s p.45
You can also convert standard 2D images into 3D images.
s p.50
Adjusting Images to Suit your Surroundings (Color Mode)
By simply selecting the Color Mode, you can project the optimum image to suit your surroundings. s p.30
Setting Example

As well as using Color Mode, you can also adjust the color temperature of the image and skin tones to suit
your taste.
s p.35
What's more, you can obtain colors that match the image and achieve the colors you want through a
combination of gamma adjustment, RGB offset or gain adjustment for each color, and hue, saturation, and

Conforms to Wireless Transmissions for the WirelessHD Standards (EH-TW9200W/EH-
TW8200W Only)
The projector can wirelessly receive data for images from WirelessHD compatible AV devices. You do not
need to connect a cable directly to the main projector unit.
You can connect up to five AV devices to the WirelessHD Transmitter at the same time, and switch images
using the remote control.
You can also connect other output devices such as televisions, andswitch the device. This allows other output
devices to project images from the connected AV device, even if the projector is off.

Projector Transmitter Multi-media players, game consoles,
and so on
You can also connect MHL compatible smartphones or tablets with an MHL compatible cable. s p.21
Other Useful Functions
In addition, the following useful functions are provided.
•The remote control contains a backlight function allowing for easy use even in dark rooms. Operations are also
simplified by only pressing the button. sp.11
•Lens shift allows you to adjust the projection position when the projector cannot be setup directly in front of the
screen. The ability to move the projection position up, down, left, and right from in front of the screen without
changing the projection range, gives you more freedom to place the projector where you want. sp.28
•The Frame Interpolation function creates an intermediary image between one frame and the next rendering a
smoother, cleaner viewing experience, and removing jarring movements such as frame skipping. (EH-TW9200W/EH-
TW9200/EH-TW8200W/EH-TW8200 only) sp.38
•The Super-resolution function allows you to enjoy DVDs in high resolution. Also, low resolution areas (parts that are
blurred) of full hi-vision images become smoother and sharper. sp.39

Installing
Various Projection Methods
Warning
•A special method of installation is required when suspending the projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If
it is not installed correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
•If you use adhesives, lubricants, or oil on the ceiling mount fixing points to prevent screws from loosening,
or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall
from its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under the projector and also damage the
projector.
•Do not setup the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions to occur.
•Try not to setup the projector in locations subject to high humidity and dust, or in locations subject to smoke
from fires or tobacco smoke.
Attention
Clean the air filter once every three months. Clean it more often if the environment is particularly dusty.

Using lens shift
With lens shift, you can adjust the projection position up,
down, left, and right.
This allows you to make easy adjustments without distorting
the image, even if you cannot setup the projector directly in
front of the screen.

Adjusting the Projection Size
The size of the projection increases as the projector is moved away from the screen. Use the table below to
setup the projector at the optimum position from the screen. The values given here are for your reference only.

Connecting a Device
Attention
•Make cable connections before connecting to a power outlet.
•Check the shape of the cable's connector and the shape of the port, and then connect. If you force a connector
of a different shape into the port, it could cause damage and a malfunction to occur.
EH-TW9200W/EH-TW8200W comes with an interface cover allowing you to clearly see the connector section
on the rear. Remove the interface cover before connecting any cables.

Connecting Video Equipment
To project images from DVD players or VHS video and so on, connect to the projector using one of the
following methods.
When using an HDMI cable
Fix the HDMI cable in place using the HDMI cable clamp. (EH-TW9200W/EH-TW9200/EH-TW8200W/EH-TW8200
only) sp.22
When using a video cable
When using a component video cable
c
•The cable differs depending on the output signal from the connected video equipment.
•Some types of video equipment are capable of outputting different types of signals. Check the user's
guide supplied with the video equipment to confirm which signals can be output.
•Since this projector has no built-in speaker, connect your AV system to enjoy the audio from connected
equipment.
