10m
±30°
Note: Avoid  exposing  the  remote  control  to  a  high  temperature  or  humidity  environment;  otherwise,  it  could  cause  the  remote 
control to malfunction. 
Remote Control Instructions 
Reflection may be affected by the environment under  some circumstances. Aim the remote control at the project to try again if it 
happens. Replace batteries with new ones if the effective distance of the remote control is decreased or the remote control does n\
ot 
work. 
 
When  the  terminal  of  the  remote  control  cable  is  inserted  to  the  wired  control  terminal  of  the  projector,  the  projector  will 
automatically switch to the wired control mode and cannot be controlled through the IR signal of the remote control. Disconnect 
the wired control terminal on the projector if you want to control throu\
gh the IR signal of the remote control. 
Pay attention to the installation environment because the signal may not work due to interference if the IR remote sensor is 
exposed to the bright sunlight or fluorescence.

Cautions on Ventilation 
This product is a high-brightness projector. The intakes with filters are located on the front and right sides to 
provide sufficient air cooling function. The projector has two vents on the back for cool air discharging. Make 
sure the intake and vent are unobstructed when the projector is being installed. At least 50cm around the in-
take and 70cm around the vent should be clear.
Distance must 
>50cm
Distance must 
>70cm
Distance must

Distance must 
>50cm
Ceiling mode
Keep Distance of
projector above 30cm
Note: 
• If the installation distance is not enough, the projector may enter the system protection mode due to the rising ambient
temperature after running for a while. Then, projection may be interrupted. 
• The service life of components or lamps may be reduced due to the high temperature around the projector. 
•  If  the  projector  has  to  be  installed  in  a  box  or  a  closed  environment,  the  external  intake  and  vent  system  should  be  designed 
additionally to ensure that there is enough air for cooling or the proje\
ctor will not be surrounded by heat.
Precautions For Installation 
The high quality display effect can be guaranteed only when the projector is correctly installed. Generally, the 
light source facing the screen should be reduced or eliminated as much as possible. The contrast of images 
will be obviously reduced if the light such as the beam from glass window or searchlight directly shines on 
the screen. Images may appear faded and less vibrant.
Projector Installation and Setup 
There  are  6  fixture  screw  holes  at  the  bottom  of  projector  for  ceiling  mounting. The  available  installation  op-
tions are as below.
Front: Install the projector on the table and project the image forward.
Rear: Install the projector on the table and project the image from rear.
Ceiling + Front : Mounting the projector on the ceiling and project the image forward.
Ceiling + Rear : Mounting the projector on the ceiling and project the image from rear.
6 fixture screw for ceiling mount 
The screw is M6*17mm
Note: The maximum length of screws is 18mm.

Connecting the Projector to Source Devices
Follow the instructions below to connect the DU9000 projector to the video source, external control equip-
ment (if any) and AC power supply. When connecting to the equipment, use the correct signal cable to con-
nect to every signal source and ensure that the cable is securely connected. Fasten the nut on the joint and 
connect the signal source equipment to the projector according to the figure below. 
Connecting to a Computer 
You can connect PC signal to the projector through the HDBaseT, HDMI, and RGB (BNC) cable. If the signal 
to be input is VGA signal, connect the VGA cable to the external display of the projected screen.
USB
Connecting to Video Equipment 
Connect the video equipment to the input port of the projector via the HDBaseT, HDMI, and Component 
Video Connector cable.
Connecting to Control Equipment 
The projector has the following control ports for connecting to the cont\
rol equipment:
HDBaseT/LAN (Network Control)
The projector supports network control. LAN and HDBaseT share the same port. If only network control is 
used, you can connect the LAN on the projector to PC or through the local network. Refer to the remote con-
trol guidelines for detailed information.
RS-232 (RS-232c Control)
The projector supports RS-232c serial control. The projector can be remote-controlled by connecting the pro-
jector to PC or control system through the standard 9-pin serial cable (\
Straight through Serial Cable). Refer 
to the remote control guidelines for detailed information.
Wired Remote Control
If the projector cannot receive the IR signal from the remote control due to the overly long distance or ob-
stacles, you can connect the cable to the IR remote control or the external IR transmitter (optional) via the 
WIRE input port to expand the working range of the remote control.
3D Sync
3D sync signal output for IR transmitter.
Note: • When the terminal of the remote control cable is inserted to the wired control terminal of the projector, the projector will 
automatically switch to the wired control mode and cannot be controlled through the IR signal of the remote control. Disconnect 
the  wired  control  terminal  on  the  projector  if  you  want  to  control  through  the  IR  signal  of  the  remote  control.  •  If  the  wired  re-
mote  control  cable  or  the  external  IR  transmitter  is  inserted  to  the  incorrect  port,  such  as  Trigger,  the  remote  control  or  the  IR 
transmitter may be damaged. 
Please do not plug IR remote into 12V trigger.
Make sure whether the port is correct before insertion.
Lens Shift 
The DU9000 projector has lens shift feature so the image can be vertically shifted without moving the   
projector.
The lens shift bit is shown in the percentage of the screen height. The projector installed on the desk can 
move up and down.
Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift
The projector installed on the desk can move up and down.

Before Using the Projector 
Remove Dust Cover Before Turning on Power
Remove this plastic cover before turning on power and installing Lens.

Connecting to AC Power 
There are three AC power cords included in the box.
Before plug the power cord, please choose the compliant power cord for t\
he AC Voltage in you region.
The fuse is different from 110V and 220V, please switch before you plug power cord.
Plug the power cord to AC socket (AC100V- 240V, please make sure the fuse is in correct Voltage) on the 
side of the projector and plug another end of the AC power cord to the AC outlet.

Connecting to the Screen Trigger 
If your projection system includes the Electric projection screen and other 12V trigger device, you can con-
nect  these  devices  to  the  12V  trigger  to  output  and  configure  the  output  12V  signal  settings,  such  as  auto-
mation and the aspect ration of 16:10 through OSD control to Trigger. The projector will output 12V signals 
according to the current settings of the aspect ratio and trigger when turned on. You can use the signal to 
control the screen or device.
Connecting to the External HDBaseT Transmitter 
The projector has a built-in HDBaseT signal receiver. With the HDBaseT Transmitter (optional), the video, 
RS-232 and LAN signals can be sent to the projector via a single RJ-45 cable. If the HDBaseT Transmitter 
you purchased supports the input and output of the IR remote control, the control signals from the IR remote 
control cant be sent to the DU9000 projector via the RJ-45 cable.
Note: 
The projector supports the video signal only, RS-232 and IR remote control are not supported. The reception of the network con-
trol signals is also supported.
This projector do not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). 
If the Video content is sent via the HDBaseT transmitter, the longest transmission distance is 100 meters.
The projection may be interrupted, interfered, or the control signal cannot be sent if the transmission distance is exceeded. 
Use  the  RJ-45  Cat5e  cable  and  avoid  entwining.  Entwining  may  cause  damage  like  interference  of  signal  transmission,  reduced 
transmission distance and degraded image quality.
