The runtime may be shorter than the estimation due to the inuence of characteristics of each light source, conditions of use, installation
environment, etc.

If the consolidated runtime of the projector exceeds 20 000 hours, replacement of the components inside the projector may be required. The
consolidated runtime can be conrmed in the
[STATUS]
screen. Refer to the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu

[STATUS] for details.
[LIGHT OUTPUT]

[LIGHT OUTPUT] cannot be adjusted if [OPERATING MODE] is set to [LONG LIFE1], [LONG LIFE2] or [LONG LIFE3] and the [PROJECTOR

In such a case when conguring multiple screens with multiple projectors, uniformity of brightness between multiple screens can be obtained
by adjusting [LIGHT OUTPUT].
[BRIGHTNESS CONTROL]
The projector is equipped with a brightness sensor to measure brightness and color of the light source, and
corrects brightness and white balance of the projected image according to the changes in brightness and color of
the light source.
By using this function, in such a condition that multiple screens are congured using multiple projectors, you can
reduce changes in overall brightness and white balance of the multiple screens due to aging of the light source
and suppress variation in brightness and white balance to preserve uniformity.
Set the administrator accounts (user name and password) of all linked projectors to the same when performing
brightness control of multiple projectors in synchronization.
