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 (1.49m) 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" on page 35. InFocus recommends using an authorized InFocus ceiling mount. The Ceiling Mount Kit is sold separately; see "Optional Accessories" on page 42. 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 top illustration to the right shows three projected image sizes. For more information about image sizes at different distances, see "Projected image size" on page 43. The image exits the projector at a given angle. The image offset is 112.2% when the projector is in 4:3 mode (default mode). This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 1.22' above the center of the lens. This image offset is 132.9% when the projector is in 16:9 mode. This means that if you have an image 10' high, the bottom of the image will be 3.29' above the center of the lens. See "Connecting a video device" on page 14 for additional information on 16:9 and 4:3 modes. 10 ft high image Projection angle in 4:3 mode (default) 5 f t. 3 3. ft. 4.8 ft. 7.5 ft. 12 .5 f t. 19 ft. · · · bottom of image 1.22 ft above lens lens center · · 5 Projector and Device Connector Guide The following should help you find the connectors that you want to use to obtain the best resolution possible from your input devices, such as computers, standard VCRs, DVD players (progressive and interlaced), HDTV sources (1080i, 1035i, and 720P HDTV formats), TV and satellite tuners, camcorders, video games (progressive and interlaced), and laser disc players. Computer connections Computer connections involve attaching the computer cable included with the projector from a computer to the Computer In input. Optional connections include attaching the included audio cable from computer to projector, connecting the computer monitor to the projector, and connecting a USB cable (notincluded) from the computer to the projector to advance slides in a PowerPointTM presentation. See page 9 for setup computer/projector setup information. Video connections The first step for connecting video is deciding what type of output connector you want to connect to the projector has. If there is more than one output, select the one with the highest quality. The best quality ranking, with 1 being the highest and 3 being the lowest, is: 1 Component video 2 S-video 3 Composite video If you are connecting the projector to HDTV sources, the projector's computer (VGA) connector, labeled Video In, should be used. Keep in mind that HDTV and progressive sources should only be handled through the projector's VGA connector. The S-video port does not function with progressive sources, even with an the optional Component to S-video adapter. With progressive sources, the optional Component to VESA adapter must be used. Both of these adapters can be found in "Optional Accessories" on page 42 for ordering information. projector input connectors monitor (out) computer in (HDTV and progressive sources) s-video video in audio in USB 6 Video Device Video Compatibility NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats If Your Device Connector Is Composite video or S-video Attach to this Labeled Connector on Projector Composite video or S-video Comments For Setup Instructions, see Standard Broadcast TV (not HDTV) via: cable, digital cable, satellite TV, DVD, or VCR Composite video connection on page 15.

The second time a USB Human Interface Device (for the keyboard). The third time it detects a USB Human Interface Device (for the mouse). For Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP: · The USB drivers are automatically installed. 13 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. There is also an audio input. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can connect the audio to your stereo system. Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector's Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the projector's Menu. See page 32 for more information. Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you're projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may answer this question for you. 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 regular TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If a 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. 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. 4:3 screen 16:9 screen Do Not Use 4:3 mode 16:9 mode Native mode (NTSC only) 14 Video device connections Composite video connection Plug the composite video cable's (not included) yellow connector into the video-out connector on your video device.
