• If the picture size is compressed or
enlarged by using the 16:9 aspect ratio
when the projector is used for
profitable purpose or in the presence
of an audience (for example, in a
coffee shop or at a hotel etc.), it may
infringe the rights of the copyright
owner of the original picture.
• If a picture with the standard (4:3)
aspect ratio is projected at a wide
aspect ratio, parts of the picture may
run over the screen bounds or the
overall picture may be distorted. To
view the picture at its original aspect
ratio, choose the standard 4:3 aspect
ratio.Note• If you choose an aspect ratio that does
not match the source video’s aspect
ratio, you will see a picture with an
aspect ratio not the same as that of
the original picture. Choose the
appropriate aspect ratio carefully to
match that of the original picture.
Attention
KEYSTONE
KEYSTONE : Keystone distortion can be corrected
only along either horizontal bound of
the picture.
ZOOM
This enables the enlargement ratio to be changed
and the resulting enlarged image displayed.
: The enlargement ratio in the horizontal
direction is changed.
: The enlargement ratio in the vertical
direction is changed.
CLOCK PHASE
(For RGB/YPBPRsignals only)
Clock phase adjustment allows the user to minimize
visible noise with the or  button.
• Keystone distortion can be corrected to
±30 °of the angle of tilt for the projector.
However, the greater the correction
amount, the more the picture quality will
deteriorate, and the harder it will become
to achieve a good level of focus. To
obtain the best picture quality, set up the
projector and screen in such a way that
the amount of keystone correction
required is as minimal as possible.
• The picture size will also change when
correction of keystone distortion is
carried out.
Note• When projecting signals whose dot
clock frequency is 108 MHz or higher,
the noise may not be disappear even
when the clock phase is adjusted.
• Clock phase adjustment is not
available for digital RGB signals.
Note
button:button:
LINEARITY : After you are finished with keystone
adjustment, adjust vertical linearity
with the or button.
Linearity is not adjustable if no
correction was made to keystone
distortion.

around the contour.
: These select the items listed below.
: These select the value.
“TOTAL DOTS”, “DISPLAY DOTS”, “TOTAL
LINES” and “DISPLAY LINES”
Each item automatically displays a value in
response to the type of the input signal. If vertical
stripes appear on the screen or the image is partly
missing, increase or decrease the displayed value
while observing the screen to achieve the optimal
value.
CLAMP POS.
(For RGB/ YPBPRsignals only)
Use the clamp position adjustment to achieve the
optimal value when dark areas of the image are
crushed or displayed in green.
Adjust with the  buttons.
The value changes from 0 to 255.
The optimal value for the clamp position adjustment
• If dark areas are crushed:
The optimal value is the point where the dark
area is best improved.
• If the dark areas are displayed in green:
The optimal value is the point where the
green area becomes dark and clear.
DIGITAL CINEMA REALITY
(Only for input of S-Video/ Video/ YPBPR[480i,

noise appears at the ends of the screen or the
image protrudes out of the screen during image
projection using a video deck and so on.
: Select the UPPER, LOWER, LEFT or
RIGHT adjustment.
: Adjust the blanking width.
• The abovementioned vertical stripes
will not appear on the screen when all
white signals are input.

The picture may be distorted during the
adjusting operation, but this is not a fault.
• The input resolution can be adjusted
only when RGB signal input is applied
with RGB1 and RGB2 IN.
• Automatic adjustment is not available

of more than 108 MHz are supplied.
Note
• The clamp position can be adjusted
only when the RGB signal input is
applied with RGB1 and RGB2 IN.Note

ID
The projector has an ID number setting function
that helps the user to control two or more projectors
either simultaneously or separately with a single
remote control. The ID number is set to “ALL” by
default. Hence the ID number need not be set
when only one projector is used.
1–64 : The ID number is set in this range.
• The ID number can be set to “ALL”, or
selected from “1” to “64”.
• If the projectors are given ID numbers,
their remote controls must be assigned
the same ID numbers, respectively.
• If the ID number of a projector is set to
“ALL”, it can be controlled by the
remote control or the PC with any ID
number. 
If multiple projectors are used and
some of them have their IDs set to
“ALL”, they cannot be controlled
separately from the projectors with
other ID numbers.
For details on remote control ID
setting, see page 15.Note
FRONT/REAR
“FRONT/REAR” is used to choose the appropriate
projection scheme from Front and Rear:
FRONT : Choose this option if pictures are
projected from the front of a reflective
screen.
REAR : Choose this if pictures are projected
from the back of a translucent screen.
DESK/CEILING
“DESK/CEILING” is used to choose the appropriate
projection scheme from Desk and Ceiling:
DESK : Choose this option if the projector is
installed on a floor-standing base.
CEILING : Choose if the projector is installed on
the ceiling using the optional ceiling
mount bracket.
LAMP SELECT
“LAMP SELECT” is used to choose from Single Lamp
and Dual Lamp modes depending on user’s needs or
viewing conditions. In Single Lamp mode, the
projector may automatically select either lamp from
the 2 lamps, or the particular lamp can be specified.
DUAL : Two lamps are used simultaneously.
SINGLE : One of either lamps is used (lamp with
shorter operating hours is
automatically selected).
LAMP1 : Lamp Unit 1 is always used.
LAMP2 : Lamp Unit 2 is always used.
When one of the above settings is selected, it will
take effect after ENTER is pressed.
LAMP POWER
The luminance of the projection lamp can be
changed depending on user’s needs or the viewing
conditions.
HIGH : Set when high brightness is necessary.
LOW : Set when high brightness is not
necessary.
• When set to “LOW”, it is possible to
reduce power consumption, reduce
operating noise and extend lamp
service life.
• “LOW” is set automatically when long
life lamp units are used.Note• If, in the “SINGLE”, “LAMP1” or
“LAMP2” mode, one lamp remains off
or the currently active lamp exceeds 
1 500 hours of cumulative operating
time (when “HIGH” is selected as the
lamp power setting), the other lamp
will light. If, in the “DUAL” mode, one
lamp remains off or the currently active
lamp exceeds 1 500 hours of
cumulative operating time (when
“HIGH” is selected as the lamp power
setting), the other lamp alone will light.
However, if both lamps remain off or
the 1 500 hours of cumulative
operating time are exceeded, the
projector will enter the standby mode.
• If only one lamp is installed in the
projector, set lamp mode to either
“LAMP1” or “LAMP2”. “LAMP1” or
“LAMP2” is selected. If the
corresponding lamp is not installed,
the other lamp will turn on.
• The colors of the items indicate the
status.
Green Current setting
Cyan Now changing from one
status to another
Red Lamp that has failed to light
White Any other status
• If the projector is repeatedly used for
short periods of time, the lamps will
need to be replaced more frequently.
This time period is 4 000 hours when
long life lamp units (page 43) are used.

• No command can be sent or received for 10 to 60 seconds after the lamp starts lighting. Try sending
any command after that period has elapsed.
• When sending several commands, be sure to wait for more than 0.5 seconds after receiving a
response from the projector, and then send the next command. When sending commands without
parameters, a colon (:) is not necessary.Attention
• If an unworkable command is received, the projector will send an “ER401” response to the computer.
• If an invalid command is received, the projector will send an “ER402” response to the computer.
• Projector ID supported on the RS232C interface is ZZ (ALL) and a group of 1 to 64 and 0A to 0Z.
• 
If a command is sent with a projector ID specified, the projector will return answer back only in the following cases:
If it coincides with the projector ID,
ID specification is ALL and VPS-SYSTEM is the master, or
ID specification is group and Group is the master.
