Features

This projector can be used with another projector of the same model to project an

image on the same screen using the Instant Stack feature.

The two projectors can be operated simultaneously to make the image brighter.

Moreover, if you connect two projectors with RS-232C cross-over cable, it turns to

a kind of intellectual stacking system. The two projectors can work alternately by

themselves, and once one projector has an accident the other voluntarily starts to

work to keep your presentation going.

These features, generically called Instant Stack, provide you with the broad use.

1. Introduction

1.1 Basic information and preparations

Instant Stack

Instant Stack is a feature that allows you to superimpose images projected from

two projectors easily.

Intellectual Stack and Simple Stack

Instant Stack includes the following two features.

When two projectors are connected via an RS-232C cable with necessary set-

tings performed on the projectors, these two projectors will automatically operate

in synchronization with each other according to the settings. This is known as

Intellectual Stack in this manual.

The two projectors operate individually without the RS-232C connection. This is

known as Simple Stack in this manual.

Remote control for Intellectual Stack and Simple Stack

For Intellectual Stack, one projector is set as Main and the other is set as Sub.

Only the Main projector is capable of receiving the remote control signals.

Operate

the projectors from the control panel of the Main projector or with the remote control

pointing at the Main projector. For details on operating by remote control and from

the control panel, refer to 3.7 Important Information for Intellectual Stack.

For Simple

Stack, both projectors can receive the remote control signals.

To avoid incorrect operations with the remote control, it is recommended to

operate both projectors with the control panel or a wired remote control, or one

projector with the remote control and the other with the control panel or a wired

remote control. In this case, disable the remote control receiving on the other

projector with the KEY LOCK feature. (Operating Guide → OPTION menu)

If you require more information on Instant Stack, please consult your dealer.

CAUTION ► Place the projector in a cool place with sufcient ventilation.

Keep a space of 30 cm or more between a side of the projector and other

objects such as a wall. Keep a space of 30 cm or more between the two

projectors, especially if you are installing the projectors side by side. Take care

not to let the hot exhaust air from other projectors enter the intake vents of the

projector.

WARNING ► Do not place projectors directly on top of other projectors.

1.1 Basic information and preparations (continued)

NOTICE ► Intellectual Stack can be operated only in pairs of the same model

projectors.

► A maximum of two projectors can be used as Intellectual Stack.

► Depending on the installation and surrounding environment, images

projected from the two projectors may not superimpose well enough. The

images cannot superimpose well enough especially when the screen is slanted,

deformed or the surface is uneven.

• Images projected immediately after turning on the projectors are unstable due

to rising internal temperature. Wait for more than 20 minutes before starting

to adjust the superimposed images.

• The image positions may shift due to temperature change, vibration, or shock

caused by hitting the projector. Install the projectors in a stable environment

when using Instant Stack. If the image positions are shifted, readjust the

images. (

6, 8, 11

)

• The image positions may shift over time due to the tension and the weight of

the connecting cables. Make sure not to impose any load on the projectors

when arranging the cables.

• If the volume level of the built-in speakers is too high, noise may occur and

the image quality may deteriorate. In this case, check the volume setting on

both projectors.

• When two projectors are connected using the RS-232C cable, the Main

projector will be able to control the Sub projector. This feature is known as

Intellectual Stack. (

) When Intellectual Stack by means of RS-232C

feature is used, RS-232C communication cannot be used to control the

projector. If you wish to control the projectors from a computer, use the LAN

connection that is connected to any of the projectors.

• When Intellectual Stack is used, the operations or settings of some functions

are restricted. Refer to this manual for details. (

LX501/LX601i/LW401/LW551i/LWU421/LWU501i

For safety reasons, read 1.1 Basic information and preparations (

3, 4

) carefully

before installation. In addition, take note of the followings for proper use of Instant

Stack.

● Use the same model projectors.

● Arrange the projectors side by side.

● Make sure the projection screen is

perpendicular to the projectors.

● Project images larger than the recommended

screen size shown in the table. The greater

the distance between the projectors, the

larger the screen size needs to be.

● If you control one projector with the remote control during installation, it is

recommended to operate the other with the control panel or a

wired remote

control. In this case, disable the remote control receiving on the other projector with

the KEY LOCK feature. (Operating Guide → OPTION menu)

● Images from Set A and Set B may superimpose well but the image positions

can shift over time.

Readjust to superimpose the images.

2.1 Preparing for Intellectual Stack

When using Intellectual Stack via RS-232C connection, ensure the following settings

are set on the two projectors. Otherwise, the Intellectual Stack menu cannot be

operated.

● STANDBY MODE in SETUP menu: NORMAL

(Operating Guide → SETUP menu)

● COMMUNICATION TYPE under COMMUNICATION in SERVICE menu: OFF

(Operating Guide → OPTION menu)

● STACK LOCK in SECURITY menu: OFF

When STACK LOCK is set to on, menus related to Instant Stack cannot be operated.

It is therefore necessary to set it to off during installation and menu setting.

(1) Use the ▲/▼/◄/► buttons to go into the following menu.

ADVANCED MENU > SECURITY (> ENTER PASSWORD) > STACK LOCK

STACK LOCK dialog will appear on screen. (Operating

Guide → SECURITY menu)

(2) Use the ▲/▼ buttons to highlight OFF, and press the ►

button to complete the setting.
