turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling” on page 31. We recommend
using an InFocus authorized ceiling mount.

• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance image
from the lens of the projector to the screen, the zoom setting, and the
video format determine the size of the projected image.
Projection angle
• The image exits the projector at a given angle. This image offset is
112.2%. This means that if you have an image 10’ high, the bottom of
the image will be 1.12’ above the center of the lens.

Required computer connections
Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the Computer In con-
nector on the projector and the other to the VESA connector on your com-
puter. If you are using a desktop computer, you will need to disconnect the
monitor cable from the computer’s video port first (you can connect this
monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector, see below).

Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the back of the
projector and to your electrical outlet.

NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.

Optional computer connections

To get sound from the projector, connect an audio cable (optional cable, not
included) to your computer and to the red and/or white Audio In connec-
tors on the projector. You may also need an adapter.

connect monitor cable

If you are using a desktop computer and want to see the image on your
computer screen as well as on the projection screen, connect the computer’s
monitor cable to the Monitor Out connector on the projector.

To advance slides in a PowerPoint presentation using an optional remote connect USB cable
control, plug the USB cable into the USB mouse connector on your com-
puter and the USB connector on the projector.

For Aspect Ratio, keep in mind that DVD players must be configured for
16:9 in order to view the highest quality image. For more information
regarding Aspect Ratio, see page 12.

Connecting a video device 4:3 screen 16:9 screen

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 via the red and white A/V connec-
tors. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from Do Not Use 4:3
the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and mode
connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater sys-
tem.
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. Exam-
ples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and sat-
ellite TV boxes. Basically, any device that can change channels is considered
a tuner.
16:9
Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you
mode
want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the
projector’s Picture Menu. See page 28 for more information.
What is Aspect Ratio?
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
determine which aspect ratio to use. 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 TV shows are 4:3, while most
movies are 16:9. Native
mode
If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for (NTSC
anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 only)
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.

device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug

Composite video connection quality video output.
Plug the A/V cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the
video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video 2 con-
nector on the projector.
Plug a white connector into the left audio out connector on the video device
and plug a red connector into the right audio out connector on the video
device. Plug the remaining white connector into the white audio in connec-
tor on the projector, and plug the remaining red connector into the red
audio in connector on the projector.
Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high
quality as S-video.

S-video connection
If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an
S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the
S-video 1 connector on the projector. Use the A/V cable’s red and white
audio connectors as described directly above (the yellow connectors on the
A/V cable are not used).
Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than com-
posite.

VESA connection
If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included
computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connec-
tor may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer
cable into the Computer In connector on the projector.

Shutting down the projector The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the
projector and can help you troubleshoot.
The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is
detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the pro-
jector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or
keypad button is pressed.

Using the remote control
The remote uses two (2) provided AA batteries. They are easily installed by
sliding the cover off the remote’s back, aligning the + and - ends of the bat- navigation
teries, sliding them into place, and then replacing the cover. buttons
Caution: When replacing the batteries, be aware that using batteries other
than the type provided with the projector may risk severe damage to the
remote. When disposing of the batteries, be sure to do so in an environmen-
tally proper manner.
To operate, point the remote at the front of the projector (not at the com-
puter). The range of optimum operation is about 15 feet (4.5m).
Press the remote’s Power button to turn the projector on and off (see
page 14 for shutdown info).
Press the remote’s Menu button to open the projector’s menu system. Use
the arrow buttons to navigate, and the Select button to select features and
adjust values in the menus. See page 27 for more info on the menus.
The remote also has a Source button to switch between sources.

Troubleshooting the remote

• Make sure the batteries are installed in the proper orientation and are
not dead.
• Make sure you’re pointing the remote at the projector or the screen, not
the computer, and are within the remote range of 15 feet (4.5m). For
best results, point the remote at the projector.

22
Using the audio
Using the projector’s speaker connect audio cable
To use the projector’s speaker, connect your source to the Audio In connec-
tors (L and/or R) on the projector’s composite connectors.
To adjust the volume, press the Volume buttons on the keypad.
Troubleshooting Audio
If you aren’t hearing the audio, check the following:
• Make sure the audio cable is connected. adjust volume
• Make sure the volume is turned up enough. Press the Volume button
on the keypad or remote.
• Make sure the correct source is active.
• Make sure that you are connected to an “audio out” connector on the
source as opposed to a “line-in” or “microphone” connector.
• Adjust the audio source.
• If playing a video, make sure the playback has not been paused.
Connecting external speakers
The projector can be attached to external amplified speakers by connecting a
3.5mm stereo audio cable from the Audio Out connector on the projector to external speakers
