2. Installation guidelines 2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 2.1 Safety warnings WARNING: Before installing the projector, read first the safety instructions in the safety manual (R5975258) delivered with the projector. Insure that the projector is installed in an easy to evacuate room in case of a lamp explosion. Mercury Vapor Warnings Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector contains mercury.
2. Installation guidelines What about ambient light ? The ambient light level of any room is made up of direct or indirect sunlight and the light fixtures in the room. The amount of ambient light will determine how bright the image will appear. So, avoid direct light on the screen. Windows that face the screen should be covered by opaque drapery while the set is being viewed. It is desirable to install the projection system in a room whose walls and floor are of non-reflecting material.

Use ←or → , the numeric keys on the remote, or the keypad to change the Noise reduction setting. 6.4.2 Aspect ratio Aspect ratios The standard aspect ratio used in broadcast television is the 4:3 ratio. However, most of the DVD sources use nowadays the widescreen 16:9 or even the cinemascope 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Some DVD sources may even use the anamorphic 16:9 or anamorphic 2.35:1 to take advantage of the higher vertical resolution offered by the 4:3 ratio.

We can conclude that the thumb rule for DVD projection is to always leave the projector in 4:3 format except when dealing with anamorphic sources where the 16:9 setting allows the best reproduction. The Auto function calculates an aspect ratio based on the information stored in the image files.
6. Advanced Image 6-26 The aspect ratio settings are greyed out in case the Show native resolution or the Full screen representation setting is enabled. How to set a custom Aspect ratio ? 1.

6. Advanced Image 6-39 6.4.8 Dynacolor™ What can be done? DynaColor™ will eliminate channel-to-channel color variations. How to define color? The CIE chromaticity diagram is one way to plot the colors the human eye can see. Image 6-40 The CIE chromaticity diagram A projector can only reproduce a certain color gamut within this diagram. This color gamut is defined by the triangle formed by the x, y coordinates of Red Green and Blue. These parameters are used by the DynaColor™ adjustment.
6. Advanced Image 6-42 The color gamut of each projector will differ When working with a multichannel setup, these color differences between different projectors can be smoothed out by matching the color gamuts of the different projectors to a Common Color Gamut. Image 6-43 Common Color Gamut The Common Color Gamut In a basic setup with 2 projectors, the perimeter of the Common Color Gamut is described by the 6 points of intersection of the 2 separate color gamuts.

6. Advanced Image 6-46 Dynacolor™ g (Light Output) Value The value g in the Dyancolor™ interface represents a relative light output. g=1 is the maximum available light output. Assume we have a projector. L=1 in the Dyancolor™ interface will correspond with a ’maximum full white light’ output of x Lumens. Important ! In the projectors iD R600 and iD Pro R600 (R9010340 and R9010350) the measuring is done with white peaking = 0.

Press MENU to activate the Tool bar 2.
6. Advanced Image 6-60 The AGC can be disturbing in case of Macrovision encoded signals, therefore the AGC can be disabled (OFF) at any time 6.4.12 Manual Gain Control What can be done ? Beside the AGC there is the possibility to manually set the gain of the incoming video signal. When the AGC is enabled (ON), the manual setting does not affect the gain, AGC must therefore be disabled.

The windows may be of the video or data type. What are the different possibilities within the PiP mode ? The input section of the IQ projector allows a multitude of combinations of different input signals which may be projected in the 4 windows of the PiP screen.
6. Advanced What are the different PiP layouts ? • Full screen2 The full screen is used to display one of the selected sources. Browsing through the sources is possible with the PiP Adjust button on the remote. • 2–by-2 raster2 The screen is divided into 4 subscreens containing 2 Video and 2 Data sources.

C. Maintenance C. MAINTENANCE Overview • Cleaning the lens • Cleaning the dustfilters C.1 Cleaning the lens To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces, we have developed recommendations for clean. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses. Necessary tools Toraysee TM cloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

Place the projector so as to access easily the filter to be cleaned 2. Push the handle downwards to unlock the filter. (image C-2) 3. Slide out the filter (image C-3, image C-4, image C-5) See image C-6. 4. Clean the dust filter with a dry cloth. 5. Re-insert the dust filter by sliding it back in the filter housing.
C. Maintenance Image C-6 Input filter removed Image C-5 Input filter removal If the airflow is falling under a predetermined treshold value a warning will be displayed on the screen. Image C-7 At that time it is strongly recommended to replace or clean the dustfilter under the X-cube. Failing to do so, will strongly reduce the lifetime of the LCD’s and the analyzers. The manufacturer reserves itself the right to refuse warranty repair if the projector was working with dirty dustfilters.
