1.2.5.1.2. Cautions for screen
Because 8800”” screens are large and heavy, the screens should be held carefully.

• To prevent the screen from damage or breakage, carry the

screen by two or more people.

• Hold the short sides of the screen frame or the corners

when picking up the screen. Holding the center of the long
sides of the frame (between labels) may damage the
screen edge due to its heavy weight.

• Do not lay the screen with face up on the floor or table. The screen frames may not support

the heavy and large screen surface.

REV 2.5

1.2.5.2. Assembling the base stands and cubes

Note:

• Combining many cubes may accumulate the tolerance of screen sizes, which causes

difficulty to keep appropriate screen gaps (in chapter 1.2.5.3, on page 13). In such cases,
especially horizontally long display walls, it is recommended to insert spacers between cube
cabinets at any given distance preliminarily.

1. Assemble base stands.

2. Adjust level adjusters to make the base stand both

level and plumb by means of a spirit level.

1.2.6.4. Assembling base stands and cubes

Note:

• Combining many cubes may accumulate the tolerance of screen sizes, which causes

difficulty to keep appropriate screen gaps (in chapter 1.2.6.5, on page 21). In such cases,
especially horizontally long display walls, it is recommended to insert spacers between cube
cabinets at any given distance preliminarily.

1. Assemble base stands.

2. Adjust level adjusters to make the base stand both level and

plumb by means of a spirit level.

2.1.3. Auto-lamp changing function (for CChhaannggeerr )

CChhaannggeer

r is equipped with the auto-lamp changing function that can detect a lamp failure or a

brightness deterioration to swap it for a spare lamp automatically.
The lamp is managed as three types of status, “NEW”, “USED” and “JUNK”. It is displayed on
screen by [DISPLAY] button.

• NEW: New or not-deteriorated lamp

• USED: Deteriorated lamp below the threshold set in CHANGE MODE menu (chapter

1.5.1.18.2, on page 45)

• JUNK: Failed lamp
5 minutes after the auto-lamp changing, the lamp can be automatically adjusted to the suitable
position to maximize the brightness (chapter 2.1.3.4, on page 81), and the initial brightness is
automatically read. If you turn off the power during the auto-lamp changing, the initial value will
be read in the same way when you will turn on again.

2.1.3.1. Action in lamp failure (burnout or explosion)

When a lamp failure is detected, the lamp is automatically swapped for a spare lamp.

1. When it detects a lamp failure, the lamp status is automatically recognized as “JUNK” and
memorized in the lamp memory.

2. If the spare lamp status is “NEW” or “USED”, the auto-lamp changing starts. “☀” mark starts
blinking on the screen to induce to replace the spare lamp (chapter 2.1.3.5, on page 82).

3. If the spare lamp status is “JUNK”, the product tries to ignite the current lamp once without
auto-lamp changing. If it succeeds to ignite, it continues to work. Otherwise, the error
indicator shows “1.” (chapter 3.5, on page 93).
Even if the status is “JUNK”, in the case that you have cycled the power during this status,
the auto-lamp changing starts. If it succeeds to ignite, it continues to work. Otherwise, the
error indicator shows “1.”.

2.1.3.2. Action in brightness deterioration

When the luminous sensor detects a brightness deterioration, the lamp is automatically swapped
for a spare lamp.

1. When the luminous sensor detects brightness deterioration, the lamp status is automatically
recognized as “USED” and memorized in the lamp memory.

2. If the spare lamp status is “NEW”, the pre-announcement of auto-lamp changing is displayed
on screen and the auto-lamp changing starts 5 minutes later. “☀” mark starts blinking on the
screen to induce to replace the spare lamp (chapter 2.1.3.5, on page 82).

3. If the spare lamp status is “USED” or “JUNK”, the current lamp is not swapped to keep
lighting.

In CHANGE MODE menu (chapter 1.5.1.18.2, on page 45), you can set the brightness to start
the auto-lamp changing. There are three types of condition, 50% of initial brightness (NORMAL),
30% of initial brightness (LONG) or no swap due to brightness deterioration (OFF). The initial
setting is NORMAL.

CChhaannggeer

r has a function that can automatically adjust a lamp to the suitable position to maximize

the brightness, which is performed 5 minutes after the lamp swap.
Once calibrated, the result is automatically saved in the optical unit and it will not be re-calibrated
until the next swap is detected.
For instance, it calibrates 5 minutes after lighting a lamp that is different from a previous one, or 5
minutes after the auto-lamp changing. If you turn on the power to ignite the same lamp, the auto
calibration will not be performed since the lamp position is automatically set according to the
memorized result.

status is “USED”, “JUNK” or no attaching). It blinks once in 5 seconds.
The mark will disappear when the spare lamp is replaced to “NEW”
(new or not-deteriorated lamp). Even if the spare lamp status is not
“NEW”, you can erase the indication by resetting the spare lamp
operating time (on page 79).

[Pre-announcement of auto-lamp changing]
The message appears when brightness deterioration is detected. The
auto-lamp changing starts after 5-minute displaying.

Note:

• With VC-B20KA, the front porch width in an input signal is required more than 12 pixels.

• Because the following pairs of signals have the same scanning frequencies, their signal formats

may be selected incorrectly in automatic input signal scanning. When the selected signal format
is wrong, the signal won’t be displayed with correct colors. In such cases, executes automatic
input signal scanning (chapter 1.7.3, on page 59) again to reselect other signal formats.
