Keystone Adjustments

What is Keystoning?

“Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen,
or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results

from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square.

Digital Keystone Adjustments

By adding a special, selectable algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors
are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens. The result is a

squared image, even at an angle.

39

Keystone Adjustments FAQ

How to Correct Keystone

• If the image looks trapezoidal with
the base larger (as pictured right),
press the bottom button on the
directional pad on the top of the
P6 until the keystone effect
corrects and the picture turns into

a square projection.

• If the image looks trapezoidal with

the top larger (as pictured right),
press the top button on the
directional pad on the top of the
P6 until the keystone effect
corrects and the picture turns into

a square projection.

Troubleshooting

IMAGE IS BLURRED

Possible Causes Solution

The Projector is not in focus Adjust the focus with the focus adjustment dial

until the image comes into focus

The Projector is offset from plane / angle of
operation

NO SYNC, NO SIGNAL

1. Be sure to setup the computer to enable a video signal output. On some lap­tops this is done by pressing and holding Function F5 key. If using the P6 as
an external monitor on Windows based systems, this can be done by se-lecting
“extend my desktop to this monitor”. The native resolution of the P6 projector
is 1280x800. Depending on the video driver different resolutions may need to
be selected for proper output.

Move the projector so that it is both 180 degrees
and on an evern plane with the screen. Or it can be
adjusted by keystone settings
