◆Loading the batteries into the remote control
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert two batteries (AA, UM3, or R6 type), matching the polarity
markings on the batteries with those in the battery
compartment.
3. After loading the batteries, close the cover until it snaps into
place.
Warning
•If the remote control must be used closer to the main unit than normal, or does not always operate correctly, exchange the
batteries for new ones.
•Do not mix old and new, or different types of batteries.
•Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time.
•If the batteries leak, dispose of them immediately, taking care not to touch the battery fluid. If the battery fluid comes into contact
with your eyes, mouth, or skin, rinse it off with water immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly
before installing new batteries.
◆Using the remote control with a wired connection
Use a 2P monaural miniplug cable (commercially available) to connect the remote control jack on the underside of the remote control to the
REMOTE IN jack on the main unit. Use the wired remote control configuration to control the DPX-1300 without having to be within range
of the remote sensor.

Before projection, install the main unit and a screen, connect the main unit to an AV component or computer, and adjust the projection image.
You can begin projection as soon as installation is complete.
Refer to the sections below for information on how to install the main unit to suit your viewing environment.
◆If you have not installed the main unit or screen
• Immediately after purchase, when you have not installed either the main unit or a screen.
• When moving the main unit and screen to a new location.
◆If you have installed the main unit and screen, and connected a
source component
• You have installed the main unit and screen, and connected source components.
• You are using the main unit in a previously installed location with previously connected source components.
◆If you have installed the main unit and screen, but not connected
any image playback components
• You have installed the main unit and screen, but not connected any source components.
• You are using the main unit in a previously installed location, and wish to change the component you use as a signal source.
You do not need to carry out step 3 or step 4 if you
do not want to adjust the projection image. If the
unit does not project the image correctly, it may not
be connected correctly. In this case, carry out this
procedure starting from step 2.

Setting up the DPX-1300
◆Mounting the projector on a table
A: From in front of a screen
Place the unit on a table to project and view the image from in front of the screen. Usually,
place the unit on a reasonably high table. The height from the bottom of the unit to the center
of the lens is 12.4 cm (4”-7/8).
B: From behind a screen (using a semi-translucent screen)
Place the unit on a table to project and view the image from behind a semi-translucent
screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as “A: From in
front of the screen”.
• Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Rear/Table]. (☞ page 27 - 47)
◆Mounting the projector on the ceiling
There are two kinds of brackets (sold separately: PMT-L31 and PMT-H35), which you can use to mount the projector on the ceiling. Please
consult your dealer for details on their use, and have installation done by either your dealer or a reputable contractor.
C: From in front of a screen
Mount the unit on the ceiling to project and view the image from in front of the screen. The
distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as “A: From in front of the
screen”.
• 
Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Front/Ceiling]. (☞ page 27 - 47)
D: From behind a semi-translucent screen
Mount the unit on the ceiling to project and view the image from behind a semi-translucent
screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as “B: From
behind a screen”.
•
Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Rear/Ceiling]. (☞ page 27 - 47)
There are four ways of mounting the projector.

Installation

English
The most suitable distance between the screen and the projector (see Projection distance [a]) depends on the size of the screen (diagonal
length) you use. You can use the zoom function to adjust the projection distance within a preset range from Wide to Tele. You can also alter
the V.POS parameter to adjust the vertical position of the image to better suit the screen. Use the information in the table below to determine
the best location to place the projector in to suit your screen size.
Projection distance

Since the DPX-1300 has a 16:9 panel, the ideal installation location for use with a 4:3 screen depends on the size of the image you wish to
view.
 
60 80 100 150 200
*These are theoretical values.
During actual use there may be a deviance of a few percent.
(*1) Projects a 16:9 image that completely fills the screen (leaves a black line at the top and bottom of the screen).
(*2) Projects a 4:3 image that completely fills the screen.
(*3) When projecting both 16:9 and 4:3 images.
You can use the zoom function to make efficient use of the screen for both *1 and *2 above. The projection distance in this case is
between Wide in *2 and Tele in *1. Use the zoom to adjust the size of the projection images so that they fill the screen completely. Note
that adjustments to V.POS may cause the position of the image to change.

Follow the instructions to adjust the position of the projected image on screen.

This illustration shows the limits within which the
zoom function can alter projection distance [a] in
relation to screen size. You can adjust the image
within these limits so that it fills the screen
completely. ( ☞ page 26)

You can adjust the vertical position of the
projection image up or down by half of the height
of the screen. For example, shifting V.POS fully up
brings the lower limit of the image above the
centerline of the lens. (☞ page 25)

If you mount this unit on a tabletop, you can use the adjusters on its underside to change the
position of the projection image. Rotate the movable part of the two screw-type adjusters at
the front bottom of the case to adjust the height. The movement range of the adjusters is 3
cm (1-1/4 inch). Adjust with care as loosening them further than 3 cm may cause them to
separate from the unit.
Projection image position
◆Keystone adjustment
If you mount the unit at an angle to the screen, it projects trapezoidally distorted images. You can use the [V keystone Correction] or [H
keystone Correction] item in the [Setup] menu group to rectify this. (☞ page 36)
Memo
•If the keystone is adjusted aspect ratio may not be correctly maintained. To correctly maintain the aspect ratio, try to use the DPX-
1300 with the lens shift in the center position.
•The video may be disturbed by keystone correction. Wherever possible, we recommend setting up so the screen and projector
form a right angle.Wide Tele
