When using the system with multiple projectors
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector
individually by using single remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
When you want to set the ID number, at rst you need to complete the Initial setting, and then after setting the ID number of
the projector, set the ID number on the remote control. About Initial setting, please refer to “When the initial setting screen is
displayed” (x page 36).

Projection distance formulas
Any other projection distance can be obtained according to the screen dimensions (m) by using the following calculations.
The calculated distance may contain a certain error.
If you want to calculate the projection distance with projected image size SD (unit: inch) by substituting, please assign 0.0254
times to the SD value.
For PT-VW350
For 4:3 aspect ratio For 16:9 aspect ratio For 16:10 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH) = 0.6 × SD(m) = 0.490 × SD(m) = 0.530 × SD(m)
Screen width (SW) = 0.8 × SD(m) = 0.872 × SD(m) = 0.848 × SD(m)
Minimum distance (LW) = 1.1363 × SD(m) - 0.0290 = 1.0316 × SD(m) - 0.0290 = 1.0037 × SD(m) - 0.0290
Maximum distance (LT) = 1.8422 × SD(m) - 0.0292 = 1.6725 × SD(m) - 0.0292 = 1.6273 × SD(m) - 0.0292
For PT-VX420
For 4:3 aspect ratio For 16:9 aspect ratio

Connecting
Before connecting
fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
fTurn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
fTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
- When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to
eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
- Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer
the cable, the more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more
susceptible to noise.
- When connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight
manner.
fIf any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the device,
prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
fVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture.
In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
fThe projector accepts VIDEO signals, S-VIDEO signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals and analog RGB signals (synchronous signals
are TTL level), and digital signal.
fSome computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector.
fWhen using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will not be
output correctly unless a compensator is used.
fFor details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (x page 112)

Attention
fAlways use one of the following when connecting a VCR.
- A VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC).
- A time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR.
fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector
(TBC) between the projector and the external devices.
Note
fFor an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to
HDMI standards is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.

(Or press the power <v/b> button on the control panel or on the remote control again.)
fProjection of the image will stop, and the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> lights in orange. (The fans keep
running.)
3) Wait until the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> lights or blinks in red.
fThe projector enters standby mode when the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> lights or blinks in red.
Note
fWhile the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> is lighting in orange, the lamp is being cooled down and the projector
cannot be turned on. Wait until the power indicator <ON(G)/STANDBY(R)> starts lighting or blinking in red to turn on the
projector again.
fWhen packing the projector for transportation and storage, please make sure that each indicator is off.
Direct Power Off function
You can disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or turn off the power breaker switch even during projection.
Attention
fDo not disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or turn off the power breaker switch in a short time (about 1 minute)
after the lamp is lit. Doing so may cause the lamp fail to light while you powering on the projector next time, or result in
premature deterioration of the lamp.
Note
fWhen using the Direct Power Off function, you cannot restart the projector immediately after disconnecting the power cord
from the wall outlet or turning off the power breaker switch. The lamp remains high temperature and needs to cool down, so
it sometimes takes a longer time than usual for the lamp to light up again.
