Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image

Powering up the Projector and Adjusting the Image

1Remove the lens cap.

2Plug the power cord into the front of the projector, then plug it into your electrical outlet. A surge-protected power strip is recommended if power surges are common in your area.

3Turn on the projector by pressing the “I” side of the power switch on the front of the projector.

•The InFocus startup screen displays and the Power LED lights (Figure 14 on page 17).

4If you connected a video player, turn it on.

•Press the video 1 button on the keypad or remote to display the image from your video player. See “Video” on page 18 for details on the video button. (You can select a default source to determine which source the projector examines first during power-up for active video; see “Default Source” on page 27.)

5If you connected any external speakers, turn them on.

•Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume.

•If you don’t want to hear the sound from your video player, press the mute button.

6If you connected your monitor, turn it on.

7Turn on your computer.

•The computer image should display on the projection screen. (If a video source is active, press the computer but- ton to display your computer’s image.)

•If necessary, use the brightness buttons on the keypad to adjust the brightness. You can make further adjustments to the image from the projector’s on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the menu button on the remote or keypad. Then select the Display or Image menus. For more informa- tion about the menus, see page 20.

•If you don’t want to hear the sound from your computer or video player, press the mute button.

NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.

CAUTION: If the lamp LED remains solidly lit after the projec- tor has powered on, the lamp needs to be replaced. Refer to “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 33 for more information.

NOTE: With some computers, the order in which you power up the equipment is very important. Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer’s documentation to determine the correct order.
