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.

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  
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).  
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 17, 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 on page 17 and find the closest match to your screen size in the left  
columns labelled "Screen size". 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 (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 5040 mm  
and with a vertical offset of 274 mm.  
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.  
Measure the distance between the projector and where you want to position the  
screen. This is the projection distance.  
Refer to the table on page 17 and find the closest match to your measurement in the  
average distance from screen column labelled "Average". Check that your measured  
distance is between the min and max distances listed on either side of the average  
distance value.  
3.  
4.  
Using this value, look across that row to the left to find the corresponding "Screen size"  
listed in that row. That is the projected image size of the projector at that projection  
distance.  
On that same row, look across to the right column and make note of the "Vertical  
offset (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 5.0 m (5000 mm), the closest match  
in the "Average" column is 5040 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 120-inch screen is  
required.  
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 26 on page for details.

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.

Connecting audio  
The projector has one built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio  
functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is 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.  
When you connect audio output signal from a video source device, please set the audio  
output in dual track to obtain an optimal sound effects.  
If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output  
of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.  
The audio connections illustrated on page 18 are provided for informational purposes only.  
You need not connect audio to the projector if there is an alternate sound system available,  
or if audio is not required.

About the aspect ratio  
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active  
areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.  
1.  
Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the  
projector's native resolution in its horizontal or  
vertical width. This is suitable for the incoming  
image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want  
to make most use of the screen without altering the  
image's aspect ratio.  
16:10 picture  
15:9 picture  
4:3 picture  
2.  
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 adjust the zoom setting or  
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.  
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.  
16:9 picture

Using Wall Color  
In the situation where you are projecting onto a colored surface such as a painted wall which  
may not be white, the Wall Color feature can help correct the projected picture’s color to  
prevent possible color difference between the source and projected pictures.  
To use this function, go to the DISPLAY > Wall Color menu and press  
/
to select a  
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.  
Fine-tuning the image quality in user modes  
According to the detected signal type, there are some user-definable functions available  
when User 1 or User 2 mode is selected. Based on your needs, you can make adjustments  
tothese functions by highlighting them and pressing  
control  
/
on the projector or remote  
Adjusting Brightness  
The higher the value, the brighter the image. And the  
lower the setting, the darker the image. Adjust this  
control so the black areas of the image appear just as  
black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.  
+50  
+70  
+30  
Adjusting Contrast  
The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this  
to set the peak white level after you have previously  
adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected  
input and viewing environment.  
0
-30  
+30  
Adjusting Color  
Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image  
will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.  
Adjusting Tint  
The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more  
greenish the picture becomes.  
Adjusting Sharpness  
The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the  
picture becomes.  
Adjusting Brilliant Color  
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  
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.

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.  
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:  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.  
Press Mode/Enter and the 3D Color Management page displays.  
Highlight Primary Color and press

/
to select a color from among Red, Yellow,

Press  
to highlight Hue and press  
/
to select its range. Increase in the range  
will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.  
Please refer to the illustration to the right for  
how the colors relate to each other.  
For example, if you select Red and set its  
range at 0, only pure red in the projected  
Yellow  
GREEN  
RED  
picture will be selected. Increasing its range  
will include red close to yellow and red close  
to magenta.

For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will  
be affected.  
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 and case 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 use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile  
solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or  
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to  
the projector surface and cabinet material.  
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 42 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 63 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.  
Press Menu/Exit and then press  
highlighted.  
/
until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is  
2.  
Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press Mode/Enter. The Lamp Settings page  
displays.  
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. 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. See "Indicators" on page 61 for details.  
The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.  
The warning messages below are for reference only. Please follow the actual on-screen  
instructions to prepare and replace the lamp.  
Status  
Message  
Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the  
projector is normally run with Economic selected  
you may continue to operate the projector until  
the next lamp warning appears.  
A new lamp should be fitted to avoid the  
inconvenience when the projector runs out of  
lamp time.  
It is strongly recommended that you replace the  
lamp at this stage. The lamp is a consumable item.  
The lamp brightness diminishes with use. This is  
normal lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp  
whenever you notice that the brightness level has  
significantly diminished.  
The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector  
will operate normally.

Replacing the lamp  
Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See  
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

Accessibility Requirements for Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section  
508  
BenQ’s commitment to accessible products allows us to support government in making  
accessible technology choices BenQ’s LCD monitors and projectors are compliant with  
Section 508 guidelines by including the assistive features as below:  
BenQ’s monitors have colored “Power” indicators. While the indicator shows green, it means that  
the monitor is using the full power. While the indicator shows yellow or amber, it means that the  
monitor is in suspend or sleep mode and is using less than 2 watts of electricity.  
BenQ’s monitors have a variety of settings of pre-programmed flicker-free timing to make the  
screen shown on the monitor readily accessible. The default timing setting is automatically turned  
on every time the monitor is powered up, and thus reduces the hassle of user intervention.  
BenQ’s monitors and projectors have options for brightness and contrast adjustments that text  
and images could be displayed differently to meet the demands of the visually impaired. Other  
similar adjustments are also available by using the On-Screen Display (OSD) controls on the  
products.  
BenQ’s monitors and projectors include user-selectable color controls, such as color temperature  
selections (Monitor: 5800K, 6500K and 9300K, Projector: 5500K, 6500K, 7500K and 9300K), with  
a wide range of contrast levels.  
BenQ’s multimedia monitors and projectors usually have one or two speakers for audio  
performance which allow users (including hearing impaired) to interact with the computer  
systems connected. Speaker controls are typically located on the front-panel.  
Firmware of BenQ’s monitors and projectors contain unique product information that helps  
computer systems to identify BenQ products and activate their Plug-and-Play function when  
connected.  
All BenQ’s monitors and projectors are compatible with the PC99 standard. For example,  
connectors are color-coded to help users easily connecting products to computer systems  
correctly.  
Some models of BenQ’s monitors and projectors contain additional USB and DVI ports for  
connection to more devices such as a special headphone to assist the hearing impaired.  
All BenQ monitors and projectors come with user manuals on compact discs which could be  
easily read by commercial software such as Adobe Reader via a connected computer system.  
BenQ’s customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers through phone  
calls, facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
