User’s Guide 15
■For the best picture, consider purchasing a quality projection screen. Some
screens are designed for wide-angle viewing, while others are designed to
concentrate brightness in the center. A flat surface colored white or light
gray will also give acceptable results.
■For the most comfortable viewing, center your seating around the projection
line-of-sight. Depending on the screen material, viewing from far off center
might be unsatisfactory.
■The best viewing distance is roughly the same distance from the screen as
the projector, but personal preferences vary widely.
■If possible, place the bottom of the screen slightly above the level of the
projector.
■Design the room so you can control the ambient light. Most people prefer
viewing with minimal lighting, but you can have acceptable results if you
limit ambient light on the screen. Bright room lighting might cause a
washed-out picture.
■The most common video source is a DVD player, but sources can also
include devices, such as an audio/video receiver, VCR, hard disk video
recorder, video gaming device, or satellite receiver.
■Depending on your personal setup, try to locate devices to minimize the
lengths of cables connecting them to the projector. If any cable is more than
3 m (10 ft), consider using high-quality, low-loss cables for best video and
audio quality.
■For the ultimate home-theater experience, consider including a 5.1 surround
sound system, such as a Dolby Digital system. This system has five speakers
and a subwoofer.
■For an external sound system, see the following diagram for a possible
speaker layout. Place all front speakers at the same distance from the
listener. Place the subwoofer near a wall or corner. Place surround speakers
at least as high as the listener’s head. Experiment with the speaker
placement.

Setting up
Connecting power
1. Place the projector on a stable platform located 1 to 10 m (3 to 33 ft) in front
of the screen. Ideally, the platform should be lower than the bottom of the
screen.
✎Do not place the projector on a soft surface, such as carpet or loose cloth.
This will severely limit the sound from the subwoofer.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the back of the projector 1 and the
other end to a grounded electrical outlet 2.
Setting up
User’s Guide 19
Connecting a video source
The internal DVD player provides optimal picture quality and the convenience of
a single remote control. If you connect an external video source, you should
consider picture quality.
Many video devices have more than one type of output port. When you connect
the device to the projector, choose the connection that provides the best picture
quality. Relative picture qualities are indicated by stars in the following diagram.
If you have several video sources, you can connect them to the different ports, or
you can connect them to an audio/video receiver and connect the receiver to the
projector (see “Connecting several video sources” on page 27).
The cables shown in the following sections are not included with the projector. If
you do not have an external audio system, you can connect the audio output from
the external video source to the projector audio input.
✎If you already have a home theater system with a TV, you can probably
connect the projector in place of the TV as the viewing device.

Connecting a sound system
A high-quality 2.1 sound system is built into the projector. No connections are
required when using the internal DVD player. If you connect an external video
source to the projector, you can also connect its audio output to the projector’s
audio input.
✎If you want to listen to the audio in private, connect a stereo headphone to
the headphone output. This disables the built-in speakers.
26 User’s Guide
Setting up
If you have a home theater system or external sound system, you can connect the
audio output from the internal DVD player to that system. You can connect a 5.1
surround sound system with five speakers and a subwoofer for full surround
sound (connection 1 in the following illustration). The digital audio output is
active only when using the internal DVD player. A digital audio connection
requires a digital coaxial cable, not an ordinary audio cable. Or you can connect a
stereo sound system to the projector (connection 2 in the following illustration).
✎If you connect an external sound system, turn off the internal speakers.
Press the menu button, go to Sound > Internal speakers, and turn them
off.

User’s Guide 27
Connecting several video sources
If you have several video sources, connect them to an audio/video receiver or
switch box, then connect the video output from the receiver or switch box to the
projector using the highest quality connection available. Also connect the audio
outputs from all sources to the receiver, switch box, or sound system.
✎Connect the projector’s digital audio output or stereo audio output to the
receiver, switch box, or sound system. This sends the audio from the
internal DVD player to the sound system.

Setting up
Turning the projector off
1. Press the power button on the projector or remote control to turn off the
projector. Do not hold the button down.
The power button blinks during the cool-down period, then the projector
turns off. Even though the projector is off, it uses a small amount of power
internally.
2. If you want, disconnect video and audio equipment from the projector during
the cool-down period or after the power button stops blinking.
ÄCAUTION: Do not disconnect power until the projector has cooled down (the fan stops)
and the power button stops blinking. Otherwise, you might shorten the life of the lamp.
3. If you must unplug or remove the projector, wait until the power light stops
blinking, then unplug the power cord.
If you try to turn on the projector again or insert a disc in the DVD tray during the
cool-down period, the projector does not turn on. Wait until the cool-down period
ends and the power button stops blinking.
Moving the projector

Cleaning the projector lens
You can clean the front lens of the projector using the following
recommendations. You cannot clean any of the internal surfaces.
■To minimize the risk of damaging or scratching the lens surface, blow dust
particles off the lens with clean, dry, deionized air.
■If this method does not work, use the following method:
a. Wipe the lens in a single direction with a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe
back and forth across the lens.
b. If the cloth is dirty or smears the lens, wash the cloth. If the cloth is still
dirty after washing it or the fabric is damaged, replace it.
ÄCleaning requires special consideration:
■Do not spray any type of fluid or cleaner directly on the lens surface.
Cleaners might damage the lens.
■Do not use fabric softener when washing a cleaning cloth or softener
sheets when drying the cloth. Chemicals on the cloth might damage the
surface of the lens.
■Do not store a cleaning cloth in contact with the lens for a long time
because doing so contaminates the lens with dye from the cloth. The cloth
can be contaminated if left in the open air.

Maintaining the projector
Replacing the lamp module
As the projector operates over time, the brightness of the projector lamp
gradually decreases and the lamp becomes more susceptible to breakage. You can
install a new lamp at any time to bring the projector up to factory-fresh
brightness. We recommend replacing the lamp if a warning message is displayed.
ÅReplacing the lamp module requires special consideration:
■To reduce the risk of injury, be careful when removing the lamp module as
broken glass might be present. If the lamp is broken, contact HP about
repairs that might be required due to glass fragments.
■The lamp contains a small amount of mercury. If the lamp breaks,
adequately ventilate the area where the breakage occurred. Disposal of
this lamp might be regulated due to environmental considerations. For
disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the
Electronic Industries Alliance at http://www.eiae.org.
■Because the lamp assembly operates at a very high temperature, wait 30
minutes before removing the lamp module.
1. Turn off the projector and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Loosen the 3 screws 1 on the front cover and pull out the front cover until
the tab 2 at the right end comes out of the projector 3.
4. Loosen the two screws 4 on the lamp module, and pull out the module 5.

5. Insert the new lamp module into the projector and tighten the two screws.
6. Insert the tab on the front cover into the slot in the projector and close the
cover.
7. Tighten the screws that hold the cover.
8. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period,
try reinstalling the lamp.
9. Press menu, go to Setup > Reset lamp hours, and press ok.
Replacing the battery in the remote
control
1. On the back of the remote control, push in the tab 1 and remove the battery
cover 2 to reveal the batteries.
2. Remove the old batteries and install two new AAA batteries 3.
3. Install the battery cover.
When discarding old batteries, contact your local waste-disposal provider
regarding local restrictions on the disposal or recycling of batteries.
