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 projector's labels. Attention - Refer to this User's 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 S a f e t y S u m m a r y 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. 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. iv INTRODUCTION The In Focus® LPTM 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 crystal display (LCD) technology. The 700 series projectors are ideal for high-performance business, training and imaging applications that demand exceptional color quality. The 725 has SVGA 800x600 graphics, the 735 has XGA 1024x768 graphics. The user interfaces of the two products are identical; information in this User's Guide applies to both products. Image Resolution LP 725 NOTE: The 725 automatically expands 640x480 images to The SVGA resolution of the 725's projected image is 800x600. Screen resolutions between 800x600 and 1024x768 are compressed to 800x600. The 725 cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer's screen resolution is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the 725. LP 735 800x600. You can display these images at 640x480 by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See "Auto Resize" on page 35 for more information. The XGA resolution of the 735's projected image is 1024x768. Screen resolutions between 1024x768 and 1280x1024 are compressed to 1024x768. The 735 cannot compress screen resolutions above 1280x1024. If your computer's screen resolution is higher than 1280x1024, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the 735. NOTE: The 735 automatically expands 640x480 and 800x600 images to 1024x768. You can display these images at their original resolutions by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See "Auto Resize" on page 35 for more information. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Compatibility The projector is compatible with a wide variety of computers and video devices, including: · IBM-compatible computers, including laptops, up to 1024x768 NOTE: Selected workstations are also supported.

See "Rear Projection" on page 38 to reverse the image. · If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the NOTE: An optional extension cable, sold separately, lets you increase the distance between the projector and your computer to 70 feet (21 m). See "Optional Accessories" on page 52. LP 700 Series Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes with the Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image upside down, see "Ceiling" on page 38. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see page 52. 2 Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. · The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen determines the size of the projected image. Figure 4 shows three projected image sizes using the lens at minimum focusing distance. For more information about image size, see "Projected Image Size" on page 58. 3 Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off. 25 f t. 5 f t.

FIGURE 4 7 S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r Connecting the CableWizardTMII to the Projector CAUTION: Turn off the computer, monitor and projector whenever you connect or disconnect cables. The CableWizard II (referred to as "CableWizard" in this manual for brevity) simplifies the connection process by providing a central hub for all the connections between the projector and your computer. The connectors on the CableWizard are labeled with icons. Connect the end of the CableWizard cable to the connector on the projector's connector panel (Figure 5). NOTE: The projectors are optimized for use with CableWizard II. If you have CableWizards from other models of In Focus projectors, we do not recommend using them. Image quality is reduced by using a CableWizard other than CableWizard II. The label on the bottom reads CableWizard or CableWizard II.

DO NOT use this to connect to the projector. the A/V cable remain unused (Figure 19). 5 Plug the A/V cable's other white and red connectors to the left and right "audio in" ports on the projector. The projector is compatible with these major broadcast video standards: NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, and SECAM. It automatically adjusts to optimize its performance for the incoming video. The input signals for SECAM, PAL-M, and PAL-N video cannot be automatically detected, therefore they must be chosen manually; see "Video Standard" on page 37. 20 Connecting an External Speaker To connect one or two external speakers, plug the speaker cable into the (audio out) connector on the projector. NOTE: The external speakers must be amplified.
