There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. It is 
recommended that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically 
test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently 
install it, so as to make allowance for this projectors optical characteristics. This will help you 
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

1. Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the 
computer.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER 
IN 2 signal input socket on the projector.
3. If you wish to use the remote mouse control function, take a USB cable and connect 
the larger end to the USB port of the computer, and smaller end to the MINI USB 
socket on the projector. See Using the remote mouse control on page 10 for details.
Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. 
Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a 
function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press 
FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebooks documentation to 
find your notebooks key combination.
Connecting a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you 
can connect the MONITOR OUT signal output socket on the projector to an external 
monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:
1. Connect the projector to a computer as described in Connecting a computer on page 
18.
2. Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the 
D-Sub input socket of the video monitor. 
Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable 
and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the MONITOR OUT socket on the projector.
The MONITOR OUT output only works when COMPUTER IN 1 connection is made to the 
projector.
To use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, turn on the Active VGA 
Out function under the SOURCE > Standby Settings menu.

Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the 
following output sockets:
• HDMI
• Component Video
•S-Video
• Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above 
connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method 
you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the 
projector and the Video source device as described below:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is HDMI. If your source device is equipped 
with an HDMI socket, you can enjoy uncompressed digital video quality.
See Connecting an HDMI device on page 20 for how to connect the projector to an HDMI 
source device and other details.
If no HDMI source is available, the next best video signal is Component video (not to be 
confused with composite video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component 
video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of 
choice in preference to (composite) video.
See Connecting a Component Video source device on page 20 for how to connect the 
projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. 
If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source 
device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See Connecting an S-Video source device on page 21 for how to connect the projector to 
an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than 
optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods 
described here.
See Connecting a composite Video source device on page 21 for how to connect the 
projector to a composite Video device.
Connecting audio
The projector has built-in mono speaker(s) which is designed to provide basic audio 
functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed 
for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or 
home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common 
mono audio output through the projector speaker. 
If you wish, you can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, 
and also connect separate amplified speakers to the Audio Out socket of the projector. The 
audio output is a mixed mono signal and controlled by the projector Volume and Mute 
settings. 
						

							20
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output 
of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.
Connecting an HDMI device
You should use an HDMI cable when making connection between the projector and HDMI 
devices.
1. Take an HDMI cable and connect one end to the HDMI output port of the video 
device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the HDMI input port on the projector. 
In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector’s HDMI 
input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. 
See Changing HDMI input settings on page 27 for details.
The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is 
connected. See Connecting audio on page 19 for details.
Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video 
output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
1. Take a VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable and connect the end with 3 RCA type 
connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match 
the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red 
to red.
2. Connect the other end of the VGA (D-Sub)-Component adaptor cable (with a D-Sub 
type connector) to the COMPUTER IN 1 or COMPUTER IN 2 socket on the 
projector.
The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is 
connected. See Connecting audio on page 19 for details.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct 
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and 
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Connecting an S-Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket 
available: 
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
1. Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video 
source device.
2. Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO socket on the projector.
The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is 
connected. See Connecting audio on page 19 for details.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct 
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and 
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this S-
Video source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to this 
device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of 
poorer picture quality. See Connecting Video source devices on page 19 for details.
Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video 
output sockets available:
• If so, you can continue with this procedure.
• If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
1. Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the 
Video source device.
2. Connect the other end of the Video cable to the VIDEO socket on the projector.
The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is 
connected. See Connecting audio on page 19 for details.
If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct 
video source has been selected, check that the Video source device is turned on and 
operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.
You need only connect to this device using a composite Video connection if Component Video 
and S-Video inputs are unavailable for use. See Connecting Video source devices on page 
19 for details.
Playing sound through the projector
You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also 
connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output 
of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.
You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker when the 
SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Audio Settings > Audio In 2 menu is set to 
Microphone. See Adjusting the Audio In 2 setting on page 46 for details.
Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) 
menus. See Adjusting the sound on page 45 for details. 
						

							22 About the microphone input
• If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the 
projector.
• You can use a wireless microphone as long as a wireless module is attached to the 
projector’s microphone input jack and it works well with the associated devices. To 
ensure a quality use of the wireless microphone, it is recommended that your 
microphone conforms to the specifications listed in the table below. 
• There are two ways to adjust microphone volumes.
• Directly set microphone volume levels in the SYSTEM SETTING: 
ADVANCED > Audio Settings > Microphone Volume menu.
• Set projector volume levels in the SYSTEM SETTING: ADVANCED > Audio 
Settings > Audio Settings > Audio Volume menu, or press  (Volume) on the 
remote control. (The projector volume setting will affect the microphone volume.)
• If the microphone is not working, check the volume setting and cable connection.
• You might get feedback noise from the microphone when you are too close to the 
speaker of the projector. Move the microphone away from the speaker of the projector. 
The greater volume you require, the greater distance you need to be away from the 
speaker to prevent the noise.
Using the cable management cover
This cable management cover helps you to conceal and organize the cables connected to the 
back of the projector. It is especially useful when the projector is ceiling-mounted or wall-
mounted.
1. Make sure that all the cables are properly 
connected to the projector.
2. Attach the cable management cover to the 
back of the projector.
3. Tighten the screws that secure the cable 
management cover.

wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch 
(where fitted).
2. (If available) Remove the lens cap.
3. Press Power to start the projector. As soon as 
the lamp lights up, a Power On Ring Tone will 
be heard. The Power indicator light stays blue 
when the projector is on.
(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.
If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 60 
seconds before energizing the lamp. 
To maintain the lamp life, once you turn the projector on, wait at least 5 minutes before turning 
it off.
To turn off the ring tone, see Turning off the Power On/Off Ring Tone on page 46 for details.
4. If the projector is activated for the first time, select your OSD language following the 
on-screen instructions.
5. Switch all of the connected equipment on.
6. The projector will start to search for input signals. The current input signal being 
scanned appears in the upper left corner of the screen. If the projector doesnt detect a 
valid signal, the message No Signal will continue to be displayed until an input 
signal is found.
You can also press Source to select your desired input signal. See Switching input 
signal on page 27 for details.
If the frequency/resolution of the input signal exceeds the projectors operating range, you will 
see the message Out of Range displayed on a blank screen. Please change to an input signal 
which is compatible with the projectors resolution or set the input signal to a lower setting. 
See Timing chart on page 67 for details.
