®

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.

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.

For details on how to project the image,
see “Projecting the Picture” (page 14).

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 15).

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 35).

• Use the 3D glasses within the
communication range (page 15).

• 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.

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.

Adjusting/Setting the 3D functions

You can adjust/set the 3D functions by

29

Advanced Picture Menu

You can adjust the gaps in color that have occurred after a long period of use.

Notes

• Auto Calibration results in relatively coarse calibration. No warranty is given for the color settings
to be the same as the factory default values.

• While performing “Pre Check” or “Adjust,” the colors are projected automatically. This is not a
malfunction.

• Do not turn off the power or operate the remote control or control panel during “Pre Check” or
“Adjust”, as the process may be canceled.

Tips

• dE is an indicator of changing color. The smaller the value of dE, the fewer the changes caused by
the color.

• Perform the calibration after the power has been on for more than 30 minutes.

• It takes a few minutes for “Pre Check” or “Adjust” to complete.

• When “Pre Check” or “Adjust” starts, the screen position may shift, as the lens returns to its factory
default position. After completion, the screen returns to its previous position automatically.

• If the environment changes, such as the brightness of the room, while performing “Pre Check” or
“Adjust”, measurement may be affected.

• If the “Pre Check” or “Adjust” function fails, try it once again.

Setting items Description

Auto Calibration Pre Check: Checks the color difference against the factory default

settings, before calibration starts.

Adjust: Performs Auto Calibration.
Before/After: Toggles the factory default setting and the setting after the

calibration at a certain frequency. You can check the effect of the
calibration by monitoring the actual image.
Reset: Resets the calibration results, and returns to the factory default
settings.

30

Screen Menu

You can set the picture size, aspect mode, etc.

Note

These items may not be available, depending on the type of input signal. For details, see “Input
Signals and Adjustable/Setting Items” (page 58).

Item names in brackets represent those printed on the remote control.

Setting items Description

Picture Position
[POSITION]

You can store up to five combinations of lens settings, aspect ratio, and
blanking.
After setting the lens, aspect, and blanking, select from “1.85:1,”
“2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” or “Custom 3” depending on the
subtended screen angle, and after confirming, continue by selecting
“Save,” “Delete,” or “Select.”
Save: Stores the current lens settings (focus, window size, window
position) in the selected position. If a setting is already stored in that
position, it is overwritten.
Delete: Deletes the stored setting. After the setting is deleted, “1.85:1,”
“2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom 2,” or “Custom 3” in the display change
to “---.”
Select: Recalls the settings of the selected position.

Tips

• The optimal aspect ratio is preset for each picture position. The aspect
ratio can be changed and saved for each picture position.

• When saving the Picture Position, temporarily move the picture from the
saving point down 5 cm or more. Move the picture up again and save.
This improves the precision of the Picture Position when calling it.

Notes

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

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

• When you use a 2.35:1 or a 16:9 subtended screen angle with the
Picture Position function, make sure that the installation position is
suitable (page 16).

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

(16:9) aspect ratio.

Tips

• When you select “V Stretch” or “Squeeze,” select the anamorphic lens
type from “Anamorphic Lens” in the Installation menu.

• Selectable aspect modes vary depending on the input signal (page 61).

• The aspect cannot be selected for an input signal from a computer, or
an input signal with a resolution of 4096 × 2160 (pages 56, 57, 61).

About HDR (high dynamic range)

HDR is a video expression which improves
the ability to express dark places and bright
places compared to previous video
expressions.

About the simulated 3D feature

• Use the simulated 3D function taking into

account that the picture will provide a
different look from the original images,
because this function converts the video
images.

• Note that if the unit is used for profit or for

public viewing, displaying 2D video
images as 3D video images by converting
to the simulated 3D may constitute an
infringement of the rights of authors or
producers, which are legally protected.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The projection distance refers to the distance between the front of the lens and the projected
surface.

Projection distance L

Projected image

Front of the lens

The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from
the center of the projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0% when the point A in
the illustration (point where a line drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image
cross at right angles) is aligned with the center of the projected image and full width or full
height of the projected image is regarded as 100%.
