These modifications are only required in very rare circumstances. Composite Sync and Sync-on-
Green are only required in RGB mode (never Component video/Y-Pr-Pb mode) and typically 
only with older, large front projectors. The rule of thumb is, if you are seeing a picture on your 
display, then you have the sync settings correct. VCR mode is only needed for the few displays 
that are unable to handle the erratic timing of a VCR. 
 
To modify these internal settings, you will need to change a jumper that is only available after 
opening up your iScan Plus v2 unit. Read through these instructions first and if you feel that you 
are not comfortable with performing this type of operation, please ask your dealer to make the 
modification for you. They are generally happy to do so. 

Removing the iScan Plus v2 motherboard 

13)  Find an electrostatic-free environment to work at. Having no carpeting or static-free 

carpeting is strongly recommended. If you can find an area with some heavy metal parts 
within easy reaching distance, touching these will allow you to discharge yourself before 
beginning work.  

14)  Turn the iScan Plus v2 unit so that the 

back of the unit is facing you. 
Remove the two screws on the back 
of the unit and set aside in a safe 
place – you will definitely need these 
screws later! 

15)  Discharge yourself by touching some 

grounded, heavy metal object nearby.   

16)  Pull the back panel and EMI gasket 

off of the unit.  The iScan Plus v2 
printed circuit board is seated in the 
bottom slot in the chassis housing.   

17)  Notice the small metal clip straddling the board below the power input connector. You will 

need to remove this clip and put it aside 
for replacement later so pay careful 
attention to how it is mounted on the 
board. (See picture on next page). 

18)  Pull the board all of the way out of the 

housing.  

19)  There are three sets of jumpers on the 

board shown on the figure at right. Each 
of these locations should have three pins 
sticking straight up out of the board with 
a little plastic jumper straddling two of 
these pins.   

Modifying Composite Sync 
Jumper Setting 

20)  To configure the unit to output 

Composite Sync, you should work with 
the jumper labeled “C-SYNC”. A little 
plastic jumper should already be
