    MountingThere are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen 
    installation, one method may be more suitable than another. 
    Floor Mounting: In typical front and rear screen installations the projector can be mounted 
    to a secure and level surface, such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector 
    during a presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to 
    prevent it from being moved during a presentation.
    Ceiling Mounting: The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling using 
    a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is recommended for fixed 
    installations and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited space for 
    projector and audience.
    Folded OpticsIn rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used 
    to fold the optical path, as shown in 
    Figure 3-6. The position of the projector and mirror must 
    be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for 
    assistance.

    Connections to the Vision 
    10/12
    Proceed as follows to connect the Vision 10/12 to your video sources, external controller(s) -- 
    if present -- and AC power. 
    When connecting your equipment:
     Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
     Use the correct signal cables for each source.
     Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors 
    that have them. 
    Connector Panel AccessTo access the connector panel, press and hold the black door release button. Then, pull 
    gently on it to open the door.
    Connecting the Vision 10/12
    to Source 
    Components
    Connect your video sources to the Vision 10/12 as shown and described in the sections that 
    follow.
    DVI Connections: The Vision 10/12 has a DVI input for connecting a DVD player, DTV 
    decoder, personal computer or any other device with a DVI or HDMI output. Connect such 
    devices as shown in 
    Figure 3-7 or Figure 3-8. 
    Route all cables through the opening on the rear underside of the 
    projector. This allows you to keep the connector panel access door closed, 
    making for a more tidy installation. 
    Tip
    ➤
    ➤
    Use the DVI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the highest video 
    quality because the signal is carried in the digital domain throughout the 
    entire signal path, from source component output into the projector. 
    In order to connect an HDMI component, you need a DVI-to-HDMI cable or 
    adapter (not included).
    The Vision 10/12 supports the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC) standard. 
    This standard provides “Plug and Play” capability; the projector and a 
    VESA DDC-compatible computer communicate their setting requirements, 
    allowing for quick and easy setup.
    In order for Plug and Play to work correctly, you must turn on the projector 
    before you turn on the connected computer.

    1. Refer to Computer Signal Compatibility on page 60 for a list of 
    computer signals compatible with the Vision 10/12. Use with signals 
    other than those listed may cause some functions not to work.
    2. Some Macintosh computers may require a Macintosh video adapter. 
    Contact your nearest authorized service center or dealer.
    3. This Vision 10/12 may not be able to display images from notebook 
    computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should this occur, switch 
    the notebook computer to “CRT only” mode. If you are unsure how to do 
    this, refer to your notebook computer’s user manual.

    Turning on the Power
    1. Turn on your source components.
    2. Plug the female end of the power cord into 
    the AC receptacle on the rear of the Vision 
    10/12 (AC 100V ~ 240V).
    3. Connect the other end to your AC power 
    source. The power indicator lights blue to 
    indicate that the Vision 10/12 is in “standby” 
    mode.
    4. Press the ON button on the remote control 
    to turn on the projector. The power indicator 
    turns off.
    5. After a brief warm-up period (approximately 
    10 seconds), the Vision 10/12 will start projecting.
    4.2 
    Adjusting the Projector 
    Height or Projection Angle
    When the Vision 10/12 is installed upright, you can adjust the projector height or projection 
    angle by turning the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector; see 
    Figure 4-1. This 
    is useful for correcting the angle of projection when the projector is placed on an uneven 
    surface or when the screen is at an angle. You can tilt the projector up to five (5) degrees up 
    or down by adjusting the feet.
    The feet are connected to threaded bolts; turn them clockwise to raise the projector or 
    counterclockwise to lower it. 
    Figure 4-1. Adjusting the Feet

    Tilting the projector may cause keystone distortion. To correct this, refer 
    to
