  • Page 17: Notes.on.remote.control.operation

    Notes on Remote Control Operation • In most situations, you can simply point the remote control at the screen which will reflect the IR signal from the re- mote back toward the IR receiver on the projector. In some cases, however, ambient conditions may prevent this. If so, point the remote control at the projector and try again.
  • Page 18: Installation Considerations

    3.2 Installation Considerations Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are installing a projector tempo- rarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to ensure your projector performs optimally. Installation Type Choose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or inverted mount.
  • Page 19: Throw.distance

    Throw Distance (TD) = Screen Width (w) x Lens Throw Ratio Figure 3-2: Estimated Throw Distance Two models of the H9080FD are available, one with 1.56-1.86:1 lens (PA03500-002) and the other with 1.85-2.40:1 lens (PA03500-001). With optional zoom adaptors throw ratios of 1.24 – 3.0 can be achieved.
  • Page 20: Vertical.and.horizontal.position

    Vertical and Horizontal Position Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular, perfectly-centered image that com- pletely fills the screen. Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen. The lens center should be aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen areas. The lens should be centered in the middle of the screen.
  • Page 21: Folded.optics

    Folded Optics In rear-screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may be used to fold the optical path, as shown in Figure 3-4. The position of the projector and mirror must be accurately set. If you are considering this type of installation, contact your dealer for assistance.
  • Page 22: Lens.shift

    Lens Shift The H9080FD has a lens shift capability which allows the vertical movement of the image without moving the projector. Lens shift is generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height. For ceiling mounted projectors, the lens can be moved 120% (0.6V) downward, while the lens can be moved 120% (0.6V) up or down on a desktop mounted projector.
  • Page 23: Horizontal Lens Shift

    Horizontal Lens Shift: The H9080FD has a lens shift capability which allows the horizontal movement of the image without moving the projec- tor. The lens can be moved 30% (0.15H) to the right or left within the housing. This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No particular lens or projector is used in this example.
  • Page 24: Mounting The H9080Fd

    Use only the Vivitek-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your projector. Install the mount kit ence, you can invert the H9080FD and suspend it from the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture. according to the instructions provided with it.
  • Page 25: Connections To The H9080Fd

    3.4 Connections to the H9080FD Proceed as follows to connect the H9080FD to your video sources, external controller(s) - if present - and AC power. When connecting your equipment: • Use the correct signal cables for each source. • Ensure that the cables are securely connected. Tighten the thumbscrews on connectors that have them.
  • Page 26 RGB Connections: Connect your personal computer or other RGB source to the RGB input. Optionally, if the source outputs RGB with composite sync, connect the green, blue and red outputs to the Y, Pb and Pr terminals on the COMPONENT 1/SCART input and the sync output to the VIDEO input. See Figure 3-8.

    RS-232 Controller Connection Connect a PC or home theater control/automation system (if present) to the RS-232 port on the H9080FD; see Figure 3-11. Use a standard, 9-pin serial cable, wired straight-through. For more information about using this connection, refer to Serial Interface Specifications on page 58.
  • Page 30: Connecting.an.external.ir.receiver

    If infrared signals from the remote control cannot reach the projector due to excessive distance or obstructions such as walls or cabinet doors, you can connect an external IR repeater system to the IR INPUT on the H9080FD to extend the range of the remote control.
