4 Page 4 of 36 Replacing a Bulb in an LCD Projector A Step-by-Step Guide BenQ Model #MP622c Before you begin, be sure you have the right bulb for the make/model you are working with. The BenQ MP622c uses lamp unit 6K

5 Page 5 of 36 Also keep in mind that changing an LCD bulb, while a relatively simple procedure, involves handling very costly items. BenQ bulbs cost in excess of $200. The units themselves are even more expensive. Bulb replacement should only be done by a trained technician. Step 1 Unplug the unit.

6 Page 6 of 36 Power off, If the unit has been running, allow it to cool before proceeding. Be patient. This may take up to minutes.

7 Page 7 of 36 Step 2 Now you need to access the bulb casing. Use a screwdriver to open the round panel on top of the unit. Once the screw is fully released, remove the round panel. (Note: The screw will remain attached to the panel.)

8 Page 8 of 36 Step 3 The next step is to access the bulb casing. To do this, use a phillips head screwdriver to release the screw holding it in place. Once again, the screw will remain attached to the unit.

9 Page 9 of 36 Step 4 To release the bulb casing, raise the lever. Gently, but firmly, pull the casing from the unit. Remove the spent bulb and casing.

10 Page 10 of 36 Step 5 Now, simply reverse the process. Insert a new bulb/casing and press gently but firmly in place. Secure the new bulb by screwing the casing back in place. Reposition the lever.

11 Page 11 of 36 Reattach the round plate. Plug the unit back in and turn it on.

14 Page 14 of 36 Replacing a Bulb in an Overhead Projector A Step-by-Step Guide 3M Front View 3M Side View Before you begin, be sure you have the right bulb for your make/model. Bulb specifications can generally be found printed on the unit. The model shown above is the 3M This model takes either standard or high brightness bulbs. For a standard bulb, use ENX-82V, 360 W, # ; for a high brightness bulb, use FXL-82V, 410 W, #

15 Page 15 of 36 Step 1 Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged. If the unit has been running, allow it to cool before proceeding. Step 2 Open the unit by depressing the black latch on the right side (the same side as the raised arm).

16 Page 16 of 36 Next, carefully lift the platen. Step 3 Notice the thin metal lever to the right of the bulb (see arrow). Gently draw back the lever to release the spent bulb. Use your other hand to collect the spent bulb as it is ejected.

17 Page 17 of 36 Step 4 Carefully line up the prongs on the bulb with the slots. Slide the new bulb into position. Push gently until the bulb is fully seated in the lamp socket.

18 Page 18 of 36 Return the lever to its original position to lock the bulb in place. Step 5 Close the cover.

19 Page 19 of 36 Plug the projector back in and turn it on to test that the new bulb is functioning properly.

20 Page 20 of 36 Connecting an LED Projector to Other Units A Step-by-Step Guide

21 Page 21 of 36 Connecting an LED Projector to Other Units A Step-by-Step Guide The specifics procedures to follow and cables needed to connect an LED projector to another device (computer, DVD) may vary with the make/model/age of the units involved. However, the basics are the same. This tutorial walks you through one specific system connecting a Texas Instruments BenQ LED to a Dell laptop computer and to a Magnavox HDMI DVD. Texas Instruments BenQ Model #MP622c Front/Top View

22 Page 22 of 36 Connecting the LED Projector to the Dell Laptop Computer. Step 1 You will need a Video Graphics Array (VGA) cable to do this. This cable has both prongs (green arrow) that are inserted in the outlet and side screws (red arrows) that hold the device in place. Step 2 Power cord Connect the VGA cable to the LED projector by inserting the prongs on the cable into the appropriate slot (labeled D- SUB/COMP.IN on the BenQ) and securing the cable in place by tightening the side screws. Do not over tighten the screws.

23 Page 23 of 36 Step 3 Next, connect the VGA cable to your computer by following the same procedure as above. The VGA port on this Dell model is located on the side of the unit. Placement varies with unit/model. Your computer is now connected to the LED and images on your computer will project on the screen. You can choose where to have the images displayed (computer only, screen only, computer and screen) by toggling through the various options. Press FN/F8 to access these options. See screen shot below.

24 Page 24 of 36 Connecting the LED Projector to a Magnavox HDMI DVD. This connection requires both audio and video connections. Depending on the plug options available on your DVD unit, you can choose to output the video to the LED via the VGA port, the video port, or the S-video port. For this demonstration, I will use an S-video cable. For audio, I will use a stereo to mono audio cable. (If you do not have a stereo to mono audio cable, you can use a standard audio cable and an audio y-cable instead. The y-cable merges the two audio lines into one.) Stereo (2 prongs) to mono S-video Cable (1 prong) cable Step 1 Audio S-video Plug the S-video cable into the LED projector. Then plug the mono (single) prong of the audio cable into the LED projector.

25 Page 25 of 36 Step 2 - Plug the s-video cable and the audio plugs (red and white) into the appropriate outlets on the DVD player. Power cord Audio S-video Enjoy the show.
