Using the remote control
Inserting and Removing batteries
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2)  Insert batteries and close the cover (Insert the "m" side first.).  (Fig. 2)
 
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 the projectors simultaneously or each projector 
individually using single remote control, if unique ID number is assigne\
d to each projector.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set the same ID number to the remote control.
There are 7 different ID codes (All, Code 1~Code 6), the initial ID number is [All].
How to set
1)  The ID numbers of the projector are set by pressing the  button o\
ne time to six times 
while holding down the  button. 
 
f The number of times you press the  button corresponds to the desi\
red ID code number. The number of times 
to press the  button is as follows: 
Code 1= Once, Code 2= Twice, Code 3= 3 times, Code 4= 4 times, Code 5= 5 times, Code 6= 6 times.
 
f The ID code is changed when the  button is released.
Attention
 
f The ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set again. However , it will be returned to [All] if the 
batteries are run down or removed for a certain period of time.
Note
 
f Set the ID number of the projector from the [Expand] menu → [Remote control]. (x page 70)
 
f The ID code is reset to [All] (default) by pressing the  button and  button at the same time for 5 seconds 
or more.
 
f If the  button is pressed 7 times or more, the operation is inval\
id, the ID code cannot be changed. Fig. 1

Parts for ceiling mount (Optional)
This requires an optional ceiling mount bracket. Be sure to use the Proj\
ector Mount Bracket together with the ceiling mount 
bracket for high ceilings or low ceilings.  
Model No.: 
ET-PKL100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKL100S (for low ceilings), ET-PKL420B (Projector Mount Bracket)
 
f Use only the ceiling mount brackets specified for this projector.
 
f Refer to the Installation Instructions for the ceiling mount bracket whe\
n you install the bracket and the projector.
Attention
 
f To ensure projector performance and security, installation of the ceiling mount bracket must be carried out by your \
dealer or 
a qualified technician.

Projection distance formulas 
To use a screen size not listed in this manual, check the screen size SD (m) and use the respective formula to calculate 
projection distance.
The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)
If you want to calculate the projection distance with projected image size SD (unit: inch) by substituting, please assign 0.0254 
times to the SD value.
For PT-LW330

Adjusting adjustable foot
Lift the front of the projector and press the foot lock latch with your finger to adjust the projection angle up and 
down. Release your finger to lock the adjustable foot.
For slight adjustment, rotate the adjustable foot. 
Rotate the adjustable foot to extend it as shown in the figure, and rotate it in the opposite direction to contract it.
Attention
 
f Heated air comes out of the air exhaust port while the lamp is lit. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when you adjust 
the adjustable foot.
 
f If keystone distortion occurs on the projected image, perform [Keystone] from the [Expand] menu. ( x page 61)

Connecting
Before connecting
 
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
 
f Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
 
f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
-  When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to 
eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
-   Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to\
 the projector or to the projector body. The longer 
the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable whil\
e it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more 
susceptible to noise.
-   When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight 
manner.
 
f If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
al cable is available for connection of the device, 
prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
 
f Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the scre\
en to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a 
time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
 
f The projector accepts Video signals, S-video signals and YC
BCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous 
signals are TTL level), and digital signal.
 
f Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
 
f When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector , there is a possibility that the image will not be 
output correctly unless a compensator is used.
 
f For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (
