Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The projector must be at least 4.9 feet (1.5m) from the projection screen.
• Position the projector within 10 feet (3m) of your power source and within 6 feet (1.8m) of your video device (unless you purchase extension cables). To ensure adequate cable access, do not place the projector within 6 inches (.15m) of a wall or other object.
• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the installation guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see "Ceiling mount" on page 31. We recommend using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.
• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format determine the size of the projected image.
• The image exits the projector at a given angle. IN3102/IN3104 image offset is 115%; IN3106/IN3108 image offset is 112.4%. This means if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 1.5' (IN3102/IN3104) and 1.24' (IN3106/IN3108) above the center of the lens.

Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector's audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system.

You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.

Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector's Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector's Basic Picture Menu. See page 29 for more information.

What is Aspect Ratio?

Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you're projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don't have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9.

If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television.

Video device connections

No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or provide your own.

Composite video connection

Plug the composite video cable's yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video 3 connector on the projector.

Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into the Audio In Video connector on the projector.

Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S-video.

HDMI 1.3 connection

HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.

To take advantage of HDMI 1.3 Deep Color (30 bit) you must have a 1.3-compatible source.

S-video connection

If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the Video 2 connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above.

Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite.

VESA connection

If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled "To Monitor" on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the Computer 3 or Computer 2 connector on the projector.

Component video connection

If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the Computer 3 or Computer 2 connector. Component offers the highest quality video output.

Shutting down the projector

The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed.

Screen Save Time

You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by turning on the Screen Save Time feature in the Setup menu. See page 31.

Auto Off Time

The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the projector off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can change the length of time, see page 31.

Turning off the projector

To turn the projector off, press the Power button on the remote or keypad. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks amber for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights amber and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector.

Troubleshooting your setup

If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it does not, troubleshoot the setup.

The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot.

Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

I Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.

- Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don't apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.

2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.

Using the security lock

The projector has a security lock for use with a PC Guardian Cable Lock System. Refer to the information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it.

Replacing the projection lamp

The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message "Replace lamp" appears on the screen at startup.

NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your retailer or your dealer. Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector warranty. InFocus is not liable for the performance, safety or certification of any other lamps.

WARNINGS:

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the "Replace Lamp" message.
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp.
• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when removing it.
• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement.

• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.

• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
  I Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
  2 Wait 60 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.
  3 Remove the lamp door by: (a) removing the screw (labeled "1") on the side of the lamp door, (b) turning the lamp cover knob (labeled "2") counterclockwise to push up the lamp cover, and (c) lifting the door off.
