Positioning the projector and screen

Switching on the projector

• Place the projector on a stable, level surface, out of direct sunlight and away from sources of excessive dust, dirt, heat, water, moisture, vibration and strong magnetic fields.
• Allow sufficient cooling of the product by keeping all air inlets and outlets clear from obstructions. • Position the projector in such a way that the viewers cannot watch into the projector light beam.
• Choose a screen size suitable for the number of viewers and the size of the room.
• Picture quality is best when you sit directly in front of the projector screen.
• The projector can be used for both front projection, rear projection and ceiling projection applications. As default factory setting, the projector has been set up for front projection. You can change to rear or ceiling projection via the 'Mirror' function in the 'Picture' menu.

Multimedia Projectors

Warning

If the projector is switched off you have to wait 1 minute before switching on the projector again to allow adequate time for the lamp to cool down.

Press stand-by key again to confirm. Press OK key to remove this warning.

Notes

4 Press the Standby button to switch the projector back into the Power/Standby mode.

– The Standby Warning screen will appear for 20 seconds.

- The Standby Warning screen can be removed by pressing the OK button.

5 Press the Standby button again to confirm.

- The projector will now go into Power/Standby mode.

You can also press the Standby button twice in succession to switch the projector into Power/Standby mode immediately.

6 To switch off the mains supply completely, disconnect the mains lead.

Save energy! Please put the projector in the Power/Standby position if you are not going to use the projector for more than 15 minutes.

When no signal inputs are detected for 30 minutes, the projector automatically switches to Power/Standby (Auto Standby). This setting can be changed in the 'Settings' menu.

Before disconnecting the mains lead, make sure that the cooling fan has stopped (about 3 minutes after the projector has been switched to Power/Standby).

3. Set up

Adjusting the focus and size of the image

Adjusting the vertical angle of the projector

• Use the Zoom ring to adjust the size of the image.
• Use the Focus ring to adjust the focus of the image.

To raise:

• Keep knob A pressed and lift to raise the projector. – The Height/Level Adjuster B will come out.

To Lower:

• Keep knob A pressed and gently lower the projector.
• Use the Focus Ring and Zoom Ring to readjust the focus and size of the image.

Keystone correction

If projector and screen are not properly placed, the picture will be distorted, producing a keystoned image (picture top width larger than picture bottom width or vice versa). When a keystoned image occurs the 4:3 ratio will still be guaranteed. This is especially important when the projector is being used together with an 'intelligent whiteboard'.

'Keystone correction' allows you to correct picture distortion of the vertical keystone type by internal scaling. This correction function is accessible through the 'Keystone Correction' option in the 'Settings' menu of the On Screen Display (OSD) menu.

Moving/transporting the projector

Preparation

1 Press the Standby button twice to put the projector in Power/Standby. – The Standby indicator starts blinking orange. 2 Wait until the cooling fan has stopped (about 3 minutes after the projector has been put in Standby) and disconnect the mains lead and all other cables. 3 Put the lens cap back in place to prevent dust, dirt or other contamination from harming or damaging the front of the projector lens when moving the projector.

Note

Never place the projector on the side where the connections are located.

Moving/transporting the projector

The projector contains many glass and precision parts. If you need to transport the projector, please follow these packing instructions to prevent accidental damage to the projector.

• When you are hand-carrying the projector, be sure to use a carrying case like the optional softbag.
• When shipping the projector, use the original packaging material if possible. If you do not have the original packaging, use equivalent materials, placing plenty of cushioning around the projector.
• When transporting the projector as freight or checked luggage, first put it in a carrying case, then pack it in a firm box, using cushioning around the case.

Inserting the batteries in the remote control

Note

1 Push and slide the lid in the direction of the arrow. 2 Install two 'AAA' batteries as indicated inside the battery compartment. 3 Replace the lid and snap it into place.

The maximum range of the remote control is approximately 15 m (± 50 feet).

4. Installation

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 The data output of IBM compatible PCs can be connected directly to 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.

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 different than via the pc mouse. Here' 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 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 Security Max™ software on the pc that is connected to your projector via the Universal Serial Bus. For this see the 'Security Max' user guide on the CD-ROM.

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. The image projected is simultaneously shown on the monitor, even when the projector is in Power/Standby or Off mode.

Video input

The projector accepts the input signal of all major video formats, including NTSC 3.58, 4.43, PAL B, G, D, H, I, N, M and SECAM signals. The projector will recognize these standards and adapt to them automatically. With the 'Picture format' feature you can select one of five picture format options 4:3, 16:9, 16:9 enlarged, 4:3 on a 16:9 screen or 16:9 on a 4:3 screen.

CAUTION
