2 Features

Highly configurable electronic adjustment gives you the
freedom to place the projector wherever you want

A short focal length, high power zoom, and fully vertically adjustable lens allow you to use the
projector in a wide range of environments. You can also use the remote control to access many
lens functions such as focus, zoom, and lens shift to fine-tune the projector from your viewing
position.

Features

Uses the DMDTM device 720p DarkChip3

The projector uses the high contrast “720p DarkChip3TM”, to reduce black levels even further
and reproduce contrasts close to that of a film.

TM

Adjust 7 colors independently (including white), or use the
automatic color balance function

The DPX-1300 allows you to adjust the 7-axis WRGBYCM color coordinate and gain
parameters directly. For better consistency, you can also control color temperature and RGB
balance together, allowing you to check that the changes you make are always consistent with
your preferences.

The digital interface provides sharp, detailed images

The DPX-1300 is equipped with an HDMI terminal, which is set to become the standard for the
coming generation of products. Connect to a DVD player or set-top box with a HDMI terminal
to receive digital image data directly, and enjoy completely digitally processed images.
Compatible with the content protection function of HDCP.

Intelligent memory functions

The DPX-1300 can store six image memory settings, called memory numbers, for each input
jack. For each memory number, you can set parameters for different input resolutions, and the
unit will switch to the appropriate parameters when it begins displaying an image of an
appropriate resolution. For example, the unit automatically changes display settings without
changing memory numbers when you change from watching a DVD to watching a HDTV
image for which you have set different image menu item parameters.

In-line menus for image adjustment

You can access image adjustment menu items at the touch of a button, and adjust images while
viewing them without opening the menu screen.

B: From behind a semi-translucent screen
C: From in front of a screen
D: From behind a semi-translucent screen

Projection method

◆ Mounting the projector on a table

A: From in front of a screen

Place the unit on a table to project and view the image from in front of the screen. Usually,
place the unit on a reasonably high table. The height from the bottom of the unit to the center
of the lens is 12.4 cm (4”-7/8).

B: From behind a screen (using a semi-translucent screen)

Place the unit on a table to project and view the image from behind a semi-translucent
screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as “A: From in
front of the screen”.

• Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Rear/Table]. (☞ page 27 - 47)

◆ Mounting the projector on the ceiling

There are two kinds of brackets (sold separately: PMT-L31 and PMT-H35), which you can use to mount the projector on the ceiling. Please
consult your dealer for details on their use, and have installation done by either your dealer or a reputable contractor.

C: From in front of a screen

Mount the unit on the ceiling to project and view the image from in front of the screen. The
distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as “A: From in front of the
screen”.

Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Front/Ceiling]. (☞ page

•

D: From behind a semi-translucent screen

Mount the unit on the ceiling to project and view the image from behind a semi-translucent
screen. The distance between the projector and the screen should be the same as “B: From
behind a screen”.

Set the [Location] menu item in the [Setup] menu group to [Rear/Ceiling]. (☞ page

Projection distance

The most suitable distance between the screen and the projector (see Projection distance [a]) depends on the size of the screen (diagonal
length) you use. You can use the zoom function to adjust the projection distance within a preset range from Wide to Tele. You can also alter
the V.POS parameter to adjust the vertical position of the image to better suit the screen. Use the information in the table below to determine
the best location to place the projector in to suit your screen size.

You can use the zoom function to make efficient use of the screen for both *1 and *2 above. The projection distance in this case is
between Wide in *2 and Tele in *1. Use the zoom to adjust the size of the projection images so that they fill the screen completely. Note
that adjustments to V.POS may cause the position of the image to change.

Projection image position

Follow the instructions to adjust the position of the projected image on screen.

<Using ZOOM to adjust image position>

This illustration shows the limits within which the
zoom function can alter projection distance [a] in
relation to screen size. You can adjust the image
within these limits so that it fills the screen
completely. ( ☞ page 26)

<Using V.POS (vertical position) to adjust image position>

You can adjust the vertical position of the
projection image up or down by half of the height
of the screen. For example, shifting V.POS fully up
brings the lower limit of the image above the
centerline of the lens. (☞ page 25)

<Using the adjusters to adjust image position>

If you mount this unit on a tabletop, you can use the adjusters on its underside to change the
position of the projection image. Rotate the movable part of the two screw-type adjusters at
the front bottom of the case to adjust the height. The movement range of the adjusters is 3
cm (1-1/4 inch). Adjust with care as loosening them further than 3 cm may cause them to
separate from the unit.

◆ Keystone adjustment

If you mount the unit at an angle to the screen, it projects trapezoidally distorted images. You can use the [V keystone Correction] or [H
keystone Correction] item in the [Setup] menu group to rectify this. (☞ page 36)

Memo

• If the keystone is adjusted aspect ratio may not be correctly maintained. To correctly maintain the aspect ratio, try to use the DPX­1300 with the lens shift in the center position.

• The video may be disturbed by keystone correction. Wherever possible, we recommend setting up so the screen and projector
form a right angle.

Checking installation and connections

◆ Pre-operation check

Prior to projection, adjust settings to suit the location of the main unit and screen, and the input signal you are using.
However, there is usually no need to adjust any settings if you have not changed the installation location or components since the last time
you used this unit. Check settings and connections only when the unit does not appear to project images correctly.

Prior to projection, check that the main unit and screen are correctly installed, and that source components are connected correctly.

Is the screen installed correctly?
