3.3 Ukuxhumanisa Imithombo Yokokufaka
The BenQ MX520 supports various input sources. Connect your device (e.g., computer, Blu-ray player) to the projector using the appropriate cable.
- I-HDMI: Ngevidiyo yedijithali enencazelo ephezulu nomsindo.
- I-VGA (D-Sub): Ngezimpawu zekhompyutha ze-analog.
- I-S-Video: Ngevidiyo enencazelo ejwayelekile.
- Ividiyo Ehlanganisiwe (RCA): Ngevidiyo enencazelo ejwayelekile.
- Umsindo Phakathi/Uphuma: Okokuxhuma amadivaysi omsindo angaphandle.
- I-Mini-USB: For service or control purposes.
Qaphela: For optimal picture quality with HDMI, use a High-Speed HDMI cable.
3.4 Ukulungiswa Kwesithombe
- Sondeza: Adjust the zoom ring on the lens to achieve the desired image size on your screen.
- Gxila: After adjusting the zoom, rotate the focus ring on the lens until the image appears sharp and clear.
- Ukulungiswa kwetshe elingukhiye: Use the projector's menu or dedicated buttons to correct any trapezoidal distortion if the projector is not perfectly perpendicular to the screen.
4. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza
4.1 Ukuvula / Ukuvula
- Vula: Press the power button on the projector or remote control. The lamp will take a moment to warm up before the image appears.
- Cisha ugesi: Press the power button again. The projector will enter a cooling cycle. Do not unplug the projector during this cycle. Wait for the cooling fan to stop before disconnecting power.
4.2 Ukukhetha Umthombo Wokufaka
Use the "Source" button on the projector or remote control to cycle through available input sources (HDMI, VGA, S-Video, etc.) until your desired source is displayed.
4.3 SmartEco Modes
The BenQ MX520 features SmartEco Technology to optimize power consumption and extend lamp impilo:
- SmartEco Mode: Automatically adjusts lamp power based on content to deliver optimal brightness and contrast while maximizing energy savings.
- Imodi ye-Eco Blank: Activates a blank screen, reducing lamp power to 30% when the projector is not actively displaying content. This can be manually activated or automatically engaged if no source is detected.
- No Source Detected Mode: If the projector remains on for over three minutes without an active input signal, it will automatically switch to Eco Blank Mode to conserve energy.
4.4 3D Projection
To enjoy 3D content, ensure your source device is outputting a compatible 3D signal and you are using DLP Link compatible 3D glasses. Refer to your 3D source device's manual for specific setup instructions.
5. Isondlo
5.1 Lamp Impilo
Iphrojektha lamp has an estimated life of up to 6500 hours, depending on usage mode. When the lamp reaches the end of its life, a warning message will appear, and the lamp indicator will illuminate. Refer to the service section for lamp replacement instructions (if applicable, or contact support).
5.2 Ukugcinwa Kwesihlungi
The BenQ MX520 features a filter-free design, eliminating the need for regular filter cleaning or replacement. This reduces ongoing maintenance costs and effort.
5.3 Ukuhlanzwa Kwelensi
To clean the projector lens:
- Ensure the projector is turned off and cooled down.
- Use a soft, lint-free lens cloth. Gently wipe the lens surface.

- Isithombe Esifiphele:
- Lungisa indandatho yokugxila kulensi yeprojektha.
- Ensure the projection surface is flat and the projector is at an appropriate distance.
- Projector Shuts Down Unexpectedly:
- Check for proper ventilation; ensure vents are not blocked.
- If the projector enters "No Source Detected Mode," it will go into Eco Blank mode. If no signal is detected for a longer period, it may auto power off.
- Allow sufficient cooling time after shutdown before restarting.
- Isilawuli kude asisebenzi:
- Qinisekisa ukuthi azikho izithiyo phakathi kwesilawuli kude kanye nesamukeli se-IR sephrojektha.
- Shintsha amabhethri kusilawuli kude.
