Notes on handling batteries

• Do not mix old batteries with new ones, or mix different types of batteries.
• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive hot or humid environment like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom, or in a closed car.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the battery manufacturer's instructions and local environment regulations for your region.
• If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the control from possible battery leakage.

Remote control operation

• Make sure that there is nothing positioned between the remote control and the infrared (IR) sensors on the projector that might obstruct the IR beam from the remote control reaching the projector.
- The effective range of the remote control is up to 7 meters, and at an angle within 30 degrees from the center of the IR beam. Always aim straight at the projector, however, most screens will also reflect the IR beam to the projector.

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 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.

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations.

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

I. Front:

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

2. Press ▲/▼ to highlight Projector Installation and press ◀/▶ until the correct position is selected.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors in the projected image size. The diagrams from pages 15 to 17 offer recommendations on projection distances and screen sizes.

This projector is equipped with a movable lens. See "Shifting the projection lens" on page 18 for details. You can see the diagrams from pages 15 to 17 for the vertical offset values in the dimension tables that are measured when the lens is shifted fully up or down.

If you place the projector in a different position (to that recommended), you will have to tilt it down or up to center the image on the screen. In these situations, some image distortion will occur. Use the Keystone function to correct the distortion. See "Correcting picture distortion" on page 29 for details.

If you have a 16:10-aspect-ratio screen and your measured projection distance was 4.5 m (450 cm), the closest match in the "Average" column is 450 cm. Looking across this row shows that a 150-inch screen is required.

Checking the min and max projection distance values in the columns of "Projection distance [cm]" indicates that the 4.5 m measured projection distance will also fit the 130 and 140-inch screens, as well as 160 to 190-inch size screens. The projector can be adjusted (using the zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes at the projection distance.

To optimize your projection quality, we suggest to do the projection within non-gray area.

The above numbers are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements. Only the recommended screen sizes are listed. If your screen size is not in the table above, please contact your dealer for assistance.

If you have a 4:3-aspect-ratio screen and your measured projection distance was 3.0 m (300 cm), the closest match in the "Average" column is 298 cm . Looking across this row shows that an 80-inch screen is required.

Checking the min and max projection distance values in the columns of "Projection distance [cm]" indicates that the 3.0 m measured projection distance will also fit the 70, 90, and 100-inch screens. The projector can be adjusted (using the zoom control) to display on these different screen sizes at the projection distance.

To optimize your projection quality, we suggest to do the projection within non-gray area.

The above numbers are approximate and may be slightly different from the actual measurements. Only the recommended screen sizes are listed. If your screen size is not in the table above, please contact your dealer for assistance.

Shifting the projection lens

The lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to be positioned off the center of the screen.

The lens shift is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height or width. It is measured as an offset from the projected image's vertical or horizontal center. You can shift the projection lens in vertical directions within the allowable range depending on your desired image position. For SU922+ and SW921+, the maximum vertical shift is 2.5% from the vertical center. For SX920+, the maximum vertical shift is 7.5% from the vertical center. For all three models, horizontal shift is not available.

To shift the lens vertically:

I. Press down lightly on the lens adjustment panel cover switch (indicated by the three dots) to click it open.
2. Lift the lens adjustment panel cover up.
3. Turn the lens shift ring to adjust the projected image position.
4. When done, press down and click close the lens adjustment panel cover.

• When the screen position is fixed
  

• When the projector position is fixed
  

Lens shift adjustment will not result in a degraded picture quality. In the unlikely event that the image distortion is produced, see "Adjusting the projected image" on page 28 for details.

Connecting to video equipment

You can connect the projector to any type of video equipment, such as a DVD or Blu-ray player, digital tuner, cable or satellite decoder, video game console or digital camera.

Adjusting Brilliant Color

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant colors in picture. When set to Off, Brilliant Color is disabled.

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 3D Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted to favorite colors. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its color range and saturation according to your preference.

To adjust and store the settings:

I. In the Picture menu, highlight Advanced... and press MODE/ENTER. Then, highlight 3D Color Management and press MODE/ENTER. The 3D Color Management page is displayed.
2. Highlight Primary Color and press ◀/▶ to select a color from among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
3. Press ▼ to highlight Hue and press ◀/▶ to select the color range you wish to make adjustment. The bigger the range, the more proportions of its two adjacent colors the color contains.

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 is selected. Increasing its range will include both the red color close to yellow and red color close to magenta.

Press ▼ to highlight Saturation and adjust the color saturation level by pressing ◀/▶.

If you select Red and set its range at 0, only the saturation of the 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. To leave and save the settings, press MENU/EXIT.

Selecting the aspect ratio

The "aspect ratio" is the ratio of the image width to the image height. The default for this projector is 16:10 while digital TV and Blu-ray discs are usually in 16:9 ratio, and most analog TV signals and DVDs are in 4:3 ratio.

With the advent of digital signal processing, digital display devices like this projector can dynamically stretch and scale the image output to a different aspect than that of the image input source. Images can be stretched in a linear manner so the whole of the image is stretched equally, or non-linearly, which distorts the image.

To change the projected picture ratio (no matter what aspect the source is):

• Using the remote control button

I. Press ASPECT to show the current setting.

1. Press ASPECT repeatedly to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

• Using the OSD menu

I. Press MENU/EXIT and then press ◀/▶ until the Display menu is highlighted.

1. Press to highlight Aspect Ratio.

2. Press /to select an aspect ratio to suit the format of the video signal and your display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

1. Auto: Scales a picture proportionally to fit the projector's native resolution in its horizontal or vertical width. This makes the most use of the screen and maintains the aspect ratio of a picture when projecting images that are neither 4:3 nor 16:10 ratio.
2. 4:3: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 pictures like computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
3. 16:9: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 16:9 pictures like LCD monitors, high definition TV and 16:9 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
4. 16:10: Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:10 aspect, as it displays them without aspect alteration.
5. Real: This setting displays the image in a one-to-one pixel mapping without alteration or resize in the center of the projection. This is most suitable for use with PC source inputs.

- The black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active areas.

- OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.

Additional information

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you have to do on a regular basis is keep the lens clean. Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer or local customer service center if the projector fails to operate as expected.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Before you attempt to clean the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

I. Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. (Available from building hardware or photographic suppliers.)
2. If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a proper photographic lens brush or moisten a clean soft lens cloth with lens cleaner to gently wipe the lens surface.
3. Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.

Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels can damage the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning solution. Do not attempt to clean the lens while the projector is switched on or is still hot from previous use. Be sure to turn off the projector and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you attempt to clean the case, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

I. To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
2. To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Storing the projector

If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please:

I. Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for the projector. Please refer to the Spec. page in this manual or consult your dealer about the range.
2. Retract the adjuster feet.
3. Remove the batteries from the remote control.
4. 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.

Lamp information
