Follow these video
projection tips and guidelines is you want your presentation to succeed.
1. Please do not leave the projector lamp on when the projector is not in
use except for brief times
for testing or previewing the program.
Here's why-the lamp costs $500+ and only has a certain
"lifespan" which is measured in hours.
Fortunately us humans have life spans measured in
years/decades.
2. Always, always, (every time forever) set up and test the
equipment in the exact same location
you will be using it for your "premiere"
before any guests arrive.
3. Keep the projector locked up and out of sight whenever it is
being stored or transported.
4. Don't even think of setting any liquids/drinks on the projector.
Hopefully you wouldn't anyway
but I'm covering all the bases here.
If you're using the projector outside water of any kind will
damage the illuminated bulb instantly.
5. Please tell me if you are going to use the screen and/or
projector outside before you pick up
the gear.
6. The darker your room/setting the brighter (and better) the
projected image.
7. If there is a good sound system set up at your event by a DJ or
sound company you can take
advantage of their "big sound" for your
presentation by running the supplied 50' RCA-to-1/4"
audio cable directly from the VCR into
their sound board. If they don't know how to do this you
just hired the wrong DJ or sound company.
8. Call me with any questions or problems. 215-723-6133
(studio) or 267-625-3661(cell).
Setting Up:
1. Use a flat, stable stand or table to support the video
projector.
2. Tape down any wires which people (especially kids) will need to
walk over.
3. Position the projector perpendicular to the screen (&
centered).
4. Mount the speaker on the speaker stand and position it in the
center of the screen facing the
audience (but you already knew it should be facing the
audience didn't you?)
5. Connect the video cable from the video out of the VCR to the
video in connector on the rear of the
video projector. Use the S-Video connection
(and S-Video cable supplied with the projector)
instead of the RCA/Composite (yellow) video input
connection if you are using a playback unit
(camcorder or VCR) with S-Video output
connection. The S-Video connection/cable will give you
a noticeably improved picture.
6. For direct computer hook up connect the computer to the
projector using the supplied VGA (also
called RGB) cable from the computer's external
monitor jack to one of the projectors VGA inputs.
Two computers can be hooked up simultaneously to
the projector. Use the "INPUT" button to
switch back and forth between any and all copm
6. Connect the 50' RCA-to-1/4" audio cable (supplied) to the VCR
audio output jacks (RCA jack) and
to the speakers input jack (1/4" phone jack).
If your VCR is has stereo (Left and Right) audio
jacks use the supplied mono-to-stereo
adaptor in between the VCR and the 50' RCA-to-1/4"
audio cable.
Operation:
1. Power up the video projector by pushing the "Power" button on
the remote or on top of the unit.
(note: Nearly every feature/function can be controlled
with the remote or using the buttons on top
of the projector. I'll assume your using
the remote because here in America we are addicted to
"remote possibilities". The projector only
needs a minute or two to reach full brightness.
2. To focus the image push the "LENSE" button once. The word
"FOCUS" will appear on the
screen. Use the left and right arrow keys
to focus the image/text.
3. To zoom the image in and out push the "LENSE" button twice (or
once if your still in the "FOCUS"
mode. You guessed it, use those handy left
and right arrow keys to zoom the image in and out.
4. The pictures color, contrast, tint and brightness can all be
adjusted with the on-screen menu
but you shouldn't need to make any of these
adjustments unless you want to. Push the "MENU"
button to access the on-screen menu
features/functions.
If you have any questions about the many other features and functions

check the Operations Manual in the storage case.
