Connections and Preparations

This section describes how to install the unit and screen, how to connect the equipment from which you want to project the picture, etc.

Installing the Unit

The installation distance between the unit and a screen varies depending on the size of the screen or whether or not you use the lens shift features. Install this unit so that it fits the size of your screen. For details on the distance between the unit and the screen (the projection distance) and the size of projected video, see “Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range” (page 47).

1 Position the unit so that the lens is parallel to the

screen.

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.

• 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.

Projecting

This section describes how to operate the unit to view a picture from the equipment connected to the unit. It also describes how to switch the screen size according to the picture.

Projecting the Picture

1 Turn on both the unit and the equipment connected to

the unit.

2 Press INPUT to display the input palette on the

projection surface.

3 Select the equipment from which you want to display

images. Press INPUT repeatedly or press M/m/ (enter) to

select the equipment from which to project.

Example: To view the picture from the video equipment connected to the HDMI 1 connector of this unit.

Tips

• When “Status” is set to “Off” on the Setup menu, the input palette does not appear. Press the INPUT button to switch between input terminals sequentially.

• You can change the language for the menu and on-screen displays in “Language” on the Setup menu (page 26).

Turning Off the Power

1 Press the ?/1 (On/Standby) button.

The message “POWER OFF?” appears.

2 Press the ?/1 (On/Standby) button again before the

message disappears. The ON/STANDBY indicator flashes in green and the

fan continues to run to reduce the internal heat.

Watching 3D Video Images

You can enjoy powerful 3D video images, such as from 3D games and 3D Blu-ray Discs, using the optional Active 3D Glasses (TDG-BT500A).

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.

For details on how to project the image, see “Projecting the Picture” (page 12).

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 12).

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 28).

• Use the 3D glasses within the communication range (page 13).

• 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 28).

The fan stops and the ON/STANDBY indicator changes from flashing green to remaining red.

You can disconnect the AC power cord.

Note

Never disconnect the AC power cord while the unit is turned on.

You can turn off the unit by holding the ?/1 (On/Standby) button for about 1 second, instead of performing the above steps.

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.

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

The following figure indicates 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.

Image of the lens moving

In the example below, the images with aspect ratio of

1.78:1 (16:9) and 2.35:1 are projected on a 2.35:1 screen.

Selecting the Aspect Ratio According to the Video Signal

When a 1.78:1 (16:9) image is input

When a 2.35:1 image is input

Press the POSITION button.

The 2.35:1 image expands to fill the screen.

Notes

• After you have selected and confirmed the lens position, the lens starts to move. Do not touch, or place anything near, the lens, otherwise it may cause injury or a malfunction.

• If you press any button on the remote control or the unit while the lens is moving, the lens stops. In this case, select the lens position again or adjust the lens manually.

• The Picture Position function is not guaranteed to reproduce the lens settings precisely.

• When you use the subtended screen angle of two or more aspects using lens zoom, install the unit within the specified parameters referring to “Projection distance” (page 48). With some setting positions, the range of lens shift may be restricted, even though the unit is installed within the specified parameters.

You can select an aspect ratio best suited for the video signal received.

Press ASPECT. Each time you press the button, you can select the “Aspect”

setting.You can also select it using the menu (page 25).
