Note:  Cool Down Mode 
After	projection,	the	hot	lamp	goes	through	a	
60-second	cool-down	process	known	as	‘cool	
down	mode’.	This	mode	is	designed	to	prevent	
damage	and	deformation	that	heat	from	the	
heated	lamp	may	cause	to	the	internal	com-
ponents	of	the	projector.	It	also	minimises	the	
chance	of	lamp	breakage	and	shortened	lamp	
life.	
The	cool	down	mode	is	indicated	by	the	blink-
ing	Standby	indicator.	When	in	the	cool	down	
mode,	the	OPERATE ON	button	is	disabled.

Remote Control
The	Meridian/Faroudja	infra-red	remote	control	
is	used	to	operate	both	DILA	projectors	and	
digital	video	processors	(DVP)	made	by	Merid-
ian.	As	a	result,	the	remote	control	unit’s	but-
tons	often	have	a	dual	function.	
To operate the appropriate device, press its Se-
lect button (labelled A on the diagram below) 
before attempting to control the unit.	
The	IR	transmitting	diode	is	located	at	the	top	
of	the	remote	control:	point	it	towards	one	of	
the	IR	sensors	at	the	front	or...

Considerations for projector 
installation
Please	read	the	following	carefully	before	in-
stalling	this	unit.	
Installation Environment 
This	unit	is	a	precision	device.	Do	not	install	it	
in	the	following	places.	Doing	so	may	cause	
fire	or	malfunction	of	the	unit.
•	 Where	there	is	water,	humidity	or	dust
•	 Where	the	unit	may	be	subjected	to	oily	or	ciga-
rette	smoke
•	 On	a	soft	surface	such	as	carpet	or	cushion
•	 Where	the	unit	may	be	subjected	to	high	tem-
perature	due	to	direct	sunlight

Projector and Screen Installation
The	optimum	image	can	be	obtained	when	the	centre	of	the	projector’s	lens	and	the	screen	are	
placed	perpendicular	to	each	other.	Take	note	of	the	projection	angle	when	placing	both	items.	
Failing	to	do	so	may	give	rise	to	trapezoidal	distortion	of	the	projected	image.	
•	 Note:	this	unit	does	not	come	with	a	function	to	correct	trapezoidal	distortion	or	adjust	horizontal	
gradient.

Screen Size and Projection Distance
Adjust	the	distance	from	the	lens	to	the	screen	to	achieve	your	desired	screen	size.	
You	will	need	to	have	specified	the	Normal	Throw	(DILA1080MF1)	or	Short	Throw	(DILA1080MF1S)	
version	of	this	projector	when	ordering.	The	Normal	Throw	version	uses	a	1.9x	power	zoom	lens,	
while	the	Short	Throw	version	has	a	1.4x	power	zoom	lens.	As	a	result,	the	Normal	Throw	version	
displays	a	given	image	size	on	a	screen	up	to	about	150%	as	far	away	as	the	same-sized	image...

Lens Shift Setting
This	unit	comes	with	a	Lens	Shift	feature	that	
enables	upward/downward	adjustment	of	the	
projection	screen	position.	Adjust	accordingly	
depending	on	the	installation	conditions.	
•	 The	shift	level	is	between	0	%	and	60	%.	The	
shift	level	is	set	to	50	%	as	the	default.	
•	 The	position	of	the	projection	screen	may	be	
out	of	alignment	due	to	the	gear	movement.	
•	 When	lens	shift	setting	(adjustment)	is	complet-
ed,	mount	the	lens	shift	cover	to	this	unit.

Connecting to Devices 
Before	connection,	be	sure	to	turn	off	both	the	projector	and	the	device	to	be	connected.	
•	 Thoroughly	read	the	manual	that	is	supplied	with	the	device	to	be	connected.	
Connecting a Video Processor
•	 A	Meridian/Faroudja	Digital	Video	processor	is	the	ideal	companion	for	your	projector.	It	is	capable	of	
processing	and	upscaling	all	your	video	sources	to	HD	quality	and	will	give	you	the	maximum	image	qual-
ity	from	any	source.	Consult	your	dealer	for	additional	information....
