Relational table for maximum shift amounts (aspect ratio 4 : 3)
Maximum amount of shift
The maximum amount of vertical shift is restricted by the amount
of horizontal shift made.
The amount of shift is defined as follows:
With the screen width taken as 1, horizontal shift is defined as a
ratio (%) of the screen width, while with the screen height taken
as 1, vertical shift is defined as a ratio (%) of the screen height.

Install the projector so the center of the projection
screen is the same height as the center of the lens.
The separately sold lenses used on the projector have a lens shift function. With the lens used, you can adjust the projected
image vertically using the setting menu or the remote control’s SHIFT button U or D.
When using the projectors in a stack configuration (stacked one over another), make adjustment so that the picture of one
projector overlays exactly that of another using the lens shift function.
No.51666
For detailed adjustment procedures, refer to “Operating the Setting Menu” (page 30) and “Controls and Features” (page 11).
For maximum amount of shift, refer to “Maximum Amount of Shift” (page 17).
(When the lens needs to be adjusted in horizontal angles, consult your dealer or service center.)
Note
• Some of the lenses (except GL-M4023SZ and GL-M4015S) to be introduced in the future may not feature the lens shift function.
Memo
Stack configuration:
Up to four projectors can be stacked and used together (stack configuration).
Using two or more projectors together, high image brightness can be attained. This allows you to project suf ficiently bright image in a fairly large
auditorium or relatively bright place without using a heavy-duty projector.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the projector during shipment, a shift center lock pin was used to fix the lens mechanism when the projector was shipped
out the factory. If you implement “SHIFT LENS” on the setting menu and the lens does not either move up or down, the shift center lock pin may
not have been removed. Consult your dealer or service center.
CAUTIONS and NOTES
• When installing the screen, use a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture.
(A 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is projected based on the width of the range in which a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture is projected.)
• The diagonal length of a 16 : 9 aspect ratio picture is about 91.8% that of a 4 : 3 aspect ratio picture. This value is a guide
and should be used as a reference.
• When projecting at the maximum projection distance, we recommend that the projector be used with the zoom on
the Tele (T).
• If sunlight or lamp light strikes the projection screen directly, the picture becomes whitish and dim. Be sure to use a
curtain, etc. to shield the light.
• Trapezoidal distortion may not be corrected.
Adjust the projector within the range of angle adjustment (up/down adjustment angle: +4°; horizontal adjustment angle:
±5°) so that it is set up level.

CAUTIONS and NOTES
Do not turn off the MAIN POWER switch suddenly while the projector is being used or immediately after it has been
used. This could cause a malfunction.
•Since the projector uses a high-intensity lamp and is heated to high temperature, cooling fans are operating even during
projection. So, after use, the cooling fans continue to run until the light-source lamp is sufficiently cooled down after the
OPERATE button was pressed. During the cooling-down, never turn off the main power switch. T urn it off only after the cooling
fans (except the one for the light-source lamp power supply) have stopped running.
(The cooling fans will run for about 10 minutes after the STAND BY indicator has changed from flashing (for about 20 seconds)
to steady lighting.)
•If you press the OPERA TE button immediately after the light-source lamp lights, it takes about 30 seconds for the lamp to go
off. To turn the lamp on again, wait 20 seconds or more before pressing the OPERATE button.
When the TEMP indicator lights, the power turns off automatically.
•While the light-source lamp is on, if an abnormal temperature rise is detected, the TEMP indicator comes on, the power is
automatically cut off, and the projector’s EMERGENCY indicator blinks (goes into an emergency mode).
When the EMERGENCY indicator blinks, turn off the main power switch after the fans have stopped running.
•If the following abnormality occur to the projector, it goes into an emergency mode (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks).
When the projector goes into an emergency mode, it stops projecting automatically and the cooling fans will continue to run for
about 10 minutes more before they stop (except the cooling fan for the light-source lamp power supply which continues
running as long as the MAIN POWER switch is on).
– When the fans stop running.
– When the temperature inside rises abnormally high.
•When the projector goes into an emergency mode:
After the fans have stopped, turn off the MAIN POWER switch and pull out the power cord. After that, re-insert the power cord
and try to operate the projector. If it goes into emergency again, after the fans have stopped, turn off the main power switch,
pull out the power cord, and consult your authorized dealer or service center for repair.
