Chapter 1 Preparation — Using the remote control
Using the remote control
Inserting and removing the batteries
1) Open the cover.
(ii)(i)
2) Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert 
the m side first).
r
f When removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse 
order.
Setting Remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all th\
e projectors simultaneously or each projector individually using single \
remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector
.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set the same ID number on the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When usi\
ng a single projector, keep pressing the  button on 
the remote control for at least three seconds to set the ID number of th\
e remote control to [ALL]. In addition, when the ID number of 
the projector is unknown, setting the ID number to [ALL] enables the rem\
ote control.
How to set
1) Press the  button on the remote 
control.2) Within five seconds, press the two-digit ID 
number set on the projector using the number 
( - ) buttons.
r
f When the ID number is set to [ALL], you can control the 
projector regardless of the ID number setting of the projector.
Attention
r
f Since the ID number of the remote control can be set without the projector
, do not press the  button carelessly. If the  
button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within the next five seconds, the ID number returns to its original value 
before the  button was pressed.
r
f The ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set again. However
, it will be erased if the remote control is left with dead 
batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.
Note
r
f Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu 
→ [PROJECTOR ID] (
x page 75).

Chapter 1 Preparation — Using the remote control
Connecting to the projector with a cable
When you use the system with multiple projectors, configure the units as in the following figure. Use a commercial M3 stereo mini jack cable 
and connect the other devices to the / terminals of the projector .
The remote control is effective even in places where an obstacle stands in the light path or whe\
re devices are susceptible to outside light.
Connecting terminals
Connect to the second 
projector
M3 stereo mini jack cable 
(commercially available)
Connect to remote 
control wired terminal Remote control
Attention
r
f Use a cable that is 15 m (49'2") or shorter, with 2 core shield. The remote control may not operate when the length of the cable exceeds 15 
m (49'2") or when the shielding of the cable is inadequate.

*1 The throw ratio is based on the value during projection onto a 2.03-m (80") screen size.
*2  The height position (H) is SH/2 because lens shift cannot be used when a fixed-focus lens (Model No.:ET -DLE055) is attached.
