EMP-1825/1810 Common Features
The following introduces features common to the EMP-1825 and the
EMP-1810.
Ease of use
f Quick Setup
This feature corrects distortion in the projected image by a simple onetouch operation. Images can be corrected and matched to the size of the
screen to simplify preparations.
f The A/V mute slide makes it
easy to project and store
You can stop and resume projection
easily by opening and closing the A/V
mute slide which makes giving clear
presentations easier.
f A single foot design means you do not have to make any
difficult leveling adjustments
You can easily make height
adjustments with one hand.
s Quick Start Guide

Enhanced security functions
f Password Protect to restrict and manage users
By setting a password you can restrict who can use the projector. s p.36
f Operation Lock restricts button operation on the control
panel
You can use this to prevent people changing projector settings without
permission at events, in schools, and so on. s p.39
f Equipped with various anti-theft devices
The projector is equipped with the following security devices. s p.40
• Security slot
• Security cable installation point
Easy to handle
f Direct power On/Off
In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference
room, the projector can be set to power on and off automatically when the
power source to which the projector is connected is switched on or off.
f No cool down delay
After turning the projector's power off, you can disconnect the projector's
power cable without having to wait for the projector to cool down first.
f High powered, 1.6 times zoom lens
The 1.6 times zoom allows for a wide range of installation positions to
suit most room layouts, whether the projector is on a stand, a table, or
ceiling mounted.

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image
17
There are four ways to correct distortion in projected images as below.
Automatic correction
• Quick Setup
Press the [Quick Setup] button to fit on the screen at an aspect ratio
of 4:3.
• Auto V-Keystone
Tilt the projector vertically to automatically correct distortion in the
vertical direction.
Manual correction
"Quick Corner" and "H/V-Keystone" are provided for manual
correction. These two methods cannot be applied at the same time.
• Quick Corner
This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the
projected image separately. Select "Settings" - "Keystone" - "Quick
Corner" to use Quick Corner for correction.
• H/V-Keystone
This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and
vertical directions independently.
Automatically Correcting Distortion (Quick Setup)
Quick Setup automatically corrects distortion in the projected image, that
occurs when the projector is installed at a tilt to the image projection
surface, so that the image is projected at an aspect ratio of 4:3. In the case
of a screen having an aspect ratio of 4:3, the projected image is corrected
so that it fits perfectly in the screen.
Refer to Quick Start Guide for how to do the operation. When the results
of the correction performed by Quick Setup not completely satisfactory,
perform fine adjustment using H/V-Keystone. s p.21
Here is how to fit the projected image within the screen.
The "Auto V-Keystone", "Quick Corner" and "H/V-Keystone" functions
project a test pattern onto the screen to correct the projected image,
so connection to a computer for preparing the projector is not required.
q
The status after correction by Quick Setup is stored in
memory even after the projector is turned off. When the
projector is installed at a fixed position for use, the
projected image does not need to be corrected once Quick
Setup has been performed.
Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image
f Fitting projected image properly inside the screen
When Quick Setup detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top
and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it
automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an
aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen,
whiteboard or blackboard.
When 3 or more sides
are detected
* When the projector is mounted from the ceiling, the image will be corrected
so that the bottom edge of the frame, such as the screen, fits inside the
projection area.
When top and bottom sides, or 2
adjacent sides are detected
18
• Quick Setup can provide effective correction when the
q
borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as
a white screen with black borders. When protecting
images on a blackboard, for example, you should stick a
large-sized sheet of white paper on the blackboard.
• Quick Setup can be used to carry out correction within the
ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these
ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly.
Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and
horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the
*
correction range will become narrower than the angles
given below.
- When correcting to within a border
Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 20°
- When projecting onto a surface without a border
Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 15°
• Quick Setup sometimes does not function properly when
the distance to the screen is 7.5 m or more. If this happens,
carry out adjustments manually.
• The state of the projection surface (flexing, patterns and
so on.) or external light sometimes prevent Quick Setup
from functioning properly since it uses a sensor to
perform correction. If this happens, carry out adjustments
manually.
When no border
is detected
When the frame is
horizontally long

Performing Manual Correction
f Quick Corner
This function independently corrects each of the four corners of the
projected image to align the image with the screen.

If the screen below is displayed during the correction, this indicates
that the correction amount limit has been reached.
q
To change the setting from Quick Corner to H/V-Keystone,
press and hold the [Esc] button for about two seconds and
display the following screen where you can make the
change.

Changing the Projected Image
22
You can change the projected image in the following two ways.
• Changing by Source Search
The projector automatically detects signals being input from
connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment
is projected.
• Changing directly
You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input
port.
Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)
You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image
signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source

The following screen showing the status of image signals is
displayed when only the image that the projector is
currently displaying is available, or when no image signal
can be found. You can select the input port where the
connected equipment you want to use is projecting. If no
operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen
closes.
