    Adaptation of the input signal resolution to the Projector resolution oc-curs without alterations of image quality, in accordance with an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several definable by the user.
    All image adjustments can be performed with the remote control with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively, the unit can be controlled by from a home automation system through the serial port.
    SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing in order to gua-
    rantee the maximum product quality.
    For  this  reason,  when  you  start  using  the  product  lamp  operating 
    hours may already be at between 30 and 60. 
    In  addition  to  the  regular  tests,  the  Quality  Control  department 
    performs additional statistical tests at the time of shipment. 
    In this case the packing may show signs of having been opened, 
    and the accumulated lamp operating hours may be slightly higher 
    than the hours associated with the standard tests.
    Thanks  to  the  new  optical  system  based  on  three  chip  DMD™,  the c3X  allows  to  take  advantage  from  DLP™  technology,  the  Texas Instruments technology.
    Each of the three DMD™ chip is dedicated to the modulation of one of  the  primar y  colors  coming  from  the  optical  prism,  the  refl  ected light, after combination by a second prism, is projected outside using an appropriate lens system.The technology of the  c3X allows to obtain images without rainbow effect or any other type of artefact, in order to enjoy an even more realistic images.
    The large number of inputs available (1  composite Video inputs, 1 S-Video inputs,  c omponent or RGB inputs, 1 graphic RGB inputs, 1 DVI-D input,  1  HDMI™  Input)  ensures  the  system  supports  a  wide  variety  of analogue and digital sources: DVD players, V cRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers, game consoles, video cameras, etc.
    c onversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by means of prestigious DcDi™ technology produces fluid, natural, images free of flicker and stairstepping artefacts.Faithful  reproduction  of  signals  at  higher  resolutions  (such  as  high definition  video  and  graphics)  occurs  without  loss  of  information  or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the processor ’s high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.

     Replace the safety fuse
     Before  making  the  replacement  disconnect  the  appli-
    ance from the mains power supply.
     The  fuse  compartment  is  close  to  the  mains  power  con-
    nector (Fig. 3). Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the fuse 
    carrier () and replace the fuse (3). Insert a new spare fuse 
    (4). Use only T 5A H fuses.

    •  Beware of power supply cables. Position the power supply cables so that they do not consti-tute an obstruction. Position the power supply cables where they  cannot  be  reached  by  children.    Install  the  units  as close as possible to the wall electrical socket outlet. Do  not  tread  on  the  power  cables,  make  sure  that  they are not tangled or pulled; do not expose the power cables to heat sources; make sure that the power cables do not become knotted or kinked. If the power cables become damaged, stop using the system and request the assistan-ce of an authorised technician.
    •  Disconnect the apparatus from the mains power supply in the event of electrical storms and when not in use. To avoid damage that could be caused by lightning striking in the vicinity of your home, disconnect the unit in the event of electrical storms or when the system will remain unused for prolonged periods. 
    •  Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to humidity.  Do  not  use  the  unit  near  water  (sinks,  tanks,  etc.);  do  not place objects containing liquids on top of or near the unit and do not expose them to rain, humidity, dripping water or spray; do not use water or liquid detergents to clean the unit.
    •  Prevent the unit from overheating. In order to allow the Projector cooling, keep at least 40 cm ( 16”) of space between the rear of the projector and the nearest wall or obstruction. Do not place the devices near heat  sources  such  as  heaters,  radiators  or  other  devices that generate heat (including amplifiers).  Do not obstruct ventilation openings. Do not place the unit in confined, poorly ventilated positions (bookcases, shelves, etc.). 
    •  Do not expose the eyes to the intense light emitted by the lamp. Never  look  directly  at  the  lamp  through  the  ventilation opening when the unit is switched on. Risk  of  eyesight  impairment.  Ensure  also  that  children  do not look directly at the lamp. •  Beware of the lens movements Avoid positioning objects close the lens. The movements ( horizontal and vetical) could be  obstructed by objects, or damage may arise from the fall of the objects. 
    •  Position the unit on a stable surface. To avoid serious injur y to persons and damage to property, make sure the units are placed on a level, flat and stable surface from which they cannot fall, tip over or slide. Pay special attention if the units are placed on a trolley so that they can be moved around. Ensure that the units are not subjected to impact. 
    •  Do not insert objects through the unit openings. Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If this should occur, disconnect the unit from the power supply 
    immediately and call an authorised technician.
    •  Energy Saving
       When  the  system  is  left  idle  for  a  long  period  disconnect 
    the Projector from the main power supply.
     This precaution allows to save energy and to prevent wear 
    and tear of the electronics devices.

    CAUTION:  In  the  case  of  ceiling  or  wall  mounting  using  a 
    suspension  bracket,  follow  the  instructions  carefully  and 
    comply  with  the  safety  standards  you  will  find  in  the  box 
    together with the bracket. If you use a bracket different to 
    the one supplied by SIM2 Multimedia, you must make sure 
    that  the  projector  is  at  least  65  mm  (2-9/16  inch)  from  the 
    ceiling and that the bracket is not obstructing the air vents 
    on the lid and on the bottom of the projector.
    Adjust the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up 
    the base of the projected image to the base of the projection 
    screen (Fig. 6).

    Position the projector the desired distance from the screen: the 
    size of the projected image is determined by the distance from 
    the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting. See 
    “Appendix c ”: Projection distances” for more information. 
    Use the motorised lens zoom to adjust the image size and the 
    motorised lens focus to achieve maximum clarity.
    With  optimum  focus  you  should  be  able  to  clearly  see  each 
    single  pixel  when  within  close  proximity  to  the  screen  (Fig.  7).

    To  activate  an  electric  motorised  screen  a  1  Volt  output  is 
    provided at the rear of the projector.  This can be connected 
    to  a  screen  interface  unit,  which  can  be  supplied  by  screen 
    manufacturers (Fig. 10).
    The output is activated (Voltage: 1 Vdc) when the projector is 
    switched on and is de-activated (no Voltage output) when the 
    projector is in stand-by mode.
    Some  manufacturers  offer  screen-masking  systems  to  help 
    frame the projected image and improve picture contrast. 
    These systems can be connected to output  , at the rear of 
    the projector (Fig. 11).

    The use of high gain screens should be avoided due to their limi-
    ted viewing angle, which is undesirable for a large audience.
    Preferably,  use  a  screen  with  black,  non-reflecting  borders, 
    which will perfectly frame the projected image.
    Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as 
    this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected 
    image.  For the true cinema experience best results are achie-
    ved with little or no ambient light.
    Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as 
    light  coloured  walls  should  be  avoided,  as  they  are  likely  to 
    interfere with the screen’s characteristics.
