Note
 fThe remote control can be used within a distance of about 15   m (49'2") if pointed directly at the remote control receiver. The remote control 
can control at angles of up to ±   15° vertically and ±   30° horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced.
 fIf there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver , the remote control may not operate properly

.
 fThe signal will be reflected of

f the screen. However, the operating range may be limited from light reflection loss due to the screen material.
 fIf the remote control signal receiver directly receives strong light, such as fluorescent light, the remote control may not operate properly . Use 
it in a place distant from the light source.
 f The power indicator  will flash if the projector receives a remote control signal.

Using the remote control
Inserting and removing the batteries
(i)
(ii)
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2)  
Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the 
 m side first). (Fig. 2)
 fWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order .
Setting the remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector individually using single 
remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector .
After setting the ID number of the projector, set same ID number on the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When usi\
ng a single projector, press the  button on the 
remote control. Also, you can control a projector by pressing the  button on the remote control even if you do not know the 
projector ID.
How to set
1) Press the  button on the remote control.
2)  
W
 ithin five seconds, press the one-digit ID number set on the projector u\
sing the number ( - ) 
buttons.
 f If you press the  button, you can control the projectors regardless of the ID number setting of the projector .
Attention
 fSince the ID number of the remote control can be set without the projector , do not press the  button carelessly . If the  
button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within five seconds, the ID number returns to its original value before the 
 button was pressed.
 f The ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set again. However , it will be erased if the remote control is left with dead 
batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.
Note
 f Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECT OR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].

[PROJECTION METHOD] and [COOLING CONDITION]
There are six ways to set up the projector. Set the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTION METHOD] and [COOLING CONDITION] 
depending on the environment. Also set [COOLING CONDITION] correctly. Using with incorrect settings may shorten the life of light source.

You can install the projector using the optional ceiling mount bracket (Model No.: ET- PKR100H (for high ceilings), ET- PKR100S (for low 
ceilings), or ET- PKR100P (for portrait)).
 fUse only the ceiling mount brackets specified for this projector

.
 fRefer to the installation manual for the ceiling mount bracket when installing and setting up the bracket and the projector .
Attention
 fTo ensure projector performance and security, installation of the ceiling mount bracket must be carried out by your dealer or a qualified 
technician.

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 adjustable feet.  The adjustable feet 
can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in a horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the figure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.
Adjustable amount
Front adjustable feet: Approx. 12 mm (15/32)
Attention
 f Be careful not to block the intake/exhaust with your hands or any objects when adjusting the adjustable feet when the light source is on.

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 to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body . 

The longer the cable, the 
more it is susceptible to noise. 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 either not supplied with the device or not 
available as an option.
 fV

ideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base 
corrector (TBC) must be connected.
 f The projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are  TTL

 level), and digital signals.
 fSome computer models are not compatible with the projector

.
 fUse a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly .
 fRefer to “List of compatible signals” ( x

  page   130) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector .

Attention
 fAlways use one of the following when connecting a VCR. gA

 gA

 time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR
 fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the 
projector and the external devices.
 fWhen inputting digital signals to the DVI

- I terminal, use a commercially available cable with a ferrite core.
Note
 fWhen a DVI digital signal is input, some external devices to be connected may require to switch the setting using the [DISPLA Y  OPTION] 
menu → [DVI-I IN]  → [EDID].
 fThe  terminal can be connected to HDMI- or DVI

- I-compliant devices. However, images may not appear or may not be displayed 
properly on some devices.
 f For an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards 
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
 fThe  terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with a DVI terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion 
cable, but some devices may not project the image properly or function properly .
 fThe projector does not support VIERA

 Link (HDMI).
 fIf the [HDMI] and [DIGIT

AL LINK] settings in the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [AUDIO SETTING]  → [AUDIO IN SELECT] are incorrect, 
the projector may have malfunctions such as the absence of audio.
