Note
 fThe remote control can be used within a distance of about 15   m (49'2") if pointed directly at the remote control signal 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 con\
trol 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.

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 project\
or , do not press the  button on the remote control 
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

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 i\
n 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 object\
s when adjusting the adjustable feet when the light source is on.

Connecting
Before connecting
 fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the ext\
ernal 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 t\
o do so may result in malfunctions.
 g When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the pr\
ojector 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 m\
akes 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.
 fIf video signals from 

AV equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may randomly wobble or waver. 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   133) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector\
