2. INSTALLATION
This section describes how to set up your MT1056 projector and how
to connect video and audio sources.
Setting up Your Projector
Your MT1056 Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get
started, you must first:
1.Determine the image size.
2.Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you
can project your image.
Carrying the Projector: Always carry your projector by the handle.
Ensure that the power cable and any other cables connecting to video
sources are disconnected before moving the projector.
When moving the projector or when it is not in use, cover the lens with
the lens cap.

Attaching the lens cap to the bottom of the projector
with the supplied string and rivet.
Selecting a Location
The further your projector is from the screen or wall, the larger the
image. The minimum size the image can be is approximately 30" (0.76
m) measured diagonally when the projector is roughly 4.3 feet (1.3 m)
from the wall or screen. The largest the image can be is 300" (7.6 m)
when the projector is about 36.9 feet (11.3 m) from the wall or screen.
Using a Tabletop or Cart
1.Place your projector on a flat level surface at the optimal dis-
tance from the screen or wall so you realize the size image you
want.
(Avoid having bright room lighting or sun light directly on the screen
or wall where you’ll be projecting the image.)
2.Connect the power cable, remove the lens cap and turn the pro-
jector on.
(If no input signal is available, the projector will display a
background image.)
3.Ensure that the projector is square to the screen.

String
4.Move the projector left or right to center the image horizontally
on the screen.
5.To center the image vertically, lift the front edge of the projector
and press the One-Touch Tilt button on the front-left side of the
projector to release the Front Adjustable foot.

Mac’s video port.
The new Macintosh computer such as
G3 will have the 15 pin HD connec-
tor. The MT1056’s “Plug and Play”
data will be downloaded to the
Macintosh. Therefore, a Mac adapter
will not be necessary.
Macintosh (Desktop type)
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your MT1056 (XGA)
projector will enable you to project your computer’s screen image for
an impressive presentation.
To connect to a PC or Macintosh, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and computer.
2.Use the signal cable that’s supplied to connect your PC or Macintosh
computer to the projector.
3. Turn on the projector and the computer.
4.If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused
by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve connected to the
projector.

You can connect your projector to a DVD player with component outputs or Video output. To do so, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your projector and DVD player.
2. If your DVD player has the component video (Y/Cb/Cr) output, use a commercially available component video cable (RCA3) and the optional
15-pin-to-RCA (female)3 cable to connect your DVD player to the RGB INPUT connector on the projector.
For a DVD player without component video (Y/Cb/Cr) outputs, use common RCA cables (not provided) to connect a composite VIDEO output of
the DVD player to the Video Input of the projector.
3. Turn on the projector and DVD player.

Customizing Basic/Custom Menu
The Basic/Custom menu can be customized to meet your requirements.
Selecting a menu item from the “Basic/Custom Menu Edit” list, allows
you to custom tailor the menu items to your needs.
1.Select “Basic/Custom Menu Edit” to display the “Basic/Custom
Menu Edit” screen.
2.Use the ▲ or ▼ button to highlight your selection and press the
Enter button to place a check mark next to an option. This action
enables that feature.
Press the Enter button again to clear the check box.
If you select an item with a solid triangle
and press the Enter
button on the remote control or the projector cabinet, you can
enable all the items within that submenu.
Also you can turn on an item within the submenu without placing
a check mark on the main menu item.
NOTE: Up to 12 main menu items (within Basic/Custom Menu Edit, not
including submenu items) can be selected.
4.Return the image to the original size.
Correcting Keystone distortion
Press (+) or (-) to correct keystone (trapezoidal) distortion to make the
top or bottom of the screen longer or shorter so that the projected
image is rectangular.
KEYSTONE
NOTE: The maximum keystone angle that can be corrected is 40 degrees up-
ward and 20 degrees downward with the projector placed horizontally on the
ground plane.
Depending on the type of graphics being used, the picture may get blurred or
keystone correction may not be possible when excessive keystone correction
is used.
The idea is, the closer you are to native resolution, the better image you will
see.
Freezing a picture
Press the Freeze button to freeze a picture. Press again to resume
motion.
