INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY (10) Attach the adjuster (BEF1011) attached with a nut (M8) to the rear holders R and L (BNG1205 and 1206). (11) While tilting the parts assembled at step 10, insert it into the holes on the shoulder of the multi-projection unit and attach with the screws (3 12).
• This system cannot be placed facing upwards or downwards and diagonally. Always place it horizontally. However, Multiprojection unit (RM-V4000V/V5000V) alone can be tilted at the top, bottom, left, and right up to 90 deg. Installation of special order screens and cabinets should also become possible in the near future.

ADJUSTMENTS (3) White Balance Adjustment Memory ADJUSTMENTS has altogether six white balance adjustment memories. Color mode 1 (Normal) Color mode 2 (Re-expose) Four memories can be actually adjusted except the factory shipment memory. The factory shipment memory contains the normal white balance adjustment data and re-expose white balance adjustment data. By setting to color mode 1 using the rear panel switch, etc., the white balance adjustment data can be switched by synchroniz- ing with input switching.

(6) Giving IDs When several Multi projection units are used to compose the 9 screens or 16 screens (multi-screen), the ID is used to differen- tiate between Multi projection units. When the units are given IDs, by connecting the ABL link cable, commands can be transmitted by specifying the ID, and it is possible to operate only Multi projection unit corresponding to that ID by remote control operations.

6 H BLK L adjustment Output all three colors R,G,B, observe the left side of the screen , and adjust with H BLK L so that the color stops deviating. NOTE There are points at which the screen does not move even though the H BLK L value changes. This is not a malfunction. NOTE After adjusting H BLK L , the left side of the screen may be smaller than the right side of the screen.
