Superior brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens: In color mode/2200 ANSI  
lumens: In monochrome mode, small size, and weighing only about  
1.5 kilograms/3.3 lbs.  
Using TI’s Digital Mirror Device (DMD) and our own optical design we  
have developed a geometric effect that increases the light usage effi-  
ciency. By increasing the light usage efficiency we can better reproduce  
the three basic colors (RGB) required for color reproduction on a single  
DMD. This means superior brightness, smaller size, and lighter weight.  
For computer connection  
Sharp, clear images  
RGB cable  
Audio cable  
(1 m/3.3 ft.) [1]  
No. 770710000  
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual  
pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and clear reproduction of  
small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference  
in quality!  
(1 m/3.3 ft.) [1]  
No. 770708000  
Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors when  
reproducing DVD video and other high picture-quality data/video  
sources  
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays.  
DVD and other high quality image sources bring out the true image  
display quality of the unit.  
Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to  
the height of the line of vision  
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of  
vision, there is no keystoning effect.  
Audio adaptor  
(mini-jack pin conversion,  
0.15 m/0.5 ft) [1]  
No. 770704000  
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of vision,  
image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the keystone correction  
function.

I n s t a l l a t i o n  
The distance from the unit lens to the screen determines to the size of the projected image, therefore, you need to consider the place where you set  
up the unit and screen before making connections.You also need to consider the screen size and height of the unit and screen as other important factors.  
Tip  
A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.  
WARNING  
• Carrying the unit  
Always carry the unit in the carrying case. Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected  
before moving the unit. When moving the unit or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the sliding lens cap.  
• Only use the unit on a solid flat level surface. If the unit falls to the ground, you may be injured and the unit may severely be damaged.  
• Do not use the unit where temperatures vary greatly. The unit must be used at temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).  
• Do not expose the unit to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.  
Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around the unit to allow heat dissipation. Do not cover the vents on the bottom or the side of the unit.  
Installation Guidelines (normal installation)  
This section explains how to determine the screen size you use. Use the following table and charts as a guide.

You can connect up to two pieces of video equipment to the unit following the illustrations below.  
You can switch the input source (picture) to VIDEO or S-VIDEO when you connect two pieces of equipment.  
(The S-VIDEO connection provides more vivid color and higher resolution compared to the VIDEO connection.)  
You can output the sound of only one component through the unit speaker even when two components are connected.  
When connecting two external units, the audio from either one of these units can be output from the speaker of this device. Audio can be  
turned on and off for video related input (video, S-video) from the menu or RGB (or YCbCr) input. (see page 28)

Changing the computer’s video  
resolutions  
Notebook computers and resolution  
standards  
Depending on your computer's graphics capability, you may be  
able to select one of several resolutions. Generally a computer-  
either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 MB VRAM will generally run:  
(U3-1100WZ, U3-1100W, U3-1100SF)  
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as  
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or XGA  
(eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use indus-  
try standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their  
local LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By  
turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit  
more like the real VESA or XGA signal.  
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit true color)  
800 × 600 at 65,000 colors.  
1024 × 768 at 256 colors.  
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run  
decreases. With 2 MB VRAM a computer will generally run:  
(U3-810WZ, U3-810W, U3-810SF)  
640 × 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit true color).  
800 × 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit true color).  
1024 × 768 at 65,000 colors.  
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video such as  
VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or VGA (Video  
Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry stan-  
dards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local  
LCD display. The end result is typically not standard. By turning off  
your notebook display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the  
real VESA or VGA signal.

2 Open “Control Panel” and select “Display.”  
3 Change your resolution and click “OK.” after the new  
resolution is selected.  
4 You may be asked to reboot for the changes to take effect,  
or a message may appear saying that “Windows is about  
to resize your display.” You’ll be asked if you want to  
keep your settings. Select “Yes.”  
If 0kHz is displayed, there is no external output signal from the  
personal computer.  
2. If the notebook type personal computer is not  
outputting the external signal, perform the fol-  
lowing operation.  
Windows 3.1

The unit selects the most suitable resolutions as shown in the “Timing Chart” below according to the incoming signals from the RGB/YCbCr  
connector. However, you may need manual adjustment depending on the computer. If you have any vertical banding, noise, dot interference,  
or crosstalk on the projected picture, adjust the clock frequency with “PICTURE ADJ” then the clock phase with “FINE PICTURE” (see page  
24). You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the image (see page 24).  
When adjusting manually, you can choose to project the image at the original size of the incoming signal resolution (see page 27). (Normally,  
the image is enlarged or reduced to the most suitable size automatically.)

The rated lamp life is about 1,000 hours. The rated lamp life is the average  
life of the lamps produced and tested (under the test conditions of our  
company) for a long term, however, it may become shorter depending on  
the conditions of usage.  
Step 3  
After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours or longer, the STATUS  
indicator on the control panel will light and the “LAMP USAGE” icon  
which shows hours of total lamp usage will be displayed on the screen.  
When this happens, turn off the unit and replace the lamp cartridge with a  
new one. The unit will not turn on after 1100 hours. (It will go off if it is in  
use.)
