Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above
table can be calculated using the formulas below.
If the screen size (diagonal) is SD, then the following
formulas is first used to obtain the screen width (SW).
SW = (SD x 0.0254) x 4 + 5 (SD unit is inches)
The value for SW obtained above can then be used
with the following function to calculate the projection
distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the
projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).
LW = 1.831 x SW - 0.071
LW = 2.449 x SW - 0.066
For 16 : 9 aspect rations, the following formal can be
used to calculate the screen width (SW).
SW = (SD x 0.0254) x 16 + /327
* The dimensions in the table above and the values
obtained from the above formulas may contain
slight errors.
- It is recommended that you use the projection
distance for the wide lens position (except in cases
where the diagonal picture size is 0.762 m [30"]).
* The above dimensions are the case when the
aspect ratio is 4:3. When an SXGA signal is input
and projected, the right and left ends of the picture
Will be blanked the aspect ratio will be 5:4.
H Setup precautions
* Before connecting any of your video/audio equipment to the projector, carefully read the owners manual supplied
with the equipment once again.
* All cable connections should be made with the entire system devices, including the projector, first turned off.
+ Obtain commercial interconnecting cables for devices supplied with no accessory or optional interconnect cables.
* Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or shake. Inserting
a time base corrector (TBC) in the projector's video line will relieve this problem.
* The projector only accepts composite-video, S-video, analog-RGB (with TTL sync. level), and digital signal from PC.
* The projector contains built-in speakers. When greater sound output is required, use an audio amplifier connected
to the projector's AUDIO OUT jack. Once the cable is plugged into the AUDIO OUT jack, the audio signal lines to the
internal speakers are automatically cut off.
* Some PC models are not compatible with the PT-L6500U/L6600U projector.
* The pin assignments on the S-VIDEO IN port are as
follows:

What Is S1 Video?
* The S1 video is the wide-aspect-ready S-video format
containing an aspect sense signal for squeezed videos fed
from video equipment.
«If “AUTO” is chosen, the projector automatically compresses
the squeezed input video into the 16:9 aspect ratio if it detects
the aspect sense signal.
Caution
- If you choose an aspect ratio that does not match
the source video's aspect ratio, you will see a picture
with an aspect ratio not the same as that of the
original picture. Choose the appropriate aspect ratio
carefully to match that of the original picture.
* If an aspect ratio not intended for the original
picture is chosen when the projector is used
for profitable purpose or in the presence of
audience, it may infringe the rights of the
copyright owner of the original picture.
* |f a picture with the standard (4:3) aspect ratio
is projected at a wide aspect ratio, parts of the
picture may run over the screen bounds or the
overall picture may be distorted. To view the

* Lamp can be selected without turning off the
projector.
* |f lamp mode is switched from “SINGLE”,
“SINGLE 17, or “SINGLE 2” into “DUAL”, be sure
to temporarily turn the projector OFF, then turn it
ON again. The “DUAL” mode will become valid
only after the projector is turned back ON.
- When the currently active lamp exceeds 2000 hours of
cumulative operating time, if in “SINGLE1” or
“SINGLE?” mode, the other lamp takes over, provided
that the cumulative operating time of that lamp does
not exceed 2000 hours. If the cumulative operating time
of the other lamp also exceeds 2000 hours when in
“Dual”, “SINGLE”, “SINGLE1”, or “SINGLE?” mode, the
projector will enter Standby mode after 10 minutes.
* If only one lamp is installed in the projector, set lamp
mode to either “SINGLE1” or “SINGLE?”. “SINGLE1”
or “SINGLE?” is selected. If the corresponding lamp
is not installed, the other lamp will turn on. The same
holds for “SINGLE2” mode. If “SINGLE” mode is
selected, it may take approx. 90 seconds before the
lamp turns ON.

UNIT ID is used to set projector IDs when the user
wishes to control two or more projectors either
simultaneously or separately.
ISET ID Au M
“ALL”: The projectors can be simultaneously
controlled from any remote control regardless
of their ID settings.
“1”: The projector can be controlled from the remote
control with its projector ID set to “1”.
“2”. The projector can be controlled from the remote
control with its projector ID set to “2”.
“8”: The projector can be controlled from the remote
control with its projector ID set to “3”.
* Unit ID is set to “ALL” by default. Hence ID
number need not be set when only one
projector is used.
* If the projectors are given ID numbers, their
remote controls must be assigned the same
ID numbers, respectively.
* |f the unit IDs of two or more projectors are
set to “ALL”, the user will not be able to
control them separately.
The projector can be turned ON/OFF from
the remote control only if the projector ID is
set in the remote control. For the details of
projector ID setting, see page 15.
