Absolute Color Adjustment
As well as using Color Mode, you can also adjust the absolute color temperature of the image and skin tones
to suit your taste.
What's more, you can obtain colors that match the image and achieve the colors you want through a
combination of gamma adjustment, RGB offset or gain adjustment for each color, and hue, saturation, and
brightness adjustment for each RGBCMY color.

Introduction
Conforms to Wireless Transmissions for the WirelessHD Standards (EH-TW6100W
Only)
The projector can wirelessly receive data for images and audio from WirelessHD compatible AV devices. You
do not need to connect a cable directly to the main projector unit.
You can connect up to five AV devices to the WirelessHD Transmitter at the same time, and switch images
using the remote control.
You can also connect other output devices such as televisions, and switch the device. This allows other output
devices to project images from the connected AV device, even if the projector is off.

Other Useful Functions
In addition, the following useful functions are provided.
•
The remote control contains a backlight function allowing for easy use even in dark rooms. Operations are also
simplified by only pressing the
•
Audio is played back via the built-in speaker eliminating the need for external speakers. The Inverse Audio function
also allows you to switch the left and right audio streams when the projector is suspended from a ceiling.
•
You can view slideshows by simply connecting a USB memory to the projector. When a digital camera is connected,
you can view the photos on the camera using Slideshow.
•
The H-Keystone slider allows you to quickly correct keystone distortion when the projector cannot be setup directly
in front of the screen. Because it is a slider, you can make corrections intuitively.

Various Projection Methods
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, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent 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 projector and also damage the
projector.
•
Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•
Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke
from fires or tobacco smoke.
Attention
Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Adjusting the Projection Size
The size of the projection increases as the projector is moved away from the screen.
Use the table below to setup the projector at the optimum position from the screen. The values given here
are for your reference only.
BDistance from the center of the lens to the base of the projection screen
Turn off the equipment you want to connect before connecting. If the equipment is on when you connect,
it could cause a malfunction.
•
Check the shape of the cable's connector and the shape of the port, and then connect. If you force a connector
of a different shape into the port, it could cause damage and a malfunction to occur.
EH-TW6100W comes with an interface cover allowing you to clearly see the connector section on the rear.
Remove the interface cover before connecting any cables.
Connecting to Video Equipment
To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the
following methods.

When using an HDMI cable
Fix the HDMI cable in place using the HDMI cable clamp. s p.20
Connecting to External Devices
Connecting USB devices
You can connect USB devices such as USB memories, and USB compatible digital cameras.
Using the USB cable supplied with the USB device, connect the USB device to the USB (TypeA) port on the
projector.
When the USB device is connected, you can project image files on the USB memory or digital camera as a
slideshow.
When you have finished projecting, remove USB devices from the projector. For devices with a power switch,
make sure you turn them off before disconnecting the USB device.
s
p.63
Attention
•
If you use a USB hub, the connection may not operate correctly. Devices such as digital cameras and USB
devices should be connected to the projector directly.
•
Connect a digital camera using a USB cable specified for use with the device.
•
Use a USB cable less than 3 m in length. If the cable exceeds 3 m, slideshow may not function correctly.

Removing the Interface Cover
The interface cover is attached to the connector section on the rear of EH-TW6100W. Remove this cover when
using a cable to connect a device.
There are gaps at the bottom of the interface cover that allows you to pull the cover forward and lift it from
the grooves at the top.
•
When reattaching, first insert the protruding sections into the grooves at the top.
•
c
Make sure you store the interface cover safely, as you need this when transporting the projector.
Connecting an HDMI Cable Clamp
If the HDMI cable is thick and hangs down, make sure you secure it to the cable holder with an HDMI clamp
so that the cable's weight does not disconnect it from the port.
