Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the
video format determine the size of the projected image.
Projection angle
The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is 115%.
This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image
will be 1.15’ above the center of the lens.

Connecting a computer source
connect computer cable
Required computer connections
Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the Computer 1 or
Computer 2 connector on the projector and the other to the VESA connec-
tor on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you will need to
disconnect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port first (you can
connect this monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector,
see below).
connect power cord
Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the side of the pro-
jector and to your electrical outlet. The Power light on the Status Indicator
Panel (page 14) turns amber.
connect audio cable
NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.
Optional computer connections
To get sound from the projector, connect an audio cable (optional cable, not
included) to your computer and to the Audio In Computer connector on
the projector. You may also need an adapter.
connect monitor cable
If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your
monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.
NOTE: The projector must be plugged for this feature to work.
connect USB cable
To advance slides in a PowerPoint presentation using an optional remote
control, plug the USB cable into the USB mouse connector on your com-
puter and the USB connector on the projector.

CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol. Press FN and the
labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your laptop’s documenta-
tion to learn your laptop’s key combination.

For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players must be configured for
16:9 in order to view the highest quality image. For more information
regarding Aspect Ratio, see page 12.

Connecting a video device
16:9 screen
4:3 screen
You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders,
digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the
projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound
from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system
and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater
system.
4:3
mode
Do Not Use
You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video.
You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a
cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Exam-
ples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and sat-
ellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered
a tuner.
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you
want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the
Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Picture Menu.
See page 28 for more information.
16:9
mode
What is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are
usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs
are 16:9. If you’re projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may
determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall,
you don’t have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also
help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most
movies are 16:9.
Native
mode
(NTSC
only)
If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for
anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3
screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you
also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for
direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies
only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.

Component video connection
Video device connections
If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Compo-
nent to VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video
device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug
the adapter into the Computer 1 or Computer 2 connector. Component
offers the highest quality video output.
No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from
InFocus or provide your own.
Composite video connection
Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out con-
nector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow
Video 2 connector on the projector.
Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out
connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right
audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into
the Audio In Video connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high
quality as S-video.
S-video connection
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an
S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the
Video 1 connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above.
Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than com-
posite.
VESA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connec-
tor may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer
cable into the Computer 1 or Computer 2 connector on the projector.

The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the
projector and can help you troubleshoot.
Shutting down the projector
The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the pro-
jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed.
Screen Save Time
You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by
turning on the Screen Save Time feature in the Setup menu. See page 30.

Be extremely careful when removing the lamp module. In the unlikely
event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated.
The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but
use caution when removing it. Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean
the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands
after lamp replacement. If replacing the lamp while the projector is ceil-
ing-mounted, wear protective eyewear.
