INSTALLATION2

This section describes how to set up your MultiSync MT1000 LCD projector and how to connect video and audio sources.

Setting Up Your MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector

Your MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:

1. Determine the image size
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you can project your image.

Carrying The LCD Projector Always carry your LCD projector by the handle. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables connecting to video sources are disconnected before moving the projector. When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with the lens cap.

Selecting A Location The further your LCD projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 20" (0.5 m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 3 feet (1.0 m) from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m) when the projector is about 40.03 feet (12.2 m) from the wall or screen.

Projection Distance and Image Size

Using A Tabletop Or Cart

1. Place your LCD projector on a flat level surface at the optimal distance from the screen or wall so you realize the size image you want. (Avoid having bright room lighting or sun light directly on the screen or wall where you'll be projecting the image.)
2. Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the projector on. (If no input signal is available, the projector will display a background image.)
3. Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.
4. Move the projector left or right to center the image horizontally on the screen. (A)
5. To center the image vertically (B), lift the front edge of the projector and press the buttons on the front of the projector, just above the feet, to release the one-touch tilt feet. (There is approximately 10.5° of up and down adjustment for the front of the projector.)

1. Toffinetune the image's position vertically on the screen, rotate each front foot.
2. Inocase or reduce the size of the projected image by pressing the "Zoom" (+) or (−) buttons on the remote control or top of the cabinet.

WARNING

• Only use your LCD projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector falls to the ground, you can be injured and the projector severely damaged.
• Do not use the LCD projector where temperatures vary greatly. The projector must be used at temperatures between 32^ (0^) and 104^ (40^) .
• Do not expose the LCD projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will harm the screen image.

- Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your LCD projector so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the bottom or the side of the projector.

Ceiling Installation

Installing your MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified technician. Contact your NEC dealer for more information.

Do not attempt to install the projector yourself.

NOTE : Distances may vary ±5%.

If your projector is mounted on the ceiling and your image is upside down, use the "Menu" and "Select" buttons on your projector cabinet or (▲) (▼) buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page 60.)

Reflecting The Image

Using a mirror to reflect your LCD projector's image enables you to enjoy a much larger image. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a mirror.

If you're using a mirror and your image is inverted, use the "Menu" and "Select" buttons on your projector cabinet or (▲) (▼) buttons on your remote control to correct the orientation. (See page 60.)

Rear Screen Projection

You can use your MultiSync MT1000 LCD projector to project an image from the rear onto a transparent screen. The distance the projector must be from the screen is the same as if you were projecting the image from the front. Contact your NEC dealer if you need a transparent screen.

If you're projecting the image from the rear and your image is inverted, use the "Menu" and "Select" buttons on your projector cabinet or (▲) (▼) buttons on your remote control to correct the image. (See page 60.)

Remote Control Guideline

1. Plug the serial cable with the remote mouse receiver into your computer's mouse port and restart your computer to gain remote mouse control.
2. When using the remote control's built-in infrared mouse on a laptop computer, the laptop's mouse, trackball or trackpad will be disabled. Disconnect the infrared receiver and restart your computer to regain trackball or trackpad mouse control.
3. If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computer's screen-saver or power management software. If you accidentally hit the OFF button on the remote control, wait one full minute and then press the ON button to resume.

Connecting Your PC Or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector will enable you to project your computer's screen image for an impressive presentation. All of these following display standards are supported:

VGA 640×480 for graphics	VGA 640×400 for graphics
VGA 640×350 for graphics VGA	720×400 for text
VGA 720×350 for text SVGA 800	×600
XGA 1024×768 Macintosh at 1024	×768
Macintosh at 640×480 Macintosh at 832×624

To connect to a PC, Macintosh or computer equipped with an XGA/SVGA/VGA adapter or compatible graphics adapter, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your LCD projector and computer.

2. If your PC does not support XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer's owner's manual for your XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3. Use the MultiCable that's supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh computer to the LCD projector. For a PC, use the smaller 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to your computer's video port; use the larger 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to the projector's RGB 1 input. For Macintosh, use the larger 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to your computer's video port; use the smaller 15-pin connector on the cable to connect to the projector's RGB 2 input. (You can also use your own video cable if you wish. For a PC cable, use the smaller 15-pin connector RGB 2 on the projector. For a Macintosh cable, use the larger 15-pin connector RGB 1 on the projector.)

4. Turn on the LCD projector and the computer.

5. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you've connected to the projector.

NOTE: Refer to your computer's owner's manual for more information about your computer's video output requirements and any special identification or configuring your projector's image and monitor may require.

Changing Video Resolutions

Depending on your computer's graphic capability, you may be able to select one of several resolutions. Generally a computer- either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 meg. of memory will run:

640×480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor)

800 × 600 at 65 thousand colors.

1024×768 at 256 colors.

As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run decreases. With 2 meg. of memory a computer will run:

640×480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).

800 × 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit Truecolor).

1024×768 at 65 thousand colors.

1280 × 1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook Computers And Resolution Standards

NEC projectors are designed to project industry standardized video such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or VGA (Video Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not use industry standards. They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local LCD display. The end result is typically not standards. By turning off your notebook's display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the real VESA or VGA signal.

For an optimal projected image with a notebook computer, it is recommended that you use the CUSTOM 6 memory data. This feature is useful when an XGA image (1024×768) is displaying with a notebook computer supported by SXGA (1280×1024). See Source Menu on page 52 for more information.

Connecting Your Document Camera

You can connect your MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector to a document camera. To do so, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your LCD projector and document camera.
2. Use a standard video cable to connect your document camera to the Video input on your projector.
3. Turn on the LCD projector and the document camera.

NOTE: Refer to your document camera's owner's manual for more information about your camera's video output requirements.

Connecting Your VCR Or Laser Disc Player

Use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect your VCR or laser disc player to your MultiSync MT1000 LCD Projector. To make these connections, simply:

1. Turn off the power to your LCD projector and VCR or laser disc player.
2. Connect one end of your RCA cable to the video output connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc player, connect the other end to the Video input on your projector. Use standard RCA audio patch cords to connect the audio from your VCR or laser disc player to your projector (if your VCR or laser disc player has this capability). Be careful to keep your right and left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
3. Turn on the LCD projector and the VCR or laser disc player.

NOTE: Refer to your VCR or laser disc player owner's manual for more information about your equipment's video output requirements.
