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 guide-
lines:
• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The
projector (with the standard lens) must be at least 3 feet (0.9m) 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 exten-
sion 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” on page 35. We recom-
mends using an authorized ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is
sold separately; see the Accessories catalog that came with this projec-
tor or visit our website for more information.
• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance 10 ft high
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the Projection angle in 4:3 mode (default)
image
video format determine the size of the projected image. For information
about image sizes at different distances, see “Projected image size” on 10:0

given angle. However, the lens shift feature makes the image offset
variable. The image offset is 100% at a 10:0 ratio when the projector is in 1:0
4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10’ bottom of image lens center
high, all 10’ will appear above the center of the lens. 50% below lens

• This image offset is 50% when the lens shift is at a 1:1 ratio. This means
that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of the image will be 5’
below the center of the lens.
• For information about the optional lenses image offsets, see “Projected
image size” on page 43.

Connecting a computer connect computer cable

Required computer connections

Connect one end of the VESA computer cable to the Computer 2 connector
on the projector. Connect the other end to the video port on your computer.
If you are using a desktop computer, you first need to disconnect the moni-
tor cable from the computer’s video port.
Connect the black power cable to the connector on the back of the projector connect power cable

Color Space: This option applies to computer and component video
sources. It allows you to select a color space that has been specifically tuned
for the input signal. When Auto is selected, the projector automatically
determines the standard. To choose a different setting, turn off Auto, then
choose RGB for computer sources, choose either SMPTE240, REC709 or
REC601 for component video sources.

Color Temperature: changes the intensity of the colors. Select a listed

value, or select User and individually adjust the intensity of the red, green,
and blue colors. Color Space

Video Standard: when set to Auto, the projector attempts to automatically

pick the video standard based on the input signal it receives. (The video
standard options may vary depending on your region of the world.) If the
projector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors may not look
right or the image may appear “torn.” If this happens, manually select a
video standard by selecting NTSC, PAL, or SECAM from the Video Stan- Color Temperature

checks first for active signal during power-up.
Sources>Autosource: When Autosource is not checked, the projector
defaults to the source selected in Powerup Source. If no source is found, a
blank screen displays. When Autosource is checked, Powerup Source deter-
mines which source the projector defaults to at power-up. If no signal is
present, the projector checks the sources in order until a source is found or

support experts.

Cleaning the lens

1 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. turn off and unplug

WARNINGS: loosen the captive screws on lamp module

• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before
you replace the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass lamp screen. Fingerprints can obscure projection
sharpness.
• 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.

5 Carefully remove the lamp module by grasping and lifting the metal
bail wire. Dispose of the lamp in an environmentally proper manner.

6 Install the new lamp module, making sure that it is properly seated.
