2.6 Lens Offset and Picture Focus
Lens Offset
The optimum image can be obtained when this projector is place perpendicular to the projection screen. The lens
offset is xed to 50%, that means that the projector can be placed either at the top or at the bottom of the picture
as shown in the below picture.
This unit comes with a vertical offset xed to +50%. It means that the optimal position of this projector
is at the bottom or top of your screen. Placing the unit in one of these positions prevents the use of
electronic trapezoidal correction and will give the best picture quality.
If the projector is not installed perpendicularly to the screen, use keystone correction to fulll your screen. You can
also use up to +/- 30° up and down keystone correction. Note that using keystone correction is not recommended
if you want the best image quality.
Picture Focus
Adjust the picture focus with the focus adjustment tab located on the top cabinet of this unit as shown below.

8.2 Network Information
Understanding the Network Installation
The Dreamy Geek can be connected to internet using any Ethernet plug available in your house. The Ethernet
plug must be itself connected to a switch or rooter with an available internet access. Generally, the internet access
is granted from a wealthy rooter connection. If you have trouble connecting to internet double check with your ISP
R699831 - Dreamy Geek User Manual 15
SeLeCtIng an audIo/VIdeo SourCe
(Internet Service Provider) that your connection is working. If you don’t have Ethernet plugs in your house, your
ISP would generally lend a modem used to log to the internet network. The modem has rooter capabilities and
Ethernet plugs that can be used to connect the Dreamy Geek to the internet.
Automatic or Fixed IP Address
The default setting is DHCP and it lets the rooter decides which IP is assigned to the Dreamy Geek. That means
that the IP address of this unit is not xed and may change after a reboot. Therefore, the access to this unit will
use the authentication name on the network.
If you plan to connect to your projector using programs that require a xed IP, you should set manually the
Network settings in the menu: Home Screen > Settings > Net and Location Settings > Wire Settings >Manual.
Make sure to use a valid IP address and to set the same subnet set as dened by the rooter network settings.
