Introduction

Projector features

The projector integrates high-performance optical engine projection and a user-friendly design to deliver high reliability and ease of use.

Some of the features may not be available on your projector. Actual performance may vary and is subject to model specifications.

• The power saving function decreases the power consumption of the lamp by up to 70% when no input signal can be detected for a set period.
• Presentation timer for better control of time during presentations
• LAN Settings allow management of projector status from a remote computer
• Supports 3D display
• Color Management allowing color adjustments to your liking
• Less than 0.5W power consumption when power saving mode is turned on
• Screen Color correction allows projection on surfaces of several predefined colors
• Quick auto search speeding up the signal-detecting process
• Color modes provide choices for different projection purposes
• One-key auto-adjustment to display the best picture quality (only for analog signal)
• Digital keystone correction and/or 4 corner adjustment to correct distorted images
• Adjustable color management control for data/video display
• Ability to display 1.07 billion colors
• Multi-language On-Screen Display (OSD) menus
• Switchable normal and economic modes to reduce power consumption
• Component HDTV compatibility (YPbPr)
• HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function allows synchronized power ON/ OFF operation between the projector and a CEC-compatible DVD player device connected to the HDMI input of the projector

The apparent brightness of the projected image will vary depending on the ambient lighting conditions, and selected input signal contrast/brightness settings, and is directly proportional to projection distance.

The lamp brightness will decline over time and may vary within the lamp manufacturer’s specifications. This is normal behavior.

Operation

Starting up the projector

1. Plug the power cord into the projector and a wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted).
2. Press Power to start the projector. As soon as the lamp lights up, a “Power On Ring Tone” will be heard. The Power indicator light stays blue when the projector is on. (If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image’s clearness.
   • If the projector is still hot from the previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 90 seconds before energizing the lamp.
   • To maintain the lamp life, once you turn the projector on, wait at least 5 minutes before turning it off.
   • To turn off the ring tone, see “Turning off the Power On/Off Ring Tone” on page 43 for details.
3. If the projector is activated for the first time, select your OSD language following the on-screen instructions.
4. Switch all of the connected equipment on.
5. The projector will start to search for input signals. The current input signal being scanned appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. If the projector doesn’t detect a valid signal, the message ‘No Signal’ will continue to be displayed until an input signal is found.
   • You can also press Source to select your desired input signal. See “Switching input signal” on page 25 for details.

If the frequency/resolution of the input signal exceeds the projector’s operating range, you will see the message ‘Out of Range’ displayed on a blank screen. Please change to an input signal that is compatible with the projector’s resolution or set the input signal to a lower setting. 

Adjusting the projected image

Adjusting the projection angle

The projector is equipped with an adjuster’s foot. It changes the image height and vertical projection angle. Screw the adjuster foot to fine-tune the angle until the image is positioned where you want it.

If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal. To correct this situation, see “Correcting keystone” on page 26 for details.

• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause damage to your eyes.

Auto-adjusting the image

In some cases, you may need to optimize the picture quality. To do this, press Auto Sync on the remote control. Within 5 seconds, the built-in Intelligent Auto Adjustment function will re-adjust the values of Frequency and Clock to provide the best picture quality.

The current source information will be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen for 3 seconds.

• The screen will display the ViewSonic logo while the auto adjustment is functioning.
• This function is only available when the PC D-Sub input signal (analog RGB) is selected.

Fine-tuning the image clarity

If necessary, sharpen the image by rotating the focus ring.

Correcting keystone

Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image becomes a trapezoid due to angled projection.

To correct this, besides adjusting the height of the projector, you will need to manually correct it by following one of these steps.

• Using the remote control

1. Press to display the Keystone correction page.
2. Press to correct key stoning at the top of the image. Press to correct key stoning at the bottom of the image. Press to correct key stoning at the right side of the image. Press to correct key stoning at the left side of the image.

• Using the OSD menu

1. Open the OSD menu and go to the DISPLAY > Keystone menu.
2. Press Enter.
3. Press to correct key stoning at the top of the image or press to correct key stoning at the bottom of the image. Press to correct key stoning at the right side of the image. Press to correct key stoning at the left side of the image.

Maintenance

Care of the projector

You need to keep the lens and/or filter (optional accessory) clean regularly. Never remove any parts of the projector. Contact your dealer when any part of the projector needs replacing.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently wipe the lens surface.

CAUTION: Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in “Shutting down the projector” on page 44 and unplug the power cord.

• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then wipe the case.

CAUTION: Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner, or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
