SAFETY SUMMARY

Please read these instructions carefully before using your projector. Failure to comply with them could result in fire, electrical
shock, personal injury or damage to equipment.
These graphics are used throughout this manual to draw your
attention to important information about the projectors.
NOTE: Additional useful details or tips.

CAUTION: Steps to take to avoid damage to your equipment.

WARNING: Steps to take to avoid personal injury.

These graphics are used on the projectors labels.

Attention - Refer to this Users Guide for important
safety information.
CAUTION- Hot Surfaces - Avoid touching hot surfaces.
Do not touch until the projector has cooled.
Do Not Look Into The Lens!

Be extremely careful not to look into the projection lens when the
projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes. Be
especially careful to keep children from looking into the lens.
Power Source

Use only a three-wire grounding type power source. The power

source should not exceed 250 volts rms between the supply conductors or between either conductor and the ground.
Power Cord

Use only the power cord that was shipped with the projector.
Although other power cords might be similar in appearance, they
have not been safety-tested with the projector. Do not use a
power cord if it has become damaged or frayed. Contact your In
Focus dealer or call In Focus if you need to replace your power
cord.
iii

Grounding

The projector is grounded through the grounding conductor on

the power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into
a properly wired receptacle. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding-type plug.
Lamp

To avoid overheating and unacceptable image quality, replace the

projection lamp with a lamp of the specified type. Refer to
page 49 for lamp specifications and to page 41 for instructions on
replacing the lamp.
Lamp Compartment

To avoid burns, do not open the lamp module door until the projector is turned off and the lamp has cooled for at least 30 minutes. Follow the instructions in this manual for lamp replacement
carefully.
Hot Surfaces

Allow the projector to cool at least 30 minutes before replacing a

lamp. When you open the lamp housing, be very careful not to
touch the hot surfaces inside.
Ventilation and Overheating

Openings in the projector case provide ventilation to protect it

from overheating. Keep loose papers and other objects well away
from the grills. Do not place the projector on top of or close to a
computer or other heat-producing equipment.
Liquid Spills

Do not set drinks on top of the projector. Spilled liquids can flow
inside and cause damage.
Do Not Disassemble
NOTE: If you open the projector
case, you will void the warranty.

iv

All projector service must be performed by an authorized In

Focus service center. The only user-serviceable part in the projector is the projection lamp, which you can replace by opening the
lamp cover on the bottom of the projector (see page 41). Do not
open any other part of the projector. If your projector needs
repair, call In Focus Technical Support as described on page 5.
Before you call Technical Support, you may want to refer to
Troubleshooting on page 44 to see if you can resolve the problem yourself.

INTRODUCTION

The In Focus LP 725 and 735 lightweight multimedia projectors combine powerful and sophisticated features with easy-touse, intuitive controls. Built-in multimedia features include
audio, a palette of 16.7 million colors and active matrix liquid

when used with any In Focus projector. This free program is
included with every projector and
available for download from our
website at www.infocus.com.

5 If the colors dont look right, adjust the brightness (page 27)
and tint (page 31).
Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or
rear of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about
40 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or
equal to 40 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the
front or the rear of the projector.
The projector ships with a two-button remote. (A full-feature
Smart Remote with all the same buttons as the keypad is available separately; see Optional Accessories on page 52.) The
remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top
of the remote and one on the bottom.

NOTE: If you cant aim the

remote control at the projector so
that its signal is received for
example, when using rear projection purchase the optional
Smart Remote and connect it
directly to the projector with the
optional remote control cable. See
Optional Accessories on
page 52.

Troubleshooting
If youre experiencing trouble with the projector, follow these
steps to make sure everything is properly connected before you
call Technical Support for assistance.
1 Check cable connections. Verify that all computer, CableWizard and power cables are properly connected.
2 Verify that all power is switched on.
3 Verify that the projector has not been switched off with the
standby button on the keypad.
4 If the projector still doesnt display an image, restart the computer.

NOTE: Macintosh computers

require a specific power-up
sequence: the projector must be
turned on before you turn on the
computer.

5 If the problem still exists, unplug the projector from the computer and check the computer monitors display. The maximum resolution that the 725 can display is 1024x768 pixels,
preferably 800x600; the maximum resolution that the 735 can
display is 1280x1024 pixels, preferably 1024x768. The problem
might be with the graphics controller in your computer rather
than with the projector. When you reconnect the projector,
remember to turn the computer and monitor off before you
power up the projector. Power the equipment back up in this
order: projector, monitor, computer.
6 If youre using a laptop computer and it is not displaying your
presentation, make sure you have activated the computers
external video output. Most laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external video port when a secondary
display device such as a projector is connected. Refer to
page 53 for more information.
7 If the problem still exists, read through the problems and solutions in this chapter.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer

When you turn video mirroring on (called SimulScan in newer
PowerBooks-see below), the projector displays the same information that appears on your PowerBooks built-in screen. When
video mirroring is off, the projector acts like a separate display.
To turn on video mirroring for the first time:
1 Open the Monitors control panel; click on Monitor 2.
2 Set the number of colors you want.
3 Open the Control Strip; click on the monitor icon.
4 Select Turn Video Mirroring On.
Now you can turn video mirroring on and off from the Control
Strip without having to open the Monitors control panel again.
When using video mirroring and high color graphics such as
slide shows, the projected image occasionally might turn black
and white. If this happens, perform the following steps:
1 Turn off video mirroring.
2 Open the Monitors control panel.
3 Move the white menu bar to Monitor 2 to set the projector as
the primary monitor.
4 Restart the PowerBook.
Using SimulScan

Some newer PowerBooks display images on an external monitor

or projector differently than previous ones. When using
SimulScan, the projector displays the same information that
appears on your PowerBook
To select SimulScan:
1 Open the Control Panel, then double-click Monitors and
Sound.
2 In the Resolution list, choose the SimulScan mode, then click
OK.
3 If this changes your display settings, a dialog box appears.
Click OK to confirm the change.
