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 assigned to each projector .
After setting the remote control ID of the projector, set the same remote control ID to the remote control.
There are 7 different remote control IDs: [All], [ID1]~[ID6], the initial remote control ID is [All].
Setting the remote control ID J
  1)    While holding down the  key, press the  key. The number of times you press the 
 key corresponds to the desired remote control ID.
       The number of times to press the  key is as follows: 
       ID1 = Once, ID2 = Twice, ID3 = 3 times, ID4 = 4 times, ID5 = 5 times, ID6 = 6 times.
   2) The remote control ID is changed when the  button is releas\
ed.
 JResetting the remote control ID
   1)   The remote control ID is reset to [All] (default) by pressing the  key and  key at the 
same time for 10 seconds or more.
Note
When operating the projector under [All] code, you can operate several p\
rojectors at the same time. z
If the  button is pressed 7 times or more, the remote control ID cannot be changed (the operation is invalid). z For setting the remote control ID codes, see [Remote ID] in the [Setting] menu. (
 zÆ page 43)
If the battery is not in use for a long period of time and is removed fr\
om the remote control, the remote control ID will be 
 z reset.

high ceiling, ET-PKV100S: for low ceiling), the optional projector mount base ET-PKC200B, and the optional wall 
mount bracket ET-PKC200W.
Use only the ceiling mount brackets or wall mount bracket specified for this projector .
 z
Refer to the installation manual for the ceiling mount bracket or wall m\
ount bracket when you install the bracket  z

Adjusting Projection Image Size
For the setting of this projector, please refer to the following diagram or the projection distance on the next page.Attention
Before installing, please read “Precautions for Use”. ( zÆ pages 13 to 16)
 
Do not use the projector and the high-powered laser equipment in the same room. Hitting of a laser beam on to the lens  z can damage the DLP chips.
Note
Make sure the surface of the proejction screen not be bended, otherwise \
the projection image may not be  zprojected correctly.

If the screen dimensions are written as "SD",
For 16:10 aspect ratioFor 16:9 aspect ratio For 4:3 aspect ratio

Connections
Before connecting to the projector
Read carefully the instruction manual for the device to be connected. z
Turn 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-RGB (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 projector, there is a possibility that the image  z
will not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.
For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (
 zÆpages 70-71)
Attention
When connecting with a video deck, be sure to use the one with a built-in time base corrector (TBC) or use a  TBC between  z
the projector and the video deck.
If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. \
If this is the case, connect a TBC between the 
 zprojector and the video deck.
Note
Use an HDMI cable that conforms to HDMI standards such as an HDMI High Speed cable. If a cable that does not meet  zHDMI standards is used, video may be interrupted or may not be displayed.   
When connecting the 1080p signal using HDMI, use a cable compliant with 1080p signal.
This projector does not support the VIERA Link (HDMI).
