[GENERAL]
Correcting Keystone Distortion Manually [KEYSTONE]
You	can	correct	horizontal	or	ver tical	ke ystone	manually .	[HORIZONTAL]	and	[VERTICAL]	(simultaneously	adjustable)	
correction	can	be	selected.
NOTE:
•	 Some	items	are	not	available	when	one	item	is	activated.	Unavailable	items	are	shown	in	grey.
•	 To	change	from	one	item	to	another	item,	reset	the	first	item.
•	 Adjustment	values	will	be	overwritten.	They	will	not	be	deleted	even	when	the	projector	is	turned	off.
•	 Using	[KEYSTONE]	correction	can	cause	the	image	to	be	slightly	blurred	because	the	correction	is	made	electronically.
HORIZONTAL ���������Corrects horizontal keystone distortion� (→ page 21)
VERTICAL
 ��������������Corrects vertical keystone distortion� (→ page 21)
RESET
 ��������������������Returns all the above items to the factory preset values�
TIP:
•	 The	maximum	adjustment	range	with	[KEYSTONE]	correction	is	±25°	in	the	horizontal	direction,	±30°	in	the	vertical	direction.
-	 Depending	on	input	signal,	the	adjustable	range	may	be	narrower.

Setting various items related to lamp brightness [ECO SETTINGS]
This	option	allows	you	to	decrease	the	power	consumption	or	to	prolong	the	lamp	life	by	controlling	the	lamp	brightness .
ECO MODE
The	ECO	MODE	increases	lamp	life,	while	low ering	pow er	consumption	and	cutting	down	on	CO2	emissions.	Four	
brightness	modes	of	the	lamp	can	be	selected:	[OFF],	[AUTO	ECO],	[NORMAL]	and	[ECO]	modes .	(→	page	28)

port�
NOTE:	
•	 When	[HDBaseT]	is	set,	it	will	not	work	when	the	projector	is	in	the	standby	mode,	regardless	of	whether	[STANDBY	MODE]	(→	
page	61)	is	set	to	[NORMAL]	or	[NETWORK	STANDBY]	(the	power	cannot	be	turned	on).
	 The	methods	below	can	be	used	to	turn	on	the	projector’s	power	when	it	is	in	the	standby	mode.
•	 The	projector	can	be	operated	by	connecting	the	computer	and	projector	by	RS232C	serial	communications	(on	the	projector,	
using	the	PC	CONTROL	terminal	and	the	PC	Control	Utility	application,	with	[STANDBY	MODE]	set	to	[NETWORK	STANDBY]).
•	 The	projector	can	be	operated	by	connecting	the	computer	and	projector	over	the	network	(on	the	projector,	using	the	LAN	
port	and	PC	Control	Utility	application,	with	[STANDBY	MODE]	set	to	[NETWORK	STANDBY]).
TIP:
•	 When	controlling	the	projector	using	the	LAN	port,	this	works	with	either	setting.

page	61)	is	set	to	[NORMAL]	or	[NETWORK	STANDBY]	(the	power	cannot	be	turned	on).
TIP:
•	 If	the	remote	control	system	does	not	function	when	direct	sunlight	or	strong	illumination	strikes	the	remote	control	sensor	of	
the	projector,	change	another	option.
•	 Remote	control	by	infrared	rays	is	not	available	when	the	remote	control	cable	is	connected	to	the	REMOTE	termial.

Setting	ID	to	the	Projector	[CONTROL	ID]
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,	y ou	ha ve	to	assign	an	ID	n umber	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 setting�
NOTE:	
•	 When	[ON]	is	selected	for	[CONTROL	ID],	the	projector	cannot	be	operated	by	using	the	remote	control	that	does	not	support	
the	CONTROL	ID	function.	(In	this	case	the	buttons	on	the	projector	cabinet	can	be	used.)
•	 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.
Assigning or Changing the Control ID
1. Turn on the projector.
2. Press the ID SET button on the remote contr ol.
	 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.
 Example:
	 To	assign	“3”,	press	the	“3”	b utton	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	b utton.
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	down	or	removed.
•	 Accidentally	pressing	any	one	of	the	buttons	of	the	remote	control	will	clear	currently	specified	
ID	with	batteries	removed.

the	[TEST	PATTERN]	on	the	onscreen	menu	is	selected,	the	pattern	for	adjustment	will	be	display ed	on.	If	you	find	
distortion	on	the	pattern,	adjust	the	projector	installation	angle	or	correct	distortion	by	pressing	the	KEYSTONE	button	
on	the	remote.	If	the	focus	adjustment	is	required,	control	the	focus	lever.	Press	EXIT	button	to	close	the	test	pattern	
and	return	to	the	menu.

[OPTIONS(1)]
Selecting Fan Mode [FAN MODE]
Fan	Mode	is	used	to	set	the	speed	of	the	internal	cooling	fan.
AUTO ���������������������The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according to the\
 internal temperature�
HIGH ����������������������The built-in fans run at a high speed� 
HIGH ALTITUDE �����The built-in fans run at a high speed� Select this option when using the projector at altitudes approximately \
4000 feet/1200 meters or higher�
NOTE:	
•	 It	is	recommended	that	you	select	High	speed	mode	if	you	use	the	projector	non-stop	for	consecutive	days.
•		 Set	[FAN	MODE]	to	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	when	using	the	projector	at	altitudes	approximately	4000	feet/1200	meters	or	higher.
•	 Using	the	projector	at	altitudes	approximately	4000	feet/1200	meters	or	higher	without	setting	to	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	can	cause	
the	projector	to	overheat	and	the	protector	could	shut	down.	If	this	happens,	wait	a	couple	minutes	and	turn	on	the	projector.
•		 Using	the	projector	at	altitudes	approximately	4000	feet/1200	meters	or	higher	can	shorten	the	life	of	optical	components	such	
as	the	lamp.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
Enabling or Disabling WXGA Mode [WXGA MODE]
