Ceiling mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

Connecting video source devices

You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the video source device as described below:

Terminal name	Terminal appearance	Picture quality
HDMI Best
Component Video Better
S-Video Good
Video Normal

Connecting audio

The projector has two built-in speaker which are designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications.

The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.

If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.

Device Audio input port		The projector can play the sound from...	Audio output port
COMPUTER-1 AUDIO-1 AUDIO-1 AUDIO OUT
COMPUTER-2/ COMPUTER-3/ DVI-D	AUDIO IN-2 (mini jack)	AUDIO IN-2 (mini jack)	AUDIO OUT
COMPONENT AUDIO-3 (L/R) AUDIO-3 (L/R) AUDIO OUT
S-VIDEO/VIDEO AUDIO-4 AUDIO-4 AUDIO OUT
HDMI HDMI HDMI AUDIO OUT
DISPLAY PORT	DISPLAY PORT	DISPLAY PORT	AUDIO OUT
The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select the COMPUTER-2/COMPUTER-3/DVI-D signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN-2 mini jack. If you select the COMPONENT signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN-3 (L/R).

3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

I. Go to the Picture menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
2. Press ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.
3. Highlight Primary color and press ◀/▶ to select a color from among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.
4. Press ▼ to highlight Hue and press ◀/▶ to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.

Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each other.

For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red in the projected picture will be selected. Increasing its range will include red close to yellow and red close to magenta.

1. Press ▼ to highlight Saturation and adjust its values to your preference by pressing ◀/▶. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

1. Press ▼ to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by pressing ◀/▶. The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

2. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.

3. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments.

4. Press MENU to exit and save the settings.

• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

When you carry the projector yourself, please use the original box or a suitable soft carry case.

Lamp information

Getting to know the lamp hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:

Lamp hour = Total lamp hour

= X*(hours used in Normal mode) + Y*(hours used in Eco mode)

X = lamp life spec of LampSave /lamp life spec of Normal mode

Y = lamp life spec of LampSave /lamp life spec of Eco mode

See "Setting Lamp mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.

To obtain the lamp hour information:

I. Press MENU and then press ◀/▶ until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.
2. Press ▼ to highlight Lamp Settings and press ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.
3. You will see the Lamp Information information displaying on the menu.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU.

You can also get the Lamp Usage Time on the INFORMATION menu.

Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

Setting Lamp mode as Economic

Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.

Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp mode menu and press ◀/▶ until your desired mode is selected.

Lamp mode Description
