ZN » Exercise care not to drop the remote control on hard flooring. * Exercise care not to spill water or any other liquid on the remote control. » Do not use Ni-Cd batteries with this remote control, 14 E Effective control range The remote control should normally be aimed at either the front or rear remote control receiver window on the projector (fig. 1). Otherwise it may also be aimed at the screen, which will reflect commands back to the projector's front receiver window as illustrated in figure 2. The effective control range is approx. 7 meters (23 feet) immediately in front of the receiver windows.

H Setting projector IDs for remote control When controlling multiple projectors individually or simultaneously with a single remote control, projector IDs must be set into the remote control as described in the following steps: 1. Press the “ID SET” button on remote control. ID number “ALL” will be displayed on the OSD. 2. Press and hold the “ID SET” button for more than 2 seconds. The ID number will change into “1”. The “ID SET” button will now toggle through ID numbers “2”, “3”, “ALL”, “1”, and so on each time it is subsequently pressed. 3. Select the ID number you wish and then press the “ENTER” button. * The projector ID number in the remote control is set to “ALL” by default. It is therefore not necessary to set a projector ID number when only one projector is used. » The projector can be turned ON/OFF from the remote control only if the projector ID is set in the remote control. For more details on projector ID setting, see page 36. 15 Using the Remote control unit E Using the remote control as a PC mouse You can use the remote control as your PC mouse.

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: Luminance Viewed from mating side * The pin assignments on the DVI-D input port are as follows (interface with TMDS port on PC): Viewed from mating side Pin No. Signal Pin No. Signal M |T.M.D.S data 2- (3 |T.M.D.Sdata3+ © |T.M.D. S data 2+ +5 V 3 T.

[ASPECT (AUTO) [AUTO]: (S-video only) If an S1 video signal is applied to the S-VIDEO port, the picture is automatically switched to the 16:9 aspect ratio. [16:9]: The image is vertically compressed into a 16:9 ratio. [4:3]: The aspect ratio inherent to the input video signal is left intact when projected onto the screen. [S4:3]: Picture size is compressed to 75% of the original picture size when projected. (This mode is useful when viewing pictures with the standard 4:3 aspect ratio on a wide screen with the 16:9 aspect ratio.) 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 picture at its original aspect ratio, choose the standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
