Frequently Asked Questions - mp2215 HP

How do I replace the lamp in the HP mp2215?

To replace the lamp, first turn off the projector and unplug it. Wait at least 45 minutes for it to cool. Remove the lamp cover screw and slide the cover off. Loosen the lamp module screws, lift the handle, and gently pull out the old lamp. Insert the new lamp module, tighten screws, replace cover, and plug in. Reset the lamp timer via the on-screen menu: go to Settings > Lamp Hours > Reset.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Clean the air filter every 100 hours of use or when the filter warning indicator appears. Use a vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust from the filter. Do not wash the filter; if it is heavily soiled, replace it. A clogged filter can cause overheating and reduce lamp life.

What is the native resolution of the mp2215?

The HP mp2215 has a native resolution of XGA (1024 x 768). It can also accept and scale signals up to UXGA (1600 x 1200) and supports 720p/1080i HD formats.

How can I connect external speakers to the projector?

The projector has an audio output port (3.5mm jack). Connect external speakers or an amplifier to this port using a standard audio cable. Note that the projector has a built-in mono speaker (2W), but for better sound, external speakers are recommended.

Why does the projector not turn on?

First, ensure the power cord is properly connected and the outlet works. Check if the power indicator is lit. If the lamp indicator is flashing, the lamp may be at end of life or faulty. Also, check if the Lid Switch is engaged (if the lamp cover is not closed properly, the projector will not start). Try unplugging for 30 seconds and plugging back in.

How do I adjust keystone correction?

Press the Keystone button on the remote or control panel. Use the arrow keys to adjust vertical keystone within ±15°. The projector may also have an auto-keystone function in the menu. Correct keystone ensures a rectangular image even when the projector is tilted.

What is the recommended projection distance for a 100-inch screen?

For a 100-inch diagonal screen (16:9 aspect ratio), the recommended projection distance is approximately 3.0 to 3.5 meters (based on throw ratio 1.5-1.8:1). For a 4:3 screen, the distance may be slightly less. Use the zoom ring to fine-tune the image size.

Can I mount the HP mp2215 on the ceiling?

Yes, the projector supports ceiling mounting. Use a standard projector mount with VESA mounting points (typically 3 or 4 holes). Ensure the mount can support the projector's weight (2.5 kg). Also, enable Ceiling Mount mode in the OSD settings (System Setup > Projector Install > Ceiling Mount) to flip the image upside down.

How do I reset the lamp timer after replacing the lamp?

After lamp replacement, go to the OSD menu: select Settings or System Setup, then Lamp Hours or Lamp Timer. Press Enter and select Reset. Confirm by selecting Yes. This ensures accurate tracking of lamp usage.

What video inputs are compatible with the mp2215?

The mp2215 accepts analog inputs: VGA (D-Sub 15-pin) from PCs, Composite Video (RCA) from standard video sources, and S-Video (4-pin mini DIN) from DVD players or game consoles. It does not have HDMI or digital inputs. For digital sources, use a VGA converter.

Image size relative to distance from the screen

Image size (diagonal) Image size (width) Distance (lens to screen)
(inches) (meters) (inches) (meters) (feet, inches) (meters)
40 1.0 32 0.8 5' 4" to 6' 2" 1.6 to 1.9
60 1.5 48 1.2 8' 0" to 9' 2" 2.4 to 2.8
80 2.0 64 1.6 10' 8" to 12' 3" 3.3 to 3.7
100 2.5 80 2.0 13' 4" to 15' 4" 4.1 to 4.7
120 3.0 96 2.4 16' 0" to 18' 5" 4.9 to 5.6
150	3.8	120	3.0	20' 0" to 23' 0"	6.1 to 7.0
180	4.6	144	3.7	24' 0" to 27' 7"	7.3 to 8.4
200 5.1 160 4.1 26' 8" to 30' 8"		8.1 to 9.3
240	6.1	192	4.9	32' 0" to 33' 0"	9.8 to 10.0

If you do not want to use the distance table, you can use the following equations to help determine where to install the projector relative to the screen.

Calculating projection distances

distance from lens to screen = A × width of screen

minimum and maximum distance from screen = B

width of screen = 0.8 × diagonal of screen (for 3:4 screen)

projector lens below bottom of screen = C × width of screen (for 4:3 screen)

A = 2.0 to 2.3

B = 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft)

C = 0.11 to 0.50

Connecting power

1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) in front of the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen.

2. Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector ① and the other end to a grounded electrical outlet ②.

If you want to permanently install the projector on a table or behind the screen, see "Installing the projector" on page 47.

4 Maintaining the Projector

Performing routine maintenance

Getting the projector status

To get the projector status:

▲ Press the enter button on the projector or remote control and go to Help.

This screen shows information and status for the projector.

Cleaning the projector and lens

You can clean the projector housing using a soft, dry cloth.

You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.

• To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.
• If this method does not work, use the following method:

a. Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and forth across the lens.

b. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.

CAUTION: Cleaning requires special consideration:

• Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Cleaners might damage the lens.
• Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the surface of the lens.
• Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time because doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Replacing the lamp module

As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.

WARNING! Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:

• To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.
• This digital projector lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred, discard any nearby food and drink, and thoroughly clean the table surface around the projector. Wash your hands after cleaning the area or handling a broken lamp. Disposal of this lamp may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org). You can find safety information about the lamp at:

www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata

- Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30 minutes before removing the lamp module.

1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Turn the projector over onto a soft surface.
4. Loosen the two screws ① holding the lamp cover and remove the cover.

1. Loosen the two screws ② on the lamp module, and pull out the module ③.

2. Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the two screws.

3. Install the cover and tighten the two screws.

4. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp.

5. Press enter, go to Setup > Reset lamp hours, and press enter.

Replacing the battery in the remote control

1. Use a ballpoint pen to hold the battery latch toward the center, then pull out the battery holder ①.
2. Insert the new battery ② in the holder.
3. Push the holder ③ into the remote control.

When discarding old batteries, contact your local waste-disposal provider regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries.

Upgrading the projector

Updating the firmware

HP might periodically release updated versions of the projector firmware to enhance the projector performance. The projector firmware version is shown in the on-screen menu at Help.

USB method

1. On a computer with a USB port, go to www.hp.com/support, select your region, select the software download option, and type your projector model number in the product box.
2. Download the latest file intended for a USB upgrade.
3. Connect a USB cable (available from HP) between the USB port on the projector and the USB port on the computer.
4. On the computer, run the file you downloaded by double-clicking the file. Follow the on-screen instructions.

5 Installing Permanently

Installing the projector

Choosing cables

If you are permanently installing the projector or using it with long cables, consider the following suggestions when planning the installation:

• Use high-quality cables. Use only video cables that are made with 75-ohm coaxial cable and connectors. For high-resolution video, use low-loss video cables.
• Minimize cable length as much as possible. For video cables longer than 6 m (20 ft), use low-loss coaxial cables.
• Do not run audio or video cables next to power or network cables. If they must cross, cross them at 90 degrees.
• If you are installing cables in walls, use cables with necessary approvals, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) approval.
• If you are running cables above a dropped ceiling, you must use plenum-rated cables if the space above the ceiling is open to the space above other rooms. You must use plenum-rated cables if you are running cables in a duct.
• Before installing cables permanently, check the setup with the final cables in the open.

Installing on a table

This installation is covered in detail in Chapter 1. See "Setting up the projector" on page 13 for more information.

Installing for rear projection

1. Place the projector 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) behind a translucent screen that is designed for rear projection.

See "Setting up the projector" on page 13 for more instructions.

1. Press enter, go to Setup > Picture orientation. Then select Rear Normal.

Locking the projector

The projector includes a built in slot to secure the projector with a cable and lock (such as the Kensington MicroSaver lock system, available at many computer stores).

1. Wrap the cable around a secure object, such as a table leg. Loop the cable to create a slip knot around the stationary object, and be sure it cannot slip off.

2. Insert the lock ① into the hole and twist the key ②.

6 Fixing Problem

Troubleshooting suggestions

If you have a problem with your projector, check the following statement that most closely matches the nature of the problem, then look in that section of this chapter:

• "Warning light problems" on page 49
