Important
In the connections shown above, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Package Contents" on page 6). They are commercially available from electronics stores.
■ The connection illustrations above are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks available on the projector vary with each projector model.
■ For detailed connection methods, see pages 18-21.
Connecting a computer or monitor
Connecting a computer
The projector provides two VGA input sockets that allow you to connect them to both IBM ^® compatibles and Macintosh ^® computers. A Mac adapter is needed if you are connecting legacy version Macintosh computers.
To connect the projector to a notebook or desktop computer:
- Take the supplied VGA cable and connect one end to the D-Sub output socket of the computer.
- Connect the other end of the VGA cable to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 signal input socket on the projector.
- If you wish to use the remote paging function, take a USB cable and connect the A type end to the USB port of the computer, and the other end to the Service socket on the projector. See "Using the remote mouse control" on page 14 for details.

Important
■ 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 a monitor
If you want to view your presentation close-up on a monitor as well as on the screen, you can connect the Monitor Out signal output socket on the projector to an external monitor with a VGA cable following the instructions below:
To connect the projector to a monitor:
- Connect the projector to a computer as described in "Connecting a computer" on page 18.
- Take a suitable VGA cable (only one supplied) and connect one end of the cable to the D-Sub input socket of the video monitor.
Or if your monitor is equipped with a DVI input socket, take a VGA to DVI-A cable and connect the DVI end of the cable to the DVI input socket of the video monitor. - Connect the other end of the cable to the Monitor Out socket on the projector.

Important
■ The Monitor Out output only works when Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 is made to the projector.
Connecting Video source devices
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets:
■ Component Video
S-Video
■ Video (composite)
You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above 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:
Best video quality
The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video.
See “Connecting a Component Video source device” on page 20 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.
Better video quality
The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option.
See “Connecting an S-Video source device” on page 20 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device.
Least video quality
Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here.
See “Connecting a composite Video source device” on page 21 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.
Connecting a Component Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused Component Video output sockets available:
If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to a Component Video source device:
- Take a VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable, Component Video cable or a Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor and connect the end with 3 RCA type connectors to the Component Video output sockets of the Video source device. Match the color of the plugs to the color of the sockets; green to green, blue to blue, and red to red.
- If you are using the VGA (D-Sub) to HDTV (RCA) cable and the Component Video to VGA (D-Sub) adaptor, connect the other end of the cable (with a D-Sub type connector) to the Computer in 1 or Computer in 2 socket on the projector. If you are using the Component Video Cable, connect the other end of 3RCA type connectors to the Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr sockets on the projector.

Important
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.

RGB to component adapter (ViewSonic P/N: J2552-0212-00)
Connecting an S-Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has an unused S-Video output socket available:
■ If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to an S-Video source device:
- Take an S-Video cable and connect one end to the S-Video output socket of the Video source device.
- Connect the other end of the S-Video cable to the S-Video socket on the projector.

Important
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.
If you have already made a Component Video connection between the projector and this S-Video source device using Component Video connections, you need not connect to this device using an S-Video connection as this makes an unnecessary second connection of poorer picture quality. See “Connecting Video source devices” on page 19 for details.
Connecting a composite Video source device
Examine your Video source device to determine if it has a set of unused composite Video output sockets available:
■ If so, you can continue with this procedure.
If not, you will need to reassess which method you can use to connect to the device.
To connect the projector to a composite Video source device:
- Take a Video cable and connect one end to the composite Video output socket of the Video source device.

Maintenance
The projector needs proper maintenance. You should keep the lens clean as dust, dirt or spots will project on the screen and diminish image quality. If any other parts need replacing, contact your dealer or qualified service personnel. When cleaning any part of the projector, always switch off and unplug the projector first.

Warning
Never open any of the covers on the projector. Dangerous electrical voltages inside the projector can cause severe injury. Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the Lens
Gently wipe the lens with lens cleaning paper. Do not touch the lens with your hands.
Cleaning the Projector Housing
Gently wipe with a soft cloth. If dirt and stains are not easily removed, use a soft cloth damped with water, or water and neutral detergent, and wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning the Filter Cover
The filter cover, which is located at the side of the projector, should be cleaned after every 100 hours of use. If it is not cleaned periodically, it can become clogged with dust and prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can cause over heating and damage the projector.
To clean the filter cover:
- Switch the projector off and unplug the AC power cord from the wall socket.
- Remove the filter cover as the illustration shown.
- Clean the filter cover.
■ To clean the filter cover, you are advised to use a small vacuum cleaner designed for computers and other office equipment.
■ If the filter cover is torn, replace it.
-
Replace the filter cover.
-
Attach the filter cover.
-
Plug the power back into the projector.

■ Turn off the projector and remove the AC power cord from the power outlet before beginning maintenance work.
■ Make sure the lens is cool before cleaning.
Do not use detergents or chemicals other than those noted above. Do not use benzene or thinners.
■ Do not use chemical sprays.
■ Use a soft cloth or lens paper only.
Replacing the Lamp
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed. Do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself. Contact the qualified service personnel for replacement.

The lamp is extremely hot right after turning off the projector. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least 45 minutes for the lamp to cool down.
Do not touch the lamp glass at any time. The lamp may explode due to improper handling, including the touching of the lamp glass.
Lamp lifetime may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same lifetime for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their lifetime in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
A lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.
■ Wear protective gloves and eyeglasses when fixing or detaching the lamp.
■ Faster on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least for 5 minutes to turn off the projector after powering on.
Do not operate the lamp in proximity to paper, cloth, or other combustible material nor cover it with such materials.
Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance, such as thinner.
Thoroughly ventilate the area or the room when operating the lamp in an oxygen atmosphere (in the air). If ozone is inhaled, it could cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, and other symptoms.
The inorganic mercury is involved in the lamp. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside the lamp will be exposed. Leave the area immediately if the lamp shatters while being operated and ventilate the area for at least 30 minutes in order to avoid the inhalation of mercury fumes. Otherwise it could be harmful to user's health.
- Turn off the projector.
- If the projector is installed in a ceiling mount, remove it
- Unplug the power cord.
- Loosen the screw in the side of the lamp cover and remove the cover.
- Remove the screws from the lamp module, raise the handle, and lift out the module.
- Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the screws.
- Replace the lamp cover and tighten the screw.
- Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp.
- Reset the lamp hour. Refer to the "Information" menu.

■ Dispose the used lamp according to local regulations.
■ Ensure that screws are tightened properly. Screws not tightened fully may result in injury or accidents.
■ Since the lamp is made of glass, do not drop the unit and do not scratch the glass.
Do not reuse the old lamp. This could cause the lamp to explode.
- Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the AC power cord before replacing the lamp.
- Do not use the projector with the lamp cover removed.

Troubleshooting
Refer to the symptoms and measures listed below before sending the projector for repairs. If the problem persists, contact your local reseller or service center. Please refer to "LED Indicator Messages" as well.
Start-up problems
