Settng ID to the Projector [CONTROL ID]
(Avalable only when the optonal remote control NP0RC s used)
You can operate multiple projectors separately and independently with the single remote control that has the CONTROL 
ID function. If you assign the same ID to all the projectors, you can conveniently operate all the projectors together 
using the single remote control. To do so, you have to assign an ID number to each projector.
CONTROL ID NUMBER .......Select a number from 1 to 254 you wish to assign to your projector.
CONTROL ID  .......................Select [OFF] to turn off the CONTROL ID setting and select [ON] to turn on the CONTROL ID set-
ting.
ID DISPLAY  ........................This option turns on or off the ID number which is displayed when the ID SET button on the remote 
control is pressed.
NOTE: 
•  Selecting [ON] for [CONTROL ID] will make the remote control supplied with the projector inoperable. The buttons on the projector 
cabinet can be used. Neither can you operate the projector by using the optional remote control NP01RC that does not has the 
CONTROL ID function.
•  Your setting will not be affected even when [RESET] is done from the menu\
.
•   Pressing and holding the ENTER button on the projector cabinet for 10 seconds will display the menu for canceling the Control 
ID.
Assgnng or Changng the Control ID
1.  Turn on the projector.
2.  Press the ID SET button on the remote control (NP02RC).
  The CONTROL ID screen will be displayed.
 If the projector can be operated with the current remote control ID, the [ACTIVE] will be displayed. If the projector 
cannot be operated with the current remote control ID, the [INACTIVE] will be displayed. To operate the inactive 
projector, assign the control ID used for the projector by using the following procedure (Step 3).
3.  Press one of numeric keypad buttons while pressing and holding the ID SET button on the remote control 
(NP02RC).
 Example:
  To assign “3”, press the “3” button on the remote control.
  No ID means that all the projectors can be operated together with a single remote 
control. To set “No ID”, enter “000” or press the CLEAR button.
TIP: The range of IDs is from 1 to 254.
4.  Release the ID SET button.
  The updated CONTROL ID screen will be displayed.
NOTE: The IDs can be cleared in a few days after the batteries are run d\
own or removed.

the projector to overheat and the protector could shut down. If this hap\
pens, wait a couple minutes and turn on the projector.
•   Using the projector at altitudes less than approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters and setting to [HIGH ALTITUDE] can cause the 
lamp to overcool, causing the image to flicker. Switch [FAN MODE] to [AUTO].
