Page 60: Connecting To A High-End Workstation
Connecting to a High-End Workstation The PowerLite 5350, 7250, and 7350 are capable of remapping input resolutions up to 1280 × 1024 pixels. Since 1280 × 1024 pixels is the default resolution for most leading workstations, this capability makes these projectors the best portable solution for the display of workstation video output.
Page 61 (See Chapter 3.) Note that the projector will then be able to detect only one type of video signal. The type of cable you use to connect the video source to the projector depends on whether you have composite video, S-Video, or component video.
Page 62 To connect a video source to the projector: 1. Turn off the projector and video source if they are on. 2. If your video source uses a small, round, one-prong composite (RCA) video connector, you’ll need the audio/video cable that comes with the projector.

Page 77 If you need to raise or lower the image on the screen, extend or retract the two feet at the bottom of the projector as follows: 1. Stand behind the projector and support the front of it while you lift up on the foot adjust levers, located above the feet. This unlocks the adjustable feet so they can move up and down.
Page 78: Resizing The Projected Image
With images greater than SVGA size (up to 1024 × 768 pixels), you can project the entire image in a compressed format. If you keep pressing the Resize button, the projector will pan around areas of the image. The projector automatically reduces the image size to the projector’s maximum resolution.
Page 79: Sleep Mode
This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. When the projector is in sleep mode, you can press the Power button to start projecting images, or you can unplug the projector’s power cord.

Page 143: Maintenance
You should keep the lens clean because any dirt or smears appear on the screen. You also need to periodically clean the air filter at the bottom of the projector. A clogged air filter can block ventilation needed to cool the projector and keep it from overheating.
Page 144: Cleaning The Lens
Warning: Before you clean any part of the projector, turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. Never open any cover on the projector, except the lamp and filter covers. Dangerous electrical voltages in the projector can injure you severely. Do not try to service this product yourself, except as specifically explained in this User’s Guide.
Page 145: Cleaning The Air Filter
To clean the air filter, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cable. 2. Turn the projector on its side so that the handle is on top and you can access the filter easily.
