Setting up your projector

Setting up the screen

Install the screen perpendicularly to the projector. If the screen can not be installed in such a way, adjust the projection angle of the projector. (See below.)

•Install the screen and projector so that the projector’s lens is placed at the same height and horizontal position of the screen center.

•Do not install the screen where it is exposed to direct sunlight or lighting. Light directly reflecting on the screen makes the projected images washed-out and hard to view.

Basic setup

Determine the distance from the screen to the projector according to the size of the images to be projected. (See page 12.)

•Do not place this projector on a carpet or blanket because the exhaust vent and the intake vent on the bottom surface are blocked and the projector would heat, causing a breakdown or fire.

•Depending on the installation conditions, warm air that is emitted from the exhaust vents may flow into the intake vent, causing the projector to display “TEMPERATURE!!” and then stop projecting images.

Adjusting the projection angle

This projector is provided with three feet for adjusting the projection angle on the bottom surface. Adjust the projection angle depending on the position of the projector.

Adjustment of the projection angle

For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the bottom of the projector.

Screen

Adjustment feet (rear)

1.Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.

2.Press the foot adjustment buttons next to the adjustment feet (rear), and the adjustment feet will come out.

3.Release the buttons to lock the adjustment feet (rear) to that position.

4.Rotate the adjustment feet (rear) for fine adjustment.

After using the projector:

5.Put the adjustment feet (rear) back into the projector by pressing the foot adjustment

buttons.

•If necessary, rotate the adjustment feet (front) for fine adjustment.

When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid:

When the screen and the projector are not placed perpendicularly to each other, projected images become trapezoidal. If you cannot make the projector and the screen perpendicular to each other by mechanical adjustments, adjust keystone. (See page 18.)

•When the keystone adjustment is applied, the correct aspect ratio may not be obtained.

•When the keystone adjustment is applied, the resolution lowers. In addition, vertical stripes ap- pear and straight lines bend in images with com- plicated patterns. To prevent such symptoms, keep the screen and the projector perpendicular to each other as much as possible.

•Though the projected image may be distorted momentarily when you change the setting value of the keystone adjustment, such symptom is not a malfunction.

•Though the projected image may be distorted depending on the setting value of the keystone adjustment and the type of the input signal, such symptom is not a malfunction. In such a case, adjust the setting value within the range where the projected image is not distorted.

•The setting value displayed at the time of the keystone adjustment may vary depending on the type of the input signal.

•The keystone mode does not function when the REAL mode is applied.

•Displayed image may be distorted during key- stone adjustment.

When fine streaks are seen on projected images

This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace the screen or displace the focus a little. (See page 17 or 21 for focus adjustment.)

HC1600 specifications

Mitsubishi Electronics HC1600 is a powerful projector that combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features, making it a popular choice for both home entertainment and professional presentations. This model is designed to deliver impressive image quality, versatility, and reliable performance.

One of the standout features of the HC1600 is its high brightness level, which reaches up to 3,000 lumens. This substantial brightness allows the projector to perform well even in well-lit environments, ensuring that images remain clear and vibrant. Coupled with a high contrast ratio, the HC1600 produces sharp images with excellent color reproduction, enhancing the viewing experience for movies, games, and presentations.

The HC1600 employs advanced DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, which contributes to its reliability and longevity. DLP projectors are known for their ability to produce smooth, detailed images, minimizing the occurrence of motion blur. This makes the HC1600 an excellent choice for fast-paced content, such as sports or action films.

In terms of resolution, the HC1600 offers a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, providing full HD clarity. This level of detail allows users to appreciate every intricate aspect of their content, whether it's the subtle textures in a film or the fine print in a presentation. For added convenience, the projector also supports a variety of input formats and resolutions, making it flexible for different multimedia needs.

Connectivity options are abundant in the HC1600. It features multiple HDMI ports, USB connections, and composite video inputs, enabling seamless integration with a range of devices including laptops, gaming consoles, and media players. The inclusion of these connectivity choices enhances its versatility as a multimedia projector.

Additionally, the HC1600 includes a built-in speaker, which, while may not replace a dedicated sound system, offers decent audio quality for less complex presentations or casual movie viewing. For those who desire an immersive audio experience, external audio devices can easily be connected, elevating the overall viewing experience.

The design of the HC1600 is also worth noting. It is lightweight and compact, making it suitable for both stationary setups and portable use. Users can easily transport it to different locations, whether for business meetings, classrooms, or home movie nights.

In summary, the Mitsubishi Electronics HC1600 is a well-rounded projector that brings together brightness, resolution, and connectivity into one package. Its DLP technology ensures high quality images while its diverse input options guarantee compatibility with many devices. Whether for casual viewing or professional presentations, the HC1600 stands out as a reliable option for all multimedia needs.
