1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations and thank you for choosing a
a SIM2 Multimedia SpA product (Fig. 1).

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 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 – en-
sures 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 ope-
rating hours may already be at between 30 and 60.
In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control depart-
ment 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 associated with the stand-
ard 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 (Fig. 2).

Please follow carefully the warnings listed below, to ensure safe
and long term performance of your projector.
• Do not switch on your projector when flammable liquids or
fumes are present. Do not pour or drop fluids in the vents.
��
• Connect the projector to a power supply with a nominal
voltage within the following values: 100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz,
earthed (Fig. 3).
• Do not use the projector when the room temperature is
above 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 sur-
faces such as cushions, pillows, blankets, mattresses and
carpets: the air cooling outlets underneath could become
obstructed.
100-240 Vac
50/60 Hz
• 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.
Fig. 3
• The mains plug is the disconnect device. Take care, when
installing, that the mains plug and socket outlet are easily ac-
cessible. Never pull on the cable to take it out of the socket. If
the system is ulikely 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) (Fig. 4).

• 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.
Opening the projector’s cover will invalidate warranty.
• Take care not to shake the projector whilst carrying it by the
handle.
• Always position the projector away from direct heat sour-
ces.
• Do not touch the surface of the projection lens.
• The projector must be positioned on a stable, suitable pla-
tform or be installed using a bracket for fixed ceiling or wall
installation. Do not rest the projector on the side panels or
on the rear panel when in operation.

• Take care to position cables safely, especially in dark places,
in order to avoid a trip hazard.
• For installations using a ceiling or wall-mounted bracket, ca-
refully follow the installation and safety instructions provided
with the bracket’s literature.
