The HT300 E-LINK system combines the signal processing
capabilities of the DigiOptic™ Image Processor with the high
fidelity reproduction of the DLP™ technology Projector by linking
the two units via a fibre optic cable.
All image adjustments can be performed with the remote con-
trol with the aid of the On Screen Display; alternatively, the unit
can be controlled by from a home automation system through
the serial port.
The DigiOptic™ Image Processor, which should be ideally
located close to the signal sources, supports and processes a
wide range of video signals, transmitting them to the Projector
by means of a fibre optic link cable.
The Projector produces an image using the very latest Texas
Instruments DLP™ technology (1280x720 pixel DMD™HD2+
panel), a proprietary dust-sealed optical system, a new six-
segment colour wheel.
The large number of inputs available (2 Composite Video inputs,
2 S-Video inputs, up to 4 Component or RGB inputs, 2 graphic
RGB inputs, 1 DVI-D input, 1 HDMI™ Input) ensures the system
supports a wide variety of analogue and digital sources: DVD
players, VCRs, satellite and terrestrial receivers, computers,
game consoles, video cameras, etc.
The signal processing capabilities of the Image Processor en-
sure optimum reproduction of a broad range of input signals,
from interlaced video to high definition and graphics.
Conversion of interlaced video signals to progressive signals by
means of prestigious DCDi™ technology produces fluid, natural,
images free of flicker and stairstepping artefacts.
Faithful reproduction of signals at higher resolutions (such
as high definition video and graphics) occurs without loss of
information or reduction of image sharpness thanks to the pro-
cessor’s high pixel rate signal acquisition capabilities.
Adaptation of the input signal resolution to the Projector resolu-
tion occurs without alterations of image quality, in accordance
with an ample choice of aspect ratios, including several defi-
nable by the user.
The two units are connected via a three-core fibre optic ca-
ble for transmission of the digital signal from the DigiOptic™
Image Processor to the Projector and control signals in both
directions.
Transmission occurs without interference or attenuation over
distances of up to 500 m.
Moreover, the flexibility and small size of the cable allow the
maximum freedom when installing the system in your home.
SIM2 carries out comprehensive functional testing
in order to guarantee the maximum product qua-
lity.
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 asso-
ciated with the standard tests.

2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect
the power supply cable on the rear panel before
removing the top cover of the projector.
Refer to trained, authorised personnel for tech-
nical assistance.
This symbol indicates the possible electric shock
hazard associated with uninsulated live compo-
nents in the interior of the unit.
This symbol indicates the presence of important
instructions regarding use and maintenance of
the product.
The HT300 E-LINK system consists of two parts connected by a fibre optic cable: the DigiOptic™ Image Processor and the
Projector. In this manual references to the “unit” refer to one of the two units that make up the system.
Prior to switching on the projector please read
each chapter of this manual carefully as this
manual provides basic instructions for using the
projector.The installation of the lamp assem-
bly, preliminary adjustments and procedures
that necessitate the removal of the top cover,
must be carried out by authorised, trained te-
chnicians. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. To ensure safe and long term reliability
please use power cables supplied with the
projector. Observe all warnings and cautions.
LAMP WARNING
If the lamp burst, accompanied by a big bursting noise,
allow a proper ventilation before return to the area .
Please refer to your nearest dealer for the substituion
of the lamp.

• Read this manual carefully and keep it in a safe
place for future consultation.
This manual contains important information on how to install
and use this equipment correctly. Before using the equip-
ment, read the safety prescriptions and instructions carefully.
Keep the manual for future consultation.
• Do not touch internal parts of the units.
The units contain electrical parts carrying high voltages and
operating at high temperatures. Do not remove the cover
from the units, refer to qualified service personnel for all
repair and maintenance requirements.
The warranty will be automatically invalidated if the cover is
removed from the units.
• Power supply disconnect device.
The device for disconnecting the units from the mains power
supply is constituted by the power cable plug. Ensure that
the power cable plugs and the electrical mains socket
outlets are easily accessible during installation operations.
To disconnect the units from the electric power supply, pull
the plug to remove it from the socket outlet. Do not pull the
power cable.
• Use only the specified type of mains power supply.
Connect the units to a mains electrical supply with rated
voltage of between 120-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and equipped
with a protective earth connection. If you are unsure of the
type of mains power supply in your home, consult a quali-
fied electrician. Ensure that the power draw of the units is
commensurate with the rating of the electrical socket outlets
and any extension cables that are used.For the DigiOptic™
Image Processor use exclusively the power supply unit pro-
vided or an alternative power supply unit expressly approved
by SIM2.

• Beware of power supply cables.
Position the power supply cables so that they do not con-
stitute an obstruction.
Position the power supply cables where they cannot be
reached by children.
Install the units as close as possible to the wall electrical
socket outlet. Do not tread on the power cables, make sure
that they are not tangled or pulled; do not expose the power
cables to heat sources; make sure that the power cables do
not become knotted or kinked. If the power cables become
damaged, stop using the system and request the assistance
of an authorised technician.
• Disconnect the apparatus from the mains power
supply in the event of electrical storms and when
not in use.
To avoid damage that could be caused by lightning striking
in the vicinity of your home, disconnect the units in the event
����������
of electrical storms or when the system will remain unused
for prolonged periods.
• Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to hu-
midity.
Do not use the units near water (sinks, tanks, etc.); do not
place objects containing liquids on top of or near the units
and do not expose them to rain, humidity, dripping water
or spray; do not use water or liquid detergents to clean the
units.
• Prevent the units from overheating.
Do not obstruct ventilation openings. Do not place the units
near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other devices
that generate heat (including amplifiers). Do not position
the units in confined, poorly ventilated places (bookcase,
shelves, etc.).
• Do not expose the eyes to the intense light emit-
ted by the lamp.
Never look directly at the lamp through the ventilation ope-
Risk of eyesight impairment. Ensure also that children do
not look directly at the lamp.
• Position the unit on a stable surface.
To avoid serious injury to persons and damage to property,
make sure the units are placed on a level, flat and stable
surface from which they cannot fall, tip over or slide. Pay
special attention if the units are placed on a trolley so that
they can be moved around. Ensure that the units are not
subjected to impact.
• Do not insert objects through the units’ openin-
gs.
Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the units. If
this should occur, disconnect the unit from the power supply
immediately and call an authorised technician.
ning when the unit is switched on.
