Functions for Enhancing Projection

Setting the Auto Iris

By automatically setting the luminance according to the brightness of the displayed image, it lets you enjoy deep and rich images.

Procedure

Press the [Menu] button and select "Image" - "Auto Iris" from the configuration menu. s "Using the Configuration Menu" p.38

Using the remote control Using the control panel

Select "On".

The setting is stored for each color mode.

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

Press the [Menu] button to close the configuration menu.

Auto Iris can be set only when the color mode is Game, Theatre or Customized.

Each time you press the button, A/V Mute turns on or off.

Functions for Enhancing Projection

• If you use this function when projecting moving images,

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 Mute" setting from the configuration menu.

• You can set so that the projector automatically turns off about 30 minutes after the A/V mute slide is closed and A/V mute begins. To make the setting, use "Extended" "Sleep Mode" of the configuration menu.

p.46

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.

p.45

Procedure

Remote control

Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.

• Audio does not stop.

• 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.

Restrictions in the Target Projector when Using Multiple Projectors

When an ID is set for the projector and the remote control, you can use the remote control to operate only the projector with a matching ID. This is very useful when managing multiple projectors. You can set an ID for the projector within a range of "1" to "9". While the projector’s ID setting is "OFF" (default setting), the remote control can be used regardless of the ID setting on the remote control. You can set a projector ID on the remote control within a range of "0" to "9". While the ID setting is "0" (default setting), the remote control can be used regardless of the projector’s ID setting. The ID setting on the remote control is reset to "0" each time you switch off the projector.

Correcting Color for Multiple Projectors (Multi-Screen Color Adjustment)

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

Summary of Correction Procedure

When multiple projectors are setup and you need to make corrections, use the following procedure to correct one projector at a time.

1. Set the projector ID and the remote control ID

To limit operation to one target projector, set a Projector ID for the target projector, and set the same ID for the remote control. s p.29

2. Correct the color difference

You can carry out color correction when projecting from multiple projectors. You can adjust from black to white in five stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each of these 5 levels you can adjust the following two points.

• Correcting brightness You can correct the image brightness to make them all equal.

• Correcting color You can adjust the image color to make them match more closely by using "Color Correct. (G/R)" and "Color Correct. (B/Y)".

Correction Method

After setting up the projectors, correct the brightness and tone for each projector to reduce the differences.

Procedure

Press the [Menu] button and select "Extended" "Multi-screen" from the configuration menu. s "Using the Configuration Menu" p.38

Select the level to be corrected in "Adjustment Level".

• Each time a level is selected, the pattern of the level selected is displayed.

• You can start correcting from any level, usually you can make it darker or lighter by correcting 1 to 5 or 5 to 1.

Correct the brightness with "Brightness Correct.".

• When you select level 5, it adjusts to the darkest image from multiple projectors.

• When you select level 1, it adjusts to the brightest image from multiple projectors.

• When you select level 2 to 4, it adjusts to the mid-range brightness image from multiple projectors.

• Each time the [Enter] button is pressed the image displayed changes between the pattern display and the actual image, and you can check the correction results and make corrections in the actual image.

Sub Menu Function

Security Select the security type from the items that are displayed.

When setting up security, follow the instructions from the administrator of the network system you are about to access.

Type of security

When the specific wireless LAN unit is installed and being used in Manual Mode, it is strongly recommended that you set security. Select one of the following security methods.

•WEP Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key) This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.

•WPA/WPA2 This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses "TKIPg". TKIP uses PSK (Pre-Shared Key) to automatically update the encryption key at regular fixed intervals, which makes it harder to break compared to WEP which uses a constant encryption key. WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.

•EAP EAP is a protocol used for communication between clients and authentication severs. These are multiple protocols, such as EAP-TLS which uses electronic certification for user authentication, LEAP which uses user ID and password, and EAP-TTLS.

• For setting details, follow the directions from the network administrator of your network.

• If using EAP, you need to make settings at the projector that match the authentication server settings. Check with your network administrator for details on RADIUS settings.

• Register an electronic certificate and a CA certificate to the projector. Only one set of an electronic certificate and a CA certificate can be registered to the projector. These certificates are used with EAP-TLS.

Installation Methods

The projector supports the following four different projection methods. Install according to the conditions of the installation location.

Caution

• A special method of installation is required when suspending the

projector from a 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.

Attention

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 a ceiling.

• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the [A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five seconds. "Front" Set "Rear" or "Rear/Ceiling" from the configuration menu.

"Front/Ceiling"

p.45

p.85

Cleaning

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 discolored.

Cleaning the Lens

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.

• Do not rinse the air filter in water. Do not use detergents or solvents.

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

Attention

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

Cleaning the Air Filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed. "The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent, and clean or replace the air filter."

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

• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once every three months. Clean them more often than this if using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.

p.84

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 AA-size manganese or alkaline batteries ready. You cannot use other batteries except for the AA size manganese or alkaline.

Attention

Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/Support and Service

Guide before handling the batteries.

Procedure

Remove the battery cover.

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

Safety Instructions

Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Caution

Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
