31 ENGLISH INPUT RESOLUTION Input resolution adjustment achieves the best image when the screen flickers or halo is observed around the contour. : These select the items listed below. : These select the value. “TOTAL DOTS”, “DISPLAY DOTS”, “TOTAL LINES” and “DISPLAY LINES” Each item automatically displays a value in response to the type of the input signal. If vertical stripes appear on the screen or the image is partly missing, increase or decrease the displayed value while observing the screen to achieve the optimal value. CLAMP POSITION (For RGB/YPBPRsignals only) Use the clamp position adjustment to achieve the optimal value when dark areas of the image are crushed or displayed in green. Adjust with the buttons. The value changes from 0 to 255. The optimal value for the clamp position adjustment • If dark areas are crushed: The optimal value is the point where the dark area is best improved. • If the dark areas are displayed in green: The optimal value is the point where the green area becomes dark and clear. EDGE BLENDING This projector has the function to hide the seams for multi-screens. Press to select “EDGE BLENDING”. Press to switch “EDGE BLENDING”. OFF : When the multi-screens are not going to be used. ON : When using “EDGE BLENDING” function. Press to select “BRIGHT ADJUST”. Press the ENTER button. The “BRIGHT ADJUST” screen will be displayed. Press to select “BRIGHT INSIDE”. Press the ENTER button. The “BRIGHT INSIDE” adjustment screen will be displayed.

Press the ENTER button to toggle “ON” and “OFF”. Press to adjust the compensation width and start position. Press to select “MARKER”. Press the ENTER button to select “ON”. A marker for adjusting the picture position appears. The optimal point is the position where the red line of one frame overlaps the green line of the other frame. However, depending on the installation environment or the lens to be used, dot- misalignment may occur. The correction widths of the jointed frames must be the same value all the time. The optimal joint cannot be achieved if the jointed frames have different correction widths. • The abovementioned vertical stripes will not appear on the screen when all white signals are input. • The picture may be distorted during the adjusting operation, but this is not a fault. • The input resolution can be adjusted 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. Note • The clamp position can be adjusted only when the RGB signal input is applied with RGB1 and RGB2 IN. Note The optimal point is where these lines overlap.

37 ENGLISH 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. SINGLE : 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 2 000 hours of cumulative operating time (when “HIGH” is selected as the “LAMP POWER” setting), the other lamp will light. If, in the “DUAL” mode, one lamp remains off or the currently active lamp exceeds 2 000 hours of cumulative operating time (when “HIGH” is selected as the “LAMP POWER” setting), the other lamp alone will light. However, if both lamps remain off or the 2 000 hours of cumulative operating time (when “HIGH” is selected as the “LAMP POWER” setting) are exceeded, the projector will enter the standby mode. • The colours of the items indicate the status. Green Current setting Yellow Current setting (when a lamp fails or fails to light) Red Lamp that has failed to light White Any other status • If the projector is repeatedly used for short periods of time, the lamps will need to be replaced more frequently.Note LAMP RELAY If using the projector for a continuous period of 24 hours or more, this setting can be used to automatically switch the lamps that are turned on in order to reduce the lamp deterioration that can occur as a result of continuous use. OFF : This is the standard setting. “LAMP RELAY” is disabled. 00:00 - 23:00 : This can be set in one hour intervals from 00:00 to 23:00. • Only when “DUAL” or “SINGLE” is 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. • The setting time will be the local time. (page 38)Note LAMP POWER The luminance of the projection lamp can be changed depending on user’s needs or the viewing conditions. HIGH : Set when high brightness is necessary. LOW : Set when high brightness is not necessary. • When set to “LOW”, it is possible to reduce power consumption, reduce operating noise and extend lamp service life.Note RS-232C This sets the communication parameters at the serial terminals.
