Features of the Projector

Horizontal and vertical keystone correction function
Keystone distortion in the projected image can be easily corrected, not only vertically but horizontally also. This allows even images which have been captured from a sideways angle to be projected correctly. (P. 44)
Color mode function
The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six pre-recorded settings according to the projection environment being used. (P. 63, 66) sRGB Normal Meeting Presentation Theater Amusement
Easy to Operate
The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (See "Freeze" on page 54) and zooming in on important areas of an image (See "E-Zoom" on page 56). In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection, to carry out operations such as moving to the next page to be projected. (See "Using the Remote Control to Operate the Mouse Pointer" on page 25.) If using the wireless mouse function with a USB connection you can use the remote control to display the next page or previous page when giving a presentation using PowerPoint documents.
Compact and lightweight
The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page (348 (W) x 104 (H) x 274 (D) mm) and is light in weight (approximately 4.2kg (9.3 lbs)).

Tip :
• The projector’s lens allows a zoom ratio of up to about 1.35. The image size at the maximum zoom setting is about 1.35 times bigger than the image size at the minimum zoom setting.
• The image size will be reduced when keystone correction is carried out.

Connecting to a Computer

Caution :
When connecting the projector to a comput er, be sure to check the following.
• Turn off the power for both the projector and the computer before connecting them. If the power for either device is on at the time of connection, damage may result.
• Check the shapes of the cable connectors and the device ports before making the connections. If you try to force a connector to fit a device port with a different shape or number of terminals, da mage to the connector or port may result.

Eligible Computers

The projector cannot be connected to some types of computer, or projection of images may not be possible even if actual connection is possible. Make sure that the computer you intend to use satisfies the conditions given below.
Condition 1: The computer must have a video signal output port.
Check that the computer has a por t such as an RGB port, mo nitor por t or CRT port which can output image signals. If the computer has a built-in monitor, or if using a laptop computer, it may not be possible to connect the computer to the projector, or alternatively you may need to purchase a separate external output port. Refer to the documentation for your computer under a heading such as "Connecting an external monitor" or simila r for fur th er detail s .
Condition 2: The display resolution and frequency of the computer must be
listed in the "List of Supported Monitor Displays". See Appendix: List of Supported Monitor Displays(P.106)
Some computers may have functions for changing the output resolution. For details, refer to the section of the d ocumentation pro vided with your comp uter and change the setting to within a range given in the list of supported resolutions.
19
Connecting to a Computer

Projecting Images from the Computer

The shape and specifications of the computer’s monitor port will determine which projector port and what type of cable should be used. Check the following to see which type of port your computer has.
If the monitor port is a mini D-Sub 15-pin port
Use the accessory computer cable to connect the Computer 2/Component V ideo port at the rear of the projector to the monitor port of the computer. If you are connecting two computers with analog RGB output to the projector, use the optional DVI analog cab le to connect the monitors of the two computers to the Computer 1 port at the rear of the projector.

Adjusting the Screen Image

S
You can adjust the screen image in order to obtain the best possible picture.

Adjusting the Image Size

The size of the projected image is basically determined by the distance from the projector to the screen. (P.18) The following procedures explain how to adjust the screen image once the projector itself has been set up.
Tip :
The E-Zoom function lets you enlarge parts of the image. (P.56)
Procedure
Turn the zoom ring on the projector to adjust the image.
Turn to Tele to reduce the size
The image can be enlarged in this way to 1.35 times the normal size.
If you would like to enlarge the image further,
Turn to Wide to increase the size
move the projector further away from the screen. (P.18)
Tip :
For computer images, you can use the [Resize] button to switch between resized display and normal size display.
• Resized display (default): The images are processed so that they automatically fill th e whole of the pr oject ion ar ea, regardless of the resolution setting.
• Normal sized display (window display): The images are projected at the same resolution that they are input. The image size and the projection area may be different depending on the resolution.

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 side Seen 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.
45

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.

Problem and remedy
This can happen when the power cord was disconnected from the electrical outlet before the cool-down period had finished the last time the projector was turned off. When turning off the projector, wait 2 minutes. After about 2 minutes, the cooling fan will stop. When the cooling fan stops, disconnect the power plug and then re-insert it. When the power cord is plugged back in, the projector will return to its previous state, so press the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to turn it back on. If the lamp operating error happens again when the power is turned back on, remove the lamp and check if the lamp is broken. If it is not broken, reinstall it. If it is broken, replace it. Then press the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel.If the indicators still show a problem, stop using the projector, disconnect the power cor d from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address provided at “International Warranty Conditions” in

included in the package.
The lamp will tu rn off autom atically and projection will stop. Wait for about 5 minutes without operating the projector. After 5 minutes have elapsed, the projector’s cooling fan will stop. Once the cooling fan has stopped, unplug the power cord and then plug it back in again. If the projector overh eats, check the fo llowing two points.
• Is the setting-up location well ventilated? Check that the air in le t a nd air outlet are clear, and that the projector is not positioned against a wall.
• Is the air filter blocked with dust? If the air filter is dirty, it should be cleaned.
When the power cord is plugged back in, the projector will retur n to its previous state, so press the [Power] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel to turn it back on. If the projector continue s to overheat even after the abov e points have been checked, or if the indicators show a problem when the power is turned back on, stop using the projector, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and contact your dealer or the nearest address prov ided at “International Warranty Conditions” in Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms included in the package.
