As well as using Color Mode, you can also adjust the absolute color temperature of the image and skin tones
s
to suit your taste.
p.36
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
s
brightness adjustment for each RGBCMY color.
p.33
Conforms to Wireless Transmissions for the WirelessHD Standards (EH-TW9000W
only)
The projector can wirelessly receive control signals and data for images from WirelessHD compatible devices.
Because devices do not need to be connected directly to the projector via a cable, they can be setup wherever
s
you like.

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
•
Lens shift allows you to adjust the projection position when the projector cannot be setup directly in front of the
screen. The ability to move the projection position up, down, left, and right from in front of the screen without
changing the projection range, gives you more freedom to place the projector where you want.
•
The Frame Interpolation function creates an intermediary image between one frame and the next rendering a
smoother, cleaner viewing experience, and removing jarring movements such as frame skipping.
•
The Super-resolution function allows you to enjoy DVDs in high resolution. Also, low resolution areas (parts that are
blurred) of full hi-vision images become smoother and sharper.

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 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.

Connecting to Devices
Attention
•
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.
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.19

When using an HDMI cable
Fix the HDMI cable in place using the HDMI cable clamp. s p.19
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.
If the cable cover is attached, you do not need to attach a cable clamp because the cable is secured

Connecting to External Devices
Connecting to the Trigger out port
You can connect to external devices such as electric screens with a 3.5 mm mini jack.

Basic Operations
Adjusting the Projection Size (Zoom Adjustment)
Turn the zoom ring to adjust the size of the projected screen.
Adjusting the Projector's Tilt
If the projection screen is tilted (the left and right sides of the projector are at different heights) when the
projector is setup on a table, adjust the front foot so that both sides are level with each other.
Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image (Lens Shift)
If the projector cannot be setup in front of the screen, you can adjust the position of the image by using lens
shift.
Make adjustments using the lens shift dial.
You can adjust the position up, down, left, and right
within the range of the dotted line shown in the illustration on the right.
The vertical (V) position (up and down) can be adjusted
by up to 96% of the height of the screen, while the horizontal (H) position (right and left) can be adjusted by
up to 47% of the width of the screen.
To reset the image position to the center, return the dial
to the central position.
To locate the center of the lens shift range, turn the lens
shift dial until you hear it click.

Basic Operations
Caution
When transporting the projector, return the lens to the central position. If you transport the projector when
the lens is shifted up, down, left, or right, the lens shift mechanism could be damaged.
If keystone distortion occurs when projecting at an angle by using lens shift, you may not be able
c
to correct the distortion completely. When using lens shift, setup the projector so that it is parallel
to the screen, and then only use lens shift to adjust the position.
