Using the remote control unit
Loading dry cells
When loading batteries into the battery
compartment of the remote control, make sure that
their polarities are correct.
1. Open battery compartment lid.
Open the lid in the order of steps  and  .
2. Insert the dry cells.
Into battery compartment, with their polarities
orientated as indicated ( ,  ) in the
compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment lid.
Replace the battery compartment lid over the
compartment and slide until it clicks.
Effective range of remote
control operation
The remote control should normally be aimed at either
the front or rear remote control receiver window on
the projector (figure 1). Otherwise, it may also be
aimed at the screen, which will reflect commands
back to the projector’s front receiver window as
illustrated in figure 2.
The effective control range is approx. 30 m from the
beam receiver on the front or rear.
• Do not drop the remote control unit.
• Do not expose remote control unit to
any liquid.
• Do not use NiCd batteries.Attention
Note• When the remote control is aimed at
the screen, the effective control range
may be reduced due to the optical loss
by screen reflection.
• The remote control may not function
properly if an object is in the light path.
• The remote control receiver may not
function properly in intense ambient
light such as fluorescent lamps.
Carefully site the projector so its
remote control receiver windows will
not be directly exposed to intense
light.
Accessory type-AA dry
batteries (insert the negative
side first).

ENGLISH
Setting projector ID number to remote control
Every projector has its ID number and the ID number of the controlling projector must be set to the remote
control in advance so that the user can operate the remote control. The ID number of the projector is set to
“ALL” on shipping, and use the ID ALL button of the remote control when using only a single projector.
Procedure of ID setting 
Press the ID SET button, and within five seconds use the number (0 to 9) buttons
to enter the 2-digit ID number set by the projector.
However, if the ID ALL button is pressed, the projector can be controlled regardless of the ID number of the
projector (simultaneous control mode).
• Do not press the ID SET button accidentally or carelessly because the ID number on the remote
control can be set even when no projector is around.
If the ID SET button is pressed, the ID number goes back to the one set before pressing the ID
SET button unless a numeric button is pressed within five seconds after the ID SET button is
pressed.
• Your specified ID number is stored in the remote control unit unless another one is specified later.
However, the stored ID will be erased if the batteries of the remote control are left exhausted.
When the dry cells are replaced, set the same ID number again.Attention
Connect to the projector to use with a cable
When multiple main units are connected in the system, connect the units with the M3 stereo mini jack cable
available in the market to simultaneously control the multiple main units with a single remote control unit through
the REMOTE1 IN/OUT terminal. It is effective to use the wired remote control in the environment in which an
obstacle stands in the light path or where devices are susceptible to outside light.
• Use two-core shielded cable of length smaller than 15 m. If the cable length exceeds 15 m, or if
the shielding of the cable is inadequate, the operation may be unsatisfactory.Attention

• Do not place or use one projector on top of another projection unit.
• Leave a clearance of at least 50 cm so that the ventilation opening on the rear panel will not be
blocked. (page 59)
Attention
Projection schemes
Any of the following four projection schemes can be used depending on user’s needs or viewing conditions.
Use “OPTION2” menu (chosen from the MAIN MENU) to choose the appropriate projection scheme. (page 33)

Calculation formulas for projection distance by lens types
Note• The dimensions in the table in page 17 and the values obtained from the above formulas may
contain slight errors.
• When an SXGA signal is input and projected, the right and left ends of the picture will be blanked
and the aspect ratio will be 5:4.
• The brightness is different between the wide lens position settings and telephoto lens position

Setup precautions
• Before connecting any of your video/audio equipment to the projector, carefully read the owners manual
supplied with the equipment once again.
• All cable connections should be made with the entire system devices, including the projector, first turned off.
• Obtain commercial interconnecting cables for devices supplied with no accessory or optional interconnect
cables.
• Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or shake.
Inserting a time base corrector (TBC) in the projector’s video line will relieve this problem.
• The projector only accepts composite-video, S-Video, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. level) and digital signal.
• Some PC models are not compatible with the PT-D4000E projector.
• When using long cables to connect various equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will
not be output correctly unless a compensator is used.
• The pin assignments on the S-VIDEO IN terminal are
as follows:• The pin assignments on the DVI-D input terminal
are as follows (interface with DVI-D output
terminal on PC):
• The pin assignments on the RGB2 input terminal are
as follows:

• The DVI-D input terminal supports single link only.
• EDID settings may be needed depending on the DVI
equipment being connected. (page 32)
• The DVI-D input terminal can be used to connect to a
DVI equipment, but note that images may not appear
or the projector may not work properly when
connected to certain DVI equipment. 
• This projector supports HDCP.

Note• For the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, see the data sheet on
page 58.
• If your PC has the resume feature (last memory), the computer may not function properly until the
resume capability is disabled.
• When the SYNC ON GREEN signal is input, do not input sync signals to the SYNC/HD and VD
terminals. 
• The EDID settings may be needed depending on the equipment connected when DVI-D signals
are input. (Refer to page 32.)

• 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 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 projector and the video deck.
• The EDID settings may be needed depending on the equipment connected when DVI-D signals
are input. (Refer to page 32.)Attention
