•	 Wide	range	of	input/output	terminals	(HDMI,	DisplayPort,	BNC,	HDBaseT,	etc.)	and	built-in	monaural	speaker
	 The	projector	is	equipped	with	a	variety	of	input/output	terminals:	HDMI,	DisplayP ort,	BNC	(5-core),	computer	
(analog),	HDBaseT,	etc.
	 The	projector’s	HDMI	input/output	terminals	and	DisplayPort	input	terminal	support	HDCP.
	 HDBaseT,	promoted	and	advanced	by	the	HDBaseT	Alliance,	is	a	consumer	electronic	(CE)	and	commercial	con-
nectivity	technology.
•	 Slot	for	optional	board
	 This	projector	has	a	slot	for	optional	boards	(sold	separately).
•	 Simultaneous	display	of	2	images	(PIP/PICTURE	BY	PICTURE)
	 Two	images	can	be	projected	simultaneously	with	a	single	projector.
	 There	are	two	types	of	layouts	for	the	two	images:	“picture-in-picture”	(PIP)	in	which	a	sub-picture	is	display ed	
on	the	main	picture,	and	“picture-by-picture”	(PICTURE	BY	PICTURE)	in	which	the	main	and	sub	pictures	are	
displayed	next	to	each	other.
•	 Multi-screen	projection	using	multiple	projectors
	 This	projector	is	equipped	with	multiple	HDMI	input	&	output	terminals	that	can	connect	multiple	projectors	in	a	
daisy	chain.	By	dividing	and	projecting	high	resolution	image	on	each	projector,	high	quality	image	can	be	realized.
	 Furthermore,	the	boundaries	of	the	screens	are	smoothed	using	an	edge	blending	function.
•	 Supports	HDMI	3D	format
	 This	projector	can	be	used	to	watch	videos	in	3D	using	commercially-available	active	shutter-type	3D	ey ewear	
and	3D	emitters	that	support	Xpand	3D.
Network
•	 Convenient	utility	software	(User	Supportware)	provided	as	standard
	 The	three	utility	software	stored	in	the	enclosed	NEC	Projector	CD-ROM	(Virtual	Remote	Tool,	PC	Control	Utility	
Pro	4	(for	Windows	)	and	PC	Control	Utility	Pro	5	(for	Mac	OS	))	can	be	used.	
•	 CRESTRON	ROOMVIEW	compatible
	 This	projector	supports	CRESTRON	ROOMVIEW ,allowing	multiple	devices	connected	to	the	networ k	to	be	man-
aged	from	a	computer	or	controller.
Energy-saving
•	 Energy-saving	design	with	a	standby	power	consumption	of	0.27	watts	or	under
	 When	the	on-screen	menu’s	standby	mode	is	set	to	“NORMAL”,	the	pow er	consumption	in	the	standby	mode	is	
0.27	watts	or	under.
	 0.18	watts	with	power	voltage	AC100V-130V	and	0.27	watts	with	power	voltage	AC200V-240V.
•	 “LIGHT	MODE”	for	lo w	po wer	consumption	and	“Carbon	Meter”	displa y
	 The	projector	is	equipped	with	an	“LIGHT	MODE”	for	reducing	power	consumption	during	use.	Further more,	the	
power-saving	effect	when	the	LIGHT	MODE	is	set	is	converted	into	the	amount	of	reductions	of	CO2	emissions	
and	this	is	indicated	on	the	confirmation	message	displayed	when	the	pow er	is	turned	off	and	at	“Infor mation”	on	
the	on-screen	menu	(CARBON	METER).

terminal,	infrared	remote	control	operations	cannot	be	per-
formed.

remote	control.
•	 When	[HDBaseT]	is	selected	in	the	[REMOTE	SENSOR]	
and	the	projector	is	connected	to	a	commercially-available	
transmission	device	that	supports	HDBaseT,	remote	control	
operations	in	infra-red	cannot	be	carried	out	if	transmission	
of	remote	control	signals	has	been	set	up	in	the	transmission	
device.	However,	remote	control	using	infrared	rays	can	be	
carried	out	when	the	power	supply	of	the	transmission	device	
is switched off.

Battery Installation
1. Press the catch and remove 
the battery cover.
2. Install new ones (AA). En-
sure that you have the bat -
teries’ polarity (+/−) aligned 
correctly.3. Slip the cover back over the batteries until 
it snaps into place.
NOTE:	Do	not	mix	different	types	of	batteries	or	new	
and old batteries.

Remote Control Precautions
•	 Handle	the	remote	control	carefully.
•	 If	the	remote	control	gets	wet,	wipe	it	dry	immediately.
•	 Avoid	excessive	heat	and	humidity.
•	 Do	not	short,	heat,	or	take	apart	batteries.
•	 Do	not	throw	batteries	into	fire.
•	 If	you	will	not	be	using	the	remote	control	for	a	long	time,	remove	the	batteries.
•	 Ensure	that	you	have	the	batteries’	polar ity	(+/−)	aligned	correctly .
•	 Do	not	use	new	and	old	batteries	together,	or	use	different	types	of	batteries	together.
•	 Dispose	of	used	batteries	according	to	your	local	regulations.

•	 The	infrared	signal	operates	by	line-of-sight	up	to	a	distance	of	abov e	meters	and	within	a	60-degree	angle	of	the	
remote	sensor	on	the	projector	cabinet.
•	 The	projector	will	not	respond	if	there	are	objects	between	the	remote	control	and	the	sensor,	or	if	strong	light	falls	
on	the	sensor.	Weak	batteries	will	also	pre vent	the	remote	control	from	proper ly	oper ating	the	projector .
Using the Remote Control in Wired Operation
Connect	one	end	of	the	remote	cable	to	the	REMOTE	terminal	and	the	other	end	to	the	remote	jack	on	the	remote	
control.
