Audio and Video Devices Connectivity Configuration

ViewSonic Pro8100 offers a full complementary video input connectivity - from the hi-tech HDMI to the basic composite video.

There are vast possibilities of audio & video connectivity configurations user can choose from.

However the best setup combination relies on user's equipments and using preferences.

Please seek professional advice for best matching setup. The video input type priority sequence is listed below:

- HDMI - Component Video • S-Video • Composite Video

The illustration below shows some recommended setup configuration possibilities.

A. Using Home Theater System as hub

This setup is recommended if a highly sophisticated home theater system is available.

This setup offers a great ease on utility for user, since settings of both audio and video can be changed without manual matching.

Pros: Eliminate audio and video source matching between projector and audio amplifier. Increase number of connecting devices. Reduce cabling to the projector.

Cons: High cost.

Projection Screen Selection

ViewSonic Pro8100's preset image modes are calibrated based on a no-gain, pure flat white projection screen. For best preset performance, it is highly recommended to use a no-gain, flat white professional projection screen. The projection screens used in most office are gain-screens. Material used in brightness gain screen will cause decrease in viewing angle and hot-spot symptom. Black level and contrast performances can also be altered by the gain-screen since the gain will also boost the dark level brightness. The so-called hi-contrast gray projection screen can also alter the contrast and black level performance. The best viewing performance can not be brought by the standard factory presets, when using these types of projection screens. Please seek professional help for adapting a specialized screen, when calibrating the projector settings manually.

Appendix

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 Micro-fiber wiping cloth. 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.

Maintaining the Air Filter

The air filter, which is located at the back of the projector, should be replaced or cleaned when warned by system either because 200 hours of use or rise of internal temperature. 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 air filter:

  1. Pull down the filter module cover.
  2. Remove the filter module cover.
  3. Remove the dirty filter directly.
  4. Attach the clean air-filter.
  5. Attach the filter cover to the projector.

Replacing the Air Filter

The air filter should be replaced when cleaning is ineffective contact an authorized service center for the optional air filter.

《 NOTE 》

  • 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

Projector lamps have a finite life. Replace the lamp when:

  • A warning message "Lamp is approaching the end of its useful life in full power operation. Replacement suggested!" appears on the screen.
  • The image becomes darker and hues become weaker after a lamp has been for a long period of time.
  • The projector lamp LED indicator turns into amber. Refer to section titled "LED Indicator Messages" for further details.

《NOTE》

  • The lamp will remain in high temperature even after the projector's power is turned off. Wait for at least 45 minutes after power off to cool down the lamp. Touching the lamp prior proper cool down time can cause skin scalding.
  • Do not touch any glass portion of the lamp at any time. The lamp may explode due to improper handling or grease generated from finger.
  • 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.
  • Short on-off-cycles will damage the lamp and reduce lamp life. Wait at least for 7 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. Otherwise it could cause a fire.
  • Do not operate the lamp in an atmosphere containing an inflammable substance, such as thinner. Otherwise it could cause a fire or explosion.
  • 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, etc.

- The lamp contains inorganic mercury. If the lamp bursts, the mercury inside the lamp will go out of the projector. 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.

To replace the lamp:

  1. Loosen the two screws of lamp cover.
  2. Remove the lamp cover.
  3. Loosen the two screws of lamp module.
  4. Pull out the old lamp module by lamp handle.
  5. Mount the new lamp.
  6. Replace the lamp cover.
  7. Reset the lamp timer.

natural_image Line drawing of a portable projector with ventilation slots and a detached unit (no text or symbols)

《 NOTE 》

  • Dispose of 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

If you think something is wrong, check the followings before contacting customer service.

If This Happens Check
No power* Is the power cord or battery pack plugged in?* Is it connected to the projector?
Power is lost during use* Is the ambient temperature high?* Is the air intake or air exhaust blocked?
No picture* Is the projector turned on?* Are the connections set up correctly?* Are all the connected devices functioning properly?
Picture not displayed correctly* Is the input signal supported by the projector?,* Is something generating an abnormal video signal, for instance the video tape?
Picture blurred Part of picture out of focus* Is the lens dirty?* Is the lens focus adjusted optimally?* Is the projection distance within the projector's supported range?* Is the projector's screen placement angle tilted too far?* Are the sharpness or sampling phase adjustments off?
Colors too lightBad shading* Are the color or tint, adjustments off?* Is the screen dirty?
