  • Page 4 procedure. Should this not happen, for example due to a power cut, the projector may enter a state of protection that leads to switch-on being blocked. This block will last until the internal components of the projector have completely cooled down. Be careful with cables Make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard. Keep all cables away from children. Install the projector as close to the wall socket as possible. Avoid stepping on power cords, make certain they do not become tangled, and never jerk or tug them; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make sure they do not become knotted or crimped. If the power cords become damaged, stop using the projector and request the assistance of an authorized technician. Disconnect the projector from the mains power during electrical storms and when not in use To prevent damage from lightning strikes in the vicinity, disconnect the projector during storms or when the projector is going to be left unused for a long time.

    The NERO1 projector has been design to be submit the EN60950/UL950 Safety Norms with it's glass cabinet. Nevertheless, even if the best materials and adhesives available in the market, in order to guarantee a safe application on the long long run, exclusively for the ceiling mounting applications, SIM2 has equipped the projector with glass safety screw that are aesthetic parts of its cabinet (see D, E at page 11) 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.
  • Page 16 Ceiling Mounting Invert the projector and suspend it from the ceiling using a specific bracket. To fit the bracket unscrew and remove the 4 elevator feet • Attach bracket by using 4 x M6 screws not exceeding 15 mm in thread length • For more details see page 50 “How to install a bracket to the NERO” • For ceiling mounting use only SIM2-approved ceiling brackets and adhere to the installation instructions and safety guidelines provided with the bracket. Do not over-tighten the screws. Orientation By default, the NERO1 is configured for a Front installation (projector installed upright and in front of the screen). If the projector is installed behind the screen or inverted, you can use the image orientation function of the projector (see “Projection” on page 42). Vertical Lens Shift Ideally, the projector should be positioned at a right angle to the screen and in such a way that: the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other • the projected image fills the screen perfectly • 16...

  • Page 22: Operation

    5 Operation Viewing 3D Content 3D stereo visualization offers clear and sharp 3D images thanks to single chip DLP Imaging technology. This technique achieves channel separation using active shutter glasses. Active shutter glasses turn on and off in rapid succession and stop light reaching • your eyes. The glasses are synced using a RF emitter connected to the projector. When an image is destined for the left eye, the right lens of the glasses goes dark • preventing any of the image for your left eye from reaching the right eye. The left lens is completely open. The process repeats very quickly (up to 144 times per second) for each eye. • The human brain combines the two images and creates the illusion of 3D. • Important: Glasses & Emitter are sold separately as optional accessories. Read 3D safety information at the beginning of this User Manual before viewing 3D content. Your NERO1 projector is capable of displaying 3D Images of exceptional high quality; to ensure maximum enjoyment and trouble free viewing we recommend the following guidelines.

  • Page 23: Menu

    Switch on your 3D glasses. Refer to the instructions supplied with the glasses to • ensure correct operation. The projector will automatically detect the 3D signal and you will be prompted to • wear your glasses via the OSD. To Watch 3D Content via Satellite, Cable and Games Console Switch on the NERO1 and all other relevant products such as Satellite receiver and • AV receiver and ensure the correct inputs have been selected. Select the appropriate 3D channel. • If the projector displays two distorted images side by side or one on top of each • other, select the 3D menu by pressing the “3D Format” button on the remote control (see “3D Format” at page 23). Switch on your 3D glasses. Refer to the instructions supplied with the glasses to • ensure correct operation. Important: All 3D technologies currently available today filter out a large amount of light. Therefore it is perfectly normal for the 3D image to be noticeably dimmer when compared to the picture in 2D mode. Adjust the 3D picture and LED Brightness settings accordingly for 3D viewing.

  • Page 54 HDMI Connection Issues 3D requires a substantial data throughput therefore use a good quality High Speed HDMI cable – with or without Ethernet. Avoid using excessively long HDMI cables as this contributes to poor connection issues. Cable lengths over 10 m are not recommended. Avoid using HDMI cables that have illuminated plugs or active systems that draw on the 5 V supply rail. If the 5 V drops lower than 4.7 V you will not get any picture! Sparkles of random color on screen. This usually means that the cable doesn’t have the bandwidth capabilities to handle the signal. Try changing the cable or use a shorter cable. Try using a lower resolution for example if you are using 1080p try switching to 1080i. If this solves the problem the cable is the likely culprit. When switching inputs on either the projector or the AV Receiver/Processor sometimes the picture is either green or pink. This usually means the incorrect color standard has been selected. This is sent automatically every time you switch HDMI inputs but sometimes the information is not received by the display.
