Connecting to Video Equipment or a Computer
When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor picture quality. When
pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.
When connecting two DisplayPort cables to project a “4096 × 2160” or “3840 × 2160” high resolution picture, connect
DisplayPort output 1 and DisplayPort output 2 of the workstation to DisplayPort input 1 and DisplayPort input 2 of the
unit respectively.
If no picture is projected with the workstation connected to the unit with DisplayPort cables, check the settings of the workstation, or graphic
boards.

Advanced Picture Menu
You can adjust the gaps in color that have occurred after a long period of use.
• Auto Calibration results in relatively coarse calibration. The color settings are not guaranteed to be the same as the factory default values.
• The colors are projected automatically while performing “Pre Check” or “Adjust.” A similar phenomenon may occur infrequently while the
power is off to adjust the unit. Both cases are not a malfunction.
• Do not turn off the power or operate the remote control or control panel during “Pre Check” or “Adjust,” as the process may be canceled.
Tips
• dE is an indicator of changing color. The smaller the value of dE, the fewer the changes caused by the color.
• Perform the calibration after the power has been on for more than 30 minutes.
• It takes a few minutes for “Pre Check” or “Adjust” to complete.
• When “Pre Check” or “Adjust” starts, the screen position may shift as the lens returns to its factory default position. After completion, the
screen returns to its previous position automatically.
• If the environment, such as the brightness of the room, changes while performing “Pre Check” or “Adjust”, measurement may be affected.
• If the “Pre Check” or “Adjust” function fails, try it again.
Setting items Description
Auto Calibration Pre Check: Checks the color difference against the factory default settings, before calibration starts.
Adjust: Performs Auto Calibration.
Before/After: Toggles the factory default settings and the setting after the calibration at a certain
frequency. You can check the effect of the calibration by monitoring the actual image.
Reset: Resets the calibration results, and returns to the factory default settings.
Notes

Screen Menu
You can set the picture size, aspect mode, etc.
These items may not be available, depending on the type of input signal. For details, see “Input Signals and Adjustment/Setting Items”
(page 41).
Item names in brackets represent those printed on the remote control.
Note
Setting items Description
Picture Position
[POSITION]
You can store up to five combinations of lens settings, aspect ratio, and blanking.
After setting the lens (focus, picture size, picture position), select from “1.85:1,” “2.35:1,” “Custom 1,”
“Custom 2,” or “Custom 3” depending on the subtended screen angle, and after confirming, continue by
selecting “Save,” “Delete,” or “Select.”
Save: Stores the current lens settings (focus, picture size, picture position) in the selected position. If a
setting is already stored in that position, it is overwritten.
Delete: Deletes the stored setting. After the setting is deleted, “1.85:1,” “2.35:1,” “Custom 1,” “Custom
2,” or “Custom 3” in the display change to “---.”
Select: Recalls the settings of the selected position.
Tips
• The optimal aspect ratio is preset for each picture position. The aspect ratio can be changed and saved
for each picture position.
• When saving the Picture Position, temporarily move the picture from the saving point down 5 cm or
more, then move the picture up again and save. This improves the precision of the Picture Position
when calling it.
• After you have selected and confirmed the lens position, the lens starts to move. Do not touch the lens
and the area around the lens, otherwise it may cause injury or a malfunction.
• If you press any button on the remote control or the unit while the lens is moving, the lens stops. In
this case, select the lens position again or adjust the lens manually.
• When you use a 2.35:1 or a 16:9 subtended angle with the Picture Position function, make sure that
the installation position is suitable (page 14).
• The Picture Position function is not guaranteed to reproduce the lens settings precisely.
• “Picture Position” cannot be set when “Lens Control” is set to “Off.”
Notes

Aspect You can set the aspect ratio of the picture to be displayed for the current input signal (page 15). You can
use this setting only when a 2K signal is input.
1.85:1 Zoom: A 1.85:1 aspect ratio picture is displayed in its original aspect ratio, enlarged so that black
bands do not appear at the top and bottom of the projection surface.
2.35:1 Zoom: A 2.35:1 aspect ratio picture is displayed in its original aspect ratio, enlarged so that black
bands at the top and bottom of the projection surface are as small as possible. When you select “2.35:1
Zoom” from “Trigger Select 1/2” on the Installation menu, a 12 V signal is output from the
TRIGGER 1 or TRIGGER 2 connector (page 29).
Normal: Input video is displayed in its original aspect ratio, enlarged to fill the projection surface. This
mode is suitable for viewing 1.78:1 (16:9) and 1.33:1 (4:3) video.
Stretch: Displays video that has been squeezed to 1.33:1 (4:3) as 1.78:1 (16:9) aspect ratio.
Tips
• Selectable aspect modes vary depending on the input signal (page 41).
• When a computer signal is input, you cannot select the aspect setting.
• Aspect setting is stored for each of the five Picture Positions. Adjust the aspect after selecting the
Picture Position. Final adjusted values are stored automatically.

Tips
• Depending on the aspect ratio setting, right/left blanking may not be available.
• Blanking setting is stored for each of the five Picture Positions. Adjust the blanking after selecting the
Picture Position. Final adjusted values are stored automatically.
Image Shift On: You can adjust the image position.
H: The image moves to the right as the value increases, and moves to the left as decreases.
V: The image moves up as the value increases, and moves down as decreases.
Off: You can turn off the image shift function.
Tip
When displaying one image with two projectors installed side-by-side, position both images to align
their adjoining edges.

Projection Distance and
Lens Shift Range
The projection distance refers to the distance between the
front of the lens and the projected surface.
The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%)
by which the lens can be shifted from the center of the
projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0%
when the point A in the illustration (point where a line
drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image
cross at right angles) is aligned with the center of the
projected image and full width or full height of the
projected image is regarded as 100%.
VS +:Vertical lens shift range (up) [%]
VS –:Vertical lens shift range (down) [%]
HS +:Horizontal lens shift range (right) [%]
