Selecting an Image for Projection
This section describes the steps for selecting an image in the USB file browser and 
projecting on the screen.
■Selecting a Drive
This step may not be necessary when a USB flash drive is connected directly to the 
projector’s USB port.
If a USB memory card reader having multiple memory slots is connected, the drive 
(memory slot) list is displayed in the file list.
Select the drive in which the memory card is inserted with [ ] / [ ], and press the 
OK button.
•Active drives are displayed in white text, while inactive drives are grayed out.
■Selecting a Folder
In list view, folders that contain images can be selected.
•To return to the higher level, select [ ].
■Selecting an Image File for Projection
When you select an image file, a small preview of the image is shown in the 
preview area.
For full-screen projection of the image, press the OK button.
To return to the higher level, select [ ].
■Changing the View
To switch the view, select [Thumbnail view] or [List view] in the drive or file list and 
press the OK button.
Operating the Projected Image
When images are projected, you can perform the following operations.
Project the previous or next image by pressing the [ ] / [ ] buttons.
Rotate images left or right 90° by pressing the [ ] / [ ] buttons.
Return to the USB file browser by pressing the OK button.

Running a Slideshow of Data Saved in a USB 
Flash Memory
Multiple images on a USB flash drive can be projected consecutively, with each 
shown for a specific interval.
■Creating an Image File Folder
During slideshows, files in a folder are projected in alphabetical order by file name. 
Keep this in mind when preparing the files in a folder on the USB flash drive.
■Setting a Slideshow Interval
Set the projection interval in [Slideshow interval] (P86) in the menu.
Split-Screen Display
Two input images can be projected side by side. This is split-screen display. When 
you activate split-screen display, the current image is shown on the left side, and 
the new image is shown at right. You can change the source of images shown on 
each side by pressing the INPUT button. However, you cannot specify the same 
input signal (terminal) as the source for both sides.
1Supply two signals to the projector.
2Press the MENU button on the remote control to select the [Input 
settings] tab.
3Select [Split screen] and set it to [On].
4If   or   is displayed in the center of the image area, you can switch 
control to the other side.
Network and USB input cannot be combined for split-screen display. Similarly, HDBaseT 
and HDMI input cannot be combined.
• A number is displayed in the center of the screen. The screen at left is labeled “1,” and 
the screen at right, “2.” The image labeled with a number has “control rights,” and the 
sound for that image will be played. 
• For split-screen image adjustment, use the [Image priority] setting (P94).
• Some functions are not available, such as [Image flip H/V] (P96), [Screen aspect] 
(P96), [Keystone] (P97), [Digital image shift] (P98), [Professional settings] (P98) and 
[Logo capture] (P108).
• Image mode colors differ somewhat from those in single-image mode.

5Press the INPUT button, and then select the input signal for the side with 
control rights.
Projecting from Multiple Projectors at Once 
(Edge Blending)
Overlapping edges of images from multiple projectors used together can be 
blended to make the overall image more seamless.
■Basic Instructions
Follow these steps when using two projectors side by side.
1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending] > [Adjust].
• If you specify [LAN] or [USB] as an input signal, the screen width is evenly divided 
between the left and right areas. (P84)
• When projection resumes from standby or after the lamp is momentarily turned off in 
split-screen mode, display reverts to single-image mode, showing the input signal with 
display rights.
• If you have already completed edge blending settings, selecting [Adjust] will apply 
them.
• To restore the default settings before adjustment, select [Reset].

2Set [Marker] to [On].
Marker lines are projected on the images. The red marker indicates the start 
position for adjustment, and the green marker, the end position.
3Adjust [Start position] for the side where images overlap. Move the start 
marker to the outer edge of the overlapping area.
4Adjust [Width]. Move the end marker to the inner edge of the overlapping 
area.
The area between the starting and ending markers is called the blending area. 
Shading is applied to this area, and the brightness is adjusted to match 
portions that overlap with other areas. After you complete settings for one 
image, do the same thing for the other one to specify the blending area. Adjust 
the settings to make the blending area for each image the same.
5Set [Marker] to [Off].
■Color Adjustment
In overlapping projection, portions of images in the overlapping area that pick up 
other colors or are miscolored may be more noticeable. You can make this 
overlapping area appear less distracting by performing Color blending adjustment.
1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending] > [Adjust] > [Color blending adjustment] > [Adjust].
2As you watch the image, adjust the value to eliminate unwanted colors in 
the overlapping area.
First adjust red, green, and blue together by changing the [White] value, and 
then adjust [Red], [Green], and [Blue] values individually.
3Repeat this adjustment on all projectors.
By default, the green and red markers are displayed in the same position, so only the red 
marker is visible.

■Black Level Adjustment
In overlapping projection, dark colors are projected with less intensity than other 
colors in the overlapping area. You can make this overlapping area less distracting 
by adjusting the black level of non-overlapping image areas.
Here, the non-overlapping image area (from the end marker toward the center of 
the image) is called area “D.”
Normally, three areas are identified in the context of end markers: A, B, and C.
In the following instructions, only area D is adjusted, and the widths of A, B, and C 
are left at the default value of 0.
1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending] > [Adjust] > [Black level adjustment] > [Adjust].
2Select [Adjustment type] > [Black level].
3After selecting [D-area base], as you watch the image, adjust the values 
so that the brightness and colors of the blending area and area D match.
Adjust [D-area base] to lighten the black level, and adjust [Red], [Green], and 
[Blue] to obtain an optimal black level color tone, as needed.
4Repeat this adjustment on all projectors.
To prepare for adjustment, set [No signal screen] to [Black], start projection with no input 
signal, and turn off the room lights, so that you can check dark image areas. (P108)

■Smoother Overlapping Areas
The black level along the right edge of area D (along the blending area) may be 
more noticeable than that of surrounding areas. 
By adjusting the black level of area B, you can make the transition smoother.
To compensate, adjust each area as follows.
When the projected image has multiple blending areas (on the top, bottom, and 
each side), the width of areas A, B, and C must be adjusted to suit these blending 
areas.
In this example, instructions are given for adjusting area B.
1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending] > [Adjust] > [Black level adjustment] > [Adjust].
2Select [Adjustment type] > [Area] > [Side] > [Right].
3Select [B-width], and then specify the width of area B.
Adjust the width of area B to roughly match the area where the black level is 
noticeable.
This will make the width of area D narrower.
4Shading is applied to this area, and the brightness is adjusted to match 
portions that overlap with other areas.
5As you watch the image, adjust the width of areas A, B, and C.
Results of adjusting the black level of area B are applied to all sides.
$#
Area A:  Black level cannot be adjusted.
Area B:  Adjust to a black level different from that of area 
D.
Area C:  Adjust to provide a smooth transition relative to 
the black levels of areas B and D. Left imagePosition of end marker (hidden)

6Readjust the black level of area B, as needed.
• To reduce distracting colors and colors that are out of alignment in areas where the images 
overlap, perform [Color blending adjustment] targeting the main tone in the envisaged 
projected image.
■Corner Adjustment
Projected images from multiple projectors used in overlapping projection must be 
precisely repositioned. Positions of each corner in the blending area can be aligned 
with the blending area of the reference projector.
1On the reference projector, configure keystone (P97) and edge-blending 
(P100) settings, and then set the edge-blending markers to [On] (P155).
2In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge 
blending] > [Adjust] > [Corner adjustment].
3Select a point to adjust, and move it so that the image as a whole looks 
symmetrical.
If you perform adjustments using [Color blending adjustment] or other menus, that may 
not eliminate the distracting colors and differences in brightness in areas where the 
images overlap.
Blending can be fine-tuned by adjusting [Adjustment type] > [Black level] > [Red], 
[Green], and [Blue].
• First, complete [Side] adjustment as described in “Basic Instructions” (P154).
• Sides set to an edge-blending width of 12 or more can be adjusted when [Keystone] is 
set to [Corner adjustment] and the aspect ratio is [16:10].
• To reset adjustment, use [Keystone] (P97).
• A small edge-blending width may limit the amount of adjustment available.

4As you watch the projected images, fine-tune markers of the projector 
you are adjusting so that they overlap the reference projector markers as 
much as possible.
5Set the reference projector’s edge-blending markers to [Off] (P155).
Adjust positions of each of the four corners in 
the overlapping area. Correcting the position of 
one point will also move the point on the 
opposite side of the overlapping area, so that 
the screen as a whole is corrected.
