Note
The remote control can be used within a distance of about 7 m (22.97') if pointed directly at the remote control signal  f
receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ± 30 ° vertically and ± 30 ° horizontally, but the effective control 
range may be reduced.
If there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote con\
trol signal receiver, the remote control may not  f
operate correctly.
You can operate the projector by reflecting the remote control signal on the screen. The operating range may differ due to  f
the loss of light caused by the properties of the screen.
When the remote control signal receiver is lit with a fluorescent light or other strong light source, the projector may become  f
inoperative. Set the projector as far from the luminous source as possib\
le.

							Using the remote control
Inserting and Removing batteries
                       
Open the cover. (Fig. 1)1) 
Insert batteries and close the cover (Insert the 2) m side first.) (Fig. 2)
When removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order. f
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 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.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When usi\
ng a single projector, press the  
button on the remote control. Also, you can control a projector by pressing the  button on the remote control 
even if you do not know the projector ID.
How to set
Press the  button on the remote control.1) 
Within five seconds, press the one digit ID number set on the projector u\
sing the number ( - )2) 
buttons.
If you press the  button, you can control the projectors regardless of the ID number setting of the projector. f
Attention
Since the ID number of the remote control can be set without the projector, do not press the  button on the remote  f
control carelessly. If the  button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within five seconds, the 
ID number returns to its original value before the  button was pressed.
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  f
is left with dead batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batte\
ries are replaced.
Note
Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID]. ( fÆpage 66)

Parts for ceiling mount (Optional)
You can install the projector on the ceiling by using the optional ceiling mount bracket (ET-PKV100H: for high ceiling, ET-
PKV100S: for low ceiling), and the optional projector mount bracket ET-PKV101B.
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. f
Attention
To ensure projector performance and security, installation of the ceiling mount bracket must be carried by your deal\
er or a  f
qualified technician.

Projection distance formulas 
Any other projection distance can be obtained according to the screen dimensions (m) using the following calculations.
The calculated distance may contain a certain error.
If the screen dimensions are written as "SD",
For PT-VW340Z
For 4:3 aspect ratioFor 16:9 aspect ratioFor 16:10 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH)= SD(m) × 0.6= SD(m) × 0.490= SD(m) × 0.530
Screen width (SW)= SD(m) × 0.8= SD(m) × 0.872= SD(m) × 0.848
Minimum distance (LW)= 1.1458 × SD(m)  -  0.0294 = 1.0402 × SD(m)  -  0.0294= 1.0121 × SD(m)  -  0.0294
Maximum distance (LT)= 1.8467 × SD(m)  -  0.0319 = 1.6765 × SD(m)  -  0.0319= 1.6312 × SD(m)  -  0.0319
For PT-VX410Z
For 4:3 aspect ratioFor 16:9 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH)= SD(m) × 0.6= SD(m) × 0.490
Screen width (SW)= SD(m) × 0.8= SD(m) × 0.872
Minimum distance (LW)= 0.9548 × SD(m)  -  0.0294= 1.0403 × SD(m)  -  0.0294

							Adjusting adjustable feet
Lift the front of the projector and press the feet lock latches on both \
side of the projector.
Release the feet lock latches to lock the adjustable feet and rotate the\
 adjustable feet to a proper height and tilt.
You can turn the adjustable feet to extend them. You can turn them in the opposite direction to contract them.
(You can adjust the projection angle vertically.)

Attention
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  f
the adjustable feet.
If keystone distortion occurs on the projected image, perform [KEYSTONE] from the [POSITION] menu. ( fÆpage 54)
Note
Screw up the adjustable feet, and an audible click will be heard as the \
limit. f

							Connecting
Before connecting to the projector
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. f
-  When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the pr\
ojector 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.
If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no option\
al cable is available for connection of the device,  f
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.   f
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
The projector accepts VIDEO signals, S-VIDEO signals, YC fBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous 
signals are TTL level), and digital signal.
Some computer models are not compatible with the projector. f
When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projecto\
r, there is a possibility that the image will not be  f
output correctly unless a compensator is used.
For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. ( fÆpages 108-109)
