Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are unstable. • If the projector is placed on top of a surface which is sloped or unstable, it may fall down or tip over, and injury or damage could result.
• If any water gets inside the projector, contact an Authorized Service Center. Do not insert any foreign objects into the projector. • Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the projector or drop them onto the projector, as doing so can result in fire or electric shocks.
Ask an Authorized Service Center to clean inside the projector at least once a year. • If dust is left to build up inside the projector without being cleaned out, it can result in fire or problems with operation. • It is a good idea to clean the inside of the projector before the season for humid weather arrives. Ask your nearest Authorized Service Center to clean the projector when required.
6 hours every day, you may have to replace optical parts, such as LCD panels or polarizers within less than one year. When you use the projector in such a case, ask your dealer or an Authorized Service Center for details.
Example of System up The projector features a wealth of interface ports and optional parts that can be used to set up the projection system in diverse ways. The following presents some of those setup examples: System 1 Picture brightness can be doubled by stacking two projectors with the stacking brackets.
Use to select from the functions listed on the “OPTION2” screen that can be chosen from the MAIN MENU. ID SET button (page 15) Use to set the projector ID when multiple PT-L6510U/ L6600U projectors are used in the system. Mode switch (Computer/Projector) (page 16) When controlling the projector, set this switch to the Projector (right) side.

The signal applied to the DVI-D input port appears at this port (24-pin DVI connector). WIRED IN/OUT ports (page 17) Use to connect multiple PT-L6510U/L6600U projectors in a daisy chain to simultaneously control them from a single wired remote control. (M3 jack)
The remote control should normally be aimed at either the front or rear remote control receiver window on the projector (fig. 1). Otherwise it may also be aimed at the screen, which will reflect commands back to the projector's front receiver window as illustrated in figure 2.
3. Select the ID number you wish and then press the “ENTER” button. Note • The projector ID number in the remote control is set to “ALL” by default. It is therefore not necessary to set a projector ID number when only one projector is used.

Wired Remote Control Cable. The wired remote control is particularly useful if the projector is sited in a place where it is exposed to intense ambient light or if an object blocks the path of IR light from the Remote Control.
Setting-up Projection Schemes Any of the following four projection schemes can be used with the PT-L6510U/L6600U projector depending on user's needs or viewing conditions. Use “OPTION 1” menu (chosen from the MAIN MENU) to choose the appropriate projection scheme (see page 34).
• The projector contains built-in speakers. When greater sound output is required, use an audio amplifier connected to the projector's AUDIO OUT jack. Once the cable is plugged into the AUDIO OUT jack, the audio signal lines to the internal speakers are automatically cut off.
RGB audio input is available for the RGB1, RGB2 and DVI-D. You will need to change audio input connections depending on your signal selection. • If your audio equipment is connected to the projector's AUDIO OUT jack, the remote control supplied with the projector can be used to control volume, balance, and mute on the audio output line.
• When the projector's main power is turned OFF, also turn OFF all the PCs connected to it. • *1 An asterisk denotes that the second projector requires positioning if the RGB outputs are connected in a daisy chain. However, the signals should be divided at the signal source if possible.
RGB 1 IN DVI-D Caution • *1 An asterisk denotes that the second projector requires positioning if the RGB outputs are connected in a daisy chain. However, the signals should be divided at the signal source if possible. Note • Read the operating instructions for the system switcher carefully.
Adjust volume level with the “VOLUME (+/-)” buttons. --- [Remote control] For volume level control on the projector, see page 27. If your audio equipment is connected to the AUDIO OUT jack, the VOLUME control adjusts the line output level.
• If the picture has keystone distortion, do keystone adjustment from the menu. (page 32) <Retracting the Leveling Feet> While lifting the front side of the projector, raise the Leveling lever, and then slowly lower the unit. LEVELING feet the Picture...
Using the Shutter function The shutter function can be used to momentarily turn off the picture and sound from the projector when the projector is not being used for short periods of time, such as during breaks in meetings or when carring out preparation. The projector uses less power in shutter mode than it does in normal projection mode.
