This is due to interference with the screen surface and is not a malfunction. Replace the screen or displace the focus a
little. (See page 18 or 23 for focus adjustment.)
When projected images are distorted to a trapezoid
When the screen and the projector are not placed perpendicularly to each other, projected images become
trapezoidal. If you cannot make the projector and the screen perpendicular to each other by mechanical adjustments,
