[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]
The projector is equipped with a luminance sensor to 
measure brightness and functions to correct screen 
brightness resulting from changes in lamp brightness.
Use the projector when using multiple projectors to 
display on multiple screens to reduce changes in 
overall brightness of the multiple screens due to lamp 
degradation and suppress variation in brightness to 
preserve uniformity.
1)  Press ▲▼ to select [BRIGHTNESS 
CONTROL].
2)  Press the <ENTER> button.

z
When one projector is used, the maximum 
correction amount is the value obtained when 
the [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] value is 
subtracted from 100%. When [BRIGHTNESS 
CONTROL GAIN] is 100%, the maximum correction 
amount is 0% and brightness cannot be corrected 
due to luminance controls.
 
z
Luminance will be unsteady for eight minutes after 
a lamp is turned on. Adjust after eight minutes have 
elapsed from the time that the power is switched 
on.
 
z
[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL GAIN] adjustments are 
reflected to all image signals, internal test patterns, 
and on-screen menus.

[OFF]
Uses the luminance sensor on one 
projector to perform correction without 
connecting another projector.
The length of time that constant 
brightness can be maintained increases 
as the [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL 
GAIN] value decreases.
[GROUP A]
[GROUP B]
[GROUP C]
[GROUP D]
Correction by luminance sensor is 
performed by connecting several 
projectors.
Use network functions to set up to four 
A to D groups within the same subnet.
Up to eight projectors can be registered 
and connected in each group.
