Safety Please read below before operating:

• Do not look directly into the lens or open the case while the projector is running. This could cause severe injury to your eyes.

• Please keep the projector away from liquids. This could cause electric shock and damage your projector.

• Do not attempt to change the lamp while the projector is running or soon after it has been turned off. If you need to change the lamp please consult the “Lamp Replacement” section at the end of this user guide.

• After you turn off the projector please wait 15 minutes before turning it back on. Failing to wait 15 minutes will decrease the life of the lamp and the projector.

• Please only use the unit or remote power button to turn off the projector. Do not unplug the unit while it’s running or turn the unit off using the main power switch. This will cause severe damage to the lamp and the projector.



Do not cover any of the projector vents.

• There are protective circuits and alarming devices located inside the projector. When the internal temperature rises caused by an improper environment or blocked vents, the projector will automatically shut down. We strongly recommend you keep the projector in a cool room. This will prolong the overall life of the projector.

• Please keep the projector where the temperature does not exceed 85 °F (29.4 °C). The LCD inside the projector will develop black spots if left in warm environments. This heat damage will not be covered under warranty.

• Please leave the projector in a ventilated environment. Do not enclose your projector when mounting. This could cause heat damage.

• Avoid using the projector in a high temperature, dusty, and or dirty environment.

• Do not touch the projector lens with your hands. If the projector is left unused for long periods of time please cover the lens with the cap provided.

• When you are done using the projector and the fan has shut off, please turn off the main power switch and remove the plug. This will avoid damage from voltage waves.

• The projector is composed of many precise electronic and optical components. Other than changing the lamp there are no parts that should be serviced by the owner. If you attempt to open the projector yourself any warranty will be null and void. FAVI’s warranty provides 90 days on labor and 1 year on parts. Please contact your FAVI dealer for any warranty claim.

Step 1 – Connecting DVD Player • •



Composite Audio/Video – Take your composite cable (red/white/yellow) and connect it to the corresponding output on your DVD player. Then connect to the composite inputs on your projector. S-Video – Connect the S-Video cable to the output on the DVD player and then connect to the projector S-Video input.

a composite audio cable (red/white) to the corresponding cable box outputs and then to audio composite inputs (red/white) on the projector. Component Video - Connect your green/blue/red to the output on your cable box and then connect to the green/blue/red projector inputs. Next connect a red and white composite audio cable to the output of your cable box and then to the red/white composite audio inputs on the projector.

Laptop / PC Your VGA cable should first be connected to your PC or Laptop then to the projector. Please ensure the cable is screwed tightly in place on both ends. Then set your source button on the projector to “PC”. If you do not see your computer screen projecting you will need to consult your computer manual for the correct VGA setting. Usually the correct key combination to read the VGA signal is to hold down the “function” key and press ”f4”. The key combinations vary with the PC/laptop make and model.

Step 2 - Turning on Your Rio Place the projector in the proper viewing position and plug in the power cord. Once the status indicator light turns red press the power button on top of the projector or on the remote. To turn off the projector you will need to press the power button twice. The status indicator light should then turn to orange. The fans will continue to run for 7 minutes. The power supply should not be cut off when the fan is running. Cutting the power while the fan is running could cause damage to the lamp and the projector.

Step 3 - Focusing The zoom function can be used when the projector is on the s-video or aux setting. Otherwise the image size can only be adjusted by moving the projector. Once you have the correct image size you can focus the unit manually by turning the lens. If the image is distorted please use the keystone correction knob on the side. Please do not force the knob in either way.
