Adjusting Colour for Several Projectors (Multi-Screen Colour Adjustment)

When several projectors are lined up and projecting images, you can adjust the brightness and colour tone of each projector's image with multi-screen colour adjustment so that the colours of images from each projector match closely. In some cases the brightness and colour tone may not match completely even after adjustment.

Summary of Adjustment Procedure

Make adjustments according to the following procedure.

1. Setting screen ID

Before setting up the projectors, set one screen ID for each. When making adjustments for two or more projectors using the remote control, you can operate them individually by setting individual screen IDs for each projector.

2. Making image corrections

After the projectors are setup, you can adjust the image for each projector. Using Image Correction you can adjust from black to white in five stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each level 1 to 5 you can adjust the following two points.

• Adjusting brightness Adjust each image by levels 1 to 5 so that they are all equal.

• Adjusting colour Adjust each image by levels 1 to 5 so that the colours match using "Color Correct. (G/R)" and "Color Correct. (B/Y)".

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods.

Attention

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from the ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.

• If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the ceiling mount and could damage the projector. When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants and so on.

• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.

• Project images from in front of the screen (Front projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of the screen. (Front/Ceiling projection)

• Project images from behind a translucent screen (Rear projection)

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen. (Rear/Ceiling projection)

• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending

the projector from the ceiling.

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds.

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth. If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.

Attention

Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or become discoloured.

Cleaning the Lens Cover Glass

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning glasses to gently wipe the lens cover glass.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter when the following message is displayed.

• "The air filter is clogged. Clean or replace the air filter."

• "Clean or replace the air filter."

However, if the air filter has turned brown because it has been stained by tobacco smoke and so on, it cannot be cleaned. In this case, replace it with a new air filter. s "How to replace the air filter" p.60

Attention

• If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter immediately when the message is displayed.

• If you continue to use the air filter after it has turned brown and been stained with tobacco resin, the optical engine deteriorates quickly and the luminance intensity falls.

Attention

Do not rub the lens cover glass with harsh materials or subject the lens to shocks, as it can easily become damaged.

Cleaning

Procedure

Open the air filter cover.

While pushing the air filter catches, pull the cover down.

Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the air filter.

• After cleaning the air filter, make sure you set "Reset Air

Filter Time" from the configuration menu.

• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air

filter.

Replacing Consumables

This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the lamp, and the air filter.

Replacing the Remote Control Batteries

If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new batteries. Have two spare AAA-size alkali batteries ready to use when required.

Attention

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms before handling the batteries.

Procedure

Remove the battery cover.

While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover up.

Safety Instructions

• The lamp indicator flashes orange.

Attention

• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality

of the projected images.

·When used continually at high brightness: About 1900 hours

·When used continually at low brightness: About 2900 hours

• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.

• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a spare lamp ready incase it is needed.

f How to replace the lamp

"Brightness Control" p.31

Flashing orange

• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate

Attention

• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating, there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken. If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken, and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.

• Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off for the lamp to be cool enough.

Replacing Consumables

Procedure

After you turn off the projector's power and the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.

Wait until the lamp has cooled down, then remove the lamp cover from the surface of the projector.

Open the lamp cover by inserting the screwdriver supplied with the new lamp into the lamp cover side switch, and remove the lamp cover without removing the screwdriver.

Loosen the two lamp fixing screws.

Take out the old lamp.

If the lamp is cracked, replace it with a new lamp, or contact your local dealer for further advice. If replacing the lamp yourself, be careful to avoid pieces of broken glass.

Replacing Consumables

Install the new lamp.

Insert the new lamp so that the lamp fits in place correctly and, once it is fully inserted, tighten the two screws.

Replace the lamp cover.

Attention

• Make sure you install the lamp securely. If the lamp cover is removed, the lamp turns off automatically as a safety precaution. If the lamp or the lamp cover is not installed correctly, the lamp does not turn on.

• This product includes a lamp component that contains mercury (Hg). Please consult your local regulations regarding disposal or recycling. Do not dispose of it with normal household waste.

f Resetting the lamp operating time

The projector records how long the lamp is turned on and a message and indicator notify you when it is time to replace the lamp. After replacing the lamp, make sure you reset the lamp hours from the configuration menu. s p.39

Only reset the lamp operating time after the lamp has been

replaced, otherwise the lamp replacement period is not indicated correctly.

Glossary

This section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.

Aspect ratio The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for

standard images is 4:3.

Component video A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality.

Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (colour difference signals).

Composite video Video signals that have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household

video equipment (NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats). The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal that are contained in the colour bar are overlapped to form a single signal.

Contrast The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more

clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".

Dolby Digital A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6-

channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer.

HDTV An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.

• Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p =progressive

• Screen aspect ratio

• Dolby Digital

Interlace A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting from left

to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.

Progressive A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single

image.

Refresh rate The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image

must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).

SDTV An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for

HDTV

SNMP An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers

and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.

Squeeze mode In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording

medium as 4:3 images. When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.

sRGB An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled

easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the connected signal source to sRGB.

Glossary

SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ^ 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. S-video A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality.

Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (colour signal).

SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1280 (horizontal) ^ 1024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. Synchronization The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting

images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.

Tracking The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting

images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called Tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal.

VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) ^ 480 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1024 (horizontal) ^ 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
