Display Device menu.
5. Choose Floor Rear, Ceiling Front or Ceiling Rear, to match the installation method.
