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 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

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.

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.

remove the lamp module, you must access 3 screws underneath this  
shield. Use a screwdriver to punch through the perforated holes in the  
shield that cover the screws. Then loosen the two captive screws on one  
side of the module. Next, remove the 3rd screw on the other side of the  
module. If there is not a perforated hole above the 3rd screw, use a flat-  
blade screwdriver to lift the shield enough to gain access to the screw  
and carefully remove it.  
Carefully lift out the lamp module. Dispose of the lamp in an environ-  
mentally proper manner.
