Important safety instructions

Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information

technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that

you follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.

Safety Instructions

1. Please read this manual before

you operate your projector. Save

it for future reference.

2. Do not look straight at the

projector lens during operation.

The intense light beam may damage

your eyes.

3. Refer servicing to qualified

service personnel.

4. Always open the lens shutter or

remove the lens cap when the

projector lamp is on.

5. In some countries, the line voltage is

NOT stable. This projector is

designed to operate safely within a

mains voltage between 100 to 240

volts AC, but could fail if power cuts

or surges of ±

±±10 volts occur. In

areas where the mains voltage

may fluctuate or cut out, it is

recommended that you connect

your projector through a power

stabilizer, surge protector or

uninterruptible power supply

(UPS).

6. Do not block the projection lens with

any objects when the projector is

under operation as this could cause

the objects to become heated and

deformed or even cause a fire. To

temporarily turn off the lamp, press

BLANK on the projector or remote

control.

Important safety instructions4

Safety Instructions (Continued)

7. The lamp becomes extremely hot

during operation. Allow the

projector to cool for approximately

45 minutes prior to removing the

lamp assembly for replacement.

8. Do not operate lamps beyond the

rated lamp life. Excessive operation

of lamps beyond the rated life could

cause them to break on rare

occasions.

9. Never replace the lamp assembly or

any electronic components unless

the projector is unplugged.

10. Do not place this product on an

unstable cart, stand, or table. The

product may fall, sustaining serious

damage.

11. Do not attempt to disassemble this

projector. There are dangerous high

voltages inside which may cause

death if you should come into

contact with live parts. The only

user serviceable part is the lamp

which has its own removable cover.

Under no circumstances should you

ever undo or remove any other

covers. Refer servicing only to

suitably qualified professional

service personnel.

12. When the projector is under

operation, you may sense some

heated air and odor from its

ventilation grill. It is a normal

phenomenon and not a product

defect.

Important safety instructions 5

Safety Instructions (Continued)

13. Do not place this projector in any of

the following environments.

- Space that is poorly ventilated or

confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance

from walls and free flow of air around

the projector.

- Locations where temperatures may

become excessively high, such as the

inside of a car with all windows rolled up.

- Locations where excessive humidity,

dust, or cigarette smoke may

contaminate optical components,

shortening the projector's life span and

darkening the image.

- Locations near fire alarms

- Locations with an ambient temperature

above 40°C / 104°F

- Locations where the altitudes are higher

than 3000 m (10000 feet).

14. Do not block the ventilation holes.

- Do not place this projector on a blanket,

bedding or any other soft surface.

- Do not cover this projector with a cloth

or any other item.

- Do not place inflammables near the

projector.

If the ventilation holes are seriously

obstructed, overheating inside the

projector may result in a fire.

15. Always place the projector on a level,

horizontal surface during operation.

- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more

than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle

of more than 15 degrees front to back.

Using the projector when it is not fully

horizontal may cause a malfunction of, or

damage to, the lamp.

16. Do not stand the projector on end

vertically. Doing so may cause the

projector to fall over, causing injury or

resulting in damage to the projector.

Important safety instructions6

Safety Instructions (Continued)

17. Do not step on the projector or place

any objects upon it. Besides probable

physical damage to the projector,

doing so may result in accidents and

possible injury.

18. Do not place liquids near or on the

projector. Liquids spilled into the

projector may cause it to fail. If the

projector does become wet,

disconnect it from the power supply's

wall socket and call BenQ to have the

projector serviced.

19. This product is capable of displaying

inverted images for ceiling mount

installation.

Use only BenQ's Ceiling Mount Kit for

mounting the projector and ensure it is

securely installed.

Ceiling mounting the

projector

We want you to have a pleasant

experience using your BenQ

projector, so we need to bring this

safety matter to your attention to

prevent possible damage to person

and property.

If you intend to mount your projector

on the ceiling, we strongly recommend

that you use a proper fitting BenQ

projector ceiling mount kit and that

you ensure it is securely and safely

installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand

projector ceiling mount kit, there is a

safety risk that the projector may fall

from the ceiling due to an improper

attachment through the use of the

wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a BenQ projector

ceiling mount kit from the place you

purchased your BenQ projector.

BenQ recommends that you also

purchase a separate Kensington lock

compatible security cable and attach it

securely to both the Kensington lock

slot on the projector and the base of

the ceiling mount bracket. This will

perform the secondary role of

restraining the projector should its

attachment to the mounting bracket

become loose.

Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage

in accordance with local disposal

laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

Positioning your projector18

There is 5% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ

recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test

the projection size and distance using the actual projector before you permanently install it, so

as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine

the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Positioning your projector 19

Shifting the projection lens

The lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the

projector to be positioned off the center of the screen.

The lens shift is expressed as a percentage of the projected image width or height. It is

measured as an offset from the projected image’s horizontal or vertical center. You can

shift the projection lens within the allowable range depending on your desired image

position.

• Lens shift adjustment will not result in a degraded picture quality. In the unlikely event that

the image distortion is produced, see "Correcting keystone" on page 32 for details.

• Do not rotate the lens shift knob after you hear the click. Press lightly when rotating the

knob back to its original position.

Connecting video source devices

You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the

connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method

you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the

projector and the video source device as described below:

In the connection illustrations shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector

(see "Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.

Connecting audio

The projector has one built-in mono speaker which are designed to provide basic audio

functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not

designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in

home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed

into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker.

The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.

• The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is

connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 27 for details.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also

connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output

of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD)

menus.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the

sound is from.

HDMI 2/MHL

Audio input port AUDIO IN (mini jack) AUDIO (L/R) HDMI

The projector can play the

The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and

which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select the

COMPUTER/PC signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN mini jack. If you

select the COMPONENT/VIDEO signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO

(L/R).

• Black Level

Sets the picture grayscale to 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE.

The grayscale video signal is measured in IRE units. In some areas which use NTSC

TV standard, the grayscale is measured from 7.5 IRE (black) to 100 IRE (white);

however, in other areas where PAL equipment or Japanese NTSC standards are

used, the grayscale is measured from 0 IRE (black) to 100 IRE (white). We suggest

that you check the input source to see if it is with 0 IRE or 7.5 IRE, then select

accordingly.

• Gamma Selection

Gamma refers to the relationship between input source and picture brightness.

•1.6/1.8/2.0/BenQ: Select these values according to your preference.

environment, meeting room or family room.

•2.3/2.4: Best for viewing movies in a darkened environment.

•2.6/2.8: Best for viewing movies which are mostly composed of dark

scenes.

• Brilliant Color

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level

enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant

colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone

images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector

reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that

quality, select On. If you don’t need it, select Off.

• Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in

classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or

where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms,

lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered.

Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more

accurate color reproduction.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and

reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light

meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color

reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your

projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even

an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted.

When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation

according to your preference.

1. Press OK and the Color Management page displays.

2. Highlight Primary color and press ◄ ►/ to

select a color from among Red, Green,

Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.

3. Press ▼ to highlight Hue and press ◄ ►/ to

select its range. Increase in the range will

include colors consisted of more proportions

of its two adjacent colors. Please refer to the

illustration to the right for how the colors

relate to each other.

For example, if you select Red and set its

range at 0, only pure red in the projected

picture will be selected. Increasing its range will include red close to yellow

and red close to magenta.

4. Press ▼ to highlight Saturation and adjust its values to your preference by

pressing ◄ ►/ . Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of

pure red will be affected.

5. Press ▼ to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by pressing

◄ ►/ . The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected.

Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for other color adjustments.

7. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments.

Submenu Functions and Descriptions

Aspect Ratio

The native display resolution of this projector is in a 16:9 aspect ratio. However,

you may use this function to display projected picture of different aspect ratio.

In the following illustrations, the black portions are inactive areas and the

white portions are active areas.

• Auto

Scales a picture proportionally to fit the

projector's native resolution in its horizontal or

vertical width. This makes the most use of the

screen and maintains the aspect ratio of a picture.

• 4:3

Scales the picture so that it is displayed in the

center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

• 16:9

Scales a picture so that it is displayed in the

center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

• Wide

Stretches a picture in a horizontal direction to fit

the screen width. It does not alter the height of a

picture.

• Letter Box

Scales a picture to fit the projector’s native

resolution in its horizontal width and resizes the

picture height to the 3/4 of the projection width.

This makes a picture greater than the screen

height. The top and bottom edges of the

displayed picture

are cropped. This suits the contents which are

produced in letter box format (with black bars on

the top and bottom).

Image Position

Displays the Image Position window. You may use the directional arrow keys on

the projector or remote control to adjust the position of the projected picture.

The values shown on the lower position of the window change with every key

press you made.

This function is only available when the PC signal is selected.

Overscan

Adjustment

Conceals the poor picture quality in the four edges.

The greater the value, the more portion of the picture is concealed while the

screen remains filled and geometrically accurate. Setting 0 means the picture is

100% displayed.
