  The STACK menu may not function if the projector settings are not configured for the Intellectual Stack feature. Check these settings on both the Main and Sub projectors: STANDBY MODE in the SETUP menu should be set to NORMAL, COMMUNICATION TYPE under COMMUNICATION in the SERVICE menu should be OFF, and STACK LOCK in the SECURITY menu should be OFF.

Check the connection of cables and ensure the cable connection matches...
