Connections and Preparations

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 48).

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

2 Project an image on the screen and adjust the picture so that it fits the screen (page 6).

Note

When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen depending on the distance between the screen and the unit or the zooming magnifications. This is not a malfunction of the unit.

Adjusting the Picture

Position

Project an image on the screen and then adjust the picture position.

Remote control detector

Tips

•The ?/1 (On/Standby), INPUT, and MENU buttons on the side panel of the unit have the same functions as those on the remote

control. The M/m/</, (arrow)/ENTER button of the unit has the same function as the M/m/</, (arrow)/ (enter) button on the remote control. The LENS button functions the same way as the LENS ADJUSTMENT (FOCUS, ZOOM, SHIFT) buttons on the remote control.

•When adjusting the lens, each time you press the LENS button on the unit, the lens adjustment function switches between “Lens Focus,” “Lens Zoom” and “Lens Shift.”

Note

Depending on the installation location of the unit, you may not be able to control it with the remote control. In this case, point the remote control at the remote control detector of the unit or 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 Premium High Speed HDMI cable. If using a cable other than a Premium High Speed cable, 4K video images may not be properly displayed.

•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 are faced at each other.

•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 33) 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. For details on how to project the image, see “Projecting the Picture” (page 11).

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 27).

•Use the 3D glasses within the communication range (page 12).

•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 27).

11

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

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.

		Off: The “Dynamic Control” function is not applied.
		Laser Light Output: The higher the setting, the brighter the picture. The lower the setting, the darker
		the picture.
		Tip
		Adjust “Laser Light Output” according to the brightness of the picture.
	Dynamic HDR Enhancer	For HDR content, automatically adjusts the range of movement of the laser light and iris (diaphragm),
	[CONTRAST ENHANCER]	and the signal level of bright and dark parts to optimize contrast according to a scene.
		Increases image sharpness and makes the image dynamic.
