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 65).
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.

Notes
• Use a high-speed HDMI cable. With a standard HDMI cable, images of 1080p, DeepColor, 3D
video and 4K video may not be displayed properly.
• 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.
• Even if the cable is connected to the HDMI INPUT 1 connector, the signal compatible with HDCP
2.2 cannot be displayed correctly. Be sure to connect the cable to the HDMI INPUT 2 connector.

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).
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 36).
Using the 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 15).
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 16).
Tips
• The factory default setting for ”2D-3D
Display Sel.” is “Auto” to allow projecting
3D video images automatically when the unit
detects 3D signals.
• To convert 3D video images to 2D video
images, set “2D-3D Display Sel.” to “2D”
(page 36).
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 36).
• Use the 3D glasses within the
communication range (page 16).
• 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.
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.

that changing the aspect ratio of the
original picture will provide a different
look from that of the original image.
• Note that if the unit is used for profit or for
public viewing, modifying the original
