Should this be unavoidable take extra precaution of protecting the surfaces with a layer of heat resistant material. · Intense Light Source! Do not stare directly into the projection lens as possible eye damage could result. Be especially careful that children do not stare directly into the beam. · Do not open the projector's cover; no user serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Opening the projector's cover will invalidate warranty. · Take care not to shake the projector whilst carrying it by the handle. 100-240 Vac 50/60 Hz (Fig. 1). · Always position the projector away from direct heat sources. · Do not touch the surface of the projection lens. Fig. 1 · The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily accessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket. If the system is unlikely to be used for a number of days, disconnect the power cable and other apparatus connected to it. · To save energy, switch off the projector by using the power switch at the rear; when in stand-by (red light on) the projector continues to draw a minimal amount of power. · Only replace the safety fuse (on the power socket at the rear of projector) with a fuse identical in type and characteristics (T 3.15A H) (Fig. 2). · The projector must be positioned on a stable, suitable platform or be installed using a bracket for fixed ceiling or wall installation. Do not rest the projector on the side panels or on the rear panel when in operation. · Take care to position cables safely, especially in dark places, in order to avoid a trip hazard. · For installations using a ceiling or wall-mounted bracket, carefully follow the installation and safety instructions provided with the bracket's literature. · Please remove batteries from the remote control if not in use for a long period of time. · A special EVC socket on the projector's rear panel will allow connection to the optional Remote Input Interface (a special cable is required). This is not to be confused with a VESA "Plug & Display" Never connect a computer to this socket, as the projector and the computer may be damaged. 4 250 V T 3.15A H 1 2 3 Fig. 2 · Do not switch on your projector when flammable liquids or fumes are present. Do not pour or drop fluids in the vents. · Do not use the projector when the room temperature is above 35°C (95°F). · Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets on the top cover, or the air outlets underneath the projector. · Do not switch on the projector if it is standing on soft surfaces such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and carpets: the air cooling outlets underneath could become obstructed. · Do not switch-on the projector if it is standing on surfaces 4 1 PACKAGING AND CONTENTS 1 2 3 4 Fig. 3 The carton should contain the following: - the projector - the remote control - four 1.5V AAA batteries (for remote control) - three power cables (EU, UK, USA) - the user manual. To unpack the projector safely and easily please follow steps 1 to 4, as per drawing (Fig. 3). It is recommended that the carton and packaging is retained for future use and in the unlikely event that your projector needs to be returned for repair. 2 INTRODUCTION Congratulations and thank you for choosing the HT 200 DMF, a SIM2 Multimedia SpA product (Fig. 4). Fig. 5 The new DMDTM chip provide two different functioning modes: 4:3 mode (4:3 aspect: 800x600 active pixels) and 16:9 mode (16:9 aspect: 848x480 active pixels). While 4:3 mode matches computer images and traditional video sources, the 16:9 mode is the ideal solution for DVD players and HDTV, as it offers an increased horizontal resolution (848 pixels) and a reduced "load time", which means a major improvement in fast moving images. Switching from 4:3 mode to 16:9 mode is easy and immediate by simply pressing the "Mode" button on the remote control or with the use of the screen menu. The renowned DCDiTM technology is adopted for deinterlacing: conversion from interlaced to progressive produces a smooth and natural image, without flickering, loss of vertical resolution and jaggedness along diagonal lines. The low-noise ventilation system ­ with variable speed fans ­ ensures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability. To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the use of a good quality screen and surround-sound system. Contact your nearest authorized SIM2 Multimedia dealer for further details. Fig. 4 Using the very latest in DLPTM technology, this projector has been designed specifically for high quality "Home Cinema" applications. Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital satellite receivers and personal computers etc. The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like installation (Fig. 5). A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior uniformity and edge-to-edge definition. A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so called "rainbow effect" and gives a better contrast, better colorimetry and a lower black level to the image. 5 ENGLISH 1 2 3 5 8 7 4 6 12 11 13 17 10 9 14 15 20 16 19 21 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Projection lens Lens shift knob.
