Macintosh at 640x480  Macintosh at 832x624 
• If your PC 
does not 
support XGA 
you will need 
to install a 
XGA graphics 
board.  Consult 
your 
computers 
owners 
manual for 
your XGA 
configuration.  
If you need to 
install a new 
board, refer to 
the manual

manual 
supplied with 
your computer 
for more 
information 
about the 
video output 
requirements 
of the computer and any special identification or configuring required by the projector image and 
monitor. 
• Some Macintosh PowerBooks may need to set the mirroring to off to output 800x600 dot signals.  
Please consult your PowerBook manual or computer dealer for details. 
 
Before connecting 
• Turn off the components that are to be connected. 
• The projector and computer will be turned on in Using the Projector on page 13.  Do not

Using the remote control as a computer mouse - Wireless mouse function 
The supplied remote mouse receiver enables you to operate your computers mouse functions 
from the remote control.  It is a great way to control your computer-generated presentations. 
• The cursor key on the remote control operates the computer mouse functions. 
• If a Windows computer is connected, the L-CLICK button on the remote control operates as 
the computer mouse left click button and the R-CLICK button as the computer mouse right 
click button. 
• If the Macintosh computer is connected, the L-CLICK and R-CLICK buttons operate in the 
same way as the computer mouse click button. 
• While the menu is displayed on the screen (see page 18), the cursor key, L-CLICK and R-
CLICK buttons will operate to control the menu. 
Before connecting: 
• Turn off the computer, and then remove the current mouse. 
•  Connect the computer and remote mouse receiver with the supplied serial mouse cable as 
shown in the above illustration. 
• The projector and computer will be turned on as described in Using the Projector on page 
13.  Do not turn on either the computer or unit until you read this section.

Operation  
Using the Projector 
 
Before starting 
• Remove the lens cap from the lens.  
Please retain it because it must be 
replaced after use.

and dont expose the screen to direct 
sunlight or other strong light sources. 
 
1) Connect the supplied power cable to the 
unit, then to the wall outlet (the mains). 
Press the l side of the POWER switch 
(main power) on the back of the unit.  
The POWER indicator on top of the 
unit lights in amber. 
The POWER indicator on top of the 
unit lights in amber. 
 13 
						

							 
2) Press the POWER ON button on the remote control or the POWER button on t\
op of 
the unit to turn on the unit. 
The POWER indicator on top of the unit turns to green and start blinking. It will take one 
minute for the projector to be ready to use.  Wait until the indicator stops blinking and lights 
steadily in green. 
Note: While the POWER indicator is blinking, the unit doesnt turn off even if you press the 
POWER OFF button on the remote control or the POWER button on the unit. 
Tip: If you set AUTO START to ON in the menu (see page 20), the projector will turn on 
automatically after setting the POWER switch to on in step 1. 
3) Turn on the connected source (computer, VCR, DVD player, etc.). 
 If you use a video component, start playback for screen/image adjustment. 
4) Press VIDEO, S-VIDEO, or RGB to select the input source. 
 You can also select the input source with the menu operation (see page 18). 
Notes 
• If the blue, black or focus pattern screen (the background type differs depending on the 
BACKGROUND setting.  See page 19.) is projected, check the following:\
 
- Is the source is properly connected to the unit? 
- Is the source component or computer turned on? 
- Is the video signals are coming to the projector? 
• The video resolution of the connected computer can be changed.  See   page 16. 
      5)  Adjust the position and height of the unit. 
Move the unit to the position where the 
projected image is horizontally centered 
to the screen. 
• When the projected image is offset 
horizontally 
Adjust the position of the unit so that 
the unit is square to the screen 
• When the projected image is offset 
vertically 
Adjust the height balance of the unit 
with the adjusters. 
Using the adjusters to adjust the 
height balance 
There are two front adjusters and a rear adjuster. 
To lower the position of the screen, pull out the folded leg of the rear adjuster. 
For the front adjusters, rotate each adjuster until the unit is vertically parallel to the screen. 
6)  Adjust the image size with the zoom ring lever, then adjust the focus with the focus ring.

7) Change the unit setting to suit to the projecting method and selected source as described 
in step 4. 
• Select the type of projection 
 If the projected image is horizontally reversed or upside down, change the projection type.  
See page 19. 
• If the component video signal output jacks of the video component are connected to the 
RGB IN connector (see page 10), set INPUT MODE to YCbCr in the menu. 
This setting can provide a better picture image.  See page 20. 
• Adjust the projected image from the source connected to the RGB IN connector. 
The resolutions most suitable to the incoming signals will automatically be selected.  
However, if any vertical banding, noise, dot interference, or crosstalk appears on the screen, 
adjust PICTURE ADJ, then FINE PICTURE using the menus.  You can also adjust the 
horizontal and vertical position of the image.  See page 20. 
6) Adjust the picture elements and select the picture type. 
You can adjust the picture elements (see page 24); select the picture type according to the 
video contents (see page 25) and wide screen (see page 25).

• Adjusting the volume of the unit speaker (see pages 19),  
• Using the laser pointer (see page 17), 
• Turning off the image and muting the sound temporarily (see page 17), \
• Freezing a moving picture (see page 17), and 
• Enlarging the picture (see page 17). 
Note 
If POWER OFF is set to ON (see page 25), the image will be turned off if the unit has 
been projecting a blank screen for five minutes with an RGB input source. 
If the image is suddenly turned off while projecting a computer image, the computers screen

							Changing computers video resolutions 
Depending on your computers graphic capability, you may be able to select one of several 
resolutions.  Generally a computer- either a PC or Macintosh- with 1 MB VRAM will run: 
640 x 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color) 
800 x 600 at 65,000 colors. 
1024 x 768 at 256 colors. 
As the resolution increases, the number of colors you can run decreases.  With 2 MB VRAM a 
computer will run: 
640 x 480 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color). 
800 x 600 at 16.7 million colors (24 bit True color). 
1024 x 768 at 65,000 colors. 
1280 x 1024 at 256 colors.

Notebook computers and resolution standards 
This Projector is designed to project industry standardized video such as VESA (Video 
Electronics Standards Association) or VGA (Video Graphics Array).  Notebook computers do not 
use industry standards.  They use whatever timing is necessary to match their local LCD display.  
The end result is typically not standard.  By turning off your notebooks display, the timing 
parameters are a bit more like the real VESA or VGA signal.
