in the INSTALLATION menu before carrying out keystone adjustment. (See page 24.)
• When the keystone adjustment is carried out, the adjustment value is indicated. Note that this value doesn’t mean
a projection angle.
• The allowable range of the adjustment value in the keystone adjustment varies depending on the installation
conditions.
• 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 performed, the displayed image may be distorted.
