correcting the screen brightness according to the 
change in lamp power.
With this function, you can reduce changes in 
brightness caused by aging of the lamps when 
multiple screens are projected using multiple 
projectors, or minimize any fluctuations in brightness.

If the shutter is closed within about 10 minutes after

the lamp is turned on while the brightness control is set

measured. In this case, the brightness may be corrected 
about 2 minutes after the shutter is opened.

about 8 minutes after the lamp is turned on and then 
corrected so that the screen brightness will be the same 
as the reference brightness when the brightness control 
is executed. The lamp power is not measured for about 
8 minutes after the lamp is turned on as it does not 
stabilize within this period.
While [MODE] of the brightness control is set to [AUTO],

if the lamp is kept on for more than 25 hours, the 
brightness is corrected automatically every 25 hours.
While [LAMP SELECT] is set to [DUAL] and [MODE]

corrected as much as possible about 1 minute after.
While [MODE] of the brightness control is set to [AUTO]

The brightness may be dispersed largely because of dust
