Ceiling mounting the projector  
We want you to have a pleasant  
experience using your BenQ projector,  
so we need to bring this safety matter  
to your attention to prevent possible  
damage to person and property.  
If you intend to mount your projector  
on the ceiling, we strongly recommend  
that you use a proper fitting BenQ  
projector ceiling mount kit and that  
you ensure it is securely and safely  
installed.  
If you use a non-BenQ brand projector  
ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk  
that the projector may fall from the  
ceiling due to an improper attachment  
through the use of the wrong gauge or  
length screws.  
You can purchase a BenQ projector  
ceiling mount kit from the place you  
purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ  
recommends that you also purchase a  
separate Kensington lock compatible  
security cable and attach it securely to  
both the Kensington lock slot on the  
projector and the base of the ceiling  
mount bracket. This will perform the  
secondary role of restraining the  
projector should its attachment to the  
mounting bracket become loose.  
18. Do not place liquids near or on the  
projector. Liquids spilled into the  
projector may cause it to fail. If the  
projector does become wet, disconnect  
it from the power supply's wall socket  
and call BenQ to have the projector  
serviced.  
19. This product is capable of displaying  
inverted images for ceiling mount  
installation.  
Warning  
Use only BenQ's Ceiling Mount Kit for  
mounting the projector and ensure it  
is securely installed.  
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.  
When installing the unit, incorporate a  
readily accessible disconnect device in  
the fixed wiring, or connect the power  
plug to an easily accessible socket-outlet  
near the unit. If a fault should occur  
during operation of the unit, operate the  
disconnect device to switch the power  
supply off, or disconnect the power plug.

Positioning your projector  
Choosing a location  
Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select.  
Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power  
outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your  
equipment.  
Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:  
1.  
Front Table  
Select this location with the projector placed near the  
floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way  
to position the projector for quick setup and portability.  
2.  
Front Ceiling  
Select this location with the projector suspended upside-  
down from the ceiling in front of the screen.  
Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit from  
your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling.  
Set Front Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic >  
Projector Position menu after you turn the projector on.  
3.  
Rear Table  
Select this location with the projector placed near the  
floor behind the screen.  
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.  
Set Rear Table in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Projector  
Position menu after you turn the projector on.  
4.  
Rear Ceiling  
Select this location with the projector suspended upside-  
down from the ceiling behind the screen.  
Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ  
Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required for this  
installation location.  
Set Rear Ceiling in the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic >

Obtaining a preferred projected image size  
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the  
video format each factors in the projected image size.  
4:3 is the native aspect ratio of this projector. To be able to project a complete 16:9  
(widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the  
projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent  
to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.  
4:3 aspect image in a 4:3  
aspect display area  
16:9 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect  
display area  
Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image displayed  
by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom  
(vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area whenever displaying a  
scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical center of the 4:3 projection display area.  
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned  
directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This  
prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).  
The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel  
film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward  
angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed  
on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom  
edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the  
screen).  
If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects  
at a slightly downward angle.  
You can see from the diagram on page 16, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge  
of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector.  
When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image.  
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size  
increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.  
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for  
both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly  
proportional to the projection distance.  
BenQ has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the  
ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular  
horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical  
offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

How to determine the position of the projector for a given  
screen size  
1.  
2.  
Select your screen size.  
Refer to the table and find the closest match to your screen size in the left columns  
labelled "4:3 screen diagonal". Using this value, look across this row to the right to find  
the corresponding average distance from screen value in the column labelled  
"Average". This is the projection distance.  
3.  
4.  
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical  
offset in mm" value. This will determine the final vertical offset placement of the  
projector in relation to the edge of the screen.  
The recommended position for the projector is aligned perpendicular to the  
horizontal center of the screen, at the distance from the screen determined in step 2  
above, and offset by the value determined in step 3 above.  
For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the average projection distance is 2182 mm  
and with a vertical offset of 91 mm.  
If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt  
it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion  
will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting keystone" on  
page 30 for details.  
How to determine the recommended screen size for a  
given distance  
This method can be used for situations where you have purchased this projector and would  
like to know what screen size will fit in your room.  
The maximum screen size is limited by the physical space available in your room.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the  
screen. This is the projection distance.  
Refer to the table and find the closest match to your measurement in the average  
distance from screen column labelled "Average".  
Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding screen  
diagonal listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that  
projection distance.  
4.  
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical  
offset in mm" value. This will determine the final placement of the screen in relation to  
the horizontal plane of the projector.  
For example, if your measured projection distance was 1.5 m (1500 mm), the closest match  
in the "Average" column is 1527 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 84-inch screen is  
required.

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ  
recommends 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 projector's optical characteristics. This will help you  
determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

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. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface) supports uncompressed video data transmission between compatible devices like  
DTV tuners, DVD players and displays over a single cable. It provides pure digital viewing  
experience.  
See "Connecting an HDMI device" on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a HDMI  
device.  
If no HDMI source is available, the next best available video connection method 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.  
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 22 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.  
projector to a composite Video device.  
Connecting audio  
The projector has one or two built-in mono speaker(s) which are designed to provide basic  
audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are  
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(s).

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.  
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:  
1.  
Take a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) 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.  
3.  
Connect the other end of the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor cable (with  
a D-Sub type connector) to the D-SUB IN socket on the projector.

4:3 picture  
Real: The image is projected as its original  
resolution, and resized to fit within the display area.  
For input signals with lower resolutions, the  
projected image will display smaller than if resized  
to full screen. You could move the projector  
towards the screen to increase the image size if  
necessary. You may also need to refocus the  
projector after making these adjustments.  
16:9 picture  
4:3 picture  
4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the  
center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is  
most suitable for 4:3 images like computer  
monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect  
DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect  
alteration.

color which is the closest to the color of the projection surface. There are several  
precalibrated colors to choose from: Light Yellow, Pink, Light Green, Blue, and Blackboard.

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to  
enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. It enables a  
greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone images, which are common in video and  
natural scenes, so the projector reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer  
images with that quality, select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.  
On is the default and recommended selection for this projector. When Off is selected, the  
Color Temperature function is not available.  
Selecting a Color Temperature  
Highlight Color Temperature in the PICTURE menu and adjust the values by pressing  
on the projector or remote control.  
/
The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type  
selected.  
1.  
T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish  
white than other settings.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
T2: Makes images appear bluish white.  
T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.  
T4: Makes images appear reddish white.  
*About color temperatures:  
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. One  
of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color temperature. A  
white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a  
high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.  
3D Color Management  
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in  
classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where  
building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Operation

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture  
theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management  
provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction,  
should you require it.  
Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing  
conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of  
suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the  
projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable  
guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.  
The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you  
select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your  
preference.  
If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used  
to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image  
from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make  
adjustments.  
To adjust the settings:

Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

For example, if you select Red and set its  
range at 0, only pure red in the projected

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less  
saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation  
is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

Maintenance  
Care of the projector  
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is  
to keep the lens clean.  
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts  
need replacing.  
Cleaning the lens  
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.  
Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.  
If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner  
and gently wipe the lens surface.  
Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.  
Cleaning the projector case  
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as  
described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 40 and unplug the power cord.  
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH  
detergent. Then wipe the case.  
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the  
case.  
Storing the projector  
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below:  
Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the  
recommended range for the projector. Please refer to "Specifications" on page 57 or  
consult your dealer about the range.  
Retract the adjuster feet.  
Remove the battery from the remote control.  
Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.  
Transporting the projector  
It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

Lamp information  
Getting to know the lamp hour  
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically  
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as  
follows:  
Total (equivalent) lamp hour  
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)  
See "Setting Lamp mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.  
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in Normal mode. That is,  
using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.  
To obtain the lamp hour information:  
1.  
2.  
Press Menu/Exit and then press  
highlighted.  
Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press Mode/Enter. The Lamp Settings page  
displays.  
/
until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is  
3.  
4.  
You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.  
To leave the menu, press Menu/Exit.  
You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.  
Extending lamp life  
The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 3000-4000 hours  
with proper usage. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings  
via the OSD menu.  
Setting Lamp mode as Economic  
Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the  
Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected  
pictures.  
Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set  
Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp mode  
menu and press  
/
.
Setting Auto Power Off  
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected  
after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.  
To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off menu and  
press  
/
. The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the  
preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will  
not automatically shut down in a certain time period.

Timing of replacing the lamp  
When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace  
the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a  
malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.  
The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too  
hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator  
still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on  
page 55 for details.

Replacing the lamp  
If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the  
ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury  
or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the  
power cord before changing the lamp.  
To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes  
before replacing the lamp.  
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution  
when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.  
To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching  
the lens, do not touch the empty lamp compartment when the lamp is removed.  
This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of  
this lamp in a proper manner.  
To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase a  
BenQ projector lamp for lamp replacement.
