Frequently Asked Questions - LP850 INFOCUS

How do I connect my laptop to the InFocus LP850 projector?
Connect the VESA cable from your laptop's video port to the Computer 2 connector on the projector. Alternatively, use the M1-D cable for USB mouse control. Then turn on the projector and laptop, and press the Computer button on the keypad. If no image appears, activate your laptop's external video port (usually Fn+F5 or similar).
What should I do if the projector does not display any image?
First, ensure the power cable is plugged in, the power switch is on, and the lens cap is removed. Check that the correct source is selected (press Computer or Video). If using a laptop, verify the external video port is activated. Try pressing Auto Image on the remote or keypad. Refer to the troubleshooting tables in the manual for more detailed solutions.
How do I replace the lamp on the LP850?
Turn off the projector, unplug it, and wait 60 minutes to cool. Remove the top cover by sliding the lever near the right speaker. Loosen the three captive screws on the lamp module, carefully remove it using the metal bail wire, and install the new lamp. Tighten screws, replace the cover, and reset the lamp timer via the Settings > Service menu or by holding Volume Down+Volume Up for 10 seconds.
How can I use the remote control to navigate presentations?
Point the remote at the projector or screen (up to 30 feet). Press Menu to open on-screen menus, use arrow keys to navigate, and Select to confirm. The Effect button can be assigned to functions like freeze, magnify, or blank. The Laser button emits a pointer (do not look into beam). For mouse control, connect the USB cable and install drivers.
Can I connect a Blu-ray player or game console to the projector?
Yes. Use the Component RCA (YPbPr) inputs for HDTV sources up to 1080i, or the S-Video or Composite RCA for standard definition. For audio, connect the corresponding stereo RCA audio inputs. Press Video on the keypad to cycle through video sources.
How do I clean the dust filter on the LP850?
Turn off and unplug the projector, wait 60 minutes to cool. Remove the dust filter grill on the side by pulling down the two tabs. Press the tab on the filter to lift it off. Clean with a vacuum on low power or a soft cloth. Reinstall the filter and grill, then reset the filter timer via Settings > Service > Filter Reset.
What does the flashing red Temp and Lamp LEDs mean?
If both LEDs blink simultaneously, the projector may need a dust filter clean (after 100 hours) or the temperature is outside operating range (0-35°C). If they blink alternately, the unit is below temperature specs. Check the LED behavior table in the manual for exact meanings and solutions.
How can I project from behind a screen or mount the projector on the ceiling?
In the Settings > System menu, enable Rear to reverse the image horizontally, and enable Ceiling to flip the image upside down. Ensure the projector is secured with an approved ceiling mount and that ventilation is not obstructed.
Can I control the projector over a network?
Yes. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 connector on the projector. Use the Network menu to set IP address (DHCP or manual). Then use InFocus ProjectorNet software or RS-232 commands to manage the projector remotely.
Why is the projected image fuzzy or cropped?
Set your computer's display resolution to match the projector's native resolution (1024x768 for LP850). Press Auto Image to adjust phase and tracking. Use the Focus button on the keypad to sharpen the image. If the image is cropped, adjust Horizontal/Vertical Position in the Picture > Advanced menu.

Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the projection screen.
  • Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
  • If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see "Ceiling" on page 35. We recommends using an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see the Accessories catalog that came with this projector or visit our website for more information.

- 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. For information about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on page 43.

- For the standard lens that comes with the projector, the image exits at a given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset variable. The image offset is 100% at a 10:0 ratio when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10' high, all 10' will appear above the center of the lens.

- The image offset is 50% when the lens shift is at a 1:1 ratio. This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 5' below the center of the lens.

- For information about the optional lenses image offsets, see "Projected image size" on page 43.

Using the remote control

The remote uses two (2) provided AAA batteries. They are easily installed by sliding the cover off the remote's back, aligning the + and - ends of the batteries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover.

To operate, point the remote at the projection screen or at the projector (not at the computer). The range of optimum operation is about 30 feet (9.14m). For best results, aim the remote directly at the projector.

To use the laser pointer, press and hold the Laser button. The laser turns off when the button is released, or times out after two (2) minutes of continuous operation.

WARNING: Do not look into the laser beam emitted from the top of the remote control.

The remote contains four Source buttons that allow you to assign a particular input to a specific source. Simply press the numbered Source buttons to travel to whatever four sources you wish to have available.

Press the remote's Menu button to open the projector's menu system. Use the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and adjust values in the menus.

The remote also has a power button to turn the projector on and off, volume buttons and a mute button to control the sound, a backlight button to light the remote's buttons in the dark, and a video and computer button to switch between those two sources.

Two presentation-specific features are also provided. Use the blank button to display a blank screen instead of the current slide; use the effect button to invoke a user-definable action, such as freeze, PiP, or magnify.

The Auto Image button reacquires the computer image and the Presets button lets you customize the settings for each source. Up to three Preset settings can be customized and saved.

Troubleshooting the remote

- Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are not dead. The LED at the top of the remote lights when any button is pressed when the battery power is adequate.

- Make sure you're pointing the remote at the projector, not the computer, and are within the remote range of 30 feet (9.14m).

- If you are trying to control your computer's mouse, make sure a mouse cable is connected. If using the USB cable that is part of the M1 cable, make sure the correct drivers are installed.

Using the audio

To play sound from the projector, connect your source to the Audio In connector on the projector.

To adjust the volume, use the buttons on the keypad or remote.

To adjust the balance, or loudness, use the Audio menu (see page 35).

To mute the sound, press the Mute button.

Troubleshooting audio

If there is no sound, check the following:

  • Make sure the audio cable is connected.
    • Make sure mute isn't active.
  • Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the volume button on the keypad or remote.
  • Make sure you are connected to the corresponding audio in for your source. Computer 1 and 3 share a single audio input. Computer 2 has its own audio input. Video 1, 2 and 3 share a single stereo input.
  • Adjust the audio source.
  • If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.

Maintenance

NOTE: When you are performing maintenance activities on your projector, keep in mind that you should only remove screws that are single-slot, or flathead, screws. Any other type of screw, such as a phillips or star should not be removed. These types of screws should only be removed by technical support experts.

Cleaning the lens

I Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don't apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion. If you don't intend to use the projector immediately, replace the lens cap.

Changing the lens

Long throw and short throw lenses are available with your projector.

I Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable.
2 Turn the projector upright with the lens facing upward and use a screw-driver to remove the two screws from the front bezel release holes on the bottom of the projector.
3 Lift off the front bezel.
4 Gently place a flathead screwdriver into the slot on the top of the projector (it is by the right speaker) and slide the small lever toward the right speaker. The cover that protects the lens and the lamp housing pops up.
5 Loosen the captive screw to the door that covers the lens housing.

The lamp housing is designed to contain these fragments, but use caution when removing the lamp housing. Before replacing the lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement. This product has a lamp which contains a very small amount of mercury. Dispose of it as required by local, state or federal ordinances and regulations. For more information see www.eiae.org.

5 Carefully remove the lamp module by grasping and lifting the metal bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.

6 Install the new lamp module, making sure that it is properly seated, and tighten the three captive screws.

7 Replace the cover over the lamp module by inserting the tabs into the tab bays and pushing the rest of the cover down into place.

8 Plug in the power cable, press the power switch then press the Power button to turn the projector back on. Reset the lamp hour timer.

Resetting the lamp timer

If the lamp timer has reached the maximum number of hours for the projector lamp, the LED on the projector's keypad will show a lamp error (see "LED Behavior" on page 44). To reset the lamp timer, simultaneously press the decrease volume button and increase volume button on the keypad for 10 seconds. At that point the LED will turn green and you can power on the projector. You can also navigate to the Settings>Service menu and select Lamp Reset to reset the lamp timer.

RS-232 commands

Communication Configuration

Visit our website for additional RS-232 settings and information.

To control this projector via RS-232, connect a null modem cable and set the control system serial port settings to match the following communication configuration:

RS-232 Port Settings
Setting Value
Bits per second 19,200
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
Emulation VT100

Command Format

All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all enclosed in parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a "?") or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).

A read request example:

(AAA?) where

( starts the command

AAA denotes the command

? denotes the read request

) ends the command

A read command returns the range and the current setting, for example:

Read Command Examples
Function CommandResponse
Brightness (BRT?) (96-1)60,128)
Volume (VOL?) (0-32, 0)
Lamp Hours(LMP?)(0-65534, 42)

A write request example:

(AAA#####) where

(starts the command

AAA denotes the command

#### denotes the value to be written

(leading zeros not necessary)

) ends the command

Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function. If a command is received that is not understood, a "?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0" is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.

To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

Write Command Examples
Function CommandResponse
Brightness (BRT140) Sets the brightness to 140
Power (PWRO) Turns power off
Power (PWRI) Turns power on

Error Conditions

Not all commands are supported for all projectors. If an unsupported command is issued, the command will be ignored. If a command is received that is not understood, a '?' character will be returned indicating the command was not understood.

Limitations

The projector cannot respond to commands coming in at a high-rate. Therefore, a delay must occur between commands to ensure that the command gets properly executed. To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next command.

The Step column refers to increasing or decreasing the menu bar position since the On-screen Display is not an exact match of values. For example, Step 2 changes the data by 2 through the CLI (Command Line Interface). The menu bar is up (or down) by 1.

Limited Warranty

Subject to the Limitations, Exclusions and Disclaimers hereof, InFocus Corporation ("InFocus") warrants that the Projector, Lamps and Accessories (hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as "Product" as appropriate) purchased from InFocus, an InFocus distributor, or an InFocus reseller will conform to InFocus' specifications and be free from defects in material or workmanship for the respective Limited Warranty period provided below. This warranty statement applies only to the specific InFocus product purchased. InFocus products are compatible with many systems, however the specific functional implementation by the customers of the product may vary. The suitability of a product for a specific purpose or application must be determined by the customer and is not warranted by InFocus Corporation. If the Product, while subject to this Limited Warranty, is defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period, then InFocus, at its option, will REPAIR or REPLACE the Product.

All exchanged parts and Products replaced under this Limited Warranty will become property of InFocus. InFocus' sole obligation is to supply (or pay for) all labor necessary to repair the Product found to be defective within the Limited Warranty period and to repair or replace defective parts with new parts or, at the option of InFocus, serviceable used parts that are equivalent or superior to new parts performance. Limited Warranty periods are as follows:

  • Projector Product Limited Warranty Period (Excluding Lamps) : Two (2) years from date of proof of purchase.
  • Lamp Product Limited Warranty Periods: The original installed lamp shall have a ninety (90) day Limited Warranty Period from date of Projector proof of purchase, and replacement Lamps will have a ninety (90) day limited warranty from date of lamp proof of purchase, and replacement lamps purchased at the time of Projector Product purchase will have a ninety (90) day limited warranty from date of first use.
  • Accessory Product Limited Warranty Period: ninety (90) days from date of purchase.

WARRANTY LIMITATION AND EXCLUSION

THIS WARRANTY SETS FORTH INFOCUS' MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ITS PRODUCT. THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS ONLY TO PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM INFOCUS OR AN INFOCUS AUTHORIZED RESELLER. InFocus shall have no further obligation under the foregoing Limited Warranty if the Product has been damaged due to abuse, improper ventilation, fire, water, disaster, mispackaging, shipping, lightning or other acts of nature, misuse, neglect, smoke exposure (cigarette or otherwise), accident, unusual physical or electrical stress and/or power surges, unauthorized modifications (including use of an unauthorized mount), tampering, alterations, service other than by InFocus or its authorized agents, or failure caused other than from ordinary use or failure to properly use the Product in the application for which said Product was intended. In addition, failure of the end-user to follow maintenance procedures as outlined in the product's user guide where a schedule is specified for regular cleaning of certain parts (based on usage and environment), will not be covered under this Warranty. Finally, InFocus shall have no further obligation if the Product was subjected to operating conditions outside of the range specified in the user's guide or in this Warranty. Normal operating conditions are defined as use not in excess of 16 hours continuously per day with a minimum 8 hour period of continuous rest in the powered off state. If a claimed defect cannot be identified or reproduced in service, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred. This Limited Warranty excludes Product cleaning, removal or installation of the Product, repair, or replacement of plastics due to cosmetic damage and damage as a result of normal wear. Product repair outside of the terms of the Limited Warranty will be on a time and materials basis. InFocus will not be liable for any rental costs incurred in the event of a failure. The Warranty does not apply to cartons, carrying cases, shipping cases, external cabinets, accessories used in connection with the product, or cosmetic parts, knobs, or batteries. The Warranty period for LCD engines is either 2 years from the date of purchase of the projector or 2500 hours of projector usage, whichever comes first. If the LCD engine requires replacement and the projector has exceeded 2500 hours, but is otherwise eligible for Warranty, this Warranty will cover the cost of labor, but not the cost of parts that require replacement.

The Accessory Product Limited Warranty covers the accessory item only and excludes normal wear. The Lamp Product Limited Warranty excludes expected lamp degradation and InFocus will not be liable for normal decrease in lamp output over time or as lamp is consumed under the Limited Warranty.

Remanufactured Products and Software Products are exempt from the foregoing Limited Warranty. Please refer to the appropriate Remanufactured Product Limited Warranty or Software Product Limited Warranty for applicable Warranty information.

DISCLAIMER OF UNSTATED WARRANTIES

THE WARRANTY PRINTED ABOVE IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THIS PRODUCT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES THAT EXTEND BEYOND THE DESCRIPTION ON THE FACE HEREOF AND THE FOREGOING WARRANTY SHALL NOT BE EXTENDED. ALTERED OR VARIED EXCEPT BY WRITTEN INSTRUMENT SIGNED BY INFOCUS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY MAY LAST, SO SUCH LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Limited Warranty Period

The Limited Warranty periods hereof commence on the date of proof of purchase by the end-user customer. These Limited Warranty provisions shall apply only to the end-user purchaser (first person or entity that purchased a new Product for personal or business use and not for the purpose of distribution or resale). SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY GRANT YOU CONSUMER RIGHTS WITH MINIMUM WARRANTY DURATION THAT DIFFER FROM THE DURATIONS PROVIDED HEREIN, AND INFOCUS WILL HONOR ALL SUCH CONSUMER RIGHTS UPON PROOF OF PURCHASE IN THAT JURISDICTION.

To Be Eligible For Limited Warranty Coverage

Any person exercising a claim under this Limited Warranty must establish to the satisfaction of InFocus both the date of purchase and that the Product was purchased new. The sales receipt or invoice, showing the date of purchase of the Product is the proof of the date of purchase.

To Obtain Warranty Service

During the Limited Warranty period, to exercise this Limited Warranty, the purchaser must first contact 1) InFocus, 2) a service facility authorized by InFocus or 3) the place of original purchase.

InFocus Customer Service in the Americas 1-800-799-9911 or 503-685-8888 or www.infocus.com/service, In Europe, Middle East, and Africa +31 (0) 20 579 2820, and in Asia Pacific +65 6353 9449.

When returning Product to InFocus, a Return Material Authorization Number (RMA #) is required and must be clearly displayed on the outside of the shipping carton or a similar package affording an equal degree of protection. InFocus or the service facility authorized by InFocus will return the repaired/replaced Product freight prepaid to the purchaser.

Products returned for Warranty service must be accompanied by a written letter that: (i) explains the problem; (ii) provides proof of date of purchase; (iii) provides the dealer's name; and (iv) provides the model and serial number of the Product.

No repair or replacement of Product or part thereof shall extend the Limited Warranty period as to the entire Product. Warranty on the repair part and workmanship shall only be effective for a period of ninety (90) days following the repair or replacement of that part or the remaining period of the Product Limited Warranty whichever is greater. InFocus' or its authorized service center's policies shall apply and the Consumer will be charged accordingly for product returned to an InFocus Authorized Service Center after the expiration of the warranty period.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT INFOCUS' LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE RETURN OF THE AMOUNT OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY PURCHASER Where applicable national law prohibits the exclusion or limitation of liability, InFocus excludes or limits its liability to the maximum extent permitted by national law.
