• Install the projector so that it is parallel to the screen. If the projector is installed at an angle to the screen, keystone distortion occurs in the projected image.

• Place the projector on a level surface. If the projector is tilted the projected image is also tilted.

• See the following if you cannot install the projector parallel to the

screen. s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.40

• See the following if you cannot install the projector on a level surface.

s "Adjusting the Horizontal Tilt" p.45 s "Correcting Keystone Distortion" p.40

Screen Size and Approximate Projection Distance

Projection size is determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. See the illustrations on the right to select the best position according to the screen size. The illustrations show the approximate shortest distance at maximum zoom. See the following for more information on the projection distance.

Key ID

Selects the WEP encryption ID key.

Type of security

When the Wireless LAN unit is installed and you are using Advanced, it is strongly recommended that you set security. Select one of the following security methods.

List of Functions

• WEP

Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key). This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.

• WPA

This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses TKIP and AES.

WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without using a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.

For setting details, follow the directions from the network

administrator of your network.

Power Consump‐ tion

You can set the lamp brightness to one of two settings. Select ECO if the images being projected are too bright, such as when projecting images in a dark room or onto a small screen. When ECO is selected, power consumption during projection decreases, and fan rotation noise is reduced.

When using at high altitude or in locations subject to high temperatures, you may not be able to change settings.

Light Optimizer

(This item can only be set when Power Consumption is set to Normal.)

When set to On, the lamp brightness is adjusted according to the image being projected. This helps to reduce the amount of electricity being used by lowering the lamp's brightness according to the scene being projected.

The setting is stored for each Color Mode.
