You may not need an HDMI splitter if your 3D compatible device is equipped with 2 HDMI outputs.
This system comes equipped with a function that allows you
to easily superimpose two images.

Part Names and Functions (Front/Top)
When two projectors are assembled in a stacked conguration, the projector on top is called the“Commander”, and the projector on the bottom is called the
“Receiver.” When suspended from a ceiling, the projector on top is the receiver, and the projector on the bottom is the commander.
The commander controls the receiver, and the projectors are linked together (with the included USB cable). You can operate both projectors at the same time
from the commander’s control panel.

when suspending the projectors
from a ceiling. See the User's Guide
supplied with the ceiling mount
for more information on attaching
and installing the ceiling mount.
This guide explains the following
connection methods. See
the online User's Guide for
information on other connection
methods.

For ceiling mount installation only

Turn over the commander and the receiver, and then attach the polarizing
lters.
Press until they click into place.
Attach the front foot and the rear
feet to the base of the receiver.
Turn the feet to extend and
retract to adjust the horizontal
tilt.
Carefully remove the protective
tape from the stack angle
adjustment screws, and then
remove the screws (on both the
left and right sides).
Secure the polarizing lters for
the commander and the receiver
with the supplied screws. Do not
overtighten the screws.
Stacking and
installing the
commander and the
receiver
Use the stacking
mounts to create a
stacked conguration
(one projector on top of
the other).
Setting Up
Loosen the screws for the commander's stacking mount connector (on
both the left and right sides).
3Stack the commander on top of the receiver.
1Attach the polarizing lters to the commander and the receiver.
2Attach the feet (when
setting up on a desk).
Warning
When assembling a
stacked conguration,
make sure you follow
these steps. If the
steps are not followed
correctly, the product
could fall, or your ngers
could get caught, which
could cause an injury.
There are numbers
on the bases of
the projectors, stacking
mounts, and polarizing
lters. Make sure the
numbers match when
assembling.
Commander
Receiver

Place the screws into the holes, and then tighten them securely (on both
the left and right sides). Then tighten the commander's stacking mount
screws as well.
Attach the commander to the receiver by sliding the commander’s
stacking mount screws into the slots in the receiver’s stacking mount.
Then lightly tighten the screws (on both the left and right sides) to secure
the attachment.
4Secure the stacking mount angle adjustment with screws. 5Remove the clear
protective lm from the
polarizing lters.
Caution
When attaching the
commander to the
receiver, be careful not to
trap your ngers.
Place marking
stickers on the
positions where the
screws are secured. You
can then use these marks
when reassembling.
99999
There are screw holes
numbered 1 to 4 on
the left and right of the
stacking mount.
You can change the
commander's projection
angle by changing the
position secured by the
screw.
See "Screen Size and
Projection Distance"
on page 18 to determine
which screw hole to use.
