The	options	are: 	FRONT/BACK,	FRONT,	and	BACK. 	
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.
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,	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 -

5. Using On-Screen Menu
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	control.
	 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”	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.

[OPTIONS(1)]
Setting Auto Adjust [AUTO ADJUST]
This	feature	 sets	the	Auto	 Adjust	 mode	so	that	 the	computer	 signal	can	be	automatically	 or	manually	 adjusted	for	
noise	and	stability. 	You	can	automatically	make	adjustment	in	two	ways: 	[NORMAL]	and	[FINE].
OFF ������������������������The computer signal will not be automatically adjusted� You can manually optimize the computer signal�
NORMAL ����������������Default setting� The computer signal will be automatically adjusted� Normally select this option�
FINE  �����������������������Select this option if fine adjustment is needed� It takes more time to switch to the source than when [NOR-
MAL]is selected�
Selecting Fan Mode [FAN MODE]
Fan	Mode	is	used	to	set	the	speed	of	the	internal	cooling	fan.
MODE  ��������������������Select three modes for fan speed: AUTO, HIGH, and HIGH ALTITUDE�
AUTO: The built-in fans automatically run at a variable speed according \
to the internal temperature�
HIGH: The built-in fans run at high speed
HIGH ALTITUDE: The built-in fans run at a high speed� Select this option when using the projector at altitudes 
approximately 5500 feet/1600 meters or higher � 
SETTING ����������������Select one of the two options ([FLOOR] or [CEILING]) according to the installation orientation of the projec -
tor� See the drawing on your right�
When	you	wish	to	cool	down	the	temperature	inside	the	projector	quickly,	select	[HIGH].
NOTE: 
•	 When	[HIGH	ALTITUDE]	is	selected	for	[FAN	MODE],	a	symbol	icon	 will be displayed at the bottom of the menu.
•	 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	5500	feet/1600	meters	or	higher.
•	 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1600	 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	 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].
•		 Using	 the	projector	 at	altitudes	 approximately	 5500	feet/1600	 meters	or	higher	 can	shorten	 the	life	of	internal	 parts	such	as	the	
lamp.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.

Selecting the Signal Format [SIGNAL SELECT(COMP3)]
When	an	output	device	is	connected	to	the	COMPUTER	3	video	input	connectors,	this	sets	the	input	signal.
RGB/COMPONENT ��������RGB and component signals are identified automatically �
VIDEO ���������������������������This switches to the video signal�
NOTE:	 When	a	video	 cable	(commercially	 available)	is	connected	 to	the	 COMPUTER	 3	video	 input	connectors’	 G/Y	connector,	 video	
signals	can	be	projected.	In	this	case,	set	to	“VIDEO”.
[SEAMLESS SWITCHING] 
When	the	input	 connector	 is	switched,	 the	image	 displayed	 before	switching	 is	held	 to	switch	 to	the	 new	 image	 without	
a	break	due	to	absence	of	a	signal.
[COLOR SYSTEM]
This	feature	allows	you	to	select	the	 TV	video	signal,	which	differs	from	country	to	country	(NTSC,	PAL,	etc.).
This	is	set	to	[AUTO]	by	factory	default. 	Set	this	if	the	projector	cannot	identify	the	signal	automatically.

Selecting	Power-saving	in	[STANDBY	MODE]
The	projector	has	three	standby	modes:	[NORMAL],	[POWER-SAVING]	and	[NETWORK	STANDBY].
The	POWER-SAVING	 mode	is	the	 mode	 that	allows	 you	to	put	 the	projector	 in	the	 power-saving	 condition	which	
consumes	less	power	than	the	NORMAL	mode. 	The	projector	is	preset	for	NORMAL	mode	at	the	factory.
NORMAL �����������������������������Power indicator: Orange light/STATUS indicator: Green light
POWER-SAVING
  �����������������Power indicator: Red light/STATUS indicator: Off
The following connectors, buttons or functions will not work during this\
 mode�
- MONITOR OUT (COMP � 1) connector
- LAN and Mail Alert functions
- Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
- Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
- Virtual Remote Tool fucntion
- [AUTO POWER ON (COMP1/3)]
- PC control commands for other than power-on
NETWORK STANDBY
  ����������When in the standby mode, the POWER indicator will light orange and the STATUS indicator will 
not light� This shows that the projector’s power can be turned on by wired LAN�
When in the standby mode, the following connectors, buttons or functions\
 will not work:
- MONITOR OUT (COMP � 1) connector
- Wireless LAN Unit
- [AUTO POWER ON (COMP1/3)]
- Buttons other than POWER button on the cabinet
- Buttons other than POWER ON button on the remote control
- PC control commands for other than power-on
Important:
•	 When	 [CONTROL	 PANEL	LOCK]	or	[CONTROL	 ID]	is	turned	 on,	or	when	 [COMPUTER	 1]	or	[COMPUTER	 3]	is	selected	 for	[AUTO	
POWER	ON(COMP1/3)],	the	[STANDBY	MODE]	setting	becomes	invalid.
	 This	means	that	the	projector	is	in	the	same	condition	when	the	[NORMAL]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE].
NOTE: 
•	 Even	when	[POWER-SAVING]	is	selected	for	[STANDBY	MODE],	power	on	or	off	can	be	done	by	using	the	PC	CONTROL	port.
•	 The	power	consumption	in	the	standby	mode	will	not	be	included	in	calculating	CO2 emission reduction.
•	 Your	setting	will	not	be	affected	even	when	[RESET]	is	done	from	the	menu.
Enabling Direct Power On [DIRECT POWER ON]
Turns	 the	projector	 on	automatically	 when	the	power	 cord	is	inserted	 into	an	active	 power	 outlet.	This	 eliminates	 the	
need	to	always	use	the	POWER	button	on	the	remote	control	or	projector	cabinet.
