is noticeable, and then use the following edge-blending settings to adjust 
the black level of area B.
Adjust the black level of area B the same way as you adjusted it for area D.
For adjustment instructions, see “A dvanced Instructions: Black Level 
Adjustment,” step 3.

B-area blue Adjust the blue component of the area B black level.
Results of adjusting the black level of area B are applied to all sides.
However, adjusting [Contrast], [Screen color], or other settings may not eliminate 
distractions in image boundaries.
• To simplify adjustment, use the same lens shift position and image mode (ideally, [sRGB]) on each projector.
• For best edge-blending results, perform the following adjustments. (1) Black and white adjustment by adjusting R/G/B gain and offset ( P99)
(2) Gamma adjustment by fine-tuning gamma ( P103)
(3) Color adjustment by using 6-axis color adjustment ( P102)
• To reduce distracting colors or differenc es in brightness where images overlap, try 
darkening images by adjusting [Contrast] (or other [Image adjustment] menu settings) 
or [Screen color].

Network Connection Overview
Connecting the projector to a network enables you to control the projector from a 
computer and receive notification of projector errors via email. Settings related to 
the network connection can be made from either the projector side ( P165) or 
computer side ( P174).
Depending on the method of network connection, preparation on the computer side 
may be necessary. The following is an explanation of preparation on the computer 
side.
Connection Methods
Connect the projector to the computer via LAN.
• When the [Network function] setting of t he projector is set to [Off] (Network 
Connections is disabled), switch it to [On] to enable it ( P167).
• Referring to “Checking Projector Information” ( P120), check that the projector IP 
address does not overlap with other computers that are on the same LAN. To set 
a projector IP address, follow the instruct ions in “Completing Computer Settings” 
( P174 ) and use the web screen, or use projector TCP/IP settings ( P170).
• When you connect the computer to the network for the first time, it is also 
necessary to perform settings on the computer. In this case, consult the network 
administrator regarding the necessary settings.
For details on networked multi-projection – projecting images from computers through 
one or more projectors over a network – see “Networked Multi-Proje\
ction.”
In a network environment where a DHCP server is operating, choose [On] on the 
projector [DHCP] screen to enable the DHCP function and connect it ( P170).
