Features of the Projector
Includes horizontal and vertical keystone correction functions for
projecting at an angle
Keystone distortion in the projected image
can be easily corrected, not only vertically
but horizontally also.
This allows images to be projected correctly
even if the projector is not set up directly
perpendicular to the screen. (p. 12)
Compact and lightweight
The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page
(274 (D) x 348 (W) x 104 (H) mm (10.79 (D) x 13.7 (W) x 4.09 (H) inches) and
is light in weight (approximately 4.2kg (9.3 lbs)).
Equipped with five color modes
The optimum images can be projected simply
by selecting the desired color mode from the
following five preset modes in accordance
with the images being projected. No complex
color adjustments are required.
Dynamic Theatre Natural
PC sRGB
(p. 14)
Brilliant, Attractive Images
Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions
with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright
environments.
Adoption of a short focal-length lens that can project onto 80-inch screens
at distances of 2.5m (8.2 ft.)
This lens is ideal for projecting onto
large indoor screens. The projector
can also project onto 100-inch screens

If the projector cannot be set up so that it is exactly perpendicular to the screen, it can be set up so that it is
tilting slightly horizontally or vertically. To tilt the projector upward, adjust the front adjustable foot to tilt the
projector at an angle of up to a maximum 12°.
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.

Correcting Keystone Distortion
When the projector is set up at an angle, keystone distortion may appear in the projected images. If the
projector is adjusted to within a range of approximately 30° vertically or 10° horizont ally, the keystone
correction function can be used to adjust this keystone distortion.
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.

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 the front adjustable foot to adjust the angle 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.
When keystone correction is carried out, the projected image will become smaller.
••••
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 button, press the button
for 1 second or more.
To initalize horizontal keystone correction: While holding down the button, press the
button for 1 second or more.
If there is any noti ce able irregularity in the pro jec ted im ag es a fte r keystone corre ct ion has be en

Keystone correction can also be carried out using the projector’s environment setting menu.

(p.23)
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 indicate s that the lim it for horizontal or v ertical
keystone correction has been exceeded. Check that the projector has not been set up at an
angle which exceeds the proper limit. (p.12)
If the horizontal (or vertical) keystone correction function is used at the same time that the E-
••••
Zoom or P in P function is being used, the keystone correction amount may change when the EZoom 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 image signal being input.

Selecting the Color Mode
The following five color modes have been preset for use with images with varying characteristics. You can
use these color modes to obtain the optimum image quality easily, just by selecting whichever color mode
best suits the images. The brightness of the projected images will vary depending on the mode.
Mode name Use
Dynamic Ideal for projecting images with greater modulation and intensity.
Theatre Ideal for enjoying pre se n t at i ons such as movies which have large numb ers of dark scenes.
Natural Ideal for enjoying presentations in a natural atmosphere.
PC Ideal for use in making images as bright as possible when projecting computer imag es .
