Connecting to Video Equipment or a Computer

You can enjoy high picture quality by connecting a DVD player/recorder, Blu-ray Disc player/ recorder, or PlayStation® equipped with HDMI output to the HDMI input of the unit.

When making connections, be sure to do the following:

•Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

•Use the proper cables for each connection.

•Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor picture quality. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.

•Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

Notes

•Use a Premium High Speed HDMI cable. If you use other types of cables, 4K video may not be displayed appropriately.

•When connecting an HDMI cable to the unit, make sure the V mark on the upper part of the HDMI input of the unit and the v mark on the connector of the cable is set at the same position.

•If the picture from equipment connected to the unit with an HDMI cable is not correct, check the settings of the connected equipment.

•If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both computer’s display and this equipment, the picture of the equipment may not appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor. For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your computer. For settings of the computer, consult with the manufacturer of the computer.

When you monitor and control the projector via the network, access the Setup page of the projector (page 39) via a Web browser and enable the desired control protocol.

Watching 3D Video

Images

You can enjoy powerful 3D video images, such as from 3D games and 3D Blu-ray Discs, using the Active 3D Glasses.

1 Turn on the HDMI equipment for 3D compatibility connected to the unit, then play the 3D content.

For details on how to play 3D content, refer to the operating instructions for the connected equipment.

2 Turn on the unit and project the 3D video image onto the screen.

For details on how to project the image, see “Projecting the Picture” (page 13).

3 Turn on the 3D glasses, and then put them on so that they fit comfortably.

For details on how to use the 3D glasses, see “Using the 3D Glasses” (page 14).

Tip

The factory default setting for ”2D-3D Display Sel.” is “Auto” to allow projecting 3D video images automatically when the unit detects 3D signals.

Notes

•It may not be possible to display 3D video image, depending on the type of signal. Set the “2D-3D Display Sel.” to “3D,” and “3D Format” to “Side-by-Side” or “Over-Under” to suit the format of the 3D content you want to watch (page 32).

•Use the 3D glasses within the communication range (page 14).

•There are differences in perception of 3D video images among individuals.

•When the temperature of the usage environment is low, the 3D effect may be diminished.

Adjusting/Setting the 3D functions

You can adjust/set the 3D functions by pressing the 3D button on the remote control or with the “3D Settings” of the Function menu. For details, see “3D Settings”

(page 32).

Using the 3D Glasses

1 Turn on the 3D glasses, and register them on the unit.

For details on how to register the 3D glasses, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the 3D glasses.

2 Put on the 3D glasses.

3 Turn toward the screen.

Precautions for use

Misoperation may occur if:

•The viewing position is too far from the projector

•There are other communication devices, such as a wireless LAN (IEEE802.11 b/g/ n) or a microwave with a bandwidth of 2.4 GHz, near the unit

3D glasses communication range

Figure below indicate the communication range of the 3D glasses. If you try to watch 3D video images from a distance greater than the communication range or install the unit outside the communication range, the 3D glasses may not be able to display the images properly. Also, the distance varies depending on the environment of the room and installation environment of the unit.

	“HLG” setting is applied.
	When an input signal supports BT.2020, the “Color Space” is set to
	“BT.2020” automatically. When a signal other than BT.2020 is input, the

Notes

•If the setting is not correct for the input content, the bright and dark areas of the video may appear too bright or too dark.

•When setting “HDR10” or “HDR Reference,” compare the picture quality in both modes, and select the one that optimally displays the average brightness and tone of the bright parts.
