This section explains how to install and set up the projector. If you are familiar with the projector and want to quickly
set it up for temporary use, follow the
Quick Setup
instructions below. For a more complete setup, follow the
instructions and guides covered in the remaining subsections.
NOTE:
The lens is not installed for shipping. Refer to
4.5, Replacing the Lens.
Follow these steps for quick setup of the projector in a standard floor mount position.
Use either the remote or built-in keypad to work with the projected image.
Position the Projector
Set the projector at the expected throw distance (projector-to-screen distance) and
vertical position. See
2.3, Projector Position and Mounting
and
Appendix D
. Ensure
the projector is level from side-to-side (see
Section 2.9, Leveling
).
Connect a Source
Locate the main input panel at the rear of the projector and connector your source to
the appropriate input:
•
INPUT 1
(upper right area) – RGB input via BNC connectors.
•
INPUT 2 (
left of BNCs) – digital or analog signals (DVI-I) from a computer.
•
INPUT 3
(upper middle area) – composite video.
•
INPUT 4
(upper middle area) – S-video.
•
INPUT 5
(lower area) – a factory-installed
Dual SD/HD-SDI
module that can
accept serial digital is included on Roadster models.
•
INPUT 6
(lower area) – for optional input modules (see
Appendix F
).
Connect to Power
The North American rated line cord is provided with each projector. For all
other regions, ensure that you are using a line cord, power plug and socket that
meet the appropriate rating standards.
Connect the projector’s line cord to the AC receptacle (Roadster
S+20K/HD18K/Mirage HD18 have non-detachable line cords) at the lower corner on
the rear of the projector, and to proper AC—note the outlet must be near the
equipment and easily accessible. Use
only
the line cord provided with the projector
or
a power cord of appropriate ratings that comply with regional standards. Power
requirements are shown below, with complete information in
Section 6
.
