Important Operating Considerations for Safety Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without any obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents. Locate the projector at least 4' (1.2 m) away from any heating or cooling vents. Use only InFocus-approved ceiling mounts. Use only the power cord provided. A surge-protected power strip is recommended. Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
Warning: Hg Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector side vents. When the projector is turned on, keep people, food, and drinks out of the "keep out" area under and around the projector, as indicated by the "X" areas below.

Connecting a computer
Required computer connections
Connect the black end of the computer cable to the Computer 1 connector on the projector. Connect the blue end to the video port on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computers video port. Some Macintosh computers do not have a standard VESA-out video port. If the supplied computer cable will not connect to your computer, purchase the appropriate adapter from your Apple reseller. Connect the black power cable to the connector on the side of the projector and to your electrical outlet. The Power light on the Status Indicator Panel (page 12) turns amber. NOTE: Always use the power cable that shipped with the projector.
To have sound with your presentation, connect an audio cable (sold separately) to your computer and to the Audio In connector on the projector.
If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your computer screen as well as on the projection screen, plug the monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.
If you prefer connecting your projector to your computer with an optional VESA cable, connect one end of the cable to the VESA port on your computer, and connect the other end of the cable to the blue Computer 2 connector on the projector.
You can control the projector from an LCD control panel or computer by connecting an RS-232 cable to the projectors Serial Control connector. Specific RS-232 commands can be found in the Service and Support section of our website.

Adjust the Keystone, Contrast, Brightness, Color, or Tint in the Picture menu. See page 25. Change the Aspect ratio. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. Choose the option that best fits your input source. See page 25. Select a Sharpness, Color Temperature, or Video Standard setting. See page 27. Adjust the Color Control or White Peaking settings. See page 27.
Presentation features
Several features are provided to make giving presentations easier. The following is an overview, details are found in the menu section on page 24. The Custom key, available on several optional remotes only, allows you to assign various features to the button. See page 30 for details. The Startup Logo menu option lets you change the default startup screen to a black, white, or blue screen. See page 29. Two menu options, Power Save and Screen Save, are provided to automatically shut down the projector after several minutes of inactivity or display a blank screen. This helps preserve lamp life. See page 29.

Dots
Certain menu items may be grayed out until a particular source is connected. For example, Sharpness is only available for video sources and will be hidden when a computer source is active. Other menu items may be grayed out when they are not available. For example, Brightness is grayed out until an image is active.

Picture menu
To adjust the following six settings, highlight the setting, press Select, use the up and down arrows to adjust the values, then press select to confirm the changes.

Keystone: adjusts the image vertically and makes a squarer image. You can also adjust keystone from the keypad. Contrast: controls the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of the picture and changes the amount of black and white in the image. Brightness: changes the intensity of the image. Color: (video and component sources only) adjusts a video image from black and white to fully saturated color. Tint: (NTSC video sources only) adjusts the red-green color balance in the image.
Aspect Ratio: Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 1.33:1, also known as 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 1.78:1, or 16:9. The default is 4:3, which displays the input resized up or down to fill the display area. The aspect ratio selection is saved for each source.

Advanced settings
The following 4 options are for computer and component sources only. Phase: adjusts the horizontal phase of a computer source. Tracking: adjusts the vertical scan of a computer source. Horizontal/Vertical Position: adjusts the position of a computer source. Sync Threshold Adjust: (enhanced and high definition sources only) If a hardware device, such as a DVD player, is not syncing properly with the projector, select this option to help it sync. White Peaking: (video sources only) adjusts the white level processed in the image. It increases the brightness of whites that are near 100%. Overscan: (video sources only) removes noise around the video image. Sharpness: (video sources only) changes the clarity of the edges of a video image. Select a sharpness setting. Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video sources. It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned for the video input. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then choose RGB for computer sources, choose either REC709 or REC601 for component sources. Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed value. Color Control: allows you to individually modify each color. Highlight the color, press Select, then use the arrows to adjust the value. Video Standard: (video sources only) When it is set to Auto, the projector attempts to pick the video standard automatically based on the input signal it receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look right or the image may appear torn. If this happens, manually select a video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Standard menu.

Settings menu
Audio: allows adjustments to the volume and turns the projectors startup Chime on and off. Sources: allows you to assign a particular input to a specific source key when using an optional remote. Also allows selection of a default Power-up Source and enables or disables Autosource. Sources>Power-up Source: this determines which source the projector checks first for active video during power-up. Sources>Autosource: When Autosource is not checked, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. If no source is found, a blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, Power-up Source determines which source the projector defaults to at startup. If no signal is present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or until power down. System>Rear: reverses the image so you can project from behind a translucent screen. Ceiling: turns the image upside down for ceiling-mounted projection. Auto Power: When Auto Power is checked, the projector automatically goes into the startup state after the projector is powered on. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch. Low Power: Turn this on to lower the light output of the lamp. This also lowers the fan speed, making the projector quieter. Display Messages: displays status messages (such as Searching or Mute) in the lower-left corner of the screen.

PC Screen Saver Off: prevents your computer from going into Screen Save mode. This feature is only available if the USB portion of the computer cable is connected to your computer (page 5). Power Save: automatically turns the lamp off after no signals are detected for 20 minutes. After 10 additional minutes with no signal, the projector powers down. If an active signal is received before the projector powers down, the image will be displayed. Screen Save: automatically blanks the screen with a black color after no signals are detected for a preset number of minutes. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen Save is disabled when Power Save is enabled.
