InFocus IN114 Portable DLP Projector

Important Operating Considerations for Safety

• Refer to this guide for proper startup and shutdown procedures.
• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the projector.
• Place the projector in a horizontal position no greater than 15 degrees off axis.
•  Locate the projector at least 4′ (1.2m) away from any heating or cooling vents.
• Do not block ventilation openings. Locate the projector in a well-ventilated area without obstructions to intake or exhaust vents. Do not place the projector on a tablecloth or other soft covering that may block the vents.
• Do not place the projector in direct sunlight, humid, greasy or dusty places or in places where the projector may come into contact with smoke or steam.
• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.
• Do not look directly into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Do not drop the projector.
• Do not spill liquid on the projector. The spilled liquid may damage the projector. Use the power cord provided. Connect the power cord to a receptacle with a protective safety (earth) ground terminal. A surge-protected power strip is recommended.
• Do not overload wall outlets.
• When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
• Wash hands after handling the cables supplied with this product.
• The projector remote control uses batteries. Make sure the batteries’ polarity (+/-) is aligned correctly. Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local disposal laws.
• Use an InFocus-approved ceiling mount kit for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of nonapproved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location.
• When the projector is ceiling mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury before opening lamp door.
• Refer all service to qualified service personnel. Servicing your own projector can be dangerous to you and will void the warranty.
• Only use replacement parts specified by InFocus. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury, and may void the warranty
• Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non-InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector warranty.
• Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” message.
• In the unlikely event of a lamp rupture, particles may exit through the projector vents. Keep people, food, and drinks out of the “keep out” area under and
  around the projector, as indicated by the “X” areas below.
  Follow these instructions to help ensure image quality and lamp life over the life of the projector. Failure to follow these instructions may affect the warranty. For complete details of the warranty, see the Warranty Booklet.

Positioning the projector

To determine where to position the projector, consider the size and shape of your screen, the location of your power outlets, and the distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment. Here are some general guidelines:

• Position the projector on a flat surface at a right angle to the screen. The IN112 and IN114 must be at least 45.3” (1.2m) from the projection screen, the IN114ST must be at least 31” (.8m) from the projection screen, and the IN116 must be at least 55.4” (1.4m) from the projection screen.
• If you are installing the projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend using InFocus approved ceiling mounts for proper fitting, ventilation and installation. Refer to the installation guide that comes with the InFocus Ceiling Mount Kit (p/n PRJ-MNT-UNIV) for more information. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by use of non-approved ceiling mount kits or by installing in an improper location. To turn the image upside down, see “Ceiling mount” on page 27. We recommend using an InFocus-authorized ceiling mount.
• Position the projector the desired distance from the screen. The distance from the lens of the projector to the screen and the video format determines the size of the projected image.
• The image offset for the IN112/IN114/IN114ST is 115% +/-5%. This means that if you have an image 60 inches (1.5 meters) tall from a table-mounted projector, the bottom of the image will be 9 inches (22.9 cm) above the centerline of the lens. The image offset for the IN116 is 113% +/-5%. This means that if you have an image 60 inches (1.5 meters) tall from a table mounted projector, the bottom of the image will be 7.8 inches (19.8 cm) above the centerline of the lens.

Connecting a computer source

• VGA connection
  Connect one end of the provided computer cable to the Computer in 1/Computer in 2 connectors on the projector and the other to the VGA connector on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer, you will need to disconnect the monitor cable from the computer’s video port first.
• HDMI connection (IN116 only)
  HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers, and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.
• Connecting power
  Connect the black power cord to the Power connector on the rear of the projector and to your electrical outlet. If the Power Saving Mode feature is off, the Power LED on the Status Indicator Panel (page 11) blinks blue. If the Power Saving Mode feature is on, the Power LED is steady blue. By default, this feature is off. You can change the setting, see page 28. NOTE: Always use the power cord that shipped with the projector.
• Optional computer connections
  To get sound from the projector, connect an audio cable (optional cable, not included) to your computer and to the Audio in connector on the projector. You may also need an adapter.

If the image is not square, first make sure that the projector is perpendicular to the screen. If the image is larger or smaller on the top or bottom edge of the screen, press the top Keystone button to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the bottom Keystone button to reduce the lower part.
If the left or right side of the screen is larger or smaller the other, you can turn the projector to the left or to the right a few degrees to square the image.
Adjust the Contrast or Brightness in the Basic Menu. See page 25 for help with these menu adjustments.

Connecting a video device

You can connect video devices such as VCRs, DVD players, camcorders, digital cameras, video game consoles, HDTV receivers, and TV tuners to the projector. You can connect the audio directly to the projector to get sound from the built-in speaker, or you can bypass the projector’s audio system and connect the audio directly from your source to a stereo or home theater system. You can connect the projector to most video devices that can output video. You cannot directly connect the coaxial cable that enters your house from a cable or satellite company, the signal must pass through a tuner first. Examples of tuners are digital cable boxes, VCRs, digital video recorders, and satellite TV boxes.  Basically, any device that can change channels is considered a tuner.  Before connecting your projector, you should decide which aspect ratio you want to use. The projector’s Aspect Ratio setting is accessed through the Resize button on the remote or through the projector’s Basic Menu. See page 25 for more information.

• Video device connections
  No video cables are provided with the projector. You can order cables from InFocus or provide your own.
• HDMI connection (IN116 only)
  HDMI is a standard, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between sources, such as set-top boxes, DVD players, and receivers and your projector. Plug an HDMI cable into the video-out connector on the video device and into the HDMI connector on the projector.
• Composite video connection
  Plug the composite video cable’s yellow connector into the video-out connector on the video device. Plug the other yellow connector into the yellow Video connector on the projector.
• VGA connection
  If your video device has a 15-pin VGA output, plug one end of the included computer cable into the VGA connector on your video source. This connector may be labeled “To Monitor” on the video source. Plug the computer cable into either the Computer In 1 or Computer In 2 connector on the projector.
• Component video connection
  If your HD video device has component connectors, an optional Component to VGA adapter can be used. Plug the component cable into the video device. Plug the other end of the component cable into the adapter and plug the adapter into the Computer connector.
• S-video connection
  Plug the S-video cable’s connector into the video-out connector on the video device.
  Plug the other connector into the S-Video connector on the projector.
• Audio
  For audio, connect a 3.5mm stereo cable to the Audio In connector on the projector and to your source. If your source uses RCA audio connectors, a Y-cable or adapter may be used. (Note: A separate audio connection is not required for HDMI source inputs.)

Shutting down the projector

Auto Off Time
The projector also has an Auto Off Time feature that automatically turns the projector off after no active sources are detected and no user interaction with the projector is performed for 30 minutes. By default, this feature is off. You can change the length of time, see page 29.
Turning off the projector
To turn the projector off, press the Power button on the remote or keypad. The lamp turns off and the Power LED blinks blue for 1 minute while the fans continue to run to cool the lamp.

Use the Up/Down/Left/Right arrows buttons on the remote or keypad to set a 4-button press sequence. If you enter an incorrect PIN 3 times in succession, the projector will automatically shut down. If you lose or forget your custom PIN, contact InFocus Technical Support.
• To enter the PIN at projector startup:
  Power up the projector. The “Enter PIN” dialog box appears after the startup screen. Enter the PIN. Use the Up/Down/Left/Right arrows buttons on the remote or keypad to enter the correct 4-button press sequence. See the description above for instructions.

• AC Power On:When this feature is enabled, the projector automatically turns on when power is connected. This allows control of ceiling mounted projectors with a wall power switch.

Source

• Auto Source: When this feature is On, the projector automatically finds the active source, checking the selected Power-up Source first. When this feature is Off, the projector defaults to the source selected in Power-up Source. To display another source, you must manually select one by pressing the Source button on the remote or keypad and selecting one from the displayed Sourcemenu.

Maintenance

Cleaning the lens

1. Apply a non-abrasive camera lens cleaner to a soft, dry cloth.
   • The projector must be off and the lens must be at room temperature.
   • Avoid using an excessive amount of cleaner, and don’t apply the cleaner directly to the lens. Abrasive cleaners, solvents or other harsh chemicals might scratch the lens.
2. Lightly wipe the cleaning cloth over the lens in a circular motion.
   WARNINGS:

    

   • Turn the projector off and unplug the power cord before cleaning any part of the projector.
   • Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.
   • Do not open any cover on the projector, except the lamp cover.
   • Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening and removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Using the security lock
The projector has a security lock for use with a Cable Lock System. Refer to the information that came with the lock for instructions on how to use it.

Replacing the projection lamp

The Lamp Hours timer in the Projector Info menu counts the number of hours the lamp has been in use. Twenty hours before the lamp life expires, the message“Replace lamp” appears on the screen at startup.

• NOTE: Be sure to use the InFocus lamp module designed for this projector. You can order new lamps from www.infocus.com (in select areas), your retailer or your dealer. Only genuine InFocus lamps are tested for use in this projector. Use of non InFocus lamps may cause electrical shock and fire, and may void the projector warranty. InFocus is not liable for the performance,safety or certification of any other lamps.

WARNINGS:

• The projector uses a high-pressure mercury glass lamp. The lamp may fail prematurely, or it may rupture with a popping sound if jolted, scratched, or handled while hot. The risk of lamp failure or rupture also increases as the lamp age increases; please replace the lamp when you see the “Replace Lamp” message.
• To avoid burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 60 minutes before you replace the lamp.
• Do not touch or block the projector lens with any objects as this can damage the projector lens. Scratches, gouges and other lens damage are not covered by the product warranty.
• Unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not drop the lamp module. The glass may shatter and cause injury.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp module. Fingerprints can obscure projection sharpness and may cause the glass to shatter.
• Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing. In the unlikely event that the lamp ruptures, small glass fragments may be generated. The lamp module is designed to contain most of these fragments, but use caution when removing it.
• Before replacing a ruptured lamp, clean the lamp compartment and dispose of cleaning materials. Wash hands after lamp replacement.
• When replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling-mounted, wear protective eyewear to prevent eye injury.
  Hg – Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.
