INSTRUCTIONS MAY ALSO RESULT IN CONDITIONS THAT VOID THE PRODUCT’S WARRANTY. The HDP-500 is a totally new projector design, combining state of the art circuit components and proprietary software that makes installation and operation easier than ever before. In order to take advantage of this breakthrough product, it is helpful to consider the installation process as containing five distinct steps.
Report any interior damage to the freight carrier and to DWIN. Before proceeding, you may wish to store the carton for future use should the unit require return to DWIN. If you discard the carton and shipping material, please observe local recycling rules.
POSITIVELY TURN THE UNIT OFF BEFORE MAKING ANY INTERNAL ADJUSTMENTS. 8. IR Sensor: This window is the sensor for the HDP-500’s remote control system. For best operation, make certain that the sensor has a direct view of the screen so that remote commands made by pointing the control at the screen will be bounced back to the sensor.
Remote Control Operation The HDP-500 has no on board user controls. All operation is controlled through the wireless remote control or the optional RS-232C link to a computer or control system.
SL-8000 remote furnished with the HDP-500 is a universal remote control capable of controlling 8 different devices. The operational instructions on this page refer to the remote buttons used with the HDP-500 only. Consult the SL- 8000 operating manual for complete information on programming the remote and using it with other devices.
“SOURCE MEMORY ENTRY” on page 20 before performing adjustments. Turn the unit on by pressing the “POWER” switch and note that the green LED on the HDP-500’s front connection panel will illuminate. Press the “MENU” button and observe that the Main Menu will appear on the screen.
Press “1” to view the focus screen. Note that the screen will display the Focus menu against a background of the crosshatch/dot pattern. Signal Level Before adjusting focus you may wish to change the signal level for the on screen test pattern. This adjustment DOES NOT affect the actual signal level for picture displays, but it does allow lower signal levels during adjustments so that they are more precise.
The HDP-500’s flexibility of geometry adjustments makes it possible to correct for differences caused by the projector’s “shooting angle” and mounting position as well as any tilt that may exist in the screen itself.

Center Pin Look at the lines that intersect the center of the screen and use the buttons on the remote to adjust the picture until they appear straight and perfectly level. It is often helpful to make these adjustments while standing at one side of the screen and looking inward toward the center of the picture.

At the Tilt screen, use the horizontal and vertical lines parallel to the screen edges. When Tilt adjustments are complete, press “8” to move directly to the next step, or press “MENU” to exit. Horizontal Lines/Bottom Pin Cushion: This is another set of adjustments that set the picture so that it is perfectly parallel and evenly adjusted to the screen.

The adjustments for Red Geometry are similar to those used to set the Green Geometry, except that instead of using the screen as a physical reference you will be matching the red channel to the green settings. The goal for all Red Geometry adjustments is to match the red lines on the test pattern directly over the green lines so that the result is a yellow line.
Coarse vs. Fine Convergence The HDP-500 offers two levels of convergence, coarse and fine. The coarse convergence is also known as “zone” convergence, while the fine convergence is sometimes referred to as “point” convergence. In the initial installation of a projector is always best to step through both convergence processes. During the life of the projector, when touch-up is required, use of the “fine”...

The coarse convergence is centered in nine areas around the edges of the raster and at the center of the image. The convergence is adjusted for a broad area around the center point. Convergence movement is intentionally slow in the course mode so that adjustments will be made with increased precision. In general, the coarse adjustment should be used first to establish a working start for the convergence process.
Page 19
When all nine coarse convergence points have been converged press “2” to move to Fine Convergence. Fine Red Convergence Once the basic Coarse convergence is complete, press “2”, as noted above, to enter the Fine Red Convergence. Here the task is also to completely cover the green lines with the red so that there is no overlap. To start the procedure, use the / / / directional arrow buttons on the remote to move the solid wall cursor...
Note, however, that any adjustments made to incoming video will be subject to the variations induced by the chroma decoder in use. It is also advisable to adjust the HDP-500’s internal settings and then make any final trims offered by the decoder, doubler or quadrupler WITHOUT changing the HDP-500’s settings.
even step of gray from one bar to the next across the screen. The far right bar should not be so bright that you cannot clearly distinguish eight separate bars on the screen. Press “1” and then use the Note: The next two adjustments are available to consumers or end users even when the menu controls are protected.
To center the picture, press “MENU” to display the Main Menu, and then press “4” to access the Centering screen. When the Centering screen is displayed, use the picture is properly centered both vertically and horizontally on the screen. If there is any overscan it should be equal the top/bottom and left/right edges of the screen.
Global Setup Adjustments In addition to the settings that must be set individually for each input source, the HDP-500 has a number of global settings that address certain aspects of the projector’s operation. They should be adjusted to the preferences of the end user before the set is delivered.
Color Temperature Adjustment: Many users consider color temperature to be one of the most important aspects of video display operation. To accommodate the wide variety of requirements for color temperature, the HDP-500 offers three factory preset color temperature settings, as well as a user adjustable setting.
Press “6” to select “Copy, Rename or Delete Video Memory”. This will display a listing of all Sources entered into the HDP-500’s memory. The list of sources is too long to fit on the screen use the through the list.
To physically mount the projector to the ceiling or a lift, follow the instructions supplied with the ceiling mount kit.
