CANON REALiS WX6500 D - Caution - 1

Caution

Pay attention to the following points when installing or using the projector.

- Be careful of condensation. If the projector is abruptly taken to a warmer location, or if the room temperature rises abruptly, moisture in the air may condense on the lens and mirror, causing the image to become blurred.

- Do not install the projector in a location where the temperature is high or low. Doing so may cause a malfunction. Ranges for the environment of use and storage are as follows.

  • Environment of use: 0^ (32°F) to 40^ (104°F), up to 85% RH
  • Storage temperature: -30^ (-22°F) to 60^ (140°F)

- When using the projector at altitudes above 2,300 m (7,545.8'), or when projecting upward or downward:

Adjust projector installation settings from the menu (P108). Failure to adjust the settings may shorten the lamp life or damage the lamp.

  • Do not install the projector facing the wrong direction. Install the projector so that it is not tilted left or right by more than 10^ . (P25)
  • Do not block the air intake or exhaust vents. Blocking the vents may trap heat inside the projector, which may shorten the useful life of optical components or other parts and damage the projector.
    • Install the projector leaving at least 50 cm (1.6') between air intake/exhaust vents and walls. Failure to do so may trap heat inside the projector and damage it.
  • Do not place any objects on top of the projector that may change shape or color due to heat.
  • Do not install the projector in a location that is damp, or where there is a lot of dust, oily smoke or tobacco smoke. Doing so could cause contamination of optical components such as the lens and the mirror and may result in deterioration of image quality.
  • Do not install the projector near high-voltage electrical power lines or an electrical power source.
  • Clean the air filter regularly. (P171) Dust that accumulates inside over long periods without cleaning may eventually damage the projector or affect picture quality.

  • The projector conforms to Class 1 as defined in PJLink standards established by the Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association (JBMIA). This projector supports all commands that are defined by PJLink Class 1, and has been verified as conforming to the PJLink standard Class 1 definition.
  • For details on using PJLink, see "Setting PJLink [PJLink]" (P150).

In September 2003, the PJLink Working Group was established under the Data Projector Committee. During the first year, this PJLink Working Group standardized PJLink as a new interface specification for projectors.

PJLink is a unified standard for operation and control of projectors.

It allows centralized control of projectors and operation from a controller for all projectors regardless of manufacturer.

The objective is for JBMIA to improve convenience for users and expand the use of projectors through early systemization for network monitoring and control of projectors, which will become the mainstream in the future.

Class 1: Standardization of control and monitoring specifications for basic projector functions

Basic projector control: Power control, input selection, etc.

Acquisition of projector information and status: Power status, input selection status, error status, lamp use time, etc.

JBMIA: Japan Business Machine and Information System Industries Association.

The JBMIA is an organization which was launched in 1960 and changed its name on April 1, 2002.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - 2Set [Marker] to [On]. - 1

By default, the green and red markers are displayed in the same position, so only the red marker is visible.

3Adjust [Start position] for the side where images overlap. Move the start marker to the outer edge of the overlapping area.

4Adjust [Width]. Move the end marker to the inner edge of the overlapping area.

The area between the starting and ending markers is called the blending area. Shading is applied to this area, and the brightness is adjusted to match portions that overlap with other areas. After you complete settings for one image, do the same thing for the other one to specify the blending area. Adjust the settings to make the blending area for each image the same.

5Set [Marker] to [Off].

■Color Adjustment

In overlapping projection, portions of images in the overlapping area that pick up other colors or are miscolored may be more noticeable. You can make this overlapping area appear less distracting by performing Color blending adjustment.

1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge blending] > [Adjust] > [Color blending adjustment] > [Adjust].

2As you watch the image, adjust the value to eliminate unwanted colors in the overlapping area.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - ■Color Adjustment - 1

text_image Color blending adjustment White +0 Red +0 Green +0 Blue +0 Return

First adjust red, green, and blue together by changing the [White] value, and then adjust [Red], [Green], and [Blue] values individually.

3Repeat this adjustment on all projectors.

■Black Level Adjustment

In overlapping projection, dark colors are projected with less intensity than other colors in the overlapping area. You can make this overlapping area less distracting by adjusting the black level of non-overlapping image areas.

text_image Area where dark colors look lighter Position of end marker (hidden) D-area Blending area

Here, the non-overlapping image area (from the end marker toward the center of the image) is called area "D."

Normally, three areas are identified in the context of end markers: A, B, and C. In the following instructions, only area D is adjusted, and the widths of A, B, and C are left at the default value of 0.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - ■Black Level Adjustment - 2

To prepare for adjustment, set [No signal screen] to [Black], start projection with no input signal, and turn off the room lights, so that you can check dark image areas. (P117)

1In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge blending] > [Adjust] > [Black level adjustment] > [Adjust].
2Select [Adjustment type] > [Black level].
3After selecting [D-area base], as you watch the image, adjust the values so that the brightness and colors of the blending area and area D match.

Adjust [D-area base] to lighten the black level, and adjust [Red], [Green], and [Blue] to obtain an optimal black level color tone, as needed.

4 Repeat this adjustment on all projectors.

■ Smoother Overlapping Areas

The black level along the right edge of area D (along the blending area) may be more noticeable than that of surrounding areas.

By adjusting the black level of area B, you can make the transition smoother.

To compensate, adjust each area as follows.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - ■ Smoother Overlapping Areas - 1

text_image Left image CBA

D-area Blending area

Position of end marker (hidden)

Area A: Black level cannot be adjusted.

Area B: Adjust to a black level different from that of area D.

Area C: Adjust to provide a smooth transition relative to the black levels of areas B and D.

Areas C-A (default: 0)

When the projected image has multiple blending areas (on the top, bottom, and each side), the width of areas A, B, and C must be adjusted to suit these blending areas.

In this example, instructions are given for adjusting area B.

1 In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge blending] > [Adjust] > [Black level adjustment] > [Adjust].
2Select [Adjustment type] > [Area] > [Side] > [Right].
3Select [B-width], and then specify the width of area B.

Adjust the width of area B to roughly match the area where the black level is noticeable.

This will make the width of area D narrower.

Results of adjusting the black level of area B are applied to all sides.

5As you watch the image, adjust the width of areas A, B, and C.

6Readjust the black level of area B, as needed.

• To reduce distracting colors and colors that are out of alignment in areas where the images overlap, perform [Color blending adjustment] targeting the main tone in the envisaged projected image.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - 6Readjust the black level of area B, as needed. - 1

  • If you perform adjustments using [Color blending adjustment] or other menus, that may not eliminate the distracting colors and differences in brightness in areas where the images overlap.
  • Blending can be fine-tuned by adjusting [Adjustment type] > [Black level] > [Red], [Green], and [Blue].

■Corner Adjustment

Projected images from multiple projectors used in overlapping projection must be precisely repositioned. Positions of each corner in the blending area can be aligned with the blending area of the reference projector.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - ■Corner Adjustment - 1

  • First, complete [Side] adjustment as described in "Basic Instructions" (P162).
  • Sides set to an edge-blending width of 12 or more can be adjusted when [Keystone] is set to [Corner adjustment] and the aspect ratio is [16:10].
    • To reset adjustment, use [Keystone] (P106).
  • A small edge-blending width may limit the amount of adjustment available.

1 On the reference projector, configure keystone (P106) and edge-blending (P109) settings, and then set the edge-blending markers to [On] (P163).
2In the [Install settings] menu, select [Professional settings] > [Edge blending] > [Adjust] > [Corner adjustment].
3Select a point to adjust, and move it so that the image as a whole looks symmetrical.

Troubleshooting

Cleaning the Projector and the Air Filter

Clean the projector frequently to prevent dust from settling on the surface.

A dirty lens may ruin the quality of the projected image.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - Cleaning the Projector and the Air Filter - 1

Before cleaning the projector, always turn it off, unplug it after the cooling fan stops, and wait at least one hour. Otherwise, you may get burned because the main unit is very hot immediately after the projector is turned off.

Wipe the projector's main unit softly with a soft cloth.

If the projector is heavily soiled, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of detergent in it, squeeze the cloth thoroughly, and then wipe the projector with it.

After cleaning, wipe the projector with a dry cloth.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - Cleaning the Projector and the Air Filter - 3

  • Never use volatile cleaning liquid or benzine, as these may damage the finish of the projector.
  • When using a chemical dust cloth, make sure to read the instructions thoroughly.
  • When cleaning the projector's lens, use a commonly available air blower or lens cleaning paper. The lens surface is easily damaged, so do not use a hard cloth or tissues.

Request Internal Cleaning Regularly

Dust that accumulates over long periods without cleaning may eventually cause fire or electric shock. Once a year, request internal cleaning from the Canon Customer Support Center. (Note that a fee is charged.) Cleaning before damp, rainy seasons is especially effective.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter protects the lens and mirror inside the projector from dust and dirt. Should the air filter become clogged with dust, the projector may be damaged since it will block the air flow into the projector and raise the internal temperature of the projector. The following screen is displayed when turning on the projector if the air filter needs to be cleaned. Clean the air filter if it is displayed.

Precautions when replacing lamps that stop working If the illumination suddenly stops when the projector is in use or after you turn it on, the lamp may be broken. In this case, never attempt to replace the lamp by yourself. Always request service from the qualified technician or Canon Customer Support Center. Additionally, with ceiling-mounted projectors, the lamp may fall out when you open the lamp cover or while you are attempting to replace it. During replacement, stand to the side of the lamp cover, not directly under it. If the lamp breaks and any glass shards or other pieces get in your eyes or mouth, consult a doctor immediately.

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - Replacement Lamp - 2

Before replacing the lamp, always turn off the projector, unplug it after the cooling fan stops, and wait at least one hour. Do not touch the lamp immediately after turning the projector off. It is very hot initially and poses a risk of burns.

  • Be sure to use the specified lamp.
  • Contact the Canon Customer Support Center for further information. This can also be purchased from the Canon website.
  • Do not touch the inner glass surface when you replace the lamp. Doing so may cause deterioration to the projector's performance.
  • Handle lamps with care. Impact or abrasion may cause lamps to rupture while they are in use. If a lamp ruptures, contact the Canon Customer Support Center and follow the instructions in “Note the following precautions when replacing lamps that stop working. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.” (P18).
  • When replacing the lamp, do not remove any screws other than those specified.

Installing / Removing the Lens Unit

■Installing the Lens Unit

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - ■Installing the Lens Unit - 1

  • Before installing or removing the lens unit, be sure to disconnect the power plug or connector. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
  • When hanging the projector from a ceiling, put the projector down on the floor or a workbench before attaching or replacing the lens unit. Failure to do so could result in parts falling off the projector and may cause an accident or personal injury.
  • Do not touch the lens when the lens is moving (the lens is shifting) to adjust the projected image after installation. There is the risk of injury.
  • Before replacing the lens unit, make sure to turn off the projector, wait at least 1 hour to allow the projector to cool thoroughly. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injuries.
  • Do not attempt to install or remove the lens unit yourself. Be sure to request this service from a qualified technician or contact the Canon Customer Support Center.
  • When installing and removing the lens unit, be sure not to touch the surface of the lens with your hands or scratch it.
  • Do not apply force to parts (e.g. lead wires) that are connected to the lens unit or lens motor. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
  • Do not replace the lens unit in a dusty location. If any dust or dirt enters the projector, this may adversely affect picture quality.
  • When carrying or holding up the projector after attaching the lens unit, be sure not to hold the lens. Doing so may cause damage to the lens unit.
  • If transportation is necessary, the lens unit should be removed before transporting the projector. If the projector is subjected to excessive impacts during transportation, the lens unit may be damaged.
  • For details about which devices the projector is compatible with, contact the Canon Customer Support Center.

Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect

This section describes the relationship between screen aspect (P63) and aspect (P65).

Select an optimum aspect ratio of the projected image (screen aspect) or an optimum screen mode (aspect) according to the aspect ratio of the screen, type of input image signal and so on for the projection to make best use of the screen size.

  • If a computer image with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is not projected correctly when the setting is [Auto], select [16:9] as the screen aspect.
  • For a 16:9 image with black borders at the top and bottom, such as a terrestrial broadcast movie, you can project the 16:9 image area so that it is projected on the entire screen by selecting [Zoom] in [Aspect].

CANON REALiS WX6500 D - Relationship between Aspect and Screen Aspect - 1

natural_image Diagram showing a mountain silhouette transforming into a simplified mountain silhouette, with a blue arrow indicating transformation (no text or symbols)

There may be some cases that [Zoom] cannot be selected depending on the input signal and/or resolution.

- For keystone correction (P67), select an option other than [4:3 D. image shift] or [16:9 D. image shift] for Screen aspect.
