manual abstract
The projector's Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector's Basic Picture Menu. See page 28 for more information. What is Aspect Ratio? Aspect ratio is the ratio of the image width to image height. TV screens are usually 4:3, which is the default for this projector. HDTV and most DVDs are 16:9. If you're projecting onto a screen, the size/shape of the screen may determine which aspect ratio to use. If you are projecting onto a blank wall, you don't have the screen size restriction. What you plan to project will also help you choose between 4:3 and 16:9. Most TV shows are 4:3, while most movies are 16:9. If you have a 16:9 screen then you should select an aspect ratio of 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, and Native for 4:3 content. If you have a 4:3 screen you should still use 16:9 for anamorphic movies or HDTV, but you also have the option of using either 4:3 (to fill the screen) or Native (for direct pixel mapping) for 4:3 content. Keep in mind that anamorphic movies only appear correctly if the DVD player is set to output to a 16:9 television. 4:3 screen 16:9 screen □ □ Do Not Use 4:3 mode 16:9 mode I I Native mode (NTSC only) I Video device connections No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or provide your own. Composite video connection Plug the composite video cable's yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video 2 connector on the projector. Plug the white connector of a Mini-plug audio Y-cable into the left audio out connector on the video device and plug the red connector into the right audio out connector on the video device. Plug the other end of the cable into the Audio In Video connector on the projector. Keep in mind that video output from composite connections is not as high quality as S-video. S-video connection If your video device uses a round, four-prong S-video connector, plug an S-video cable into the S-video connector on your video device and into the Video I connector on the projector. Use the audio cable as described above. Keep in mind that S-video delivers higher quality video output than composite. VESA connection If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled "To Monitor" on the video source. Plug the computer cable into the Computer I or Computer 2 connector on the projector. Component video connection If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VESA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the Computer I or Computer 2 connector. Component offers the highest quality video output. 13 Shutting down the projector The projector automatically displays a black screen after no active source is detected for 30 minutes. This black screen helps preserve the life of the projector. The image returns when an active source is detected or a remote or keypad button is pressed. Screen Save Time You can make the black screen appear after a preset number of minutes by turning on the Screen Save Time feature in the Setup menu. See page 30. Auto Off Time The projector also has a Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the lamp off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can change the length of time, see page 30. Turning off the projector To turn the projector off, press the Power button on the remote or keypad. The lamp turns off and the LED blinks amber for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp. When the lamp has cooled, the LED lights amber and the fans stop. Unplug the power cable to completely power off the projector. Troubleshooting your setup If your image appears correctly on the screen, skip to the next section. If it does not, troubleshoot the setup. The Status Indicator Panel on top of the projector indicates the state of the projector and can help you troubleshoot. ((!?
