Formula for calculating the projection distance per projection lens
To use a projected image size not listed in this manual, check the projected image size SD (m) and use the 
respective formula to calculate projection distance.
The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)
When calculating a projection distance using image size designation (value in inches), multiply the value in inches 
by 0.0254 and substitute it into SD in the formula for calculating the projection distance.

Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a flat surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the 
projection screen is rectangular.
If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted to be rectangular by adjusting the front 
adjustable feet. The adjustable feet can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in the 
horizontal direction.
Adjustable feet can be extended by turning them as shown in the figure.  Turning them in the opposite direction will 
return them to the original position.
Maximum adjustable range
Adjustable feet: 12 mm (15/32) each
Attention
 f Be careful not to block the intake/exhaust ports with your hands or any objects when adjusting the adjustable feet while the light source is 
on. (

Attaching/removing the projection lens (optional)
Move the lens position to the home position before replacing or removing the projection lens. (x   page   66)
Attention
 f Replace the projection lens after turning of f the power of the projector. fDo not touch the electric contacts of the projection lens. Dust or dirt may cause poor contact. fDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands. fBefore attaching the projection lens, remove the lens cover attached to the projection lens. fDo not install the Fixed-focus Lens (Model No.: ET-

D75LE5 (production discontinued)) on the projector. Installing by mistake will cause 
malfunction of the projector.
Note
 f The precautions for handling the lens are dif ferent for the Fixed-focus Lens (Model No.: ET- D75LE90). For details, refer to the Operating 
Instructions of ET- D75LE90.
Attaching the projection lens
Attach the projection lens using the following procedure.

projector ( E to the left of LOCK) and turn clockwise until it clicks. (Fig. 1)
2)
 
Secure the projection lens with the supplied lens fixing screw
 . (Fig. 2)
 fUse a Phillips screwdriver to secure it in screw hole

							Chapter 2 Getting Started — Connecting
46 - ENGLISH
Connecting
Before connecting
 fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
 fT

urn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
 fT

ake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
 g When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby 
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
 gDo not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the projector or to the projector body . 

The longer 
the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an 
antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
 g When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a 
straight manner

.
 fAcquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied 
with the device nor available as an option.
 fInstall the optional Interface Board necessary for the video equipment to connect with the projector to the slot in 
advance.
Requesting a qualified technician to install or remove the optional Interface Board is recommended.  A

 
malfunction may occur due to static electricity. Consult your dealer.
For details on how to install the optional Interface Board, refer to “Installing the Interface Board (optional)” 
(x
  page   222).
 fSome computer models are not compatible with the projector

.
 fConnect using an extension device, etc., when installing the projector away from the video equipment.  The 
projector may not display the image properly when it is connected directly using a long cable.
 f For details of the types of video signals that can be used with the projector , refer to “List of compatible signals” 
(

x   page   210).
Connecting example: AV equipment
For /// terminals
Quad link HD-SDI signal or quad link 3G-SDI signal
4K image SDI output compatible digital input 
recorder
Note
 fUse a connection cable with 5CFB or higher (such as 5CFB or 7CFB), or Belden 1694A  or higher to properly transmit images. Use a 
connection cable of 100   m (328'1") length or less.
 fSetting the [DISPLA

Y OPTION] menu → [SDI IN] is required depending on the connected external device or the input signal.
Set [SDI LINK] in [SDI IN] when the dual link signal or the quad link signal is input.
 f T

o input the dual link signal, use the cable with same length and same type for connecting to the  terminal and the  
terminal, or the  terminal and the  terminal.  The image may not be projected correctly when the difference of the cable 
length is 4
  m (13'1") or more.
 fT

o input the quad link signal, use the cable with same length and same type for connecting to each of /// terminals. The image may not be projected correctly when the difference of the cable length is 4
  m (13'1") or more.

Twisted-pair-cable transmitter based on the communication standard HDBaseTTM such as the optional DIGITAL 
LINK output supported device (Model No.: ET

YFB200G) uses the twisted pair cable to transmit 
input images, Ethernet, and serial control signal, and the projector can input such digital signal to the  terminal.

*1 Control target is the projector or the twisted-pair-cable transmitter .  The control itself may not be possible depending on the twisted-pair-cable 
transmitter. Check the operating instructions of the device to be connected.
Attention
 f Always use one of the following when connecting a VCR. gUse a VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC). gUse a time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR. fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be disrupted. In such a case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between 
the projector and the external devices.
 fAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector . Image may 
be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
 f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , use a cable that meets the following criteria: gConforming to CA

T5e or higher standards
 gShielded type (including connectors) gStraight-through gSingle wire fWhen laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , confirm that cable characteristics are compatible with 
CA

T5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer .
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
 f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector . fWhen connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other manufacturers, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter between the twisted-pair-cable 

transmitter of other manufacturers and the projector. This may cause image to be disrupted.
 fDo not pull cables forcefully

. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
 fT

o reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector 
without any loops.
 f Lay the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables. fWhen laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together . fAfter laying the cables, go to the [NETWORK] menu 

→ [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] and confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] is 
displayed in green which indicates normal quality. (x
