Frequently Asked Questions - cClear XG1 PHILIPS

How do I connect my laptop to the Philips cClear XG1 projector?
Use the supplied VGA/USB cable. Connect the VGA end to the Data 2 input on the projector and the other end to your laptop's VGA output. For mouse control, also connect the USB end from the projector to a USB port on your laptop. Then press the Source button on the projector or remote to select 'RGB sync' or 'Auto'.
Why is the projected image distorted (keystone effect)?
If the projector is not aligned perpendicular to the screen, the image will have a keystone distortion (trapezoid shape). Use the Keystone buttons on the projector or the 'Keystone' option in the Settings menu to correct it. The projector adjusts digitally to straighten the image.
How do I replace the lamp on the cClear XG1?
Turn off the projector, disconnect the mains lead, and wait 5 minutes for cooling. Place projector on a soft surface. Push tab A on the bottom to open the lamp door. Unscrew screw B, then pull the lamp holder out by its handle. Insert the new lamp (Philips LCA 3123/00) into the guiding slots, tighten screw, close door. Reconnect power and reset the lamp counter via Settings > Lamp counter press OK for 3 seconds.
What does the orange lamp indicator mean?
The orange lamp indicator means the lamp life has almost expired (less than 100 hours remaining). You will see a warning message on-screen. Replace the lamp soon to avoid interrupted operation. The lamp indicator turns red when life is fully expired.
Can I use the projector with a DVD player?
Yes. Connect the DVD player's composite video output to the CVBS (Video) input, or S-Video to the S-Video input, or component output to the Component in (Pr/Y/Pb) jacks. For audio, connect the red/white RCA cables to the Video Audio L/R inputs. Select the corresponding source using the Source button.
Why is there no sound from the projector?
Check that the audio cable is properly connected. Adjust the Volume using the + and - buttons. If the sound is muted, press the A/V Mute button to cancel mute. For USB audio, ensure the computer selects USB as the active audio output in its sound settings.
How do I clean the dust filter?
Turn off and unplug the projector. Place it on a soft surface with the filter side up. Press tab A and remove the filter holder. Open the holder by pressing clamp C, remove the filter, and gently vacuum dust from the dirty side. Reinsert the filter, close the holder, and snap it back. Clean every 100 hours; replace if damaged (Philips part 3122 434 01570).
The remote control is not working. What should I do?
First, check that batteries (2 AAA) are installed correctly and not exhausted. Reduce distance to projector (max 15 m). Ensure the IR sensor on the projector is not blocked. If using mouse functions via USB or PS/2, verify the cable connection and that the computer recognizes the device. Press OK for 10 seconds to disable Key lock if activated.
How do I display two sources at the same time (PIP or double window)?
Press the Window Mode button on the remote to cycle between Default, PIP (picture-in-picture), and Double Window (side-by-side). In the Display menu, select the second source under 'Second Source'. Use Window Select to adjust the active window. Not all source combinations are supported; refer to the compatibility table in the manual.
What is SmartSave and how does it work?
SmartSave is an energy-saving feature available on SV10 and XG1 Brilliance versions. If no signal is detected for 30 minutes, the projector automatically switches to Power/Standby mode. You can adjust this delay time in the Settings menu under 'SmartSave'. This reduces power consumption and extends lamp life.

4. Installation

General

General information

Computer input

The computer input is suitable for both Apple Macintosh computers (Power Book and Power Mac) as well as for IBM compatible PCs. The projector is Microsoft (R), Windows (R) 95/98/ME/2000/XP compatible and accepts input signals from all computers that meet following specifications:

  • Multi scan VGA-SXGA • Horizontal scan rate: 15-108 kHz • Vertical refresh rate: 50-120 Hz • Bandwidth: 140 MHz • Display Data Channel DDC: 1/2B

Analog (VGA) connection

The data (VGA) output of IBM compatible PCs can be connected directly to the Data 2 input of the projector using standard data cables. When connecting the projector to a Macintosh computer equipped with a 2-row, 15-pin connector, a VGA/MAC adaptor (available at your PC store) is required. If your computer is equipped with a 3-row connector, no adaptor is needed.

The Data 2 input socket accepts input signals of the following formats: 480p, 720p, 1080i, RGBHV, and RGBSOG.

Digital (DVI) connection

The DVI input socket (Data 1) allows direct digital connection to your computer. Digital-to-analog conversion by means of an adaptor is therefore no longer necessary, and the computer is automatically optimized to work with the projector, resulting in the highest possible picture quality. The socket is also backward compatible with analog computers (via the DVI-I/VGA adapter supplied) and accepts input signals of the following formats: RGBHV (analog), RGBSOG (analog), and DVI (digital).

RS-232 connection

When RS-232 connection is used, the projector can be operated via an RS-232 control system, and the projector status can be checked on the control system screen. See the RS-232 protocol file (ProjectorMax) on the CD-ROM on how to include projector commands in an external control system.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector allows you to connect to computers equipped with a USB interface, resulting in real hot plug and play presentation.

Mouse control:

By connecting USB, the mouse function on the Remote Control automatically gets installed.

You can now manipulate the mouse cursor on the computer and on the screen, using Cursor Control on the remote control. The Mouse Left/Right keys on the remote control function as Left and Right mouse keys of your PC.

Audio (only with bSure2 Brilliance version);

Audio information from the computer will be heard via the projector speaker.

Drag and drop facility:

Drag and drop via the remote control works slightly differently than via the PC mouse. Here's how:

- Use Cursor Control to select the item to be moved.

- Press and keep pressed Mouse Left.

- Use Cursor Control to move the selected item. Then release Mouse Left.

- The item will now be moved.

- Press Mouse Left when the item reaches the required location.

- The item will now be dropped.

Theft deterrence (PC only)

The SecurityMax™ application, supplied on the CD-ROM, allows you to take a number of precautions against unauthorized use of your projector. Once the application is installed, you can, for example, set your own code-protected personal start-up screen and shutdown timer which make theft unattractive to any potential thief. You only need to run the SecurityMax™ software on the PC that is connected to your projector via the Universal Serial Bus. For this feature, see the 'SecurityMax' user guide on the CD-ROM.

4. Installation

General information

Notes

— Mouse control and 'drag and drop' is also possible when PS/2 connection has been made. - Based on the specific hardware and software configuration available, Apple Macintosh computer users could experience incomplete or erratic USB functionality. These problems are not related to the performance of your projector.

External monitor connection

A separate external monitor (or a second projector) can be connected to the projector, using the VGA-Y cable supplied. The image projected is simultaneously shown on the monitor, even when the projector is in Power/Standby or Off mode.

Wireless image transfer

(Clear Wireless version only)

The 'PresenterMax' application, supplied on the CD-ROM, allows wireless transmission of screen images and graphic files from your computer (PC only) to the projector. For installation and operation see the 'PresenterMax' user guide on the CD-ROM.

Note

'PresenterMax' can also be downloaded directly from the projector via Internet Explorer. For this see the 'PresenterMax' user guide on the CD-ROM.

Video input

The projector accepts the input signal of all major video formats: CVBS: NTSC 3.58, 4.43, PAL B, G, D, H, I, N, M and SECAM B, D, G, K, K1, L. S-VHS:Y/C. Component video: RGBY, 480i, 576i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. EDTV/HDTV: 480p, 575p, 720p/(50/60), 1035i/(30), 1080i/(25/30/AUS), 1080p/(30).

The projector will recognize these standards and adapt to them automatically. With the 'Picture Format' feature you can select one of six picture format options: wide screen, super zoom 4:3, 4:3, movie expand 14:9, movie expand 16:9, 16:9 subtitles.

Stereo Audio Output

A standard 3.5 mm audio plug is available for connecting external audio equipment via a standard 3.5 mm stereo plug. Constant ('Line') or variable ('Regulated') audio output volume can be selected in the 'Audio' menu.

CAUTION

Always switch off projector and external equipment before making any connections.

4. Installation
