Adjusting the Screen Image
Adjusting the Image Angle
You can change the projection angle for the projector. The projector should be
as perpendicular to the screen as possible.
Seen from the sideSeen from above
You can extend or retract the front adjustable foot to adjust the projection angle
within a maximum range of 12°.
Procedure
While pressing the foot adjust button,
lift up the front of the projector so that
the front adjustable foot can extend.
Extend the front adjustable foot until the
desired angle is obtained, and then release the
foot adjust button.
Foot adjust bu tton
Tip :
• When the foot is adjusted, it may cause the size of the projected images to become
distorted. Use the keystone correction function to adjust this distortion. (P.44)
• To retract the front adjustable foot, keep pressing the foot adjust button. The front
adjustable foot will slowly retract inside the projector.
• If the projector is tilted horizontally, turn the rear adjustable foot to adjust the angle.
42
If the projector cannot be set up so that it is perpendicular to the screen, you can
use the keystone correction function which is described on the following page
to adjust the projected images if the angle of the projector is within a range of
approximately 30° vertically or approximately 10° horizontally from the
perpendicular.
The values given here are for when the image is at the smallest zoom setting
(telephoto). The maximum angles will be smaller if the zoom setting has been
increased in the wide angle direction. Furthermore, if the projector has been
tilted both vertically and horizontally, the maximum adjustable angle will again
be smaller than the maximum angle if the projector had been tilted in only one
direction.

Correcting Keystone Distortion
In some cases it may not be possible to set up the projector so that the setting
angle is perpendicular to the position of the screen. In such cases, a type of
distortion known as "keystone distortion" may appear in the projected images.
If keystone dis tortion occurs, you can co rrect it us ing t he [K e yst one] b utt ons on
the projector's control panel.

Tip :
• When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.
• Procedure to follow if using both horizontal and vertical keystone correction:
1. With the front adjustable foot retracted, set the projector so that it is fully horizontal.
2. Extend th e front adjustable foot to adjust the an gle as necessary.
3. Adjust the vertical keystone distortion until both sides of the picture are vertical.
4. Adjust the horizontal keystone distortion until the top and bottom edges of the
picture are both horizontal.
• The keystone correction settings are memorized, so that if you change the position or
angle of the projector, you may need to readjust the keystone correction settings.
To return a previous keystone correction to the initial setting, carry out the following
operations.
To initalize vertical keystone correction: While holding down the [Sync +] button,
press the [Sync -] button for 1 second or more.
To initalize horizontal keystone correction: While holding down the [Tracking +]
button, press the [Tracking -] button for 1 second or more.
• If the images become uneven in appearance after keystone correction is carried out,
decrease the Sharpness setting. (P.63)
• Keystone correction can also be carried out using the projector menu. (P.69)
• If you carry out both horizontal and vertical keystone correction, the correction range
will become smaller than it would be if only one type of correction was carried out.
• If the value displayed in the gauge on the screen stops changing when horizontal or
vertical keystone correction is being carried out, it indicates that the limit for
horizontal or vertical keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector
has not been set up at an angl e which exceeds the proper limit.
• If the horizontal (or vertica l) keystone correction function is u s ed a t t he sa me t ime th at
the E-Zoom, Effects or P in P function is being used, the keystone correction amount
may change when the E-Zoom, Effects or P in P function is operated while the keystone
correction amount is near the limit value.
• The limit value for keystone correction will vary depending on the video signal being
input.

Adjusting the Image Quality
S
The quality of the screen images can be adjusted as follows.
Focusing the Screen Image
Procedure
Turn the focus ring to adjust the image
focus.
Turn the focus ring of the projector until the
projected images are in proper focus.
Tip :
• If the surface of the lens is dirty or misted over as a result of condensation, it may not
be possible to adjust the focus correctly. If this happens, clean or de-mist the lens.
(P.91)
• If the projector is positioned outside the normal projecting range of 0.9 – 12.4 m (3.0 –
40.7 ft.), it may not be possible to obtain the correct focus. If you have trouble
obtaining the corr ect foc u s, c h eck the projection distance.
