HDTV (Optional Use)  
The Compaq Microportable Projector is capable of displaying  
various High Definition TV display modes. The Multimedia  
Adapter is not required to take advantage of this functionality.  
A variety of sources can be used to provide HDTV data to the  
projector for display. Some of these sources are:  
Digital-VHS (D-VHS) player  
HDTV-DVD player  
Satellite Dish HDTV receiver  
A variety of DTV tuners (to receive programming over the  
airwaves)  
Most of these sources will provide an analog component video  
output, a standard VGA output, or a standard digital DVI output.  
The color information can be either in YPrPb (default) format or  
RGB format. The user can switch between these using the analog  
on-screen menu adjustments by selecting “HDTV Setup.” Refer to  
“Analog On-Screen Menu Adjustments” earlier in this chapter for  
more information.  
The projector is capable of processing HDTV data provided either  
on the standard VGA connector or the DVI interface. Use the  
Component HDTV to VGA cable that came with your projector to  
convert component outputs to VGA format.  
The following modes are supported on the DVI interface:  
HD0  
640 x 480p  
704 x 480p  
1280 x 720p  
HD1  
1920 x 1080i  
Using the Projector  
30  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
When displaying HDTV content, it is recommended that you  
display it in its native 16:9 widescreen mode. For this, you may  
need to select the HDTV Fill to Aspect Ratio mode on the projector  
to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the material. Note  
that in this mode, you will have black stripes on top and bottom of  
the projected image, just as you see on a standard TV set when  
viewing widescreen content.  
A desktop or portable computer can also be used to generate a  
HDTV video stream. Capable computers should be able to  
read/acquire the HDTV data and blend it into the desktop graphics.  
The composite image is then sent to the projector for display. In this  
case, the projector displays the image at the standard 4:3 aspect  
ratio, just as it would any other computer graphics mode. The  
projector processes the data as it comes from the computer.  
The largest display mode available using the DVI interface is  
1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz. The largest display mode available using the  
VGA interface is 1280 x 1024 at 75 Hz.  
When displaying HDTV content in a window as part of your  
desktop environment, it is recommended to project it in the  
computer’s native 4:3 mode since the computer has already  
embedded the HDTV video stream in widescreen format within the  
window. To do so, you may need to select the Fill to Screen mode  
on your projector to preserve the height-to-width relationship of the  
material.  
Regardless of the source, the HDTV formats are generally of higher  
resolution than that of the projector (XGA, or 1024 x 768).  
Therefore, the projector will normally downscale the HDTV data to  
fit the complete image within the displayable 1024 x 768 resolution.

Care and Maintenance  
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq  
projector during normal everyday use.  
Protecting the Projector  
To protect your projector from overheating and other types of  
damage, follow these suggestions:  
Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this  
projector as indicated on the marking label.  
Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience  
receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80 percent  
of the branch circuit rating. If an extension cord or power strip is  
used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for the product and  
that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the  
extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80 percent of the  
extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.  
Install the projector near an outlet that you can easily reach.  
Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it  
from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the cord.  
Unplug the projector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not  
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.  
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push  
objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.  
Do not drop the projector or place it on an unstable surface.  
Do not expose this product to rain or moisture.  
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on  
the cord.  
Do not allow the projector to be exposed to high temperatures.  
Care and Maintenance  
44  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Do not open the projector or attempt to service this product for  
any other reason than to replace the lamp module. Adjust only  
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. If  
the projector is not operating properly or has been dropped or  
damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or  
service provider.  
Cleaning the Lens  
To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface,  
this cleaning procedure has been developed. The first  
recommendation is to remove any dust particles from the lens by  
blowing them off with clean, dry, deionized air. However, this may  
not be a convenient method, and an alternate method is described  
below.  
To clean the lens, use only a clean cloth and follow these steps:  
CAUTION: Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner  
directly on the lens surface. Do not use liquid cleaners.  
1. Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do  
not wipe back and forth across the lens surface.  
2. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the  
cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged,  
replace it.  
Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth  
or softener sheets when drying the cloth.  
Care and Maintenance

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
CAUTION: Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact  
with the lens for a long time as doing so may  
contaminate the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth  
can be contaminated if left in the open air.  
Replacing the Projector Lamp Module  
WARNING: When the lamp reaches its end of life, it  
!
may pop or rupture. To reduce the risk of personal  
injury, be careful when removing the lamp cover as  
broken glass may be present. Never open the lamp cover
