Product revision • Because we at Digital Projection continually strive to improve our products, we may change specifications and designs, and add new features without prior notice. Projectors built prior to this revision of the User Manual may therefore not include all the features described.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the lamp module. The whole module should be replaced. Only lamps supplied by Digital Projection and intended for this projector should be used. Fitting any other lamp could damage both projector and lamp, and will invalidate the warranty.
Digital Projection User Manual Important Information M-Vision Cine 230, Cine 260, Cine 400 Installation precautions Notes The projector must be installed only by suitably qualified personnel, in accordance with local building codes. The projector should be installed as close to the power outlet as possible. The power connection should be easily accessible, so that it can be disconnected in an emergency.
Electronic Equipment. Our products are designed with reuse, recycling and recovery of all components in mind. To this end, at end of life, your projector may be returned to Digital Projection Ltd or its agent so that the environmental impact can be minimised.

2. Installation Digital Projection User Manual M-Vision Cine 230, Cine 260, Cine 400 Screen requirements Notes Aspect ratio Fitting the image to the DMD The projector uses a DMD (Digital Mirror Device) to create the image that is projected onto the screen. The resolution of the DMD in this projector is 1920 x 1080 pixels, or to put it another way, its aspect ratio is 16:9.
Digital Projection User Manual 2. Installation M-Vision Cine 230, Cine 260, Cine 400 Examples of 4:3 images displayed with different aspect ratio settings Notes The 4:3 image shown here has far fewer pixels than the 1920 x 1080 of the DMD. Your image Native may be different.
2. Installation Digital Projection User Manual M-Vision Cine 230, Cine 260, Cine 400 Diagonal screen sizes Notes Screen sizes are sometimes specified by their diagonal size (D) in inches. When dealing with large screens and projection distances at different aspect ratios, it is more convenient to measure screen width (W) and height (H).
