Adjusting Colour for Several Projectors (Multi-Screen Colour Adjustment)
When several projectors are lined up and projecting images, you can
adjust the brightness and colour tone of each projector's image with
multi-screen colour adjustment so that the colours of images from
each projector match closely.
In some cases the brightness and colour tone may not match
completely even after adjustment.
23
Setting Screen ID
For instance, after setting one projector as screen ID3, when you press
button [3] while holding down the [Num] button, even if there is more
than one projector setup, you can operate just the one set as screen ID3.
Procedure
Summary of Adjustment Procedure
Make adjustments according to the following procedure.
1. Setting screen ID
Before setting up the projectors, set one screen ID for each.
When making adjustments for two or more projectors using the remote
control, you can operate them individually by setting individual screen
IDs for each projector.
2. Making image corrections
After the projectors are setup, you can adjust the image for each
projector.
Using Image Correction you can adjust from black to white in five
stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each level 1 to 5 you can adjust the
following two points.
• Adjusting brightness

Security Functions
The projector has the following security functions.
• Password Protect
You can limit who can use the projector.
• Operation Lock
You can prevent people changing the settings on the projector
without permission.
Managing Users (Password Protect)
When Password Protect is activated, people who do not know the
password cannot use the projector to project images even if the projector
power is on. Furthermore, the user's logo that is displayed when you turn
on the projector cannot be changed. This acts as an anti-theft device as the
projector cannot be used even if it is stolen. At the time of purchase,
Password Protect is not activated.
f Type of Password Protect
The following four kinds of password protect settings can be made
according to how the projector is being used.
1. "Power On Protect"
When "Power On Protect" is "On", the password must be entered
whenever the projector is turned on after it has been disconnected from
the power supply it was connected to the last time the password was
entered.
If the correct password is not entered, projection does not start.
2. "Password Timer"
When "Password Timer" is set to "On" and a time limit is set, the
projector requests the password after the time limit has passed.
26
3. "User's Logo Protect"
When "User's Logo Protect" is set to "On" the user's logo cannot be
changed and the following setting changes for user's logo are
prohibited.
• Capturing a user's logo
• Settings for "Display Background", "Startup Screen", and "A/V
Mute" from "Display" on the configuration menu.
4. "Network Protect" (EMP-1715/1705 only)

Installation Methods
The projector supports the following four different projection methods.
Attention
• A special method of installation is required when suspending the
projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed
correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
• If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on
the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from
its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under
the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use
adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils
or lubricants and so on.
• Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions
to occur.
53
• Project images from in front
of the screen. (Front
projection)
• Project images from behind a
translucent screen. (Rear
projection)
• Suspend the projector from
the ceiling and project images
from in front of the screen.
(Front/Ceiling projection)
• Suspend the projector from
the ceiling and project images
from behind a translucent
screen. (Rear/Ceiling
projection)
• An optional ceiling mount is required when suspending
the projector from a ceiling. s p.64
• You can change the setting as follows by pressing down the
[A/V Mute] button on the remote control for about five
seconds.
"Front" W "Front/Ceiling"
"Rear" W "Rear/Ceiling" s p.35
• When set to "Front/Ceiling" or "Rear/Ceiling", you
cannot disconnect the power cable immediately because
cool down is performed after the power is turned off.
s p.35
Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of
projected images starts to deteriorate.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface
Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water
containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the
cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.
54
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature
of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation
and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter
immediately when the message is displayed.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to
clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or
become discoloured.
Cleaning the Lens
Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning classes to gently wipe the
lens.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent
Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is
displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent,
and clean or replace the air filter." s "How to replace the air filter" p.59
• If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it
is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air
filter. s p.59
• It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once
every three months. Clean them more often than this if
using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Replacing Consumables
This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the
lamp, and the air filter.
55
B Replace the old batteries with new batteries.
Attention
Replacing the Remote Control Batteries
Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery
holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not
operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the
batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new
batteries. Have two spare AAA-size alkali batteries ready to use when
required.
Attention
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty
Terms before handling the batteries. s Safety Instructions
C Replace the battery cover.
Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.
Procedure
A Remove the battery cover.
While pushing the battery compartment cover catch, lift the cover
up.

f Lamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
• The message "Replace the lamp." is displayed when you start
projecting.
A message is displayed.
• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following
time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality
of the projected images. s "Brightness Control" p.34
·When used continually at high brightness: About 1900 hours
·When used continually at low brightness: About 2900 hours
• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has
passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When
the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a
new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has
been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before
the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a
spare lamp ready incase it is needed.
• The lamp indicator flashes orange.
f How to replace the lamp
Attention
Flashing orange
• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
• When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating,
there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on
the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken,
and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath
it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall
out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your
eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
• Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing
the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may
result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off
for the lamp to be cool enough.

In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording
medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.

The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in
the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.
The security slot is compatible with the Microsaver Security System manufactured by Kensington. You can find details about the
Microsaver Security System on the Kensington homepage http://www.kensington.com/.
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called
Tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal.
A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer.
A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single
image.
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image
must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
List of ESC/VP21 Commands
Command List
Cable Layouts
When the power ON command is transmitted to the projector, the power
turns on and it enters warm-up mode. When the projector's power has
turned on, a colon ":" (3Ah) is returned.
When a command is input, the projector executes the command and
returns a ":", and then accepts the next command.
If the command being processed terminates abnormally, an error message
is output and a ":" is returned.
