The projector has an ID number setting function
that helps the user to control two or more projectors
either simultaneously or separately with a single
remote control. The ID number is set to “ALL” by
default. Hence the ID number need not be set
when only one projector is used.

1–64 : The ID number is set in this range.

• The ID number can be set to “ALL”, or

selected from “1” to “64”.

• If the projectors are given ID numbers,

their remote controls must be assigned
the same ID numbers, respectively.

• If the ID number of a projector is set to

“ALL”, it can be controlled by the
remote control or the PC with any ID
number. 
If multiple projectors are used and
some of them have their IDs set to
“ALL”, they cannot be controlled
separately from the projectors with
other ID numbers.
For details on remote control ID
setting, see page 15.

“FRONT/REAR” is used to choose the appropriate
projection scheme from Front and Rear:

FRONT : Choose this option if pictures are

projected from the front of a reflective
screen.

REAR : Choose this if pictures are projected

from the back of a translucent screen.

DESK/CEILING is used to choose the appropriate
projection scheme from Desk and Ceiling:

DESK

: Choose this option if the projector is

installed on a floor-standing base.

CEILING : Choose if the projector is installed on

the ceiling using the optional ceiling
mount bracket.

“LAMP SELECT” is used to choose from Single Lamp
and Dual Lamp modes depending on user’s needs or
viewing conditions. In Single Lamp mode, the
projector may automatically select either lamp from
the 2 lamps, or the particular lamp can be specified.

DUAL

: Two lamps are used simultaneously.

SINGLE : One of either lamps is used (lamp with

shorter operating hours is
automatically selected).

LAMP1 : Lamp Unit 1 is always used.
LAMP2 : Lamp Unit 2 is always used.

When one of the above settings is selected, it will
take effect after ENTER is pressed.

The luminance of the projection lamp can be
changed depending on user’s needs or the viewing
conditions.

HIGH : Set when high brightness is necessary.
LOW : Set when high brightness is not

necessary.

• When set to “LOW”, it is possible to

reduce power consumption, reduce
operating noise and extend lamp
service life.

• “LOW” is set automatically when long

life lamp units are used.

• If, in the “SINGLE”, “LAMP1” or

“LAMP2” mode, one lamp remains off
or the currently active lamp exceeds 
1 500

hours of cumulative operating

time (when “HIGH” is selected as the
lamp power setting), the other lamp
will light. If, in the “DUAL” mode, one
lamp remains off or the currently active
lamp exceeds 1 500

hours of

cumulative operating time (when
“HIGH” is selected as the lamp power
setting), the other lamp alone will light.
However, if both lamps remain off or
the 1 500

hours of cumulative

operating time are exceeded, the
projector will enter the standby mode.

• If only one lamp is installed in the

projector, set lamp mode to either
“LAMP1” or  “LAMP2”.  “LAMP1” or
“LAMP2” is selected. If the
corresponding lamp is not installed,
the other lamp will turn on. The same
holds for  “LAMP2” mode.

• The colors of the items indicate the

status.
