Setup
Based on the projection distance, choose the best position for your projected image.
The values are only a guide.
Before setting up the projector, make sure you read the separate Safety
Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms first.
After making keystone correction, the projected image will be smaller.
If this unit is not placed parallel to the
View from above
screen, the projected image is distorted in
the shape of a keystone.
Do not stand this projector upright.

Connecting to Visual Equipment
• Turn off connected
equipment. Damage
may result if you try
to connect when the
power is on.
• Do not try to force a
cable connector to
fit a port with a
different shape. This
may damage your
projector.
• When the source has an
unusual connection, use
the cable provided with
the source or
commercially available
cables.
• If you use a 2RCA (L/R)
stereo min-jack audio
cable, make sure it is
labelled "No resistance".

Adjusting Computer Images and RGB Video Images
Automatic Setup
Automatic setup detects analogue RGB signals coming from a connected
computer, and automatically adjusts these signals so that the optimum
images can be obtained.
Automatic setup involves adjustment of the following three items:
Trackingg, Position and Sync (synchronisation)g.
If "Auto Setup" in the "Signal" menu is set to "Off", automatic setup is not
carried out. In this case, press the [Auto] button on the remote control or
the [Enter] button on the projector's control panel to make the adjustment
while computer or RGB video images are being projected.
Using the remote control
Using the control panel
Adjusting the Tracking
If vertical stripes appear in the projected
computer or RGB video images, and this cannot
be fixed using automatic setup, you will need to
adjust the Trackingg manually using the
following procedure.

Selecting the Projection Quality
(Color Mode)
The following seven preset colour modes are available for use depending
on the characteristics of the images that are being projected. You can easily
obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the colour mode that
corresponds to the projected images. The brightness of the images will
vary depending on which colour mode is selected.
ModeApplication
Photo(When computer and RGB video images are being input)
The images are vivid and brought into contrast. Ideal for projecting
still pictures, such as photos, in a bright room.
Sports(When component video, S-video, or composite video images are
being input)
The images are vivid and brought to life. Ideal for watching TV
programmes and so on in a bright room.
PresentationIdeal for giving presentations in a bright room
TheatreGives images a natural tone. Ideal for watching films in a dark room.
GameExcels at emphasising dark gradations. Ideal for playing video
games in a bright room.
sRGBgIdeal for images that conform to the sRGB colour standard

setting gives your images a natural tint, just like when projecting
onto a screen

PROCEDURE
Remote control
Each time you press the button, the colour modes change in the
following order.
The current setting appears in the top-right corner of the screen each
time the colour mode is changed. While the colour mode name is
displayed on the screen, it does not change to the next colour mode
setting unless you press the button.

The colour mode can also be set using the "Color Mode"
command in the "Image" menu. sp.33
Adjusting the Volume
The volume of the projector's built-in speaker can be adjusted as follows.

When the button is pressed to the [] side, the volume increases,
and when it is pressed to the [] side, the volume decreases.
The volume gauge appears on the screen when the volume is being
adjusted.

•If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops
changing when the volume is being adjusted, it
indicates that the limit for volume adjustment has been
reached.
•The volume can also be adjusted using the

Useful Functions
This chapter explains useful functions for giving presentations and so on, and the security functions.
Functions for Enhancing Projection ................. 20
• Pausing the Image and Sound (A/V Mute) .......................20
• Freezing the Image (Freeze)...............................................20
• Changing the Aspect Ratio (Resizing)...............................21
• Displaying the Pointer (Pointer) ........................................21
• Enlarging Part of the Image (E-Zoom) .............................22
For example, this can be used if you want to pause the projection for a
moment and focus the audience’s attention on what you are saying. Or if
you are making a computer presentation and you do not want to show
details, such as selecting different files.
PROCEDURE
Remote control
You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [A/V Mute] button.
•If you use this function when projecting moving
images, the images and sound will still continue to be
played back by the source, and you cannot return to the
point where the A/V mute function was activated.
•The screen display in A/V mute can be chosen from
black, blue, or a logo by using "Extended" -"Display" "A/V Mute" in the configuration menu.
Freezing the Image (Freeze)
The source image continues to project even when the screen is frozen. You
can still perform operations such as changing files, without projecting any
images.
PROCEDURE
Remote control
You can turn this function on or off by pressing the [Freeze] button.
•Sound does not stop.
•Even though the image on the screen is frozen, the
image source continues to project, and so it is not
possible to resume projection from the point where it
was paused.
•Pressing the [Freeze] button also clears configuration
menu displays and help messages.
•The freeze function still works while the E-Zoom
function is being used.
Functions for Enhancing Projection

Changing the Aspect Ratio (Resizing)
This function changes the aspect ratiog of images from 4:3 to 16:9 when
component videog, S-Videog, or composite videog images are being
projected.
Images which have been recorded in digital video or onto DVDs can be
viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format.
When images in Squeeze
modeg are projected at 4:3
PROCEDURE
Remote control
When images in squeeze
mode are projected at 16:9
Displaying the Pointer (Pointer)
This allows you to move a pointer icon on the projected image, and helps
you draw attention to the area you are talking about.
PROCEDURE
A
Display the pointer.
Remote control
The display is changed whenever you press the button.
You can also make this setting using the "Resize"
command in the "Signal" menu.
Each time you press the button the pointer appears or
disappears.
