Make your own Home Theater Projector

Projection TV Instructions

These plans are very simple! Results may vary by types of materials you use. Works on TVs or monitors.



Materials

These are the things you will need to make your 100" projection TV!

Magnifying glass- Please note if it has a bifocal lens it will not work!!

Sturdy cardboard (or fiberboard).

Duct tape

Black paint or paper

3 pencils

Small mirror (about 3"x3")(optional, you don't really need this).

Four small washers that fit snug around the pencils.



Step1> Measure your screen (vertical and horizontal).



Step2> Cut the side pieces (A and B) for your projector. (Using your measurements from step 1.) Again use 35" for length. This allows the room to adjust the focus. Be sure to cut as straight as possible!



Step 3> Cut the top and bottom pieces (C and D.) (Using your measurements from step 1). Again use 35" for length.



Step 4> Cut out your slider (E). This piece will be the one that slides in and out of your projector! This allows for the focussing. Use your screen measurement from step 2 & 3. Then, find the center, mark it with your pencil!



Step 5> Remove the glass lens form your magnifying glass. Set it exactly on the cent or your slider. Trace around it, and cut our the circle very carefully. Lens must fit snugly in the hole!



Step 6> Now you have all your pieces cut. Now you either paint all pieces black, or cover with black construction paper. If painting, use more than one coat!



Step 7> Now start to assemble your projector. Place pieces A,B,C, & D together and tape them together using your duct tape. Tape both sides so you don't get any light showing through.



Step 8> Now connect the two side together using duct tape. Do this carefully, and now you should have a rectangular box!



Step >9 Insert your glass lens into the hole you cut inb the slider. THIS MUST FIT TIGHTLY. It must be flush with slider. This is a little tricky, but is not impossible!



Step >10 Take to unsharpened pencils and poke them through your slider (E) about one inch from the sides, not the top and bottom. Then put a washer on each end if the pencils. Use some tape if necessary to ensure pencils do not slide in and out! Only push a LITTLE of the pencil through, just enough to secure them. The pencils allow you to push pull the slider in and out to adjust your focus. If pencils interfere with your picture, pull them out after you have focussed your projector and put tape over the holes!



Step 11> Place your slider about halfway in the box. Your slider must fit squarely inside the box!



Step 12> Turn your TV or monitor upside down and carefully attach your projector. Use tape or any other way you desire! Should fit tightly and no light should shine through the box.



Step 13> Turn your TV or monitor on and adjust your slider to focus your picture. This may take a while. The further away from the wall, the larger your picture will be! The darker the room, the clearer your picture will be.



Step 14> If your image is reversed, place a mirror at a 45 degree angle in front of the lens. You may have to turn the screen in its back. Same principle used in school overhead projectors.



Step 15> After the projector is setup and focussed, cut the remaining front pieces away. This allows for better viewing.

Mouse Wheel Tricks

If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel on it, you can do some cool tricks.......

1.Shift & Spin

Ever wonder what happens when you hold down the Shift key on a web page and spin the wheel on your wheel mouse? Explorer goes either back or forward, depending on which direction you spin.

Give it a try. Open up Internet Explorer(or any other browser) and follow a few links. Then, hold down your SHIFT key and spin that wheel.

2.CTRL & Spin

If you are in a web browser (Explorer or Netscape or Firefox) , hold down your Ctrl key and spin the wheel. It makes the text larger or smaller depending on which way you spin. For Opera users, it magnifies both the images and the text

Stop the system automatically rebooting after Windows Updates

Open your registry and find or create the key below.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers" and set it according to the value data below.

Exit your registry; you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

		(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
		NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers	REG_DWORD	0x00000001 (1)

	HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windo...

Registry Settings
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
Value Name: NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = no effect, 1 = do not automatically reboot)

Renew IP address

Often using a LAN inside a home, users will encounter one or more PC's that refust to renew the IP address and bring the network back to a fully usable state. However this took care of that problem for us I hope it will for other XP home and PRO users.

• Releasing and Renewing an IP address on Windows NT/2000/XP

1. Click the Start menu in the lower left hand part of the screen.
2. Click Run.
3. In the space provided type "ipconfig /release" and click OK. Note that there is a space between ipconfig and the /release.
4. To renew the IP address from the DOS prompt, type "ipconfig /renew". Note that there is a space between ipconfig and the /renew.

• Releasing and Renewing an IP address on Windows XP

1. Click the Start menu in the lower left hand part of the screen.
2. Click Run.
3. In the space provided type "ipconfig /release" and click OK. Note that there is a space between ipconfig and the /release.
4. Type "ipconfig /renew". Note that there is a space between ipconfig and the /renew.

Speed up your web browsing

Iv'e personally found a dramatic increase in web browsing after clearing the Windows XP DNS cache.

To clear it type the following in a command prompt: ipconfig /flushdns
