Introduction

This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Projector Features		7

Stacking Two Projectors

Two projectors are stacked one on top of the other to project one image. By using this stacked projection, you can realize a brighter, clearer image.

Because the projectors are linked together, you can operate both projectors as if you were only operating one.

Project Realistic 3D Images

Project stunning 3D content from media such as 3D Blu-ray discs or 3D games. You need the supplied or optional 3D Glasses (ELPGS02A/ ELPGS02B) and a commercially available silver screen to view 3D images.

s "Projecting 3D Images" p.42

Superimpose Two Images with Ease

This device comes equipped with a function that allows you to easily superimpose two images. See the following manual when superimposing images for the first time after installation.

s Startup Guide

Useful Functions for Projecting Images

Increasing projection content in wide (WXGA) screen

With a computer that has a 16:10 WXGA wide LCD display, the image can be projected in the same aspect. You can use whiteboards and other landscape format screens.

s"Changing the Aspect Ratio of the Projected Image" p.39

Making the most of the remote control

You can use the remote control to perform operations such as enlarging part of the image.

s "Enlarging Part of the Image (E-Zoom)" p.47

s "Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)" p.45

Projector Features		8

Enhanced security functions

•Password Protect to restrict and manage users

By setting a Password you can restrict who can use the projector. s "Managing Users (Password Protect)" p.48

•Control Panel Lock to restrict button operation on the control panel

You can use this to prevent people changing projector settings without permission at events, in schools, and so on.

s "Restricting Operation (Control Panel Lock)" p.50

•Equipped with various anti-theft devices

The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security devices.

•Security slot

•Security cable installation point

Device Configuration

Front/Top

This device is comprised of two projectors.

The following example uses the commander. The receiver performs the same operations.

Name	Function
A Commander	Controls the receiver and combines two projectors. You
	can perform projector operations from the commander's
	control panel or the remote control. A sticker labeled "1" is
	stuck to the base of the commander.	Name	Function
B Receiver	When you operate the commander, the receiver performs	A Air exhaust vent	Exhaust vent for air used to cool the projector internally.
	the same operations. A sticker labeled "2" is stuck to the		Caution
	base of the receiver.
C Stacker mount	This mount installs the commander and the receiver in a		While projecting, do not put your face or hands
	stacked configuration.
			near the air exhaust vent, and do not place objects
			that may become warped or damaged by heat near
			the vent. Hot air from the air exhaust vent could
			cause burns, warping, or accidents to occur.

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 following manual before handling the batteries.

s Safety Instructions

a Remove the battery cover.

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

Caution

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

If the batteries are not used correctly, they could explode or leak causing a fire, injury, or damage to the product.

c Replace the battery cover.

Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

b Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Preparing the Projector

This chapter explains how to install the projector and connect projection sources.

Installing the Projector		20

Installation Methods

Before installing, you first need to setup the top and bottom projectors. See the following manual for more information on setting up the projectors and the installation methods.

s Startup Guide

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

ing projection)	(Rear/Ceiling projection)

Warning

•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 fixing points 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 cover the projector's air intake vent or air exhaust vent. If either of the vents are covered, the internal temperature could rise and cause a fire.

Attention

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

a• You cannot view 3D images when projecting onto a rear screen. To view 3D images, project onto the front of a silver screen designed for passive 3D images.

s "Optional Accessories" p.94

•An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling.

s "Optional Accessories" p.94

•The default Projection setting is Front. You can change from Front to Rear from the Configuration menu.

s Extended - Projection p.61

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