When the Screen Size is not Mentioned in the Tables

You can calculate the installation measurements described below when you use the screen whose size is not mentioned in the tables on pages 9 (GB), 10 (GB) and 12 (GB), 13 (GB).

Check your installation conditions:

• Screen size to be used (S)

• Installation measurements at the end of the manual, EL and BL for larger screen size and ES and BS for smaller screen size

See the tables on pages 105 (GB) to 113 (GB).

Center of the screen

Installation

Center of the green lens

E: Projection distance B: Screen heights

Now you can calculate the installation measurements as follows: E (mm) = ES + ((S – smaller screen size) × (EL – ES) × 0.1) B (mm) = BS + ((S – smaller screen size) × (BL – BS) × 0.1) + 254

Example: when using 124-inch screen

According to the tables on pages 106 (GB) and 107 (GB), the values E and B are as follows:

ES = 3571, BS = 860 (As the smaller screen size is 120 inch.) EL = 3856, BL = 929 (As the smaller screen size is 130 inch.)

Therefore,

E (mm) = 3571 + ((124 –120) × (3856 – 3571) × 0.1) = 3685 (mm) B (mm) = 860 + ((124 – 120) × (929 – 860) × 0.1) + 254 = 1142 (mm)

Floor Installation Using Rear Projection Flat Screen

What is the optical axis angle?

The optical axis angle is the angle between the horizontal level line and the straight line from the center of the projector’s green lens to the center of the screen. When using a rear projection screen, you can get the brightest picture when the center of the screen is aligned with a straight line extension of the center of the green lens. Therefore, the most suitable optical axis angle varies depending on the height of the screen and your line of sight.

When the optical axis angle is 2°

When using multiple projectors

Input the same signal to the base projector and the projector to be adjusted. Set COLOR TEMP in the INPUT SETTING menu to the same position on both projectors, and then follow the procedures described above to make the black and white colors uniform between the base projector and the projector to be adjusted.

Notes

• When adjusting the white balance, use the external color monitor for the reference of the color.

• To adjust the white balance easily without the on-screen display, press the STATUS OFF key on the remote control or set the STATUS option in the SET SETTING menu to OFF.

• You can adjust the white balance more easily if you set the color level to MIN to display the black and white picture.

Factory data block: The seven basic adjustment data for different types of

signals shown in the table on page 97 (GB) are preset at the factory. The adjustment data in this block connot be changed.

Service data block: The seven basic adjustment data for different types of

signals shown in the table on page 97 (GB) are preset at the factory. The data saved in the user data block can be saved as the service data.

User data block: The seven basic adjustment data for different types of

signals shown in the table on page 97 (GB) are preset at the factory. When a new signal is input, the data that has the nearest frequency is automatically selected from among the seven basic data and the existing data saved as input memory and loaded. If any of the data for the signal is adjusted, the data is saved as an input memory in one of the memory numbers 00 to 49. (If no data is adjusted, it is not saved.) The adjustment data for each input signal, if any one of the signal input conditions—vertical or horizontal frequency, type of sync signal, type of input signal and input connector—is different, is saved in different memory number as an individual input memory. The memory number of the loaded data and that of the saved data are displayed as ”INPUT MEMORY No.” on the INPUT INFO menu. If the same signal has already been input, the same memory number appears on two rows.

Preset data at the factory

Standard registration data and the input memory

If the adjusted registration data is saved as the standard data after installing the projector, the registration data for all of the input memories will be changed to reflect the new data in that installation condition. Therefore, you can easily adjust the registration for each input signal.

For the procedure of how to save the standard data, see page 88 (GB).

The projector presets seven types of basic data in memory numbers 00 to 06 of the factory data and service data blocks.
