Preparation
Preparation for projection
1. Attach the provided power cord to the projector.
2. Plug the power cord in the wall outlet.
Warning:
• Do not look into the lens directly when the projector
is on.
• One of power cords for the U.S., Europe, U.K.,
Australia, and Korea is provided appropriately.
• This projector uses the power plug of three-pin
grounding type. Do not remove the grounding pin
from the power plug. If the power plug doesn’t fit
your wall outlet, ask an electrician to change the wall
outlet.
• In case that the power cord for the U.S. is provided
with this projector, never connect this cord to any
outlet or power supply using other voltages or
frequencies than rated. If you want to use a power
supply using other voltage than rated, prepare an
appropriate power cord separately.
• Use 100-240 V AC 50/60 Hz to prevent fire or
electric shock.
• Do not place any objects on the power cord or do
not place the projector near heat sources to prevent
damage to the power cord. If the power cord should
be damaged, contact your dealer for replacement
because it may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not modify or alter the power cord. If the power
cord is modified or altered, it may cause fire or
electric shock.
Important:
• Install the screen on a flat wall at 90 degrees to the
floor.
• Slanting the projector more than ±10° (right and left)
or ±15° (front and rear) may cause trouble or
explosion of the lamp. You can tilt the projector up to
7 degrees using the adjustment feet only.
• Images may not be projected in a shape of a regular
rectangle or with its aspect ratio 4:3, depending on
the installation conditions of the projector and the
screen.
When projected images are distorted
to a trapezoid
When AUTO KEYSTONE in the INSTALLATION menu is
set to ON, this projector automatically corrects vertical
keystone distortion. For fine adjustment, press the
KEYSTONE button on the projector or the remote
control to display Keystone, and adjust the image by
pressing the S,T button (or +, - button on the remote
control).
Caution:
• Plug in the power cord firmly. When unplugging,
hold and pull the power plug, not the power cord.
• Do not plug in or out the power cord with your hand
wet. It may cause electric shock.
Important:
• When STANDBY MODE in the INSTALLATION menu
is set to STANDARD, the fans rotate at very low
speed during standby after plugging the power cord
(with 5 second high speed rotation at the beginning)
and after turning off the lamp. This is to cool down
the projector operating various functions during
standby and is not a malfunction. (When STANDBY
MODE is set to LOW or LAN, the fans stop during
standby.)
Adjustment of the projection angle
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.
Using the adjustment feet (front)

Preparation (continued)
Important:
• The automatic keystone adjustment may not be
carried out correctly because of the ambient
temperature and the installation conditions of the
projector and the screen. In such cases, correct the
keystone manually.
• When the projector is projecting images where
acceleration is present, such as in a vehicle and
aircraft, the automatic keystone adjustment may not
function correctly. In such a case, set AUTO
KEYSTONE in the INSTALLATION menu to OFF and
correct the keystone manually.
• When the KEYSTONE-mode adjustment is carried
out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this
value doesn’t mean a projection angle.
• When the KEYSTONE-mode 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-mode adjustment is
performed, the displayed image may be distorted.
• Noise may appear on the screen during the
KEYSTONE-mode adjustment because of the type
of the video signal being projected and the setting
values of the KEYSTONE-mode adjustment. In such
cases, set the KEYSTONE-mode adjustment values
in the range where the image is displayed without
noise.
• When the KEYSTONE-mode adjustment is
performed, the menu display is distorted. To relieve
such symptom, set the MENU POSITION to center.
• When you use E-ZOOM/SHIFT and KEYSTONE in
combination, the adjustable range becomes
narrower than that when these functions are used
individually.
