    A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight
    performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior
    uniformity and edge-to-edge definition.
    A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so
    called “rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better
    colorimetry and a lower black level to the image.
    The new HD2+ DMD™ chip ensures, on top of the high definition
    resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), an increased contrast ratio of >
    2800:1 thus delivering on the screen an even more realistic
    image.
    The DVI-D input allows a complete digital connectivity to an
    increasing amount of video sources equipped with digital
    outputs, thus guaranteeing a perfect reproduction, without any
    loss of information or interference in the signal.
    The renowned DCDi™
     technology is adopted for deinterlacing:
    conversion from interlaced to progressive produces a smooth
    and natural image, without flickering, loss of vertical resolution
    and jaggedness along diagonal lines.
    The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans –
    ensures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability.
    To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the use
    of a good quality screen and surround-sound system. Contact
    your nearest authorized SIM2 Multimedia dealer for further
    details.
    SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing
    in order to guarantee 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 associ-
    ated with the standard tests.

    Using the very latest in DLP™ technology, this projector has
    been designed specifically for high quality “Home Cinema”
    applications.
    Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs
    enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD
    players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital sa-
    tellite receivers and personal computers etc.
    The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to
    be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like
    installation 
    (Fig. 2).

    • The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when
    installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily
    accessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket.
    If the system is unlikely to be used for a number of days,
    disconnect the power cable and other apparatus connected
    to it.
    • To save energy, switch off the projector by using the power
    switch at the rear; when in stand-by (red light on) the
    projector continues to draw a minimal amount of power.
    • Only replace the safety fuse (on the power socket at the
    rear of projector) with a fuse identical in type and
    characteristics (T 3.15A H) 
    (Fig. 4).

    air outlets underneath the projector.
    • Do not switch on the projector if it is standing on soft surfaces
    such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and carpets:
    the air cooling outlets underneath could become obstructed.
    • Do not switch-on the projector if it is standing on surfaces
    sensitive to heat, as this may result in damage caused by
    the hot air outlets underneath. Should this be unavoidable
    take extra precaution of protecting the surfaces with a layer
    of heat resistant material.
    • Intense Light Source!  Do not stare directly into the projection
    lens as possible eye damage could result.  Be especially
    careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.
    • Do not open the projector’s cover; no user serviceable parts
    are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
