only when RGB signal input is applied
with RGB1 and RGB2 IN.
• Automatic adjustment is not available
if signals having a dot clock frequency
of more than 150 MHz are supplied.

PROJECTOR ID
The projector has an ID number setting function
that helps the user to control two or more projectors
either simultaneously or separately with a single
remote control. The ID number is set to “ALL” by
default. Hence the ID number need not be set
when only one projector is used.
1 – 64 : The ID number is set in this range.
• The ID number can be set to “ALL”, or
selected from “1” to “64”.
• If the projectors are given ID numbers,
their remote controls must be assigned
the same ID numbers, respectively.
• If the ID number of a projector is set to
“ALL”, it can be controlled by the
remote control or the PC with any ID
number. 
If multiple projectors are used and
some of them have their IDs set to
“ALL”, they cannot be controlled
separately from the projectors with
other ID numbers.
For details on remote control ID
setting, see page 15.Note

LAMP SELECT
“LAMP SELECT” is used to choose from “SINGLE”
and “DUAL” modes depending on user’s needs or
viewing conditions. 
In “SINGLE” mode, the projector may automatically
select either lamp from the 2 lamps, or the
particular lamp can be specified.
DUAL : Two lamps are used simultaneously.

One of either lamps is used (lamp with shorter
operating hours is automatically selected).
LAMP1 : Lamp Unit 1 is always used.
LAMP2 : Lamp Unit 2 is always used.
When one of the above settings is selected, it will
take effect after the ENTER button is pressed.
• If, in the “SINGLE”, “LAMP1” or
“LAMP2” mode, one lamp remains off
or the currently active lamp exceeds 
3 000 hours of cumulative operating
time, the other lamp will light. If, in the
“DUAL” mode, one lamp remains off or
the currently active lamp exceeds 
3 000 hours of cumulative operating
time, the other lamp alone will light.
However, if both lamps remain off or
the 3 000 hours of cumulative
operating time are exceeded, the
projector will enter the standby mode.
• The colors of the items indicate the
status.

RELAY” is disabled.
00:00 - 23:00
: This can be set in one hour intervals from
00:00 to 23:00.

selected in “LAMP SELECT”, “LAMP
RELAY” is active. If “LAMP1” or
“LAMP2” is selected, “LAMP RELAY”
function is not available.
• When “DUAL” is selected in “LAMP
SELECT”, only one lamp will light for a
4-hour period after the set time.
• When “SINGLE” is selected in “LAMP
SELECT”, the lamp that was off at the
set time will light, and then the lamp
that was lighted until the set time will
turn off.
