Introduction

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

Projector Features

Ease of use when installed on a ceiling mount

Centered lens

The lens is positioned in the center of the projector so it is well balanced and is easy to mount on a ceiling. This also makes it easy to line up the screen and the projector.

Equipped with electric lens shift, zoom and focus functions

The lens shift function allows you to adjust the position of the projected image along the horizontal and vertical axes which opens up a wide variety of installation locations.

The lens shift, zoom, and focus functions can be operated with a remote control so operation is easy even if the projector is mounted on the ceiling.

Six optional lenses are available

You can select the best lens according to the projection distance and purpose. All the optional lenses are bayonet-type which allows you to simply and easily replace and install the optional lenses.

Horizontal and vertical installation possible

The projector can be pointed either up or down to project images on the floor or ceiling. This makes it an effective communication tool that lets you express your ideas with great impact.

A design that harmonizes with the surrounding environment, and makes the installation easy

The projector's sophisticated design has a cable cover in which cables are hidden for a clean exterior appearance.

The bar type handles are designed to make moving and installing the projector easy so it can be handled safely. The ceiling mount is attached to these handles when you mount the projector on the ceiling. The projector does not need to be turned upside down so installation is easy. The initial settings can be easily set as you look at the screen because the control panel is located on the back of the projector.

Projector Features

Easy maintenance

You can replace the lamp by opening a cover and pulling it straight out of the back of the projector without using a screwdriver.

There is only one air filter so cleaning and replacement are easy. The lamp and air filter can be safely replaced even when mounted on the ceiling because their covers do not fall off even if you release them.

Positioning the Projector

If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to get a good-size image.

Use the figures below to help you determine placement. Image size increases with distance, but can vary depending on which lens you’re using and whether you’ve adjusted the image with zoom or any other settings.

Fixing a Tilted Image

If you’ve placed your projector on a table in front of the screen and the image is tilted as shown below, you can use the four adjustable feet to correct the tilt.

Useful Functions

This chapter explains useful tips for giving presentations, and the Security functions.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

There are two ways to correct distortion in projected images.

• Quick Corner This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the projected image separately. s p.35

We recommend using Quick Corner to accurately adjust keystone distortion.

• H/V-Keystone This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and vertical directions independently. You can perform easy H/V-Keystone corrections by using the [w/] [v/] [</] and [>/ ] buttons on the projector's control panel, as shown below.

Before performing horizontal or vertical keystone, use the lens shift function to horizontally center the lens and vertically move the lens to the top or bottom. Otherwise, the distortion is not corrected accurately.

The correction may not be properly performed for some zoom settings.

Because Quick Corner and H/V-Keystone correction can be carried out while projecting a test pattern, you do not need to make preparations by connecting a computer or other equipment.

These two methods cannot be used together. When the Keystone correction method is selected from the configuration menu, the correction method you choose is assigned to the [w/], [v/], [</ ], and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel. The default setting for Keystone is set to H/V-Keystone, so when [w/], [v/], [</], and [>/ ] buttons are pressed, H/V-Keystone correction is carried out.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

Correcting Distortion with Quick Corner

Procedure

A Press the Menu button, and then from the configuration

menu select Settings - Keystone.

Using the Remote Control Using the Control panel

B Select "Quick Corner", and then press the [Enter] button.

Press the [Enter] button again to display the selection screen from which you can select one of the four corners.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

C Use the [h] button on the remote control or the [w/],

[v/ ], [</ ], and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel to select the corner you want to adjust, and then press the [Enter] button.

D To adjust the shape, use the [h] button on the remote

control or the [w/ ], [v/ ], [</ ], and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel. When you finish adjusting the corner, press [Esc] or [Enter].

If the triangle in the direction you are adjusting the shape turns gray, as shown in the screen shot below, you cannot adjust the shape any further in that direction.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

E Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed to adjust any remaining

corners.

F When you are done, press the [Esc] button to exit the

correction menu.

Because the correction method was changed to Quick Corner from Keystone in the configuration menu, when [w/], [v/],

[</ ], and [>/ ] buttons are pressed later, the screen for selecting the corner in procedure 2 is displayed. Change Keystone from the configuration menu to H/V-Keystone if you want to correct H/V-Keystone when pressing the [w/], [v/], [</ ], and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel.

If the Esc button is held down for about two seconds while correcting with Quick Corner, the following screen is displayed.

Reset Quick Corner: Resets the result of Quick Corner corrections.

Switch to H/V-Keystone: Switches the correction method to H/V-Keystone.

Changing the Projected Image

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 to the target image You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input port.

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.

Correction Method

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

In some cases the brightness and color tone may not match completely even after correction.

Auto Iris does not work while this function is activated. Even if Auto Iris is set to On, and Multi-screen is set to On, Auto Iris does not work.

Summary of Correction Procedure

When multiple projectors are set up 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.48

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).

Procedure

A Press the [Menu] button and select Extended -

"Multi-screen" from the configuration menu.

B Select Lv. 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.

C Correct the brightness with Brightness Correct.

• When you select Lv. 5, all the images are adjusted to the darkest image from multiple projectors.

• When you select Lv. 1, all the images adjusted to the brightest image from multiple projectors.

• When you select Lv. 2 to 4, all the images are adjusted to the mid-range brightness image from multiple projectors.

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

Appendix

This chapter provides information on maintenance procedures to ensure the best level of performance from the projector for a long time to come.

Installation Methods

The projector can be mounted on a ceiling or placed on a desk. Also, this projector can project images to various places because it can project images vertically or horizontally at each 90° angle.

Warning:

• A special method of installation is required when installing the projector to project images downward (ceiling mount) or upward. If it is not installed correctly, it could fall and turnover 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.

• When mounting the projector on the ceiling, be sure to take measures to prevent it from falling such as passing a wire through the handles.

Caution:

Do not install the projector in any positions other than those shown in the following illustrations, and do not install the projector at any angles other than those shown in the illustration on s p.99. Do not use the projector upside down. Also, set the Direction properly in the configuration menu according to the angle of installation. s p.66

Using the projector at an improper angle or with the wrong configuration menu settings can cause malfunctions and shorten the operating life of optical parts.

The Projection setting can be changed from the configuration menu.

s p.66

• Suspend the projector from the ceiling and project images from in front of a screen.

• Project images from in front of a screen.

• Project images directly up • Project images directly down

• Suspend the projector from the

ceiling and project images from behind a translucent screen.

• Project images from behind a translucent screen.

An optional Ceiling mount is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling. s p.109

Installation Methods

Do not install the projector at any angles other than those shown in the following illustration.

When the projector is mounted, you can remove the projector’s feet and attach the foot covers, as shown below.

Cleaning

You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of projected images starts to deteriorate.

Warning:

Do not use sprays containing a flammable gas to remove dirt or dust which is adhering to parts such as the lens or filter of the projector. This could cause a fire due to the high temperature of lamps inside the unit.

Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Cleaning the Air filter

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is displayed or the Filter indicator is flashing green.

"Time to clean the air filter." "Clean or replace the air filter."

Caution:

• 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.

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.

Caution:

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

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

Caution:

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

• If the air filter is stained yellow with tobacco smoke, it cannot be cleaned. In this case, replace it with a new air filter. s p.107

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

• When using a brush for cleaning, use one with long soft bristles, and brush it lightly.

If it is brushed too strongly, dust will be ground into the air filter and cannot be removed.

Procedure

A Press the [t] power button on the remote control or the

back of the projector to turn off the projector's power. After the confirmation buzzer beeps twice, disconnect the power cable.
