Usage Guidelines  
Do not look directly into the projection lens when the lamp is  
turned on. The bright light may harm your eyes.  
Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the air flow  
can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this happens, you must  
wait a minute before attempting to turn it back on.  
Handle the projector as you would any product with glass  
components. Be especially careful not to drop it.  
Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or extreme cold  
for extended periods of time. If this happens, allow it to reach  
room temperature before use.  
Transport the projector in a vendor-approved hard or soft case.  
Part numbers for these cases are listed on page 50.

SETTING UP THE PROJECTOR  
1 Place the projector on a flat surface.  
The projector must be within 10 feet (3 m) of your power  
source and within 6 feet (1.8 m) of your computer.  
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set  
on page 36 to reverse the image.  
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 Projection” on page 36. The Ceiling Mount Kit is  
sold separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 50.  
2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen.  
The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and  
the zoom lens setting determine the size of the projected  
image. Table 1 shows example projected image sizes and  
minimum and maximum distances to the screen.  
The formulas for distance to the screen are:  
Max distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.49  
Min distance (ft) = diagonal image size (ft) ÷.69  
Table 1:  
NOTE: For a similar table for the  
optional short throw and long  
throw lenses, see page 58 of the  
Appendix.

The projector is equipped with a lens shift feature that allows you  
to adjust the projection height (move the image along the wall)  
without moving the projector, while still maintaining a perfectly  
square image. Turn the lens shift knob on the side of the projector  
to make this adjustment (Figure 4).

The bottom of the image can move from half way below the pro-  
jector’s lens (Figure 5) to parallel with the lens (Figure 6).  
Example: With a 10’ image, at the lowest projection angle, the bot-  
tom of the image is 5’ below the projector’s lens; at the highest  
projection angle, the bottom of the image is parallel with the lens.

Connecting a Video Player  
There are 3 video inputs: Composite video, S-video, and Compo-  
nent video. For Composite and S-video, follow these instructions:  
1 If your video player uses a round, one-prong composite video  
connector, you’ll need only the A/V cable that shipped with  
the projector.  
If your video player uses a round, four-prong S-video con-  
nector, you’ll need an S-video cable in addition to the A/V  
cable. The S-video cable is sold separately. (See “Optional  
Accessories” on page 50.)  
2 Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the “video-out”  
connector on your video player (Figure 11). This connector  
may be labeled “To Monitor.”  
NOTE: HDTV sources are con-  
nected to the projector using the  
computer inputs, not the video  
inputs. All analog computer inputs  
can display HDTV. See the previ-  
ous pages for computer connection  
instructions.  
If you’re using an S-video cable, connect it to the “S-video  
out” connector on the video player (Figure 12).  
3 Plug the other yellow connector into the composite video con-  
nector on the projector.  
If you’re using S-video, plug the other end of the cable into  
the “S-video” connector on the projector (Figure 12).

connector on your video player. Plug the cable’s red connector  
into the right “audio out” connector on the video player (Fig-  
ure 11 and Figure 12).  
5 Plug the A/V cable’s other white and red connectors to the  
left and right  
In ports on the projector.  
The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video  
standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60, and  
SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for  
the incoming video. The input signal for SECAM video is similar  
to other video signals and cannot be automatically detected,  
therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. See “Video Stan-  
dard” on page 35 for details.  
CAUTION: Your video player  
may also have a “Video Out”  
connector for a coaxial cable  
connection. DO NOT use this to  
connect to the projector.  
Connecting a Video Player using BNC Cables  
Connect the BNC cables and audio cables to the appropriate con-  
nectors on the projector (Figure 8 on page 10) and on your video  
player.  
This input is designated Component Video.

USING THE PROJECTOR  
This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the  
projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote  
buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.  
Basic Image Adjustment  
1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right  
order (page 16).  
2 If the image doesn’t display completely, zoom the image  
(page 20), adjust the height of the projector (page 20) or center  
the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position  
(page 34). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the  
screen.  
3 If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 20).  
4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical  
bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image  
(page 32) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and  
tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, turn Auto Image  
off and adjust the sync (page 33) and/or the tracking  
(page 33) manually.  
5 If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 28).

Using the Remote Control  
To control the computers mouse from the projector’s remote or  
keypad, you must connect either the USB connector on the M1  
computer cable to the computer (see page 12) or a type B USB  
mouse cable to your computer and the projector (see page 11).  
This feature is not supported on the Macintosh platform.  
NOTE: If you can’t aim the  
remote control at the projector so  
that its signal is received for  
example, when using rear  
Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the top of  
the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 25 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 25  
feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the  
rear of the projector.  
projection or in a large  
auditoriumconnect it directly to  
the projector with the optional  
remote control cable.  
The projector ships with a full-feature remote (see page 24 for a  
description of the buttons) which includes a laser pointer. The  
remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top  
of the remote and one on the bottom (Figure 19).

Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor  
on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing  
the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top  
of the remote simulates your computer’s right mouse button; the  
button on the bottom simulates your computers left mouse but-  
ton. When you press the disk mouse, the remote lights up. The  
light goes off about 10 seconds after you stop pressing buttons.  
To use the laser pointer, press and hold the laser button. The laser  
goes off when the button is released.  
If you are creating presentations in Microsoft® PowerPoint®, you  
can use the remote’s mouse buttons to navigate through your  
presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint  
for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab,  
de-select the “Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click” option in the  
Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you’re in Power-  
Point’s Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide  
and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint  
modes are not affected).

video sources only.  
NOTE: Some screen savers  
interfere with the operation of  
Auto Image. If youre experiencing  
problems, try turning your screen  
saver off, then turning Auto Image  
off and back on.  
Image Position  
This setting allows you to re-position a 16x9 or native mode  
video image. Select among top, bottom, and center by highlight-  
ing Image Position in the menus and clicking either mouse but-  
ton to cycle through the options.  
Auto Image  
The projector automatically adjusts tracking, signal synchroniza-  
tion and vertical and horizontal position for most computers  
(Auto Image does not apply to video sources). If you want to  
adjust these features manually, you must turn off Auto Image first  
by highlighting Auto Image in the Image menu and clicking the  
left or right mouse button to select “off”.  
Resize  
This option works differently for computer and video sources.  
For computer sources, Resize automatically resizes the image by  
scaling it up or down. It only affects computer images that are not  
the projector’s native resolution. When Resize is on, the projector  
makes the best fit of the image to the computer screen. If you turn  
Resize off (by highlighting it in the Image menu and clicking the  
left or right mouse button to select “off”), the image may be either  
cropped or too small for the screen.  
NOTE: When you connect an  
HDTV source, the projector  
automatically displays the image in  
16x9 format.  
32  
 
           
For video sources, Resize allows you to select from among four  
different re-sizing options. The default is Standard, which resizes  
the image from its original version to fit a standard 4x3 aspect  
ratio screen. Widescreen Letterbox preserves the 16x9 aspect ratio  
of the original theater version, but the image is placed in a 4x3  
space, so black bars appear at the top and bottom of the image.  
Enhanced Widescreen also preserves the aspect ratio of the origi-  
nal theater version and is designed to be used with content that is  
Enhanced for Widescreen TVs. This option yields more detail  
than Widescreen Letterbox. Native reduces the Standard size to  
match the height of Enhanced Widescreen.  
Manual Sync  
The projector adjusts signal synchronization automatically for  
most computers. But if the projected computer image looks fuzzy  
or streaked, try turning Auto Image off then back on again. If the  
image still looks bad, try adjusting the signal synchronization  
manually:  
1 Turn Auto Image off.  
NOTE: The Manual Sync,  
Manual Tracking, Horiz. Posi-  
tion and Vert. Position options  
are available only for computer  
sources. The projector sets these  
options automatically for video  
sources.  
2 Highlight Manual sync, then press the left or right mouse but-  
ton repeatedly until the image is sharp and free of streaks.  
Manual Tracking  
The projector adjusts tracking automatically to match the video  
signal from your computer. However, if the display shows evenly  
spaced, fuzzy, vertical lines or if the projected image is too wide  
or too narrow for the screen, try turning Auto Image off then back  
on again. If the image is still bad, try adjusting the tracking man-  
ually:  
1 Turn Auto Image off.  
2 Highlight Manual tracking, then press the left or right mouse  
button repeatedly until the fuzzy vertical bars are gone.

Video Standard  
When Video standard is set to Auto, the projector attempts to  
pick the video standard (NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-  
N,PAL-60, or SECAM) automatically based on the input signal it  
receives. (The video standard options may vary depending on  
your region of the world.) The input signal for SECAM video is  
similar to other video signals and cannot be automatically  
detected, therefore SECAM must be chosen manually. If the pro-  
jector is unable to detect the correct standard, the colors might  
not look right or the image might appear “torn.” If this happens,  
manually select a standard by clicking the left or right mouse but-  
ton and cycling through the standards.  
NOTE: If you already know the  
video standard used in your geo-  
graphical area, it’s often best to  
manually select it.  
Standby Time  
This option lets you select how long the lamp stays on and the  
blank screen is displayed when the projector enters standby  
mode before the projector turns off. Select among instant, 1, 5, 10,

troubleshoot the projector  
Cleaning the Lens  
Follow these steps to clean the projection lens:  
1 Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.  
Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner.  
Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might  
scratch the lens.  
2 Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular  
motion.  
3 If you don’t intend to use the projector immediately, replace  
the lens cap.  
Replacing the Projection Lamp  
The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of  
hours the lamp has been in use. After 1,900 hours, the message  
“Change Lamp” temporarily appears on the screen when the pro-  
jector is turned on. Replace the lamp when the brightness is no  
longer acceptable. You can order new lamp modules from your  
InFocus dealer. See “Accessories” on page 50 for information.  
WARNING: To avoid burns,  
allow the projector to cool for at  
least 30 minutes before you open  
the lamp module door. Never  
extract the lamp module while the  
lamp is operating.  
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:  
1 Turn off the projector by unplugging the power cord.  
2 Wait 30 minutes to allow the projector to cool thoroughly.

WARNING: Be extremely careful  
when removing the lamp module.  
In the unlikely event that the bulb  
ruptures, small glass fragments  
may be generated. The lamp  
module is designed to contain  
these fragments, but use caution  
when removing the lamp module.  
FIGURE 29

Replacing the Batteries in the Remote Control  
The life of the batteries depends on how often and how long you  
use the remote. Symptoms of low battery charge include erratic  
responses when using the remote and a reduced range of opera-  
tion.  
Follow these steps to replace the batteries:  
1 Turn the remote face down in your hand.  
2 Slide the battery cover off the end of the remote.  
3 Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environ-  
mentally proper manner.  
4 Install two new AA alkaline batteries. Make sure you install  
each in the correct direction.  
5 Slide the battery cover back on the remote.  
Using the Security Lock  
The projector has a security connector for use with a PC Guardian  
Cable Lock System (Figure 32). See “Optional Accessories” on  
page 50 for ordering information. Refer to the information that  
came with the lock for instructions on how to use it to secure the  
projector.

Make sure you have removed the lens cap on the projection  
lens at the front of the projector.  
Make sure the lamp is switched on.  
Check the projector’s lamp to ensure that it is securely con-  
nected in the lamp module. See “Replacing the Projection  
Lamp” on page 41.  
Make sure that the cables do not have any bent pins.  
Problem: Color or text not being projected  
You might need to adjust the brightness up or down until the  
text is visible. Refer to “Brightness” on page 28 for more infor-  
mation.  
Problem: The screen resolution is not right

You might need to turn everything off and power up the  
equipment again in the proper order. Refer to your com-  
puters documentation to determine the correct order.  
Make sure your laptop’s external video port is turned on. See  
the “Portable and Laptop Activation Chart” on page 52 or  
your computer’s manual for details.  
Make sure your computer’s video board is installed and con-  
figured correctly.  
Make sure your computer has a compatible video board. The  
projector isn’t CGA, EGA or SXGA compatible.  
If you’re using Windows 98:  
1 Open “My Computer” icon, the Control Panel folder and  
then the Display icon.  
2 Click the Settings tab.  
3 Verify that the Desktop area is set to 1280x1024 or less.  
Problem: Image is too wide or narrow for screen  
Adjust the zoom or projector placement.

1280x1024.  
Problem: Image is out of focus  
Turn the projection lens to focus the image.  
Make sure the projection screen is at least 3.3 feet (1 m) from  
the projector.  
Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.  
Problem: Image and menus are reversed left to right  
Rear projection mode is probably turned on. Turn Rear Projec-  
tion off in the Controls menu. The image should immediately  
return to forward projection. See “Rear Projection” on  
page 36.  
46  
 
     
Problem: the projector displays vertical lines, “bleeding” or  
spots  
Adjust the brightness. See “Brightness” on page 28.

The problem could be with your computers video card. If  
possible, connect a different computer.  
Problem: Projected colors don’t match the computer or video  
player’s colors  
Just as there are differences in the displays of different moni-  
tors, there are often differences between the computer image  
and the projected image. Adjust the brightness, tint and/or  
contrast from the Display menu. See “Brightness” on page 28,  
“Tint” on page 28 and “Contrast” on page 28.  
Problem: Lamp seems to be getting dimmer  
The lamp begins to lose brightness when it has been in use for  
a long time. Replace the lamp as described in “Replacing the  
Projection Lamp” on page 41.

Using Video Mirroring with a PowerBook Computer  
When you turn video mirroring (called SimulScan in newer Pow-  
erBooks—see below) on, the projector displays the same informa-  
tion that appears on your PowerBook’s 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, then 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.

RS232 Terminal Specifications  
Communication configuration  
To control the projector from an LCD control panel or terminal  
software, connect a null modem type RS232 cable and set your  
computer’s serial port settings to match this communication con-

Command format  
All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a  
request, all enclosed in parentheses. The request can be a read  
request (indicated by a “?”) or a write request (indicated by 1 to 4  
ASCII digits).  
A read request format: (AAA?) where  
(
starts the command  
AAA denotes the command  
?
)
denotes the read request  
ends the command

A read command returns the range and the current setting, for  
example:  
Function  
Brightness  
Volume  
Command  
(BRT?)  
Response  
(0-22, 10)  
(0-80, 0)  
(VOL?)  
Lamp hours  
(LMP?)  
(0-9999, 421)  
A write request example: (AAA####) where  
starts the command  
AAA denotes the command  
(
####  
denotes the value to be written  
(leading zeros not necessary)  
)
ends the command  
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a  
number greater than the maximum range is received, it is auto-  
matically set to the maximum number for that function. If a com-  
mand is received that is not understood, a “?” is returned. With  
absolute settings, “0” is off, 1-2147483647 is on. The one exception  
is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.  
NOTE: To assure the projector  
can process a command, wait 3  
seconds before entering the next  
command.
