Setting up

Setting up the projector

Planning your layout

Consider the following suggestions when planning your room layout:

???Select the projector and screen positions and the screen size according to your room layout and the distance chart below. The zoom control on the projector gives you some flexibility.

???Be sure the projector is centered on the screen and perpendicular to it. Otherwise, the picture might look lopsided.

???For the best picture, consider purchasing a quality projection screen. Some screens are designed for wide-angle viewing, while others are designed to concentrate brightness in the center. A flat surface colored white or light gray will also give acceptable results.

???For the most comfortable viewing, center your seating around the projection line-of-sight. Depending on the screen material, viewing from far off center might be unsatisfactory.

???The best viewing distance is roughly the same distance from the screen as the projector, but personal preferences vary widely.

???If possible, place the bottom of the screen slightly above the level of the projector. Or you can mount the projector upside down on the ceiling (see ???Installing on the ceiling??? on page 47).

???Design the room so you can control the ambient light. Most people prefer viewing with minimal lighting, but you can have acceptable results if you limit ambient light on the screen. Bright room lighting might cause a washed-out picture.

???The most common video source is a DVD player, but sources can also include devices, such as an audio/video receiver, VCR, hard disk video recorder, video gaming device, or satellite receiver.

???Depending on your personal setup, try to locate devices to minimize the lengths of cables connecting them to the projector. If any cable is more than 3 m (10 ft), consider using high-quality, low-loss cables for best video and audio quality.

???For the ultimate home-theater experience, consider including a 5.1 surround sound system, such as a Dolby Digital system. This system has five speakers and a subwoofer.

???For an external sound system, see the following diagram for a possible speaker layout. Place all front speakers at the same distance from the listener. Place the subwoofer near a wall or corner. Place surround speakers at least as high as the listener???s head. Experiment with the speaker placement.

Setting up

???For best picture quality, place the projector 1.5 to 5 m (5 to 16 ft) from the screen.

Setting up

Setting up

Connecting power

1.Place the projector on a stable platform located 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) in front of the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the screen.

2.Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector 1 and the other end to a grounded electrical outlet 2.

If you want to permanently install the projector on the ceiling or behind the screen, see ???Installing the projector??? on page 47.

Setting up

Connecting a video source

Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect the device to the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture quality. Relative picture qualities are indicated by stars in the following diagram. If you have several video sources, you can connect them to the different ports, or you can connect them to an audio/video receiver and connect the receiver to the projector (see ???Connecting several video sources??? on page 26).

Only the S-video and composite-video cables shown in the following sections are included with the projector. A DVI port is available only on certain models.

???If you already have a home theater system with a TV, you can probably connect the projector in place of the TV as the viewing device.

Setting up

Connecting a component-video source

Maintaining the projector

Getting the projector status

To get the projector status, press the menu button on the projector or remote control and go to Help. This screen shows information and status for the projector.

Cleaning the projector lens

You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.

???To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.

???If this method does not work, use the following method:

a.Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe back and forth across the lens.

b.If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.

??Cleaning requires special consideration:

???Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface. Cleaners might damage the lens.

???Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener sheets when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the surface of the lens.

???Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time because doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Maintaining the projector

Replacing the lamp module

As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.

??Replacing the lamp module requires special consideration:

???To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as broken glass might be present. For a ceiling installation, wear goggles and gloves when removing the lamp module. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.

???The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks, adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of this lamp might be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at http://www.eiae.org.

???Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30 minutes before removing the lamp module.

1.Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.

2.Unplug the power cord.

3.Loosen the 3 screws 1 on the front cover and pull out the front cover until the tab 2 at the right end comes out of the projector 3.

4.Loosen the two screws 4 on the lamp module, and pull out the module 5.

Maintaining the projector

5.Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the two screws.

6.Insert the tab on the front cover into the slot in the projector and close the cover.

7.Tighten the screws that hold the cover.

8.Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp.

9.Press menu, go to Setup > Reset lamp hours, and press ok.

Replacing the battery in the remote control

1.On the back of the remote control, push in the tab 1 and remove the battery cover 2 to reveal the batteries.

If your projector has a serial port, you can connect the projector to a room controller using a serial (RS-232) cable. After you program the room controller using the following commands, you can use the room controller to operate the projector and other components of your home theater.

Serial connections

The serial port on the projector uses a standard serial (RS-232) cable:

???Pin 2: data sent to the projector (RxD)

???Pin 3: data sent from the projector (TxD)

???Pin 5: ground

The room controller must use the following serial (RS-232) settings:

???9600 baud

???1 start bit + 8 data bits (D0=LSB, D7=MSB) + 1 stop bit

???No parity

???Full duplex communication channels (no flow control)

???No handshaking

Examples of room controller commands

In the following examples, ???<CR>??? and ???<LF>??? represent a carriage return and line feed, respectively.

Commands are sent to the projector as "requests" which consist of an asterisk (*) prefix, the command name, any needed parameter, and a carriage return <CR> as a terminator:

* command = parameter <CR>

Requests can contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters. Blanks (spaces) are allowed, except within keywords and numbers. Line feeds <LF> are ignored.

Installing permanently

The following table shows the specific syntax to use for various requested tasks.

In general, every request sent to the projector generates one or more notification messages, which are sent to the room controller. Actions initiated by the projector can also generate notifications.

The projector always sends notifications whenever a setting changes, whether as the result of a request from a controller, or as the result of an action, such as a button press or menu change. Some requested setting changes take time to perform, or are carried out in stages. Because of this, requests might produce delayed notifications.

The following table lists the types of notifications generated in various situations.

Incorrect commands cause the following types of notifications:

???No asterisk at start of command???no response

???Unrecognized command name???command with ??????? added

???Command that is currently unavailable???command with ??????? added

Installing permanently

???Invalid parameter???command with current value

???Action command with unnecessary parameter???action command

???Action command that is unavailable???action command

The following simplified example shows how the projector typically responds to a request to change the active input source. Note that the three latter notifications are delayed.

Room controller commands

In the following tables, if the parameter listing for a particular command is ???None,??? that command requires no parameter. Some commands are valid only when the projector is turned on, STAT=1. Some commands are available only when specific input sources are active.

If the red lamp light is flickering quickly:

???Check that the cover around the lamp at the front of the projector is correctly installed and fully attached. Check the tab at the right side of the cover and the screw at the left side.

Start-up problems

If no lights or sounds turn on:

???Be sure that the power cable is securely connected to the projector and the other end is plugged into an outlet with power.

???Press the power button again.

???Unplug the power cord for 15 seconds, then plug it in and press the power button again.

Picture problems

If a ???waiting??? message is displayed on a blank screen:

???Press the source button on the projector or remote control one or more times until the correct source name is selected.

???Be sure the external source is turned on and connected.

???For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer???s external video port is turned on. Refer to the computer manual. On some notebooks, for example, press the Fn + F4 or Fn+F5 function keys to turn on the external video port.

If the wrong input source is displayed:

???Press the source button on the projector or the remote control one or more times to select another active input source.

Fixing problems

If the image is out of focus:

???Be sure the lens cover is open.
