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 DIGITAL ZOOM and KEYSTONE in
combination, the adjustable range becomes
narrower than that when these functions are used
individually.
