You can keep the image display area within the screen by setting SCREEN SIZE in the ADVANCED MENU of IMAGE
menu according to the aspect ratio of the actual screen. Select 16:9 when the aspect ratio of the screen is 16:9 or
4:3, and select CINEMA SCOPE (2.35:1) when the aspect ratio is 2.35:1 (CinemaScope).
When setting SCREEN SIZE to CINEMA SCOPE (2.35:1):
CinemaScope size movies are projected in the full screen. •
Set ASPECT in the FEATURE menu to 16:9 when displaying Vista-size images. In this case, they are squeezed •
horizontally.
When ASPECT in the FEATURE menu is set to AUTO and 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p, or 1080i/p signal is input, the part •
for displaying subtitles is not projected. To display subtitles, reset SCREEN SIZE to 16:9 and adjust the image
position using VERTICAL LOCATION in the ADVANCED MENU of the IMAGE menu. (To display the menu on the
screen, adjust SHUTTER(U) in the SIGNAL - USER menu to position the menu.)

Be careful not to be caught in the opening in the lens while the lens is moving.•
When the lens is vertically shifted by a large amount, color separation may occur.•
While the lens shift is working, the screen may flicker.•
Correcting skewed or distorted image
For the best projection, project images on a flat screen installed at 90 degrees
to the floor. If necessary, tilt the projector using the two adjustment feet on the
bottom of the projector.
Tilt up the projector to the appropriate angle.1.
Rotate the adjustment feet for fine adjustment.2.
Important:
Don’t transport the projector with its adjustment feet extended. Otherwise the adjustment feet may be damaged.

When fine streaks are seen on projected images
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,
adjust keystone.
With the INSTALLATION menu:
(See page 26 for menu setting.)
Display the INSTALLATION menu. 1.
INSTALLATION
Select KEYSTONE by pressing the 2. p or q button.
Equalize the widths at the top and bottom of the screen by pressing the 3. t or
u button, viewing the screen.
To cancel the menu:
Press the MENU button several times. 4.
The best adjustment result can be obtained when the lens is positioned at the center of the lateral direction at the •
top in the longitudinal direction. Before performing the keystone adjustment, reset the lens position to the default
position by using LENS SHIFT RESET (see page 27) and then move it to the top using LENS SHIFT (see page 10).
When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean •
a projection angle.
When the keystone adjustment takes effect, the resolution decreases. In addition, stripes may appear or straight •
lines may bend in images with complicated patterns. They are not due to product malfunctions.
When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the image may not be displayed correctly because of the type of •
input signal.
When the keystone adjustment is performed, the displayed image may be distorted.•
Depending on the installation conditions of the projector and the screen, a perfect rectangular image and the •
proper aspect ratio may not be obtained.

Setting up your projector (continued)
Front projection, ceiling mounting
For ceiling mounting,
you need the ceiling
mount kit designed
for this projector.
Ask a specialist for
installation. For details,
consult your dealer.
The warranty on this projector does not cover any •
damage caused by use of any non-recommended
ceiling mount kit or installation of the ceiling mount
kit in an improper location.
When using the projector mounted on the ceiling, •
set IMAGE REVERSE in the INSTALLATION menu
to MIRROR INVERT. See page 27.
When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, •
images may appear darker than those projected in
the case of tabletop mounting. This isn’t a product
malfunction.
Ask your installation specialist to provide an A/C •
power switch. When you do not use the projector,
be sure to shut down the main power by the
switch.
Do not install the projector where the exhaust vents •
are exposed to air emitted by an air conditioning.
Such installation may cause a breakdown.
Do not install the projector near a fire alarm •
because it emits hot air from its exhaust vents.
Important:
We don’t recommend using the projector at an •
altitude of 1500 meters or higher. Use at an altitude of
1500 meters or higher may affect the projector’s life.
TRIGGER terminal
The TRIGGER terminal on the rear of the projector
is a terminal that outputs a 12 V signal to control an

Placing the projector directly on a carpet impairs •
ventilation by the fans, causing damage or
failure. Put a hard board under the projector to
facilitate ventilation.
Place the projector at least 50 cm (or 20 inch) •
away from the wall to prevent the air inlet grille
and the air outlet grilles that emit hot air from
being blocked.
Do not use the projector in the following •
locations and manners, which may cause fire or
electric shock.
In a dusty or humid place.•
In a sideways position, or with the lens facing •
down.
Near a heater.•
In an oily, smoky, or damp place such as a kitchen.•
In direct sunlight.•
Where the temperature rises high, such as in •
a closed car.
Where the temperature is lower than +41ºF •
(or +5ºC) or higher than +95ºF (or +35ºC ).

(See page 26 for menu setting.)
Display the INSTALLATION menu.1.
Select TRIGGER OUT by pressing the 2. p or q
button.
Select SCREEN or ANAMORPHIC by pressing the 3.
t or u button.
To cancel the menu:
Press the MENU button.4.
Caution:
Do not use the signal output from the TRIGGER •
terminal as a power for other devices.
Do not link the TRIGGER terminal with an audio •
terminal of other device because that device may
be damaged.
