Functions for Enhancing Projection................. 14
You can change the projected image in the following two ways.
• Changing by Source Search
The projector automatically detects signals being input from
connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment
is projected.
• Changing directly
You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input
port.
Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change
the Projected Image (Source Search)
You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image
signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source
Search] button.
Computer1VideoS-VideoComputer2
q
Using the remote controlUsing the control panel
When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the
[Source Search] button until the target image is projected.
The following screen showing the status of image signals is
displayed when only the image that the projector is
currently displaying is available, or when no image signal
can be found. You can select the input port where the
connected equipment you want to use is projecting. If no
operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen
closes.
The input port where no image
signal is being input is skipped.
Procedure
When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning
this operataion.

Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Colour
Mode)
You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the
setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The
brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected.
ModeApplication
Photo(When computer images are input)
Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a
bright room. The images are vivid and brought into
contrast.
Sports(When component video, S-video, or composite
video images are input)
Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright room.
The images are vivid and brought to life.
PresentationIdeal for giving presentations in a bright room.
TheatreIdeal for watching films in a dark room. Gives
images a natural tone.
GameIdeal for playing video games in a bright room.
Excels at emphasizing dark gradations.
sRGBgIdeal for images that conform to the sRGB colour
standard.
BlackboardEven if you are projecting onto a blackboard
(greenboard), this setting gives your images a natural
tint, just like when projecting onto a screen.
Procedure
Remote control
Each time you press the button, the colour mode name is displayed on the
screen and the colour mode changes.
If you press the button while the colour mode name is displayed on the
screen, it changes to the next colour mode.
q
The colour mode can also be set using "Color Mode" in the
"Image" menu from the configuration menu.

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)
You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what
you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are
changing between files during presentations from a computer.
Procedure
Remote control
Each time you press the button, A/V Mute turns on or off.
• If you use this function when projecting moving images,
q
the images and sound continue to be played back by the
source, and you cannot return to the point where A/V
Mute was activated.
• You can choose to display black, blue, or logo as the A/V
Mute display using the "Extended"-"Display"-"A/V
s
Mute" setting from the configuration menu.
p.33
Freezing the Image (Freeze)
When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to
project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still
photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files
during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the
freeze function is activated beforehand.
Procedure
Remote control
Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.
• Audio does not stop.
q
• The image source continues to playback the moving
images even while the screen is frozen, and so it is not
possible to resume projection from the point where it was
paused.
• If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the configuration
menu or a help screen is displayed, the menu or help
screen being displayed is cleared.
• Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.

Adjusting Colour for Several Projectors (Multi-Screen Colour Adjustment)
19
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)".
Setting Screen ID
For instance, after setting one projector as screen ID3, when you press
button [3] while holding down the [Num] button, even if there is more
than one projector setup, you can operate just the one set as screen ID3.
Procedure
A
Press the [Menu] button and select "Extended" "Multi-screen" - "Screen ID" from the configuration
menu. s "Using the Configuration Menu" p.28

• Point the remote control at the remote receiver on the projector
you want to operate, press the numeric button corresponding to
the screen ID set while holding down the [Num] button, and then
you can operate only the projector specified with the ID number.
• You can operate all projectors regardless of the screen ID
settings by pointing the remote control at the remote receiver on
the projector, and pressing the [0] button while holding down the
[Num] button.
• The screen IDs set here are only effective during "Image
Correction" for "Multi-screen".
• If a projector that is not the object of operation reacts to
the remote control, point the remote control at the remote
receiver on that projector and press the number set as that
projector's screen ID while holding down the [Num]
button.

• You can start adjusting from any level, usually you can make it
darker or lighter by adjusting 1 to 5 or 5 to 1.
Adjust the brightness with "Brightness Correct.".
• When you select level 5, it adjusts to the darkest image from
several projectors.
• When you select level 1, it adjusts to the brightest image from
several projectors.
• When you select level 2 to 4, it adjusts to the mid-range
brightness image from several projectors.
• Each time the [Enter] button is pressed the image displayed

Security Functions
22
The projector has the following enhanced security functions.
• Password Protect
You can limit who can use the projector.
• Operation Lock
You can prevent people changing the settings on the projector
without permission.
• Security Lock
The projector is equipped with various types of anti-theft security
devices.
Managing Users (Password Protect)
When Password Protect is activated, people who do not know the
password cannot use the projector to project images even if the projector
power is on. Furthermore, the user's logo that is displayed when you turn
on the projector cannot be changed. This acts as an anti-theft device as the
projector cannot be used even if it is stolen. At the time of purchase,
Password Protect is not activated.
f Type of Password Protect
The following four kinds of password protect settings can be made
according to how the projector is being used.
1. "Power On Protect"
When "Power On Protect" is "On", the password must be entered
whenever the projector is turned on after it has been disconnected from
the power supply it was connected to the last time the password was
entered.
If the correct password is not entered, projection does not start.
2. "Password Timer"
When "Password Timer" is set to "On" and a time limit is set, the
projector requests the password after the time limit has passed.
3. "User's Logo Protect"
When "User's Logo Protect" is set to "On" the user's logo cannot be
changed and the following setting changes for user's logo are
prohibited.
• Capturing a user's logo
• Settings for "Display Background", "Startup Screen", and "A/V
Mute" from "Display" on the configuration menu.
4. "Network Protect" (EMP-6100 only)
When "Network Protect" is set to "On" setting changes for "Network"
in the configuration menu are prohibited.
