• To turn off the power, use the POWER switch - of the unit, the RS-232C control, or wired remote control (optional). (If turned
off using the main POWER switch or by disconnecting the power cable from the outlet, the settings of the above 7 to -
switches and the state of the TV SYSTEM and convergence memory will not be recorded on the memory.)
Consequently when starting up or stopping the whole system by AC ON/OFF in setup conditions for a demonstration, it is
necessary to turn off the power using the above method to record each setting in the memory.
*: Counts only when the power is ON and signal has been input to the input function selected. If the main POWER switch is
turned off or the power cable is pulled out of the outlet while the power is on before one hour has passed, errors will occur
Open from the big ones first and put the small packagings inside the empty big packagings. Also dispose or store the
packagings.
Do not mix up the opened items with those still in the packaging.
Move the empty packagings somewhere else so that they will not come in the way. Next, obtain an assembly space that is as
wide as possible.
* Turn down the opened packagings upside down to differentiate them from those not opened.
Do not lose accessories, the warranty card, etc.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(2) Assembling the System
The basic procedure for assembling the system is as follows.
1Assemble the projection stand (RM-V112/RMA-V5010).
2Mount a one-link mount unit . (40-inch only)
3Assemble the projection frame (RMF-V4011/V5011).
4Mount the multi-projection unit (RM-V4000V/V5000V).
5Mount the projection screen kit (RMS-V4011/V5011).
6Mount the top board , side board , rear panel.
The basic procedure for assembling the system for rental-use is as follows.
1Assemble the projection stand (RM-V112).
2Mount the 2-link/3-link mount unit (RMA-V2050/V2060).
3'Mount the multi-projection unit (RM-V4000V) to the projection cabinet (RMF-V4011R).
4'Mount the projection cabinet (RMF-V4011R).
The above procedure is recommended. It is explained below.
1 Projection Install Tables (RM-V112/RMA-V5010)
Place the installation tables (RM-V112) at the specified position and link them together with the bolts and nuts specified.
First tighten the bolts and nuts temporarily, and after all have been linked, check their height differences and if they are
horizontal before tightening the nuts and bolts firmly.
Do not tighten the adjusters at the legs as their final positions have to be adjusted after assembling all units.
To install at a height greater than the installation table when not using this table, make sure the strength is greater than
required.
2 Mount Unit (RMA-V2050/V2060)
Place the mount unit on the stand and join them using the specified bolts and nuts.
As the horizontality, difference in level, etc. of the mount units form the basis of the whole system assembled, assemble them
accurately.
If gaps are formed between the mount unit and the stand due to the difference in height, use the floor leveler of the stand to
adjust the height, or place spacers between the mount unit and stand (metal plates about 1 to 2 mm thick).
When using several mount units, adjust their height, horizontality, etc.
In the case of the system for rental-use, mount the conventional mount units (RMA-V2050/V2060) using the conventional
method. For details, refer to the RM-V2000A technical manual.

(Fig. 3-27)
* This part is used to shield the light leaking from the big hole (ø 8) on the outermost side of the left and bottom projection
units (diagonally shaded part in Fig. 3-28) after installing the system. Use it if necessary.
Screen units with this rivet cannot be attached outside the area indicated by the standing lines in fig. 3-28.
(It will not connect to the adjoining units.)
(Fig. 3-28)
<Note>
• Do not mistake the top and bottom of the screen unit. The side with the longer screw projecting out (side with transportation
screw) is the top and the side with the 8 mm hole is the bottom.
• Before mounting the screen unit to the cabinet, check that the transportation screw, protection panel, and black tape have
been removed. (Do not remove the protection panel on the outer-most side when installing the system.)
• Always tighten the linking bolts of the cabinet and screen unit with your hands, and tighten them as firmly as possible.
• Put on gloves when stacking the screen units for protection and perform in twos.
• To prevent the lenticular sheet from damage, mount the screen unit gently and do not subject it to vibration and shock.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
5. SPECIAL INSTALLATION
(1) Wall inset
• If removing the screen after installing the system, the person must go behind the screen (diagonally shaded part of the
figure). Therefore when insetting the unit in the wall, careful take this into account before installation.
Screen
• When fixing the screen into the wall, space for placing your hand inside the wall at the top, bottom, right, and left will be
required in addition to the above in order to attach and remove the screen.
(2) Diagonal installation
• This system cannot be placed facing upwards or downwards and diagonally. Always place it horizontally.
However, Multiprojection unit (RM-V4000V/V5000V) alone can be tilted at the top, bottom, left, and right up to 90 deg.
Installation of special order screens and cabinets should also become possible in the near future.
(3) Architrave processing
• When enclosing the screen with a frame, etc., add 15 mm to the dimensions of the assembled screen at the top, bottom, left,
and right.
* Perform framing constructions after assembling the screen.

CHAPTER 4. ADJUSTMENTS
1. ADJUSTMENT PREPARATIONS
(1) Wiring
1 Connection of Power Supply
• The power supply can be connected to up to 3 units in a series using the AC outlets of Multi projection units. Connect the
three units as one system to the external outlet.
• The AC plug of Multi projection unit is a 3P with a ground pin. When connecting it to a normal outlet, use an exclusive 3P AC
adapter.
• The AC plug of Multi projection unit is a 3P with a ground pin. To prevent electric shocks, connect the ground pin to the
ground when connecting the power supply.
2 Connection of signal cable
• Use coaxial cables. Normally, if less than 15m, use 3C-2V. If less than 30m, use 5C-2V.
The signal transmission equipment and Multi projection units should be as close as possible to each other.
3 Connection of ABL link cable
• By connecting the ABL link cables in cascade form, control signals (RS-232C, remote control signal) can be transmitted to all
the units.

(2) Wiring Handling
• Except for short-term installations such as events, etc., in normal long-term installations, adjust the length of the wiring
appropriately taking into consideration the overall route to be wired.
• Make sure the connection terminals are not subjected to direct weight and force. Tie the wires up in short-term use and bind
them up properly in long-term use.
(3) Aging
• After turning on the power, input the 100% white signal or moving images, and perform aging until Multi projection unit
stabilizes (about 1 hour). If adjustments are performed without performing aging, as Multi projection unit will warm up and
stabilize, convergence and white balance will become incorrect.
54
ADJUSTMENTS
When TV SYSTEM=AUTO
<VIDEO, Y/C Input)
• Selects the convergence memory from MEMORY-1 or MEMORY-2 automatically according to the signals input (NTSC/PAL).
<RGB Input>
• Automatically selects the convergence memory as follows.
For NTSC input:MEMORY 1
For PAL input:MEMORY 2
Horizontal frequency 20 kHz to 28 kHz input:MEMORY 3
Horizontal frequency 28 kHz to 35 kHz input :MEMORY 4
When TV SYSTEM=NTSC
• The convergence memory is always set to MEMORY 1 regardless of the input signal.
When TV SYSTEM=PAL
• The convergence memory is always set to MEMORY 2 regardless of the input signal.
In standard settings, MEMORIES 1 to 4 are selected as described above, but MEMORIES 5 to 7 can be selected if preset using
the remote control or commands of the Personal Computer.
When the input signal is NTSC only or PAL only, by setting the TV SYSTEM to NTSC or PAL, smooth input switching (no
image distortion) will be possible.
Normally, no problems will be encountered with the above method. But if two or more types of signals are input to the same
input function, convergence adjustment has to be performed according to the respective input source. (For example, when
there is signal phase difference in each input source, when connecting several PCs and switching from outside, etc.). In such
cases, use convergence adjustment memories 5 to 7 (MANUAL 1 to 3). The 5 to 7 convergence adjustment memories can be
switched from outside using the Personal Computer.
Finally, examples of main uses by the system of these units are provided below.
For details of how to set the convergence memory (specific example), refer to ”3. Examples of Main Uses of Cube System”.
57
ADJUSTMENTS
(3) White Balance Adjustment Memory
ADJUSTMENTS has altogether six white balance adjustment memories.
Color mode 1 (Normal)
Color mode 2 (Re-expose)
Four memories can be actually adjusted except the factory shipment memory. The factory shipment memory contains the
normal white balance adjustment data and re-expose white balance adjustment data.
By setting to color mode 1 using the rear panel switch, etc., the white balance adjustment data can be switched by synchroniz-
ing with input switching. This is the same for color mode 2. If it is necessary to change color modes 1 and 2 using the input
function, connect the PC and switch each time it is necessary.

(4) Combined Use of Remote Control and Personal Computer
Although it is possible to connect both the remote control (RU-V107) and Personal Computer, adjustments cannot be per-
formed using both at the same time.
Remote control, Personal Computer commands and rear panel switches operated the latest are given priority. When the
adjustment mode is set by the Personal Computer while adjusting with the remote control, the adjustment mode will be set by
the Personal Computer, disabling adjustments to be performed using the remote control. If the adjustment mode is set by the
remote control using adjustments by the Personal Computer, adjustments by the Personal Computer will be disabled. Fur-
thermore, if the rear panel switches are operated when the adjustment mode is set by the remote control or Personal Com-
puter, the adjustment mode is exited and the rear panel switches operations are started.
(5) Memory of Adjustment Data and Settings
When adjustments are ended in the adjustment mode such as convergence, white balance, etc., always exit the adjustment
mode (AJN for Personal Computer, ADJ OUT key for remote control). If the power is turned off (AC OFF) without exiting the
adjustment mode, a part of the adjustment data will not be preserved in the memory.
The input function, MULTI ON/OFF (peripheral light amount switching), COMBINATION ON/OFF (ABL link switching), COLOR
MODE 1/2 (white balance switching), TV SYSTEM setting, and convergence memory state setting will be preserved in the
memory only when the power is turned off using the remote control, command of a Personal Computer (POF) or the rear
panel tact switch. The AC ON/OFF will not allow data to be preserved in the memory.)
When starting or stopping the system by AC ON/OFF in an installation condition for demonstration, use this method to
preserve the conditions in the memory first.

ADJUSTMENTS
(6) Giving IDs
When several Multi projection units are used to compose the 9 screens or 16 screens (multi-screen), the ID is used to differen-
tiate between Multi projection units. When the units are given IDs, by connecting the ABL link cable, commands can be
transmitted by specifying the ID, and it is possible to operate only Multi projection unit corresponding to that ID by remote
control operations.
<Giving IDs using Personal Computer>
Commands: IDC (IDC CLEAR);Clears the ID given
IDS (ID SET);Gives an ID
The IDS is valid only when no ID has been given. It will be valid from units nearest to the personal
computer (remote control).

By sending commands in this order, IDs can be given to each Multi Projection Unit.
The characters that can be used for the IDs are 0 to 9 and A to F, and * (capital and small letters are not differentiated).
The * can be used in the following way.
**IDC:Clears IDs given to all units
*1AJY:Only units which have IDs whose 2nd digit is 1 enter the adjustment mode.
2*IN1:The input function of only units which have IDs whose 1st digit is 2 is set to VIDEO.

(1) Adjustment Flowchart
The following shows the order for performing the adjustments generally required in the setup of the multi-projection system.
For details, see the descriptions on the next page and later.
1 Give ID
↓
2 Adjust the size of each screen
↓
3 Adjust the convergence of each screen
↓
4 Adjust the joining of the screens
(Adjust with the multi-video processor)
↓
5 Check that there is no information missing and color deviation on the moving image.
If information is missing or color has deviated, return to 2 and readjust.
↓
6 Adjust the white balance of each screen.
↓
7 Adjust the ABL level
↓
8 Check the ABL level and white balance using the video actually transmitted.
If there is deviation, return to 6 and readjust
↓
9 Adjust the color tone using the video actually transmitted.

(3) Convergence Adjustment Contents
1 Measurement of screen center
The center can be found easily by pasting threads in the
spaces of the protection panels at the screen frame.
The & numbers correspond to the numbers in the flow-
chart.
2 Adjustment signal input
For adjusting size...Monoscope, etc.(EX.LD Test disc GGV1013, FRAME NO. 18001)
For screen joining, linearity, color adjustment...Use adjustment signals such as , cross-hatch, etc.
(EX.LD Test disc GGV1013, FRAME NO. 14401)
If signals are created in the multi video processor, use them.
For RGB inputs, generate the adjustment signals conforming to the above using the models actually used (PC, etc.), and check
them via the expander actually used.
Note
Depending on the user memory used, the image may
become distorted as shown in the figure on the right.
In this case, before adjusting the center, adjust H BLK R
and H BLK L first.
Marked color deviation

ADJUSTMENTS
3,4,7 center adjustment
Set to only green and adjust the center with V PHASE
H PHASE .
When MULTI ON, as V PHASE does not
move, adjust it at the splitter side.
If not possible, adjust with V STATIC
NOTE
Do not adjust the center using convergence such as
GH STATIC GV STATIC
Green POINT CONVER MODE , etc.
Considerable load will be imposed on the adjustment
circuit, causing malfunctions.

MULTI ON)

The center adjustment by H PHASE V PHASE adjusts the timing for displaying video signals and therefore current is not
supplied to the deflection york.
Current is on the other hand supplied to the convergence york in the center adjustment by convergence such as GH STATIC
GV STATIC GREEN POINT CONVER MODE , etc. and therefore imposes load on the circuit.
68
Current is also supplied to the vertical deflection york with
V STATIC . If supplied excessively, distortion will occur as
shown in the right figure.
No distortion occurs in adjustments by V PHASE .

Explanation of H BLK L and H BLK R Adjustments
H BLK L and H BLK R adjustments are performed to obtain the optimum convergence adjustment wave form when the
display range changes due to changes in the H SIZE and frequency.
