Usage Guidelines
 Do not look directly into the projection lens when the 
projector is turned on. The bright light may harm your 
eyes.
 Do not block the grills on the projector. Restricting the 
air flow can cause it to overheat and turn off. If this 
happens, you must wait a minute before attempting to 
turn it back on.
 Handle the projector as you would any product with 
glass components. Be especially careful not to drop it.
 Avoid leaving the projector in direct sunlight or 
extreme cold for extended periods of time. If this 
happens, allow it to reach room temperature before use.
 This projector is not intended for use in mainframe 
computer rooms as defined in the Standard for the 
Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing 
Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.

Setting up the Projector
If you want to project from behind a translucent screen, set up the 
projector behind your screen. See “Rear Projection” on page 38 
to reverse the image.
If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, refer to the 
Ceiling Mount Installation Guide that comes with the optional 
Ceiling Mount Kit for more information. To turn the image 
upside down, see “Ceiling Projection” on page 38. The Ceiling 
Mount Kit is sold separately.
 1. Make sure your projector is on a flat surface. It must be 
within 10 feet (3 m) of your power source and within 8 feet 
(2.4 m) of your computer.
 2. Make sure the projector and your computer are turned off.
 3. Position the projector the desired distance from the screen 
and adjust the focus ring.
 The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen 
and the zoom setting determine the size of the projected 
image. Figure 2 and Figure 3 show three projected image 
sizes. For information about image sizes at minimum and 
maximum zoom settings, see “Projected Image Size” on 
page 73.

Connecting the Cable Hub Connector  

	 
		
					

					
The cable hub connector simplifies the connection process by 
providing a central hub for all the connections between the 
projector and your computer. The connectors on the cable hub are 
labeled with icons. The cable hub also has an LED that lights 
solid green when the projector is on and the cable hub is 
functioning properly. A slowly blinking LED indicates that the 
cable hub is waiting to initialize with the projector; a rapidly 
blinking LED indicates a problem with the cable hub.
Connect the   end of the cable hub to the   connector on 
the projector’s connector panel. (Figure 4)
Figure 4  Connecting the cable hub to the projector
Note: In some older computers, the monitor connector does not 
have a hole for Pin 9. If you have trouble connecting the 
cable hub to your computer, contact Kodak Support. See 
“If You Need Assistance” on page 8

Preparing to Connect Your Equipment to the 
Projector
Note: Before you continue, make sure the projector and your 
equipment are turned off. If you’re connecting a 
computer, make sure the distance between it and the 
projector is 10 feet or less.
Now you’re ready to connect your equipment. Computers are 
connected to the cable hub. Video players are connected directly 
to the projector.
Steps for connecting the different types of equipment are given 
on the pages listed here..
Note: If you are connecting an older MACINTOSH computer 
that does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use the 
MAC adaptor between the computer and the cable hub.

Connecting a Laptop Computer 
Note: Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on 
their external video port when a secondary display device 
such as a projector is connected. Refer to your computer 
manual for the command that activates the external video 
port. Activation commands for some laptop computers 
are listed in the Appendix C.
 1. Plug the   end of the cable hub into the video connector on 
your laptop.
Figure 5 Connecting  to a laptop computer
 2. Plug either end of the audio cable into the audio connector on 
your computer.
 3. Plug the other end of the audio cable into the   connector 
on the cable hub.
Do you want to control the computer’s mouse from the 
projector’s remote or keypad?
If your computer has a PS/2 connector, use the PS/2 mouse cable.
Note: If you are connecting an older MACINTOSH computer 
that does not have a 15-pin connector, you must use the 
MAC adaptor between the computer and the cable hub.
 1. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the mouse connector 
on your computer. 
 2. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the   connector on 
the cable hub.

Figure 6 Connecting audio and mouse cables to a laptop computer
If your computer has a USB connector and is running 
Windows 98, use the USB mouse cable
Note: The USB mouse is supported for use with Windows 98 
only.
 1. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the mouse 
connector on your computer. 
 2. Plug the   end of the mouse cable into the   connector on 
the cable hub.
You must have the appropriate USB drivers installed on your 
computer to use the USB feature. Windows 98 ships with the 
appropriate drivers.
Note: A USB mouse is hot-pluggable, meaning you do not need 
to re-boot your computer after connecting the mouse to 
use it. A PS-2 mouse is not hot-pluggable.
Now you’re ready to power up the projector and your laptop.
