USING THE PROJECTOR

This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus.

Basic Image Adjustment

1Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 21).

2If the image doesn’t display completely, adjust the height and tilt of the projector (page 25), zoom the image (page 25), or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical posi- tion (page 36).

3If the image is out of focus, rotate the lens to focus it (page 25).

4If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 35) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and tracking. If that doesn’t clear up the image, adjust the sync (page 36) and/or the tracking (page 36) manually.

5If the colors don’t look right, adjust the brightness (page 27) and tint (page 31).

Using the Remote Control

Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front or rear of the projector. The range for optimum operation is about 40 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the dis- tance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 40 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the front or the rear of the projector.

The projector ships with a two-button remote. (A full-feature Smart Remote with all the same buttons as the keypad is avail- able separately; see “Optional Accessories” on page 52.) The remote has a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom.

NOTE: In Focus has created a software program called In Focus Presents that automatically opti- mizes your computer’s display when used with any In Focus pro- jector. This free program is included with every projector and available for download from our website at www.infocus.com.

NOTE: If you can’t aim the remote control at the projector so that its signal is received — for example, when using rear projec- tion — purchase the optional Smart Remote and connect it directly to the projector with the optional remote control cable. See “Optional Accessories” on

page 52.

LP 730 specifications

The InFocus LP 730 is a high-performance LCD projector that caters to the needs of both business and educational environments. Known for its reliability and versatility, this projector is designed to deliver exceptional image quality and user-friendly functionality, making it a preferred choice among professionals.

One of the main features of the InFocus LP 730 is its impressive brightness, measured at 2,500 ANSI lumens. This high lumen output ensures that images remain vivid and clear, even in well-lit rooms. Coupled with a contrast ratio of 2000:1, the LP 730 is capable of producing deep blacks and vibrant colors, making it suitable for video presentations as well as detailed data projections.

The LP 730 boasts a native resolution of XGA (1024 x 768), which is ideal for displaying text and images with sharp detail. This resolution is particularly beneficial for presentations that include charts, graphs, and intricate visuals. The projector also supports various video formats, including 720p and 1080p, allowing for flexible input options.

In terms of connectivity, the InFocus LP 730 offers a range of ports, including HDMI, VGA, and composite video inputs. This variety enables users to connect multiple devices such as laptops, DVD players, and gaming consoles, making it a versatile choice for different usage scenarios. The presence of a USB port allows for quick and easy presentations directly from a USB drive without the need for a computer.

The LP 730 incorporates advanced DLP technology, which enhances color accuracy and overall image quality. This technology ensures that colors remain true-to-life while minimizing the rainbow effect that some viewers may experience with traditional projectors. Additionally, the projector features a built-in speaker system, which delivers clear audio for presentations and videos, eliminating the need for external speakers in small to medium-sized rooms.

Portability is another strong point of the InFocus LP 730. With its compact and lightweight design, it can easily be transported between locations, making it a practical choice for traveling professionals or educators who need to present in multiple venues.

Finally, the projector is equipped with energy-efficient features, including a power-saving mode that reduces lamp brightness when the projector is idle. This not only prolongs the lifespan of the lamp but also lowers energy consumption costs.

In summary, the InFocus LP 730 is a robust and versatile projector that combines high brightness, excellent resolution, and a variety of connectivity options, making it an excellent choice for business and educational applications.
