Preparation
Using Remote control
Inserting and removing the batteries
1) Open the cover.
(i)
(ii)
2) Insert the batteries and close the cover 
(insert the 
 side first).
▶zWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps 
in the reverse order
.
Setting Remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each 
projector individually using single remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector .
After setting the ID number of the projector, set same ID number on the remote control.
The ID number of the projector is set to [ALL] by the factory default. When using a single projector , press 
the  button on the remote control. If you are not sure of the ID number of the projector, you can 
control the projector by pressing the  button.
▶■ How to set
1) Press the  button on the remote control.
2)  
W
 ithin five seconds, press the one-digit ID number set on the projector using the 
number ( - ) buttons.
▶z If you press the  button, you can operate the projectors regardless the setting of the projectors’
 ID 
numbers.
Attention
 z Since setting of the ID number on the remote control can be performed even without the projector
, do not press 
the  button carelessly

. If you press the  button and do not press the number ( - ) 
buttons within five seconds, the ID will remain the same as before the  button was pressed.
 z 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 is left with dead batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.
Note
 z Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECT

OR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID] (

▶■ Projection distance calculation formula
You can calculate projection dimensions from the projection screen size SD (m) using the formula below.
The unit of the formula is “m”. (All values obtained using the formula below are approximate and may dif
fer 
slightly from the actual values.)
Screen aspect ratio 16:9 Screen aspect ratio 4:3
Projection screen height (SH) = SD (m) x 0.490= SD (m) x 0.6
Projection screen width (SW) = SD (m) x 0.872 = SD (m) x 0.8
Minimum projection distance (LW) = SD (m) x 1.1503 
- 0.056 = SD (m) x 1.4098 - 0.053
Maximum projection distance (LT) = SD (m) x 2.2951 
- 0.041 = SD (m) x 2.8106 - 0.037

Adjusting adjustable feet
In order to make the projection screen rectangle, place the projector on a flat surface with its front surface parallel 
to the screen. If the screen is tilted lower, extend the adjustable feet and adjust the angle to make a rectangle 
screen. If the projector is tilted horizontally, also use the adjustable feet and adjust the angle to keep the projector 
flat. The adjustable feet can be extended by turning it as shown in the figure, and it is retracted by turning it in the 
reverse direction.
Adjustable range
Adjustable feet: 1\/6 mm (5/\f)
Attention
 zHeated air is expelled from the air exhaust port. Do not touch the air exhaust port directly when adjusting the 
adjustable feet.

Lens shift and positioning
If the projector is not positioned right in front of the center of the screen, you can adjust the projected image 
position using the lens shift function.
▶■ Adjusting the lens shift
1) Remove the lens shift cover
