Preparation
Setting projector ID number 
to remote control
Each projector can be assigned a unique ID number, 
and the handheld remote’ s number must be set to 
match the intended projector.
The ID number of the projector is set to “ALL” on 
shipping, and use the ID ALL button of the remote 
control when using only a single projector.
Press  button, and the 
1  ) 
projector (s) will display it’s current ID 
number onscreen. Within 5 seconds, 
use the numeric keys (1-6) to match 
the Remote’s ID number with that of 
the desired projector.
Attention
Do not press  button accidentally or carelessly 
 
z
because the ID number on the remote control can be set 
even when no projector is around.
If you do not enter the 1 digit ID number within 5 seconds 
 
z
after  button has been pressed, the ID will 
remain at the number that was set before  
button was pressed.
Your specified ID number is stored in the remote control 
 
z
unit unless another one is specified later. However, the 
stored ID will be erased if the batteries of the remote 
control are left exhausted. When the batteries are 
replaced, set the same ID number again.
Note
Refer to 
 
z “PROJECTOR ID” of “PROJECTOR SETUP 
menu” (
Æpage 62).

Screen size and throw distance
When planning the projector and screen geometry, refer to the figures below and the information on the following 
pages for reference. After the projector is roughly positioned, picture size and vertical pic\
ture positioning can be 
finely adjusted with the powered zoom lens and lens shifting mechanism.

Attention
Before installing, please read

” (Æ pages 8 to 16)
Special care should be used when DLP projectors are used in the same room as high power laser equipment.

Connections
Before connection to the projector
Read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. 
z
Turning off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables. 
z
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
al cable is available for connection of the  
z
device, prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the scre\
en to randomly wobble or wafture.   
 
z
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
The projector accepts the following signals: VIDEO, S-VIDEO, analogue-RG\
B (with TTL sync. Level) and 
 
z
digital signal.
Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
 
z
When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projecto\
r, there is a possibility that the image  
z
will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.

Attention
When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-i\

If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. \
If this is the case, connect a TBC between the

Note
When using an HDMI cable, check that it is compliant with the HDMI stand\
