been completed.
 f If the shutter function is enabled (shutter: closed) within approximately 10 minutes after the light source has turned on while [CONST ANT

 
MODE] in [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP] is set to [AUTO] or [PC], brightness and color cannot be measured. Therefore, brightness 
may be corrected approximately two minutes after the shutter function is disabled (shutter: open).
 f Since the brightness and the color of the light source do not stabilize for approximately eight minutes after turning on the light source when 
the projector operates with [CONST

ANT MODE] in [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL SETUP] set to [AUTO] or [PC], the brightness and the color 
of the light source will be automatically measured approximately eight minutes after the light source is turned on.  A correction is made based 
on this measurement result so that the brightness and the color will be \
the same as the standard brightness and color when adjusted with 
the brightness control.
 f When the projector operates with [CONST

brightness will be corrected until it reaches the value set in [MAX LIGHT  OUTPUT LEVEL].
 fThe variation in brightness may increase due to dust accumulating on the\
 lens, screen, or inside the projector

, depending on the installation 
environment of the projector.
 f When the variation in brightness has increased due to aging of the light\
 source, or when you replaced the light source, readjust the

the light source.
By using this function, in such a condition that multiple screens are configured using multiple projectors, you can 
reduce changes in overall brightness and white balance of the multiple s\
creens due to aging of the light source 
and suppress variation in brightness and white balance to preserve unifo\
