1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations and thank you for choosing the HT 300

XTRA, a SIM2 Multimedia SpA product

(Fig. 1)

C-SYNC

DVI

XTRA

A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight

performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior

uniformity and edge-to-edge definition.

A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so

called “rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better

colorimetry and a lower black level to the image.

The new HD2+ DMD™ chip ensures, on top of the high definition

resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), an increased contrast ratio of >

2800:1 thus delivering on the screen an even more realistic

image.

The DVI-D input allows a complete digital connectivity to an

increasing amount of video sources equipped with digital

outputs, thus guaranteeing a perfect reproduction, without any

loss of information or interference in the signal.

The renowned DCDi™technology is adopted for deinterlacing:

conversion from interlaced to progressive produces a smooth

and natural image, without flickering, loss of vertical resolution

and jaggedness along diagonal lines.

The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans –

ensures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability.

To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the use

of a good quality screen and surround-sound system. Contact

your nearest authorized SIM2 Multimedia dealer for further

details.

SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing

in order to guarantee the maximum product quality.

For this reason, when you start using the product

lamp operating hours may already be at between

30 and 60.

In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control

department performs additional statistical tests at

the time of shipment.

In this case the packing may show signs of having

been opened, and the accumulated lamp operating

hours may be slightly higher than the hours associ-

ated with the standard tests.

Using the very latest in DLP™ technology, this projector has

been designed specifically for high quality “Home Cinema”

applications.

Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs

enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD

players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital sa-

tellite receivers and personal computers etc.

The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to

be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like

installation

• The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when

installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily

accessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket.

If the system is unlikely to be used for a number of days,

disconnect the power cable and other apparatus connected

to it.

• To save energy, switch off the projector by using the power

switch at the rear; when in stand-by (red light on) the

projector continues to draw a minimal amount of power.

• Only replace the safety fuse (on the power socket at the

rear of projector) with a fuse identical in type and

characteristics (T 3.15A H)

35°C (95°F).

• Do not obstruct the cooling air inlets on the top cover, or the

air outlets underneath the projector.

• Do not switch on the projector if it is standing on soft surfaces

such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and carpets:

the air cooling outlets underneath could become obstructed.

• Do not switch-on the projector if it is standing on surfaces

sensitive to heat, as this may result in damage caused by

the hot air outlets underneath. Should this be unavoidable

take extra precaution of protecting the surfaces with a layer

of heat resistant material.

• Intense Light Source! Do not stare directly into the projection

lens as possible eye damage could result. Be especially

careful that children do not stare directly into the beam.

• Do not open the projector’s cover; no user serviceable parts

are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Position the projector on a stable, suitable platform or utilise

the optional bracket for a fixed ceiling or wall installation.

CAUTION: In the case of ceiling or wall mounting

using a suspension bracket, follow the instructions

carefully and comply with the safety standards you

will find in the box together with the bracket. If you

use a bracket different to the one supplied by SIM2

Multimedia, you must make sure that the projector

is at least 65 mm (2-9/16 inch) from the ceiling and

that the bracket is not obstructing the air vents on

the lid and on the bottom of the projector.

Adjust the feet underneath to obtain a level position, lining up

the base of the projected image to the base of the projection

screen

Position the projector the desired distance from the screen:

the size of the projected image is determined by the distance

from the lens of the projector to the screen and the zoom setting.

See “Appendix B”: Projection distances” for more information.

Use the motorised lens zoom to adjust the image size and the

motorised lens focus to achieve maximum clarity. With optimum

focus you should be able to clearly see each single pixel when

within close proximity to the screen
