Why is a filter warning icon displayed on the projection screen?
This means that the time set in [Expand] -> [Filter counter] -> [Timer] on the main menu has been reached, and you are being prompted to clean the air filter unit. Before cleaning the filter, be sure to turn off the power. You can clear this warning by navigating to the main menu, selecting [Yes] in [Expand] -> [Filter counter] -> [Filter counter reset], and pressing the ENTER button to reset the filter counter. After this setting adjustment is performed, the filter usage time will reset and the warning will disappear.

How do I check lamp usage time?
You can check the number of hours on your lamp light source by selecting [Lamp counter] on the information screen menu by pressing the INFO. button. You can also check it by selecting [Info.] via the main menu.
Is it possible to control multiple projectors with a single remote control?
Yes, up to six projectors can be controlled individually or simultaneously with one remote control by first setting the remote control code. To set up the projector, select [ALL] or a value from [Code 1] to [Code 6] in the [Expand] -> [Remote control] list in the main menu. To set up the remote control, press the IMAGE button 1–6 times while simultaneously pressing and holding the MENU button. The number of times the IMAGE button is pressed corresponds to the remote control code as follows: Code 1 = one press, Code 2 = two presses, Code 3 = three presses, Code 4 = four presses, Code 5 = five presses, Code 6 = six presses. When the MENU button is released, the remote control code will change. If the MENU and IMAGE buttons are pressed and held at the same time for more than five seconds, the remote control code is reset to [ALL] (default), and all projectors can be controlled regardless of the ID number setting of the projector.
Are the zoom, focus, and lens-shift adjustments electric powered?
No, the zoom, focus, and lens-shift adjustments are manual.
