Thank you for your purchase of this quality Vidikron video projector! It has been designed to provide you with the quality of video
that is expected in a home theater. For the best performance, please read this manual carefully as it is your guide through the
menus and operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Do not use this equipment near water, outdoors or otherwise exposed to the elements.
5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. Do not block any ventilation openings.
7. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
8. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized type plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The third prong is provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
9. The 12V trigger only outputs DC 12V signal for triggering. Do not connect to any other power input or output. This could cause

removing the lamp assembly for replacement. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps
beyond rated life could cause them to explode in rare occasions.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way,
objects have fallen or spilled into the projector, the projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.

Description, Features and
Benefits
The Vision 30 Series DLP Projectors offer the astounding picture quality and versatility
heretofore associated with more expensive projectors. Their 1280 x 720 native resolution
DLP light engine incorporates all-new technology for bright, pristine high-definition images.
With throw distances of 1.38 – 1.80:1 on the Vision Model 30 and 1.88 – 2.45:1 on the
longer-throw Model 30ET, both units offer the performance and installation flexibility
custom home theater enthusiasts have come to expect from Vidikron — all at a superb price
and packaged with outstanding build quality.
Advanced Vidikron Imagix™ digital video processing is engineered into these all-new
projection systems to achieve improved image quality even from standard video sources, in
addition to artifact-free scaling of higher resolution formats.
The Vision 30's illumination system incorporates Vidikron's exclusive DualV Stage
Illumination™ (DVSI™), which provides two light intensity levels to allow maximum flexibility
for screen size, ambient light conditions, brightness and contrast balance, and lamp life
preservation. It also has a newly-refined cooling system, which increases efficiency and
reduces noise levels.
The Vision 30 has been engineered to comply with Imaging Science Foundation™ (ISF)
standards for maximum home theater image quality. Vidikron's sophisticated parameters for
white balance and color gamut control have also been implemented for precise balance of
gray scale and color.
For uncompromising widescreen reproduction of movies originally filmed in the “scope”
(2.35:1) format, the Vision 30 can be equipped with Vidikron’s patent-pending CineWide™
technology, a combination of software, electronics and high-quality anamorphic optics.
CineWide maintains constant vertical height on the screen just as in a movie theater. When a
viewer transitions from 1.78:1 (16:9) program material to 2.35:1, the image simply gets wider
while full height is maintained.
Discrete IR and RS-232 control make custom installation seamless, while discrete source and
aspect ratio selection accommodate any automation control system.
CineWide requires the use of a 2.35:1 or similar aspect ratio superwide format
screen.

HDCP-compliant digital video input for connecting a DVD player or HD tuner with a DVI
or HDMI output.
6. COMP 2 / RGB
Five, BNC connectors for connecting either RGB or component (YPbPr) high-definition
television signals. (The Vision 30 automatically detects the signal format.)
7. RS-232 CONTROL PORT
A female, RJ-11 connector for interfacing with a PC or home theater automation/control
system.
2.3
Built-In Keypad
To control the projector when signals from a remote
control cannot reach it, use the built-in keypad next to
the connector panel.
Because the built-in keypad has fewer keys than the
remote keypad, certain projector functions are
accessible only through the menu system rather than via
a direct key.
For best results, do not run your DVD player in progressive mode.
