CHAPTER 1. FEATURES
FEATURES
1. FEATURES OF THE MULTI PROJECTION UNIT
(hereinafter referred to as the “MPJ”)
Thin, space-saving design (75 cm deep), and installable flush against the wall (when stacked in two levels in
a 4-screen configuration, etc.)
Split structure for easy carrying and assembly
The structure is split by screen, making it easy to carry and assemble the system.
Excellent features with a reasonable price
Can be stacked in up to three levels
Under 2 meters high when stacked in two levels, allowing installation in stores with low ceilings
Improved adjustment procedures
• Uniform, simplified ABL level adjustment using ABL control voltage indication.
• Lists of main deviation and white balance adjustment values can be displayed when performing adjustments with the remote control unit, making it simple to check adjustment values and compare with other screens.
Variety of screens available
1. Screw width approx. 4mm (RM-V2550S)
2. Screw width 1mm (RM-V2550S2)
Usable in bright places
High screen brightness (420 ft-L), allowing use in lobbies exposed to external light and bright offices.
Full of functions for providing high picture quality with enlarged images and a strong sense of picture unifor-
mity
• Though the peripheral brightness is sufficient for multi-screen images, a “multi” function is also included for activating a peripheral light compensation circuit and achieving enlarged pictures with even more uniform brightness. There is also a function for achieving the optimum contour compensation level with enlarged images, thereby providing natural, high quality enlarged pictures.
• An auto white balance function and ABL (Auto Brightness Limiter) linking function suppress differences in colors and brightness on the different screens.
Convergence memory function
Up to three sets of adjustment data in addition to the standard factory default settings can be stored in the memory.

Page 16
FEATURES
“Color mode selection function” for convenient camera reshooting
The MPJ is equipped with a “color mode selection function” allowing the selection of two white balance data settings. When used for example in a broadcast station’s studio for reshooting, the colors will be unnatural if a camera suited to the brightness in the studio is used, but if one color temperature is set to 4500°K, natural colors can be reproduced at the touch of a button.
On-screen display function
Adjustment values and various settings can be displayed on the screen.
External control function
The MPJ is equipped with an RS-232C external control terminal. This makes it possible to use a computer to perform the various adjustments, and provides possibilities for various types of visual presentations. Trans­fer of control signals to the individual multi projection units is possible in daisy chain format by connecting the combination terminals using interconnection control cables (DIN 6-pin connectors, included). No compli­cated connections are necessary. The multi projection units can be assigned ID numbers and still be adjusted individually after the system is expanded.
Dual NTSC/PAL compatibility
The individual multi projection units display high quality pictures with either NTSC or PAL inputs.
Wired remote control unit (RU-V107, sold separately) available for adjustments
The wired remote control unit can be used for adjusting the convergence, white balance and other settings while watching the picture from the front when setting up the multi picture system.
2. FEATURES OF THE MULTI VIDEO PROCESSOR
(hereinafter referred to as the “MVP”)
Multi video processor for 4-screen enlarged images
Compact, space-saving design
Adjustment remote control unit/computer relay function considering system installation
Expandable through the addition of an option board (one)
3. FEATURES OF THE PROJECTION STAND
(hereinafter referred to as the “Stand”)
EIAJ rack mount function
Casters for easy moving
Built-in adjuster for level adjustment

CHAPTER 3. INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
1. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS
(1) Weight-tolerant
The ground must be flat and horizontal. It should be able to bear the weight of the system. For wooden floors, if the part receiving the weight of the system lies at the center between the reinforcement beams below the floor, the floor may become deformed or may curve inwards. Moreover, in the case of a carpet etc., the part bearing the load may sink with time, meaning that the horizontal balance of the system may shift out of place after installation. In such cases, lay a more than 12 mm thick board below the system to distribute the weight of the system on the floor. For concrete floors, it may not be possible to install the system horizontally due to the roughness of the floor. In such cases, do the same as above.
(2) Ceiling height
Reserve a headroom of at least about 10 cm (4 inches) between the top of the system and the ceiling. If an air
conditioner outlet or illumination lamp is located above the system, use special care to prevent troubles due to dust, temperature, humidity and dew condensation. In case the system is covered by interior furnishings, be sure to take measures to ventilate Floor leveler tends to pool above the top of the system. Otherwise troubles may result.
(3) Front space
Finger and hand prints form easily on the face of the screen. Therefore make sure viewers cannot touch it
directly. Leave workspace in front for replacing the screen.
(4) Rear space
The system can be installed up against the wall when the projection units are stacked in two stages. When
they are stacked in three stages, reserve a rear clearance of at least 5 cm (2 inches). However, remember that a space of at least 50 cm (20 inches) is required in the maintenance operation and install the system by taking later maintenance in consideration.
(5) Stacking stages
The projection units can be stacked in up to three stages.
They cannot be stacked in four stages or more.
Otherwise troubles may result in relation with the cabinet strength or stagnation of heat.
Up to 4 columns of RM-V2550S2 screens can be placed in a row.
(Maximum number of screens is thus 12 [3 x 4])

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(6) Installation work to prevent toppling
Make sure that you carry out the following work after installing the system in order to prevent toppling etc.
1 Lower all of the floor levelers until the system comes into contact with the floor. 2 Anchor the system to the floor. 3 Fix the system to the wall etc. using wires etc., following the points in the diagram below.
NOTE) 1. Always use wires etc. that are a little stronger than necessary.
2. Always use the points designated in the diagram below for attaching the wires etc. Do not use other holes, since they are not strong enough and their surroundings may be damaged.
The method for fixing the system to the floor or wall depends on the material that the floor or wall is made of.
You should get a specialist contractor or your dealer to do this work.
Make sure that you read the section ‘Fixation using anchors ’ on P74.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(7) Heat value calculation
In the calculation, assume that the maximum power consumption per multi-projection unit is 300 W by re-
serving a certain headroom. As most of the consumed power becomes heat, the power consumption can be regarded to be proportional with the calorific value.
1 Conversion into calorific value (kcal/h)
[W] x 0.86 = [kcal/h]
Calorific value per multi-projection unit
300 x 0.86 = 258 (kcal/h)
2 Conversion into British thermal unit
[W] x 3.41 = [B.t.u./h]
Calorific value per multi-projection unit
300 x 3.41 = 1023 (B.t.u./h)
Projection units Calorie (kcal/h) British (B.t.u./h)
1 screen 258 1023
4 screens 1032 4092
9 screens 2322 9207
(8) Temperature and humidity conditions
Closely observe the following conditions on the temperature and humidity of the location of installation.
(1)Operating temperature : 5 to 35 degC (No condensation) (2)Operating humidity : 20 % to 80 % (3)Storing temperature : –10 to 45 degC
The lenticular sheet will stretch and consequently the center of the screen will rise if the humidity is relatively
high. In this case, the focus may slightly change and therefore readjustments in the installing conditions of the location must be performed when your system arrives.
Avoid wetting the system at all times. Due to the shape of the product, it is easily affected by external condi-
tions. Especially to be avoided is wetting the MPJ and screen. Thorough water-proof measures must be taken when installing them in locations where there is a high level of moisture in the air such as near air-condition­ing vents and water sprays. * Take note that in new buildings, moisture is frequently produced from the concrete and the humidity level
subsequently rises.
Electrical equipment such as this system should not be installed in high humidity environments. Follow the
precautions below when high humidity is expected.
• Never install the MPJ and screen in locations that do not meet their respective specifications.
• Ground the units.
• Ensure that there is no condensation.
• Install the units where no one can touch them.
• Ensure that water droplets do not fall onto the units.
(9) Condensation
One problem that occurs in the winter season is “Condensation”. When the temperature of the room in which this system is installed rises suddenly, condensation occurs on the screen and lens, thereby the system cannot display its best performance. In such cases, turn off the power once, leave the system off for one hour, and turn on the power again. Increasing the room temperature gradually is another method.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(11) Lighting
Projection screens do not reflect external light like the CRT, but the screens and their base materials may still
cause reflection if strong light of a spotlight, etc. is directly incident to them. In such a case, prevent the illumination lighting from hitting the screen surfaces directly.
Glass plates for safety protection purpose may sometimes have to be attached on the screen surfaces de-
pending on their installation location. In this case, examine the installation positions carefully so that the front glass plates do not reflect the external light.
As the actual intended images of the system may not be obtained in very bright locations, consider the
position of lighting and direction of sunlight when installing the system. Especially when the system is ex­posed to direct light (sunlight, etc.) from behind, the light may be reflected on the screen. Avoid such instal­lations.
Take note that in bright places, images may appear dark even when the luminance has been increased. In
addition, increasing the luminance and contrast more than required may affect the life of the system (espe­cially the CRT).
(12) Effects of earth magnetism
Due to effects of earth magnetism, the position of the image displayed will differ according to the installed
direction. Difference is about several mm in the up/down/left/right directions, but the degree of change varies according to the strength of the earth magnetism of each area. Misconvergence may also occur due to slight rotations. Thus, when performing adjustments before moving the set to the place where it is to be installed, do so in the same direction as the direction of installation, then readjust in the final position of installation.
Normally perform adjustments in the final position of installation.The system is not only affected by earth magnetism but by the following magnetisms generated by various
items in its surrounding as well.
• Steel frame of building
• Power cables on the floor
• Large speaker systems
• Special equipment (Those generating magnetic force)
• Metallic installation table, frames, etc.
(13) Backyard ventilation
A temperature difference between the front and back of the screen may occur for any of a number of reasons, such as an increase in the internal temperature of the system or a change in the effectiveness of air conditioning. When such a temperature difference occurs, air will try to flow in order to equalize the temperatures. If there is no path for the air to follow between the area in front of the screen and the backyard area then the screen may warp. You should make sure that there are paths in the backyard and in front of and behind the screen that will allow ventilation. You should take particular care if the backyard is a closed room with no windows and powerful air conditioning is installed.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(14) Power supply
1 Power supply voltage
The guaranteed voltage of this system is ±10% of the rated voltage. But if the impedance of the power wires is high, the voltage waveform will become distorted and show the same symptoms as when voltage drops abnormally. As the following must be noted even if the voltage is within the allowable range, check the power wiring again.
The voltage drop from the switchboard to this system is great.The voltage changes greatly when the power of the system is turned on and off (Roughly 5% of the rated
voltage)
2 Power supply capacity
When calculating the capacity, assume that the maximum power consumption per multi-projection unit is 400 VA by reserving a certain headroom.

The current increases as the voltage drops. Design the power supply by reserving a headroom by referring to the connection description in 3 below. When a single power line (same power distribution panel) is used to power another system, be careful not to exceeds the power distribution capacity by taking the power consump­tion of the other system in consideration.
3 Connection
Each multi-projection unit has an AC OUTLET connector, which can accept the connection of up to 2 multi-
projection units in addition to the first multi-projection unit. Do not connect other equipment than multi­projection units to the AC OUTLET.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
4 3-pin plug
The power cord of the system has a 3-pin plug. This design aims at preventing electric shock due to leaked current. Be always sure to connect the power plug into a 3-pole power outlet.
5 Ground-fault circuit interrupter
The system incorporates a power line filter for noise prevention and leaked current of 0.5 mA flows per multi­projection unit. If your power supply system uses a ground-fault circuit interrupter, check its sensitive current and make sure that it is above the total current leakage of the system. Also count in the current leakage of other equipment than the video output equipment assuming that the leaked current of each piece of equipment is 0.5 mA. Within Japan, the current is generally 15A~20A per circuit. It is thus imperative that you route the power supply through a breaker. To prevent voltage dropping, current waveform degradation and noise induction in the middle of the circuit, always supply power directly from the power distribution panel. Do not use an existing wall outlet etc. to supply power as this is extremely dangerous. It is extremely dangerous to supply power from existing wall outlets, etc. Install the system near the outlet for connecting the units of the system as much as possible. Set the current capacity slightly greater-about more than 25% of the total consumption power.
(15) Cables used
Use a coaxial cable for the external input cable. Normally use a 3C-2V for less than 15m long. Use 5C-2V for greater lengths. Adjust the length of the cables. The distance between the transmission system and MPJ should be as short as possible. When the distance is great, consider the thickness of the cable and electrical compensa­tion carefully.
The limit is as shown when using the cables to connect the transmission final output terminal and the system.
3C-2V: 15m 5C-2V: 30m
To use a longer cable, the VIDEO signal must be corrected.
NOTE) To install the system up against the wall, use L-shaped BNC conversion adapters.
(16) Semi-outdoor installation
This system is basically designed for use indoors. When the system is installed in semi-outdoor locations, the following problems may occur. Take the following measures before using the system.
• Waterproof and rustproof measures
• Temperature difference and humidity difference
• Light on the screen (So that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.)
• Wind containing salt
(17) Caution for use of user-prepared parts
We basically recommend that the user uses the projection stands manufactured and recommended by us. However, if you want to prepare them by yourself, use care in the following point. Install the stands so that the system is maintained level. Be sure to calculate the floor strength and take
sufficient measures to prevent the system from tumbling down. When not using a Pioneer-recommended stand, Pioneer will accept no responsibility for accidents or damage due to improper installation or mounting or to natural disasters.

Be careful not block these vents. Otherwise heat will be stagnated inside the system and may result in a fire hazard. When the system is used in a 2-stage configuration or is installed up against the wall, reserve spaces of at least 10 cm (4 inches) to the left and right sides of the system. When it is used in a 3-stage configuration, also make sure that there is a clearance of at least 5cm (2 inches) between the rear panel and wall and at least 10 cm (4 inches) on the sides. [Fig. 3-1-9] (With these conditions, it is assumed that there is a space of at least 10cm between the system and the ceiling.)

[1] Begin with unpacking the largest carton. place smaller cartons in the vacant carton of the larger items, and
dispose of the packing material while unpacking the cartons. After unpacking, arrange the items in order of assembly to facilitate the later assembly operation. Move the vacant cartons to another place so that they do not come in the way of assembly, and reserve as wide a space as possible for the assembly. * By placing opened cartons upside down, they can easily be distinguished from non-opened cartons.
Manage the accessories, warranty cards, etc. so as not to lose them.
[2] The cabinet is designed with a structure that is easy to tumble down. It should be unpacked in as close as
possible location to the system installation position. The under-carton can be used to prevent the cabinet from tumbling down because will not tumble down in that location. After unpacking the cabinet from the under-carton, immediately place the cabinet on the stand (when a stand is used) and fix using bolts.

(3) Carrying the units after opening packaging
1 Screen
To carry the screen unit after opening the packaging, hold them by the parts shown in the figure, and lift and move them.
(RM-V2550S,RM-V2550S2)
(Lifted by one or two persons)
Hold the parts indicated by
[Fig. 3-2-3]
Never drag the system along the floor when moving the units.The lenticular sheet damages very easily as it is very thin. Therefore move it gently and do not apply exces-
sive shock or vibration to it.
As the panels supporting the screen are very thin and deform easily, be careful that they do not hit or get
hooked onto surrounding objects when moving them.
Caution after assembly of screen frames (2 or 3 stages)
The screen frame ass’y must always be carried in the vertically standing condition by more than one person.
(It is recommended that a 3-stage screen frame ass’y is carried by 3 persons.) Never hold it horizontally, for this may cause a screen to drop out of the frame.
[Fig. 3-2-4]
37
Page 48
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
Do not stand the screen frame ass’y in the 2-
stage or 3-stage configuration against a wall. The ass’y should be mounted on the cabinet as soon as it has been assembled.
2 Cabinet
The cabinet must always be carried by being
lifted up more than one person. Never attempt to move the cabinet by sliding it on the floor.
When carrying the cabinet, each person should
hold it by the grip and the step position on the front. Also make sure that the center of gravity is located on the rear side during carrying. [Fig. 3-2­6]
[Fig. 3-2-5]

WARNING
Never attempt to lift or suspend the cabinet by
hooking the holes on it with a crane, etc. This is extremely dangerous because these holes are not strong enough to withstand the crane car­riage. Should an accident occurs as a result of an at­tempt to carry the cabinet with a crane, we can­not assume liabilities for resulting damages. [Fig. 3-2-7]

3. PRECAUTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
Always place them upright. If they are stacked on their sides or backs, vibration and shock may cause damage or fire hazards.
7 Caution for transportation of cabinet
The cabinet is sensible against falling, impact and vibration. Be careful not to place a heavy object on it or
drop it during transportation.
7 Caution for transportation of screen units
* The screen units have been designed for permanent installation and hardly repackaged and re-transported.
The following description is given for reference for the rare case in which they have to be re-transported.
Pack it properly according to the packaging specifications [Fig.3-2-2]. Also check the following conditions.
[1] The protection panel has been properly attached by the transportation screws (eight).(RM-V2550S only)
In the case of the RM-V2550S2, make sure that fittings H and V are firmly attached using screws (12 places in total).
* Use the protection screws provided with the unit.
[2] The protection tapes are pasted to the four corners of the protection panels. (RM-V2550S only)
* Paste the protection tape on the protection panel. * Use a relatively weak tape about 20 mm to 30 mm in width. <Recommended Tape> Name : Acetate cloth adhesive tape (25 mm width)
When transporting or storing the units in the packaged state, always face them up.The number of units that can be stacked in storage is 20.As the screen is at the top, be careful not to step, and place heavy objects on this top side, nor hit it with sharp
objects.
Notes (RM-V2550S2)
Be sure to set the screen unit right-side up. Of the sides on which the screw heads are exposed (the sides with the shipping screws), the longer side is the top.
Check that the shipping screws, protective panel and black tape have been removed before mounting the screen unit on the system. (When installing the system, do not remove the protective panel located on the outermost edge.)
When stacking screen units, use gloves and perform operations with at least two people to prevent acci­dents.
To prevent damage to the lenticular sheet, be as careful as possible when mounting the screen unit so as not to subject it to excessive hocks and vibrations.
When the screen units are stacked, the head of the panel fixing screws and 12 mm holes will engage. When stacking the upper screen unit, make sure that it does not brush the lower screen unit as it has panel screws projecting out.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
3 1mm-screw screen (RM-V2550S2) assembly
(Note: ‘Left’ and ‘right’ in the text refer to the case that the screen is viewed from the front)
Step 1: Preparing the cabinets
Attach the screen frame fasteners as for the RM-V2550S (see P48 [9]).
Step 2: Opening the packaging
Remove the screens from their packaging (see P37). Decide in advance where in the multi-screen assembly you will put each screen. Take out the accessories affixed to the bottom of the packaging.
Notes
* Handling the screens
1) When carrying a screen, make sure that you hold it in the designated positions (Fig. 3-4-26). In particular, do not hold the screen near the middle of the long side since if you do so there is a risk of it being damaged.
2) Handle the joints with care. When carrying out the work, avoid knocking the joints or touching them with your fingers, since if you do so there is a risk of damage.
3) It is difficult to get the screens to stand up unsupported, so if you wish to leave one somewhere temporarily, you should either stand it up against a wall (taking care that the joints do not come into contact with the wall) or else lay it down with the screen surface facing upwards.
60
Carry the screen in both hands, holding it from the points marked with circles . Do not hold it around the middle of the edge of the frame.
(Fig. 3-4-26)

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
Step 3: Preparing the screens
Take off those protective metal plates (fittings H and V) which will not form the outer edge of the
system (Fig. 3-4-27).
Example: in the case of screen 4 of a 4-screen system, take off the protective metal plates on the
top and left sides.
Attach the hook fittings (left and right) (see P49 [1] for how to do this).

Notes
* Connectors are also required in the corresponding places on the lower edges of the screens in the bottom
row, but if these connectors are attached first then it will not be possible to get the screens to stand up unsupported, making the subsequent work difficult. These connectors should thus be attached after mounting the screens on the cabinets.
* If the system setup is such that it will not be possible to attach the lower connectors after mounting the
screens on the cabinets then you should attach these connectors first.
Step 4: Preparing the screens 2 to Mounting on the cabinets
The procedure for this step will be explained separately for the cases of the 4-screen, 6-screen, 9-screen and 12-screen assemblies.
Notes
* As far as possible you should carry out the work on a level floor, since otherwise it may be difficult to align
the screens correctly.
* Moreover, you should carry out the work as close as possible to the cabinets.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
(3) Installation without using stands (Direct floor installation)
For installation of this system, we basically recommend the use of our recommended stands or other stands equipped with adjusters and casters. Nevertheless, if you should install the system directly on the floor, use the following caution in installation.
[1] If the floor is flat, the cabinets cannot be joined well and may be deformed after joining.
To prevent this, be sure to install the cabinets on a flat, level floor. (See Chapter 3, 1(1).) [2] The installation method is the same as for when stands are used. [3] Be sure to take measures against tumbling down of the system. (See Chapter 3, 1(6).) [4] Take the maintenance space that is required on the rear in consideration during installation.

1 Number of anchors
(With a 9-screen system having 3 stages of screens on each stand)
Fix each anchor using at least 2 anchors on each of the front and rear.
(With a 4-screen system having 2 stages of screens on each stand)
Fix each anchor using at least an anchor on each of the front and rear.

The L-shaped brackets used with method b in 2 should be made of sheet iron with thickness of 4 mm or more.
5 Effective anchor thread length
The anchors and anchor bolds should have an effective thread length of 6.5 mm or more.
NOTE:
Be sure to check the installation strength after anchor fixation. Otherwise the floor may fall out due to mistake in installation mistake or defect in concrete material.
For detailed dimensions and strength of the anchors, refer to their product catalogue, etc.
Pioneer will accept no responsibility for accidents or damage resulting from anchors or insufficient anchor installation strength.

See the descriptions in (2), (4) and (17) under “1. Installation conditions”.
* NOTE
With the RM-V2550S2, the external dimensions of the system may change with changes in temperature and humidity. In the case of embedding in a wall, make sure that you leave space as follows (both at the sides and at the top). 2mm per row/column of screens. Example: For 4 screens (2 x 2), 4mm of space is required at the sides and 4mm at the top.
(2) Diagonal installation
This system cannot be placed facing upwards or downwards and diagonally. Always place it horizontally.
(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. [Fig. 3-4-53]
* Perform framing constructions after assembling the screen. If light leaks from the rear space after constructions, place
a blind plate over the rear.

1. ADJUSTMENT PREPARATIONS
(1) Wiring
1 For the power supply
For the power supply, up to three units can be connected in a series using the multi projection units’ AC
outlets. Use different external power outlets for each set of three units.
The multi projection unit’s AC plug is a 3-pin plug with a ground pin. When connecting the power supply, be
sure to connect the ground pin to the ground in order to prevent electric shocks.
2 Connection of signal cables Use coaxial cables. In general use 3C-2V cables for lengths of up to 15 meters, 5C-2V cables for lengths of up
to 30 meters. Keep the distance between the signal transmitter and multi projection unit to a minimum.
3 Connection of ABL linking cables Control signals (RS-232C and remote control signals) can be sent to all units by connecting the ABL linking
cables in cascade form.
When connecting via the MVP
Computer
(PC9800, etc.)

(2) Processing of wires
When installing for long periods of time (such as for permanent installations rather than short-term events),
use wires of the appropriate length considering the overall routing of the wiring.
Make sure that the connection terminals are not subject to direct loads or forces. For short-term installation
the wires can be bound together by string, etc., but for long-term installations they should be properly bound.
(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 aging, as it takes time until Multi projection unit will warm up and stabilize, convergence and white balance will become incorrect.
(4) Adjustment signals
Use the composite video signal for adjustments created in the multi video processor. When converters not
creating the signals for adjustment are used, supply the signals for adjustment from equivalent signal sources (signal generator, LD player, etc.)
Generally required signals

2.BEFORE ADJUSTMENTS
(1) Convergence adjustment memory
The MPJ incorporates four convergence adjustment memories. These can broadly be divided into the adjust­able memory (Memories 1 to 3) and dedicated memory for reading adjustment values set at shipment (FAC­TORY).
Memory Area
Input Signal
NTSC
PAL
: Enable to select. : Disable to select. Only possible to read out to the memory area enable to select.
The following adjustment data are input to each memory area at shipment.
MEMO-1 : For NTSC signals MEMO-2 : For PAL signals MEMO-3 : For NTSC signals (Same data as MEMO-1) --- for RM-V2550BU
: For PAL signals (Same data as MEMO-2) ---- for RM-V2550E
FACTORY: For NTSC signals (Same data as MEMO-1) --- for RM-V2550BU
: For PAL signals (Same data as MEMO-2) ---- for RM-V2550E
For some input signals, NTSC and PAL are selected automatically.
When a NTSC signal is input : MEMO-1 When a PAL signal is input : MEMO-2
123FACTORY
Copying the convergence memory
The convergence memory can be copied by the remote control unit or PC. (See figure below.)
MEMO-2MEMO-1 MEMO-3 FACTORY
When data is copied, the memory into which the data is copied will lose its original data. (For example, when data is copied from MEMO-1 to MEMO-2, MEMO-2 will becomes the memory for the NTSC signal, and lose the PAL signal.) When the data has been copied into the selected convergence memory area, this can be known by the display [COPY END] on the screen. In that case, the data of the convergence has been changed into new data. If the data is not same,the convergence will change as well. Example : When MEMO-1 is selected
MEMO-1 = Copy to other memories : Completed when [COPY END] is displayed on the screen. MEMO-1 + Copy to other memories : Completed when [COPY END] is displayed on the screen and at the
same time convergence deviates.
Condition : MEMO-1 data MEMO-2 data
80
Page 91
ADJUSTMENTS
(2) TV system
The TV system determines the control of the whole unit (convergence, OSD display select, video system select, deflection) according to the signal input. Set it according to the signal input.
When TV SYSTEM is set to AUTO The mode is automatically set to NTSC or PAL according to the input signal (NTSC/PAL). When the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC The mode is set to NTSC regardless of the input signal. When the TV SYSTEM is set to PAL The mode is set to PAL regardless of the input signal.
[Precaution to use]
Normally, the TV SYSTEM is set to AUTO. If the signals cannot be differentiated between NTSC and PAL (or they are differentiated incorrectly : VCR signal repeatedly dubbed or part of CATV converter, etc.), the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC or PAL according to the input signal.
When the input signal is NTSC or PAL, and the TV SYSTEM is set to NTSC or PAL, it can enable the input to be switched smoothly (little screen noises), and prevent signals from being differentiated incorrectly due to signal disturbances and cuts.
In some cases, even if the same TV format is used, more than two types of convergence data will be required. (For example, when there are signal phase differences for every input source, etc.) In such cases, use two types of memories. Switch them using the personal computer.
81

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.
When set to color mode 1 by computer command, etc., the white balance data can be switched synchronously when the input is switched. The same is true for color mode 2. In addition, if it is necessary to change between color modes 1 and 2 for the same input function or for the VIDEO and Y/C input modes, connect a computer and switch between the modes as necessary by computer command (CM1 and CM2).
VIDEO, Y/C input memory RGB input memory Factory shipment memory
VIDEO, Y/C input memory RGB input memory Factory shipment memory
(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 performed 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. Furthermore, if the rear panel switches are operated when the adjustment mode is set by the remote control or Personal Computer, 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), COLOR MODE 1/2 (white balance switching), COMBINATION ON/OFF (ABL link switching), VIDEO MUTE ON/OFF (VIDEO MUTE of input switch­ing), baud rate setting, 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, and finish the adjustment mode (when you set each data in the adjustment mode.) (The last data will not be memorized when the main power switch is turned ON/OFF or when the AC power is turned ON/OFF using the external switch.) 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 and confirm the initial condition by AC ON/OFF.
The following phenomena may occur when discharge occurs. Example :During performance in which inputs are switched using the personal computer (VIDEO j RGB)
When discharge occurs, RGB is switched to VIDEO.
This phenomenon occurs because at the same time discharge occurs, the INPUT set is initialized in the previous memorized state (in this example, it is the VIDEO input). Therefore pay careful attention when using the memory.

(6) Assigning ID numbers
ID numbers are numbers which identify the different multi projection units in a system consisting of multiple multi projection units (4-screen systems, 9-screen systems, etc.). When the ABL linking cables are connected and ID numbers are assigned, commands can be sent to specific multi projection units and the remote control unit can be used to operate a specific multi projection unit. In addition, the ID numbers assigned to the different multi projection units can be used to change the time until each unit is turned on. This can be used to avoid harmful effects such as the circuit breaker being blown due to a large in-rush current
<Function for turning the power on at different times using the ID numbers>
If the power of the entire cube system is turned ON/OFF with a main breaker, because the cubes connected to the same power supply will be simultaneously turned on when the power is turned on, a large in-rush current my be generated. Such problems can be prevented by using the ID numbers assigned to the different sets to change the times when the units’ power actually turns on as described below, thereby lowering the probability of the power of the different units turning on simultaneously and thus preventing such problems.
* Wait Time setting
This function uses the ID numbers assigned to the individual sets, dividing the ID numbers into four groups (I to IV) and setting the time from which the microprocessor recognizes the power on command until the power assembly’s AC relay is actually turned on for the different sets within the different groups in the order of the ID numbers, with the formula: ID no. within group x 40 msec ID Converted into decimal system Wait Time.

ADJUSTMENTS
<NOTES>
As can be seen from the above, unless within one system ID numbers from the same group are assigned, the
wait times may overlap, defeating the purpose of this function. Be sure to assign ID numbers from within the same group. However, if the ID numbers are set carefully within a certain range in such a way that the wait times do not overlap, this function can be used without problems even when ID numbers from different groups are as­signed. (For example, if ID numbers between 10 and 4F are assigned to units within the system, the wait times will not overlap.)
In addition to the wait time function, some time is required for the routine when the power is turned on
normally (approx. 1 msec), so the time until the power actually turns on is:
Wait time + Approx. 1 sec
* Direct computer commands for switching the function for turning the power on at different times using the
ID numbers on and off
This function can be enabled and disabled with the following direct commands (in the AJY mode) from the external computer.
DPY (Delayed Power On Yes): Delayed power on function enabled
DPN (Delayed Power On No): Delayed power on function disabled By default (initial settings), this function is enabled. The on-screen display when this command is set is as shown below.

<Cautions on assigning ID numbers with the remote control unit or computer >
If a unit’s ID number has been cleared, it is no longer possible to communicate with the units connected by ABL linking cables after that unit. When the “**IDC” command is issued at the diagram on the previous page, only the first unit can be controlled. Control of the second unit is enabled by issuing the “01IDS” command. Control of units connected subsequently is enabled by assigning ID numbers in the same way.
