User's Manual (detailed)
Instant Stack Guide
Thank you for purchasing this product.
Features
This projector can be used with another projector of the same model to project an
image on the same screen using the Instant Stack feature.
The two projectors can be operated simultaneously to make the image brighter.
Moreover, if you connect two projectors with RS-232C cross-over cable, it turns to
a kind of intellectual stacking system. The two projectors can work alternately by
themselves, and once one projector has an accident the other voluntarily starts to
work to keep your presentation going.
These features, generically called Instant Stack, provide you with the broad use.

1. Introduction
1.1 Basic information and preparations
Instant Stack
Instant Stack is a feature that allows you to superimpose images projected from
two projectors easily.
Intellectual Stack and Simple Stack
Instant Stack includes the following two features.
When two projectors are connected via an RS-232C cable with necessary settings performed on the projectors, these two projectors will automatically operate
in synchronization with each other according to the settings. This is known as
Intellectual Stack in this manual.
The two projectors operate individually without the RS-232C connection. This is
known as Simple Stack in this manual.
Remote control for Intellectual Stack and Simple Stack
For Intellectual Stack, one projector is set as Main and the other is set as Sub.
Only the Main projector is capable of receiving the remote control signals.
the projectors from the control panel of the Main projector or with the remote control
pointing at the Main projector. For details on operating by remote control and from the
control panel, refer to 3.7 Important Information for Intellectual Stack.
For Simple Stack, both projectors can receive the remote control signals. To avoid
incorrect operations with the remote control, it is recommended to operate both
projectors with the control panel or a wired remote control, or one projector with
the remote control and the other with the control panel or a wired remote control.
In this case, disable the remote control receiving on the other projector with the
KEY LOCK feature. (Operating Guide → OPTION menu)
Operate
WARNING ► Do not place projectors directly on top of other projectors.
CAUTION ► Place the projector in a cool place with sufcient ventilation.
Keep a space of 30 cm or more between a side of the projector and other
objects such as a wall. Keep a space of 100 cm or more between the two
projectors, especially if you are installing the projectors side by side. Take care
not to let the hot exhaust air from other projectors enter the intake vents of the
projector.

1.1 Basic information and preparations (continued)
Introduction
NOTICE ► Intellectual Stack can be operated only in pairs of the same model
projectors.
► A maximum of two projectors can be used as Intellectual Stack.
► Depending on the installation and surrounding environment, images
projected from the two projectors may not superimpose well enough. The
images cannot superimpose well enough especially when the screen is slanted,
deformed or the surface is uneven.
• Images projected immediately after turning on the projectors are unstable due
to rising internal temperature. Wait for more than 20 minutes before starting
to adjust the superimposed images.
• The image positions may shift due to temperature change, vibration, or shock
caused by hitting the projector. Install the projectors in a stable environment
when using Instant Stack. If the image positions are shifted, readjust the
images. (
6, 8, 11
)
• The image positions may shift over time due to the tension and the weight of
the connecting cables. Make sure not to impose any load on the projectors
when arranging the cables.
• If the volume level of the built-in speakers is too high, noise may occur and
the image quality may deteriorate. In this case, check the volume setting on
both projectors.
• When two projectors are connected using the RS-232C cable, the Main
projector will be able to control the Sub projector. This feature is known as
Intellectual Stack. (
8
) When Intellectual Stack by means of RS-232C
feature is used, RS-232C communication cannot be used to control the
projector. If you wish to control the projectors from a computer, use the LAN
connection that is connected to any of the projectors.
• When Intellectual Stack is used, the operations or settings of some functions
are restricted. Refer to this manual for details. (

2. Installation
For safety reasons, read 1.1 Basic information and preparations (
before installation. In addition, take note of the followings for proper use of Instant
Stack.
● When using Intellectual Stack, both projectors will respond to the remote control
signals until STACK MODE on either projector is set to SUB.
If you control one projector with the remote control during installation, it is
recommended to operate the other with the control panel or a wired remote
control. In this case, disable the remote control receiving on the other projector
with the KEY LOCK feature. (
● Images from Set A and Set B may superimpose well but the image positions
can shift over time.
Readjust to superimpose the images.

2.1 Preparing for Intellectual Stack
When using Intellectual Stack via RS-232C connection, ensure the following settings are set on the two projectors. Otherwise, the Intellectual Stack menu cannot
be operated.
● STANDBY MODE in SETUP menu: NORMAL
(
Operating Guide → SETUP menu)
● COMMUNICATION TYPE under COMMUNICATION in SERVICE menu: OFF
(
Operating Guide → OPTION menu)
● STACK LOCK in SECURITY menu: OFF
When STACK LOCK is set to on, menus related to Instant Stack cannot be
operated. It is therefore necessary to set it to off during installation and menu
setting.
(1) Use the ▲/▼/◄/► buttons to go into the following menu.
ADVANCED MENU > SECURITY
> STACK LOCK
STACK LOCK dialog will appear on screen. (
Guide → SECURITY menu)
(2) Use the ▲/▼ buttons to highlight OFF, and press the ► button to complete
the setting.

2.3 Installing the second projector (Set B)
Deciding installation position
Decide the position of Set B and its projection angle. (User’s Manual (concise)
→ Arrangement and Adjusting the projector’s elevator)
WARNING ►
Only for CP-X8160, CP-WX8255 and CP-WU8450, it is possible
to install the projector for any direction with specied mounting accessories.
Consult with your dealer about such a special installation.
NOTE • Set the tilt angle of Set B to within 9 degrees from the level line.
Connecting projectors
To use Intellectual Stack, connect an RS-232C cross cable between the
CONTROL port of Set A and Set B.
Setting up Set B
1. Turn on Set B.
NOTE • After turning on Set B, make sure the image of Set B is not
signicantly tilted compared to the image of Set A. If the image is overly
tilted, rotate the elevator feet of Set B to adjust the angle such that the tilt is
just about right.
2. Reset the adjustment of KEYSTONE and PERFECT FIT on Set B.
(Operating Guide → EASY MENU or SETUP menu)
NOTE • KEYSTONE cannot be operated when PERFECT FIT is in use. To
reset both functions, reset PERFECT FIT rst.
• Perform the INSTALLATION setting rst if necessary as it may change the
image position. (

3. Adjust the image size and position of Set B with the ZOOM, FOCUS and
LENS SHIFT features such that the image can be superimposed well to the
image of Set A. (Operating Guide → Adjusting the lens)
NOTE • Fine adjustment of the image size and position thereafter with
functions such as KEYSTONE and PERFECT FIT does not increase the
image size. It is therefore important to have the image of Set B completely
overlapping the image of Set A.
•
When controlling Set B with the remote control, Set A may also respond to the
remote control. It is recommended to control Set B with the control panel on Set B.
• If you are using Simple Stack, go to For Simple Stack users. (
